  I feel the vibrations of my watch. I was very warm contrasting what I normally am in the morning. Demi was very warm like a human heater. Her arm reached across me keeping me close to her, I had to figure out how to get out of this, without waking her. It was 2:30. I carefully moved her arm back to her. I grabbed my cloths and went into the bathroom that was the door in my bedroom. I closed the door and put a towel on the door crack in the bottom to hide some of the light. I changed into my black full length leggings. Put a grey shirt on and some tennis shoes. I grabbed my duffel. I wouldn't leave it here with Demi when I went away ever. I turned off the light and opened the door. I kissed Demi's forehead before leaving. I put some eggs on the stove making some scrambled eggs for myself and enough for Demi later.
  I ate quickly before leaving turning off all the lights. Also locking the door before I leave. I didn't have a key so I had to hope and pray that Demi would be here when I got home otherwise I'd pick her door.
  I made it to headquarters just in time. An agent knows not to be early or late but just on time. I stopped at my locker and dropped my duffel off but kept my I.D. clipped to my shirt. I went to the 5 floor, briefing rooms. There was one person in the elevator, it was a guy he looked hot but intimidating. Very intimidating. He got out on the 2 floor. I continued to the 5 floor. The gray floors and white walls were clean as possible it looked the wall was cleaned every hour. I continued to briefing room 7.
  I entered and there was an older brunette in there. I nodded at her. I sat down quietly. She passed me a folder and a card. New identity Lilly Michaels. Red hair, bright green eyes. I looked at my folder. I was a body guard for a week. For Demi? That is quite cool. Too bad she can't know it's me though. Her original body guard went on a vacation and she had a meet and greet. I went to the disguise room. I grabbed a professional and gave her my card for the mission. She didn't speak a word, and neither did I. She got to work quickly not wasting a second. It only took 10 minutes. My hair was dyed with a special hair dye the headquarter has and my eyes were just contacts. I grabbed my cloths for the mission. I also grabbed my workout clothes. I left quickly I went to the garage finding my garage quickly. An agent can hold up to 4 cars in their garage. I only had one. I didn't want another because mine is custom. I had to get a different one so I rented one quickly, it was black. I drove quickly to Demi's. I knocked on the door quickly. She opened the door. She was ready and was holding a plate of scrambled eggs, half eaten.
  "Ms. Lovato I'm you bodyguard replacement, I will be playing one of your teams neice." I said professionally.
  She ushered me in quickly. I sat on the couch professionally. Crossing my legs. She disappeared into the kitchen. I also got a blueprint of her house layout so now I know exactly where everything. I decided that after we came back from Demi's meet and greet I would stay at headquarters for one extra night so she wouldn't get suspicious.
  She returned. She had black leggings on, a yellow button up with a leather jacket. She also had a black hat on. With cute leather black boots. She cleaned up pretty well. I was wearing some light jeans, with a white shirt and a gray cardigan, also with gray leather boots, they were still easy to run in. I had knives and guns hidden in my cloths, 4 guns, 5 knives.
  "Ms. Lovato are you ready to go?" I asked professionally. She nodded and grabbed her bags. She seemed a little off. If I didn't know her I wouldn't have noticed it but because I do I did. I couldn't ask about it though it would ruin my cover.
  I led her to my car which we would drive to the airport to which we would get on a plane and then arrive at the city then I would drive us to the hotel where we would stay for a night then Tuesday we would go to the Meet and Greet, spend the night again then head back Wednesday. I would spend an extra night at headquarters. Then return to Demi's house as myself.
  No conversation started, this was professional. I stopped at the airport flashing both I.D.s quickly to the guard so Demi wouldn't see my real one. I parked in a different spot than last time, closer to the plane to make it a priority, I hand the keys to someone. I didn't know anyone here except the Boss. We walk back to the front of the airport, me holding her bags and my backpack. I had called in a few other agents to act as body guards for the airport because of the mass amount of people there.
  "More agents are coming Ms. Lovato." I said informing her.
