Chapter#19
"Can't Lose My Baby Girl"

JOE's P.O.V.

It's been two days. Demi seems to be okay. Except for the fact that she has been giving me the cold shoulder. I think I deserve that if not worse. Anyway Gigi has no idea which I'm happy for. I can't lose her. After all she's my love and I'm engaged to her. I still have feelings for Demi. But I don't think I should. I realised that I need to leave her in the past.

We were now heading to a fancy restaurant. It was a long day. We had a conference which went well. But now, I'm really hungry and so are Gigi and Demi. They seems to go along pretty well. Sometimes I'm the one who feels like the third wheel. Not that I'm complaining but yeah.

Our car stopped in front of Restaurant Lasserre. The restaurant was pretty fancy. We got out of the car and went in.

"Bonjour, monsieur[Hello, sir]" A waitress greeted us.

"Bonjour. Table pour trois..[Hello, Table for three]" I said.

"par ici, monsieur. Suivez-moi. [This way, sir. Follow me" She smiled and led us to a table. We took our seats me helping Gigi. I was sitting beside Gigi with Demi opposite to us.

"Quelles boissons aimeriez-vous avoir? [What drinks would you like?]"The waiter asked.

"Je vais avoir une bière de racine [I'll have a root beer]" I smiled

"même [same]" Gigi said

"Je vais avoir l'eau. [I'll have water]" Demi said.

"D'accord. Je serai de retour avec vos boissons. [Okay. I'll be back with your drinks]" She smiled and went away to get our drinks. We started looking at the menu.

After a while the waiter came back with our drinks and we gave her our orders.

"So, Demi. After we get back to New York, I want you to confirm the project with Mr. Stewart. I really hope this project will bring us a lot of luck. Besides I really want to work with him and it's great deal" Gigi said.

"Okay, Ms. Hadid. I'll make sure of it" Demi said.

"Okay." Gigi smiled.

Suddenly Demi's phone started ringing. She got it out and looked at the caller ID.

"Excuse me, I really need to take this call." Demi said.

"Okay" Gigi said and Demi went outside to take the call.

"Baby, I'll be back. I need to use the restroom. " I got up and went the men's restroom.

After I got out I over heard Demi. I looked at her and she was holding her phone as close to her ear as possible and there was tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Miles, Please do something. Please. I can't come back. I can't lose my baby girl. Please do whatever you can." Demi said as she tried to control her tears.

"I know. It's just-, she's my baby girl." Demi said.

"Okay, keep me updated. Call me as soon as the doctor comes out." Demi hung up.

Demi walked to the women's restroom probably to clean herself up. I went back to Gigi feeling bad for Demi. When I got there our food was already there.

"Took you long enough" Gigi said.

"Sorry" I pecked her lips and sat down beside her.

After a while Demi came back. Her face was red from crying and she took most of her makeup off. She sat down on her seat.

"Demi, are you okay? Have you been crying? What happened?" Gigi asked realising Demi's state.

"My baby girl--" With that Demi broke down.

"What happened? Demi, tell us" Gigi insist as Demi tried to calm herself.

"MJ daughter got hit by a car. She's in the hospital. Doctors said that she lost a lot of blood. There is a chance that she won't make it" Demi said between sobs. My heart literally broke seeing her like that. She's not my daughter. Still I felt really bad for that poor little girl. And for Demi. I can tell how much she loves her daughter.

"Demi, everything is going to be fine. She'll be alright. I know she's a strong little girl. Trust me. She'll make it through. Do you want to go back?" Gigi asked.

"But what about the conferences?" Demi asked.

"It's okay. I'll handle it. You go back home and be with your daughter. Come back to work when everything is fine. Okay?" Gigi said and Demi nodded.

"I just can't lose my daughter. She's everything I have and we've been through too much." Demi admitted.

"Everything's going to be fine. Go to the airport and get a ticket with our company name and go back home. Okay?" Gigi asked.

"Okay." Demi got up and took her purse and said goodbye to us. She rushed out of the hotel and I helped her get a taxi to airport.
