  I woke up when Demi turned off the T.V. I got up quickly hopping to my crutches. I was walking towards the stairs when I heard footsteps behind me. They were Demi's. I turned around. There Demi was with a slight smile on her face. I put my crutches under my left arm and using my strong leg and arm to get up the stairs. Demi's room was closer so I decided to stop in their and sleep. Demi wasn't behind me. I heard her walk to my room passing hers. I decided to just fall asleep it would take her a minute. I fell asleep until I heard Demi come through the door, her footsteps lighter than normal. She got into her bed facing me. I opened my eyes looking at her. I smiled at her. She smiled back.
  I scooted towards her. I hid my face into the bed. She chuckled. She wrapped her arms around me. Sometimes I don't know why we have different rooms everytime we're both home we sleep together. It's kinda weird. I wonder what would happen if I slept in my bed alone. I will tomorrow night. She pulled me closer to her. I could smell the vanilla she always smells like.
  I wake up later than normal, 8:00. Demi is still sleeping like a rock. I get out of beds trying not to face plant. The sheets tangled on my ankle I almost fell, but I caught myself. I quickly got up. I walked into my room I quickly changed into some running tights and a sports bra. I put on some tennies and grabbed my keys. I locked the door on my way out. I ran a 13 miles. I got back around 9:00. Demi was awake, in hysterics looking for something. I walked into my room and changed. I came downstairs, still a little sweaty. Demi looked at me. Relief flashed across her face. She hugged me.
  "Where were you?" She whispered.
  "Running." I said with a chuckle. I stepped back. I headed into the kitchen. I was hungry for some food. I quickly made some eggs as Demi watched.
  "How'd you sleep?" I asked Demi while flipping her eggs.
  "Great." She said enthusiastically. "What about you?"
  "Good." I said with a smile even though she couldn't see my face. I put the eggs on two plates. I gave her hers and sat down at the breakfast bar. I grabbed my phones out of m pocket. I played Temple Run 2 for a while, then after I finished my breakfast I cleaned my plate. I crutched out of the kitchen to go shower.
  "Where are you going?" Demi said with some alarm in her voice.
  "To shower." I said laughing.
  "Oh." She said with relief evident in her voice. I left my phones on the counter. I quickly showered, after putting a bag on my cast thing. I took the bag off and changed into a large shirt and some sweats. I quickly went downstairs. Demi was sitting there.
  "Your phone went off, I didn't answer it." Demi said looking through instagram.
  "Okay, thanks." I said quickly grabbing my phones. It was from Allie. I cursed under my breath. Demi glared at me.
  "Sorry." I whispered loud enough so she could hear it. I took my phone into the living room, calling Allie back.
  "What's up A?" I asked.
  "Nothing Bunny, just wanted to tell you that you have to go on a tour with a celeb next month. Until then you get a break after our next mission." She said, I could hear her smile through the phone.
  "Okay, thanks A. Love you, bye." I said smiling.
  "Bye Bunny love you." Allie says back. I walk into the kitchen. Demi was still on her phone, but quirked an eyebrow at me when I entered.
  "After my next mission I have the next month off. Then I will leave for a few months, but I will visit." I said smiling. She was smiling until I told her about me leaving for a few months.
  "Nice baby, I work for a week and then my album is released so I get a break with a few interviews, then I go on tour with Fifth Harmony.(A/N I know this isn't in the same time but I don't know the other people she went on your with very well.)" She said giving me the information. I smiled, I got to listen to a few songs she was putting on her album and they were amazing.
  "Congratz, Demi." I smiled hugging her. She returned the motion.
  "Do you know when you will be visiting?" She asked. I shook my head.
  "I won't know until I get a breifing then I will tell you." I said. She nodded.
  "Wanna go shopping?" She asked.
  "Sure, one minute I have to get ready." I quickly crutched upstairs and changed into some dark jeans and a shirt that said 'Boss'. I put on some black converse on. I grabbed my walled sticking it in my pocket. I got a notification that I can take my boot off so I went downstairs and sat on the couch taking off my shoes. I rolled my pant leg off, as Demi was walking in. She was wearing some black jeans, boots, and a sweatshirt. I pressed the button to take the boot off. She gasped and ran over.
  "You can't just take a boot off, are you nuts?" She screamed. I just laughed at her. She stared at me weirdly. I just rolled my pants down ad put my shoes back on standing up she gasped.
