It All Started with the X Factor (a Demi Lovato Fan Fic)

Chapter 11

Jess' P.O.V

"Oh god.. do you think they'll like me? What if they don't like me? What if they hate me and they force you to stop seeing me?"

I groaned to myself and kept one hand on the wheel before letting the other find her hand and squeeze it tightly.

"Dem, they're gonna love you! Take a deep breath". I squeezed her hand once more and looked over at her as the car came to a halt at the red light.

She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath before letting it out. I leaned over and pressed my lips against her cheek softly. She turned her head and closed her eyes and leaned in pressing her lips against mine softly.

I would've kissed her back but the car behind us started honking and i quickly pulled back and started the car as my eyes glued to the road.

"They're gonna love you okay! My family, they're going to love you".

Demi had promised me that as soon as X Factor was over and as soon as i had spent Christmas with her family that she would come and meet mine.

Demi took another deep breath and intertwined my fingertips with hers. When she opened her eyes she tilted her head a little confused.

"W-why are we at the cemetery?". She turned to her side and looked at me and i slipped my hand out of her grip.

We had been together for four months and i hadn't even told her that my father was dead. I mean whenever she asked about my family she wasn't asking about anyone specific and we she did ask about my 'father'. I just told her the things about my step-father, because he was the one that helped raised me alongside my mother, he was pretty much the only father i knew.

"Before we go and meet my family... there is someone that you need to meet first".

I unbuckled myself and opened the car door getting out.

It took Demi a little while before she finally made her way out of the car and around the car to my side.

I took a deep breath and grabbed her hand, intertwining our fingertips before pulling her towards the graves.

"Jess, why did you bring me here?". She raised her brows, but i just ignored her as we made out way to the bottom.

I stopped right in front of his grave and a small smile creased my lips when is aw fresh flowers there.

Demi let go of my hand and looked over my shoulder as she read the gravestone.

The last name made her question whether it was an uncle or a brother, but she knew i only had sisters. "Jess... who is-". She paused when she read the print underneath it. "A loving husband to Julia and a loving father to Lauren and Jessica".

Demi's P.O.V

My heart dropped when i saw her name there. 'Loving father'. But her dad was, wasn't he alive?

I turned to look at Jess' facial expression but she was to busy studying the flowers and i could see how sad her expression looked. I sighed softly and slipped my arms around her waist, leaning my head against her shoulder.

She breathed out softly and instantly grabbed my hands, holding them tightly.

"Why didn't you say?". I said softly.

She shrugged and my nose brushed against her cheek before brushing back down.

"You never asked". Tears were forming in the corner of my eyes and it broke my hear a little and i tightened my grip around her.
