'You okay?' Joe asks as he watches Demi glance down at her dessert in front of her.
'I feel really sick.' She admits.
'You don't have to eat it. Do you want me to take you home?' He asks and she shakes her head.
'No, finish your cake.' She replies quietly. He glances over at Danielle who's smiling at them both while Kevin stares down at his phone; he really thought if Kevin seen he was serious about Demi he'd forget his issues but it seems that hasn't worked.
'Just let me know when you want to leave.' He says and she nods her head.
'I'm just going to the bathroom.' She replies pushing herself into a standing position before turning to make her way to the bathroom.
'I'll go make sure she's okay.' Danielle says picking up the concerned look on Joe's face as his eyes follow Demi until she enters the bathroom.
'Thanks.' Joe replies quietly.

'Demi?' Danielle says as she makes her way into the bathroom.
'I'm fine.' Demi replies, her voice sounding shaky as Danielle makes her way towards the cubicle.
'Are you sure? Even I could tell out there you weren't feeling good.' Danielle says smiling as she hears the lock click and the cubicle or begins to open.
'I'm okay.' Demi replies quietly.
'Joe's worries about you.' Danielle says causing Demi to sigh.
'I don't want to do this again.' Demi mumbles leaning against the sink.
'Do what?' Danielle asks moving closer to her.
'Always be the sick one in the relationship. Wilmer constantly walked on eggshells around me, he watched my every move because all he'd ever known was sick me. Do you know how hard it is to make a relationship work when someone's constantly watching for signs that you've relapsed? Not that I blame him in the slightest for that because there were times that I did and he was the one who got me back on track, it was all he knew... I just don't want it to be like that with Joe.' Demi explains shaking her head sadly.
'That's not what I meant when I said he's worried... You're really pale and even I can tell you've not been yourself.' Danielle says.
'Kevin hates Joe and I being together.' Demi says quietly and Danielle shakes her head.
'He doesn't, Demi. I spoke to him on the way home today and he's scared for both of you. He's watched everything you've been through and although the pair of you aren't that close you're like the little sister he never had; he doesn't want you to get hurt again and he's worried that's going to happen.' Danielle replies.
'This was never supposed to be something serious.' Demi says before sighing as she glances down at the sink.
'I-I think I'm pregnant.' She adds.
'Oh Demi... There are worse things than a baby.' Danielle says and Demi shakes her head.
'If I'm pregnant then we actually need to decide whether we want this to be serious or not which means I need to admit that I am falling for him which means I need to eventually let my guard down... ' Demi replies.