  "Ready to go Dems?" I asked laughing. She stared at me leg, like it would rebreak and I would fall to the floor. She nodded and grabbed her purse and keys. She walked to the garage still keeping an eye on my leg. We got in. She started the car. One of her songs came on. She smiled and started yelling her lyrics at the top of her lungs. I joined laughing as she drove down the road to the mall. Demi had already called Max and he was waiting for us. I smiled at him. I was almost friends with him having worked with him a few times. He opened Demi's door and attempted to open mine but I glared at him. Demi chuckled at our interaction.
  "I told you Maxi, I will not be treated like a little girl." I said using his nickname I gave him when I just started. He shook his head at his nickname and just nodded. I held his hand and smiled at him, skipping as he walked normally trying to keep a professional look. Demi was laughing by now, as I help her bodyguard's hand and skipped. She walked behind us. She took a picture. Me and Max both turned around quickly and short her glares.
  "I won't post it." She almost yelled as we started walking towards us, her backing up slowly. We nodded each other as he held her as I grabbed her phone and deleted the picture. I nodded at him and gave Demi back her phone, she huffed and muttered a few words I couldn't hear. Max and I continued walking as Demi followed us her head down.
  "Dems, are you jealous that Maxi and I are besties." I looked back at her. Max furrowed his eyebrows at his nickname and that we were 'besties'. She nodded, chuckling. I held out my arm and she linked her arm with mine. We were skipping until we got to the entrance, Max trailing behind us,trying to act like he didn't know us.
  "Maxi hurry up. Wouldn't want a repeat of training." I said with a smile as he glared at me while Demi looked confused. He hurried. He huffed at me, and walked beside Demi. Demi furrowed her eyebrows trying to figure out.
  "Stop that, hon, you'll get wrinkles." I said with a southern accent. Demi looked at me weirdly.
  "I'm being judged and I don't appreciate it!" I yelled. Demi shushed me and pulled me into H&M. We tried a few things. I got a pair of jeans and a jacket. Demi got 2 shirts and jacket to match mine. Max walked behind us as we walked towards the cashier. Demi tried to take mine but I smacked her hand. Max chuckled.
  "Here we got again." He said. Demi tried to take them again but I turned around and ran to the other cashier. He looked at me confused while Demi tried to take them. The two cashiers looked as us oddly, as Max watched with amusement. I ran to the other giving the cashier the items. Demi tried to give her the money for them but I smacked her hand lightly giving her my credit card. Demi tried to take it but I grabbed her hands. The lady quickly ran it up, looking at us weirdly.
  Demi gave up and just paid for hers. Max chuckled. Demi shot him a glare. Max said something about us being stubborn as we walked out.
  "You go that right. Remember when El tried to do that." I laughed at Max. Demi furrowed her brows again.
  "Your going to get wrinkles, I told you Dems." I said to Demi sighing at the end for effect. I put my arm around Max.
  "The good ole days, right Maxi." I laughed as I pocked him in the side. We finished shopping and Demi still attempted to pay everytime.
  "I need to go to an ATM." I said. Max nodded and took us to the closest one. He was always the navigator in our group. Demi followed as we came to an ATM. I put my card in then put in my pin. 1,274,983. I stuck my other one in, 2,364,850. I got my paycheck to the wrong card, I though I told them to switch the accounts. I took $300. Demi looked like she thought I was poor. Max just led us back to the car, past the paparazzi that had gathered. We got back in the car. I hugged Max.
  "Bye Maxi I luv you." I said with a childish smile.
  "Love you too, Liz-burn." He got out and walked to his car. Demi looked like she had never seen Max been hugged.
  "Do you guys know each other?" Demi asked confused as she started the car.
  "Yeah we go back." I smiled, we were like siblings. He always got a better score in math and I was better at everything else. He helped me with math, and I helped him train.
  "How far?" She asked.
  "We were in training together, we were like siblings." I said with a smile. Demi nodded.
  "Who's El." I frowned. I shook my head.
  "I don't want to talk about her." She, Max, and I shared a dorm. We were like a family, until she jumped. It was too hard for her, she was the sunshine in the group. We never suspected anything. Me and Max were outside looking for her when we found her body. We don't talk about that day.
  Demi nodded and squeezed my hand reassuringly. I smiled at her. I got a call I answered without looking at the contact.
  "We are coming."
