She will be loved

Chapter 7: Where do we go from here?

(Demi's P.O.V) 

Throughout my whole life I have always been told to fight for what I want. Well here's the thing I have tried but failed miserably. I poured my heart out the night Ashley and I had sex. Yes to me it meant everything. I thought Ashley felt the same way. Only I was dead wrong. She only did it with me because she thought it would get her to the live shows. To show her how wrong she ws on that point I kept her on the show even though it kills me to be around her. 

When they showed her intro video I couldn't hold back the tears any longer. I had to leave before anyone could notice how uncomfortable I felt. Before Ashley even had the chance to sing I left the room saying I wasn't feeling too good. Well that part was somewhat true. I am such an ass though for draging Ashley into my mess. This wasn't her fault it was mine. I couldn't help but jump over someone knocking at my dressing room door. 

"Go away." I say through struggling tears. "Demi its me Ashley please let me in I really need to talk to you." 

Wait what? Did I just hear her voice through my door ? Call me crazy but it sounds like she's about to break down. I can't be rude to Ashley. I have to work with her. We have to settle things now just to clear the air. As hard as it is for me I crawl off the bed and open the door. 

"Can I come in?" Ashley asks. I study her hard with curious eyes. "Un sure. Hey I am sorry I walked off during your performance. I just wasn't feeling too good." I add trying to not make it any more awkward. "Its ok. I heard you have been sick. Are you feeling any better or ?" Ashley asks. "Uh yeah. Just had the flu." I lied. I can't let Ashley know the real reason as to why I was out. 

"Demi I am really sorry . For everything I have ever done to you to hurt you. I really didn't mean to. I have been such an ass I should have told you about Jc. I just ... everything was happing way to fast. I was scared. Not just about what we did but how I really felt. Demi I would be lying to you if I didn't tell you I don't have feelings for you. These few days without you have made me come to realize how I really feel. Its been hard for me to admit it but I finally did to myself and wanted to tell you. I know by now you don't care but I just wanted to tell you that. so I am sorry I wasted your time." 

I can't seem to capture what just really happened. I have been waiting for Ashley to say that all along. The only main question is where do we go from here ? 

( Ashley's P.O.V) 

Shit now its out in the open. All of these thoughts and feelsing that have been running through my mind all week are finally said. I have noticed this because when Jc and I kissed earlier it just didn't feeel right. Like it didn't feel the same as it used to. 

I watch Demi who's sitting there still not really knowing what to do. I don't blame her. I wouldn't date myself because of what I have done. I put this girl through hell. I am about to leave when there's a tug on my arm pulling me back into the room. 

"You could never waist my time."  Those soft words are whispered into my ear. I open my eyes to find Demi's lips inches from mine. I grip my hands around her waist. I pull her close to me as she leans in for a kiss. This kiss was different from the first one I shared with her because this time I kissed her with everything I got. Then just like that Demi pulls away with a questiong look on her face. 

What' about Jc?" Demi asks. I can feel the hurt she still holds when his name is being mentioned. "Don't worry I will take care of it." I say as I push a strand of hair out of her face and lean in for another kiss.
