'You okay?' Joe asks as Demi curls into his side.
'Why is everyone against us? They go on about thinking of me and just wanting me to be happy but don't they realise that they're making me unhappy?' She says quietly and he tightens his arms around her.
'We knew your dad wasn't going to be very happy, didn't we?' He replies causing her to sigh.
'I know but it just seems so unfair. For the first time in what feels like months I'm happy, really happy actually and they won't accept that it's all down to you.' She says.
'I can see it from both sides babe... Of course I would love it if they accepted us but at the same time there was a time years ago when I made you happy and look how that turned out? They're your parents, Dems. They've watched you go through hell, some of which I contributed to and no matter how much you say I didn't cause them we both know I didn't exactly help matters either by bringing her on tour.' He says.
'Exactly, they've watched me go through hell so they should know how much stronger I am.' She replies and he nods his head.
'Maybe your dad just needs a few days to get used to the idea again and for me to prove that I have no intentions of hurting you.' He says.
'Maybe... How do you think your parents will react?' She asks and he shrugs his shoulders.
'My parents love you. They'll be absolutely fine. Nick is pretty protective over you though.' He says and she nods her head.
'Maybe I shouldn't come to New York.' She says quietly.
'If that's what you want.' He replies glancing down at her.
'Well what do we have here?' A voice asks and they both turn around.
'Nick...' Demi says instantly moving away from Joe.
'We can explain.' Joe adds and Nick shakes his head.
'You don't have to explain to me. I've been waiting for you two to get together for weeks!' Nick says.
'W-What?' Demi asks.
'I knew you two would end up back in together at some point.' Nick replies making his way into the house.
'You're not against this?' Demi asks and Nick shakes his head.
'Why would I be against it? I think you're old enough to be making your own decisions about your love life.' Nick replies sitting down on the sofa beside Demi.
'Everyone else is against it.' She says quietly.
'Everyone like who?' He asks.
'My parents, Kevin... Mike is sort of coming round to the idea but he was against it at first as well.' She replies.
'That's understandable... You're parents were never going to be happy about you getting back together, no offence Joe.' Nick says as Demi slides closer to Joe.
'I must admit, this is pretty strange...' Nick says as Demi leans into Joe and he wraps his arm around her causing them both to smile.

'I'm going to leave you two to do whatever it was you two were doing... Demi, don't let other people get in your head. If you want to go to New York with Joe then go. Let your parents see that you're happy.' Nick says standing up as Demi glances up at him.
'You don't have to go, Nick. Stay for dinner?' Demi suggests and he shakes his head.
'I've got a date...' He replies causing her to smile.
'Oh. With who?' She asks as Joe kisses the top of her head.
'Umm... Just someone I've been seeing.' Nick replies smiling.
'Oh do we get to know her name?' Demi asks and Nick shakes his head.
'Not yet... Soon, though.' He replies smiling.
'Have fun.' Demi says leaning forward and hugging him.
'Don't do anything I wouldn't do.' Joe adds and Nick smiles.
'That's not much then is it? I'll see you two later.' Nick says before leaving the house.
'Well he took that well.' Joe says as Demi rests her head back against his chest.
'He did... He's right, you know. I shouldn't let other people's opinion affect this. I will come to New York, when do we leave?' She asks causing him to smile.
'In a few days.' He replies and she nods her head.
'Okay.' She says.
Bit of a short chapter but I just wanted to get Nick finding out about the relationship out of the way before all the actual drama starts happening!
On a side note; is there anyone you'd like to see Nick dating in this fic and my other one because I can't think of anyone?