  "I would expect nothing less." She replied, her voice almost cracked in the middle. That's weird I wonder why. Three other agents showed up, they nodded respectively at me. I was a high rank, actually besides the Bosses there was very few above me. We continued our walk to the gate, I already bought the plane tickets. Well actually I put it in the headquarters name, first class too. I normally don't ride in public planes except as a body guard. When I do I do it in style and comfort. We were right on time to the gate. We boarded last. I nodded at the agents who left. I was by the aisle, Demi by the window. It was a pretty short flight. I stayed awake the whole time, this was a very professional time. Even though I just wanted to put my head on Demi's shoulder and sleep, but I couldn't. Blowing cover was not an option, ever. I had this mission weeks before Demi came to the orphanage. I couldn't stop it, but it wouldn't be that bad to do missions like this any more.
  We waited before everyone was off before standing up. I had the airport sweeped, it was clean per say. Three agents came onto the plane as we escorted Demi to my car that was delivered. We made it to my car and the agents left quickly. I drove to the hotel. I had the room keys sent to myself so we could go to the hotel quickly. I parked very close to the front. I got out quickly, standing up straight as a board. I opened her door and we walked in. I had put sunglasses on, before we got in the car, it made me look cool. I went straight to the elevator. I pressed the 3 floor button. I checked the hallways quickly before letting Demi continue. We made it to her room. Room 103 this is a huge hotel. Not surprising though. I opened it checking inside before continuing inside letting Demi follow. I saw a larger chair and put my backpack on it. I grabbed my fake I.D. before closing it. I didn't leave anything important in there. I stood straight, of course when do I not at work? we just stayed in the hotel room, I played on my phone because why not? It was my work phone but I still had games on it. I left my personal phone in my locker. Didn't want Demi to call and it ring. I would be screwed majorly. We went to a restraunt so she could eat. I just ate a granola bar I had.
  I didn't just sleep I just stood by the door. I normally didn't sleep as a bodyguard. I could go one week without sleep, at the end I wouldn't be as good as I could be but still good. Demi went to sleep three hours ago, dang she goes to bed late. It was 1am, I just stood there. It probably looked quite creepy but it was my job. I just played on my phone until morning. I ate another granola bar. We went to the hotel lobby so she could grab breakfast. She grabbed two boiled eggs and a piece of toast. We had to be there in an hour so it was probably good. I didn't know how long it took for her but most celebrities it took half an hour. She ate quickly before we went to my car. I drove to the venue, I could feel her staring at me. It was very creepy and I felt very nervous, like if she would figure it out I had makeup on too. It didn't look like it though. I pulled up behind the building. I secured the area before leading her to the back door. We went to her dressing room where I just watched outside. It probably looked weird, but I was here to do a job.
  She was done. She went and sat down at the table. I stood at a corner by the table. I talked to the guards before and we set what we wanted to do. Finally the meet and greet was over. Not to be mean but it took a while. They seemed to notice there was something off about her. We went back to the hotel, it was 5. I ordered a pizza. It came up to the door. I paid him quickly giving him a 20, I didn't want the change so I told him to keep it. I put it on the table. Demi came over and ate 2 slices happily. I ate another granola bar, she looked at me weirdly. I didn't really care I get those looks all the time. I was  a 13 year old eating a granola bar instead of pizza. We just were on our phones until she went to bed. I slept lightly, every little sound woke me. It was 5 when I decided I would eat a granola bar and get dressed. At 7 I woke Demi up, we had to leave in an hour. Early flights are horrible. She got ready.
  She was excited, I finally realised why she was off. She missed me. It was kinda cute. But she though I would be back today, but I wouldn't be. Why does she make me feel so guilty sometimes. We wouldn't get there until 2. We repeated the process that we did getting here. We were right on time, surprisingly. I dropped her off walking inside with her, I would stay here until her bodyguard came back. I just followed her around. She was sad when she didn't find me there, if only she knew. Her bodyguard showed up and I left quickly. I headed to headquarters. I went back to the showers going back to myself. I put everything back with the disguise things.
  I decided to just workout until I went to bed. I didn't have any time to exercise during the mission, I normally don't. I started running like normal. I went to the punching bags, then to lift and ended with more running. I went to the sleeping quarters which was on the 9 floor above the Boss's because it wasn't used that much. I quickly changed into some extra workout cloths in my locker and brought cloths that I would wear tomorrow. I went to a bunk and went to bed. I slept great on the bed. I changed into the cloths and decided to eat breakfast before heading to Demi's. Headquarters cafeteria knew how to cook, that's for sure.  
