“Can you please stop shaking your leg ? Your shaking the whole couch.” I roll my eyes as I struggle to keep my leg from shaking. These past few days have been hell. Demi hasn’t shown her face at all during our rehearsals. Apparently she’s been sick but I doubt she’s sick. If anything she’s heartbroken and its all my fault. There’s nothing I can do about it now but to try my best to not miserably fail. 

 “Ok girls Demi has been sick and she won’t be coming today either. Today I will be helping you girls out.” Thank God , I can hear myself say. “Is everything ok Miss. Constancio?” I look up at the sound of Simon’s voice. Ops did I just say my last remark out loud ?

 “Um yeah everything’s fine.” I lie. “Ok good Jennel follow me your my first victim. This should be fun.” Simon says with a teasing smile. 

 Thankfully the last round of rehearsal's went by great. Surprisingly Simon is a lot more easier to work with than Demi. He really does know his stuff. With last minute changes I feel like I am prepared for tonight. Ahh yes the first live show is tonight. Somehow Demi agreed to keep me on the show even after all I did to her. I just got really lucky I guess.

 ( 1 hour until live show’s ) 

 “You think your ready for tonight ?” Jennel asks as we await backstage. “More than ready. Too bad Simon can’t be our mentor for the rest of the season.” I add as I take a sip of my water. “You know you were really excited to have Demi as your mentor before all this happened. Have you tried talking to her yet?” Jennel asks. 

 I am about to reply when I feel warm strong arms wrap around my stomach. Before I know it I am lifted off the ground and I couldn’t help but squeal as he spins me around (just like you see in the movies). Next thing i know I find myself burring my face into his warm welcoming chest knowing exactly who this boy is. 

 Of course since I am  short I have to stand on my tippy toes to reach for a kiss. Knowing that’s what I want Jc leans in to make it easier. During our soft but heavy kiss I can feel eyes watching. Yes they have the camera’s on us and stuff but there’s a different set of eyes. After the kiss I look over his shoulder to find Demi staring at us. She looks away as she catches my glance. She looks hurt. Before I look away I even catch her rubbing her eye with her dark long sleeve. Then just like that I feel it. I feel the pain that she’s feeling and the longing for love. 

“You girls ready ? Its show time.” I hear someone say. I give Jc a quick hug not wanting to give him a kiss. I look to where Demi was only to find her not there. I leave Jc and follow CeCe to our usual spot backstage. 

Usally before a big show my nervers start to take ahold of me taking me to my deepest and darkest thoughts. I am about to take a deep breath when I am distracked by my intro video. Of course earlier today they asked me questions about Jc and my youtube world. I can hear my friends scream as I mention their names. Finally they show the last part which is my meeting with Simon. Then it all comes to an end as the spotlights fill the room.  

 I can hear everyone screaming as the song Still Into You by Paramore breaks through the room. Then just like that I let it all out. As I am halfway through the performance I make my way over to Jc. I can hear all the girls screaming as I drag him onstage. I couldn’t help but smile through the words of the song as Jc blushes. As soon as I blurt out the last verse I lift my head back and let out a laugh as Jc hugs me tightly. I slightly hear the words I love you being whispered into my hear as I hear the hosts coming over laughing. I am about to say I love you back when I am interrupted by Mario. 

 “Well that was defiantly a performance we are never going to forget. Simon you sure weren’t kidding. Great job Ashley and Jc its nice to finally meet you.” Mario says as he shakes Jc’s hand. 

Thankfully I got great reviews by everyone. The only one who I didn’t hear from was Demi but that’s because she wasn’t their when the song ended. I got so into the song and my performance that I completely forgot about her. Oh God what have I done ? I mean we just had sex how could she fall in love with me that quickly ? All I know is that I need to get off this stage and go see Demi. Even if that means leaving Jc behind.
