Demi
"Hey Demi!" I smiled as Marissa and Kelsey walked into the backyard.
"Hey guys! You made it!"
"Of course we did!" Marissa laughed, pulling me into a hug. "I couldn't not come to my niece's first birthday party!"
"Hey!" Kelsey hit Marissa's shoulder. "I'm her godmother!"
"Kelsey." I laughed. "We're not catholic."
"Whatever." She waved her hand and hugged me. "Where is the leading lady by the way?"
"She's inside with Maddie. She's very content with ripping up wrapping paper."
They both laughed and walked into the house.
"DEMI!" I was suddenly bombarded by hugs from Joe and Nick, both of them bright eyed and laughing.
"Hey guys! Thank you so much for coming!"
"We wouldn't miss it." Nick smiled, then punched Joe's shoulder when I saw his eyes were staring a little too long on my legs. "She's all taken Joe."
"I know I know." He smiled. "You look great Dems."
"Thank you." I gave him a warm smile as more people began to show up and soon everyone was laughing and having a good time.
"Hermosa."
The hairs on the back of my neck raised and I slowly turn to see Wilmer standing in the shade on the other side of the fence. He wore a simple suit, his sleeves pushed up.
"Wilmer?" I gasped, and walked over, shutting the fence behind me. "What the hell are you doing here?!"
"I came to ask you to pick me. I know you're with him Demi, but please, pick me. I'm dying without you. I miss you. I miss everything about us. I know I look like an idiot Demi, but I can't help it. I love you."
"Wilmer. You can't do this to yourself, or to me. I'm happy with Nicko."
"But you were happier with me, when things were good. Just come with me. We'll go to Bora Bora, we'll run away."
"I can't."
"Yes you can."
"Wilmer, I'm pregnant."
There was a pause. "WHAT?"
I flinched as he roared and the music turned off in the backyard. "Shh!"
"Demi?" The gate opened and Nicko walked out. "Are you oka-" He cut off when he saw Wilmer standing there, his jaw clenching. "You have three seconds to run."
"Nicko." I reached for his hand and rubbed his arm. "Don't do it. He's leaving."
But Wilmer showed no intention of leaving. His entire body shook with rage.
"So you went and got the bitch knocked up again, huh?"
Nicko's eyes were wild but his voice was surprisingly calm. "You need to go. Now."
"You know what Nicko? I don't think we've ever had our fair fight. You've got me off guard and I never really had the change to defend myself.
"Don't listen to him baby." I begged, tugging at him arm.
"Baby." Wilmer mocked. "Funny how she used to call me that. She used to moan that."
Nicko took a step and I grabbed his arm. "NICK! JOE!"
The two brothers ran out to where we were standing. Nick instantly tensed, knowing my history with Wilmer. Joe also looked ready to restrain Nicko.