  I decided did my mission report while eating. I turned it in. It was easy because nothing happened. I put the tray in the stack. I ran back, not breaking a sweat. I tried to enter the house but it wasn't open. I knocked, doubting she would be up at 7 though. Surprisingly she opened the door, like an excited child. She gasped, I might have a bruise on my face. I didn't expect the bunk ceiling to be that close. It looked cool though. I actually looked like I got in a fight. It might have been with a ceiling but. That isn't the point.
  "Morning Demi." I said like nothing happened. It didn't actually hurt.
  "Morning Emily, wanna tell me how you got the bruise." Dang it. I thought she would look past it. I looked down and nodded my head no. She sighed and pulled me into the house. It actually smelled like she cooked and didn't kill another pan. It was eggs. If only I hadn't eaten I would actually eat some. We went to the kitchen. I saw my babies still on the top shelf, untouched yay. We sat down she gave me a plate.
  "I already ate Demi." I said smiling.
  "What did you eat, and where?" She asked confused.
  "I ate at the headquarters and had an omelet and toast." She nodded. I actually only ate toast. I wasn't going to tell her that though, lying is a skill that comes with the job.
  She put it in a container for later. I kind of hoped I wouldn't have to eat it later.
  "How did you get that bruise?" She asked, I hoped she wouldn't ask but she did. Do I tell her I slept at headquarters, no.
  "On my mission I accidently hit my head." It wasn't too far from the truth was it? Oh no she's staring at me like she knows my secrets. This is it.
  "On what?" I'll say I was training.
  "I hit my head on another guys head when I was training." I said simply. It sounded believable. She looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
  "Why were you training on a mission." Why is it so hard to make up these excuses. She really has like a knack for it or something.
  "Before I went I had extra time." I said easily. That one was good. Oh wait that meant. I made a mistake.
  "Why did you have extra time." I told you I made a mistake.
  "I had to wait for my new I.D. for the mission." Actually they have I.D.s for missions they don't make new ones. She didn't know that though."How was your trip?" I asked attempting to change the subject.
  "How did you know I went on a trip, I didn't tell you I did." Why is lying so hard with this woman?
Should I just tell her. I mean she knows I'm an agent. But this could mean I could loose my job. I did what I do. I ran. I ran to the headquarters, leaving Demi standing there shocked. I opened the door quickly not slowing down. I went to the Boss's office. I knocked on the door.
   "Wait, I have someone." Came his voice, I didn't have time for this, but he is my superior. Finally a black haired lady comes out bright blue eyes contrast with her pale skin. I walk in quickly. He looks up at me.
  "Good morning Agent 231." He says calmly.
  "Sir." I respectively nod at him. "Can I tell Demi, please." I practically begged without sitting. He didn't look up at me.
  "Agent 231, tell Demi what?" He asked without emotion.
  "That I was Lilly." I said angrily. "She's suspicious." I said calmer than before.
  "Agent, if you weren't so high it would be a definite no. Maybe a suspension, but I'll make an exception. I don't want Demi to know where headquarters are though. You can tell her you were Lilly." He said calmly still not looking up at me. I left quickly not saying another word. I ran all the way back. The door was still open. I closed the door, locked it also. Demi really needs to lock her doors more.
  I found Demi just sitting eating her eggs. Still shocked about the earlier events.
  "I was Lilly!" I screamed. I didn't realise I was being so quiet coming in, that was also louder than I thought. Demi jumped and turned to stare at me.
  "What?!?" Demi almost screamed at me. I nod awkwardly. It is quite weird, finding out your body guard was actually your daughter.
  "Yeah, I ate granola bars for every meal, didn't eat the pizza I spent 20 bucks on. That was me." I said explaining. She was very confused. I mean I was too when I spend 20 bucks on a pizza but couldn't eat it.
  "Prove it." She said challenging me. What is the best way, I'm going to become Lilly.
  "I'll be right back." I leave alot don't I?
