Chapter 16
Demi's P.O.V.
Today I had to meet up with Managment. They wanted to talk to me in private and to tell you the truth, that made me nervous. I'm quite interested to see what they will tell me though. I hope it's gonna be good, but something tells me it will be the contrary.
I was now standing in front of the building and I started to become really nervous. What if they tell me that I'm not a good actress and that they want me to quit? Oh no, I wouldn't want that! It has always been my dream to be an actress or singer. Oh boy. I took a deep breath and went inside the building. I then started searching for the right office, since nobody was in the reception, when I finally found it. I knocked on the door and when I heard a 'Come in' I opened it and stepped inside. There I saw Mr. Roberts, who is the main guy in the Managment buisness.
" Goodmorning " I said with a smile, even though his face scared me to death.
" Goodmorning, Miss Stewart. Please, have a seat. " He said politely and I nodded taking a seat on a chair beside his desk. It was quiet for a while, when I couldn't take the silence anymore.
" So.. What's going on? Why did you call me? "
" Look, Demi, what we're about to tell you is serious and you have to act seriously. " He said. That was going to be hard, because the only things I'm good at is being really happy or really sad. I nodded anyway, and told him to go on. "Okay. Well, Managment and I, talked about you, Ross and Harry and we think that this isn't right. " What the heck are they talking about? It isn't right?
" What do you mean? What 'isn't right'? " I said air-quoting isn't right.
" You have to break up with Ross and make up with Harry. That's not a choice. It's an order. " He said seriously and my mouth was hung open.
BREAK UP WITH ROSS AND MAKE UP WITH HARRY?!?! I don't want Harry to be my boyfriend and I don't want Ross to be my ex! He's gonna be so mad and dissapointed! I just can't imagine the hurt face he's gonna make when I tell him the news.. Things were going great! Why does Managment have to ruin everything?! Urgg!
" THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'M BREAKING UP WITH ROSS! " I yelled, really mad. The guy in front of me was smirking. An evil smirk. Who wouldn't hate him, really?
" Oh Demi. Poor little Demi. It's for your own good. For your image, for your fans and of course, fame. Ross mustn't know the reason you broke up with him and don't worry. We'll find another famous pretier girl for him. " He shrugged.
That broke my heart. They will find another prettier girl? I thought that I was the prettiest girl in Ross' life. I can't imagine Ross being with another girl. When I saw him kissing Christina, it broke my heart. Imagine how it's going to be when he will have another girlfriend that isn't me. As selfish as that sounds, it's true. I want him to be mine. And only mine. I loved him too much.
I could feel the tears forming in my eyes, but I didn't let them fall. I had to stay strong. For Ross and I. " I SAID NO! I'M NOT DOING IT OKAY? Why can't you just let us leave our lives together? " I said whispering in the end. I don't think he herd it though. He only heard me screaming. I felt a tear falling and I quickly wiped it away, not wanting them to see my weak side.
" Please calm down, miss Demi! There is no choice. If you won't it, then Ross' carreer will be destroyed, as well as Harry's, Cameron's and Stefanie's. " He said smirking evilly.
I couldn't help but a tear to fall. I have to pretend to be in love with my best friend, for my friend's and my boyfriend's carreer. I suppose I shouldn't call him my boyfriend anymore..
" Fine. I- I'll do it. " I said and let my tears fall.
" Good. Now, you have 2 hours to break up with Ross and remember, this meeting and this conversation, never happened. " He said and shooed me away.
I ran. Away from the building that ruined my life. I ran and started heading nowhere. I didn't know where I was going. I stopped, when I had to catch my breath. I sat on huge rock and started crying.
Why is this my life? Why is this all happening to me? What have I ever done to deserve all this? I had to figure out a way to tell Ross that I want to break up with him. Well, I don't want to, but that's what I'm supposed to tell him. Why are people so mean? All they think about is money, fame and image. People's feelings? Absolutely not. 'Feelings' does not exist in their vocabulary. I hate them so much, right now.
Anyway I have to do it. For my friend's carreers. I took a deep breath, and started walking to Ross' house. I can't love whoever I want. I have to have the approval of managment now. It's like I'm stuck. All I have to do is obey the rules and not do whatever I want to.
I was now in front of his house. I rang the bell, and I started thinking of how to tell him that I want to break up with him. This is going to be hard.. The door opened and there stood my handsome soon-to-be-my-ex boyfriend. He told me to come in and that's what I did. We sat on his couch, in silence.
" Would you like to drink or eat anything? " He asked. I shook my head.
" No, thanks, but we have to talk. " His smile faded. He nodded his head. He seemed worried and I don't really blame him.
" Okay.. What about? What's going on? " He asked, worry clear in his voice. I sighed deeply. I hate that I have to do this.
" Okay, umm.. Ross, I think that we should take a break from each other. " I said and closed my eyes, looking away. I couldn't bare to see his expression. It's going to be hurt, disappointed and most of all confused.
I heard laughing. He was laughing. I don't find this funn- Oh my god. He thinks that I'm kidding. That makes me feel even more guilty! " Haha. Yeah good one, Dems. " He said, but when he saw that I wasn't kidding he had a confused expression. " You weren't kidding? " He asked and I shook my head. " What? "
" Look Ross. It's not you, it's me. You are too good for me and you don't deserve me. I'm sure you'll find another girl that is better than me. " I said and every word that left my mouth, was like someone stabbing me with knives in my heart. It was a terrible feeling, but I'm doing this.
For him.
Ross had a hurt expression and I think that I saw tears forming in his eyes. " Why are you doing this? Demi, no. I don't want another girl! You are the greatest person I could ever ask for! The feeling I get whenever I'm near you is insane, but I love it! When we first broke up, I couldn't stand it! I couldn't stand just not being near you, I couldn't stand not kissing you, I couldn't stand not having you. Please Demi, don't do this! I-I... I love you, Dem. " Tears were now falling from his and my eyes. Nobody has ever said that to me before and now, it makes it even more difficult to do this. I can't break up with him! But I have to. His job is what makes him happy. Music is what matters most to him and I want him to be happy. Even if it means that I won't be.
He kissed me, but this time. I didn't kiss back. I felt his tears running through his cheek, now going to mine. " Please kiss me back, Dem. Please. " He whispered through the kiss. A tear fell, but I still didn't kiss him back. This would probably be the last time that I would feel his lips on mine. Just thinking that makes my heart break. I gently pushed him away from me and I saw his face. It was hurt, sad and broken. I knew this would happen and I hate it.
" I'm really sorry, Ross, I am. But don't make this harder than it already is. " I said and got up from the couch, but I couldn't go any further. He grabbed my hand and pulled me on his lap.
" Why are you doing this? I know that you still love me. " He said and I cried on his shoulder. His t-shirt was now wet, but didn't care. When he didn't hear me answer, just me crying, he pulled away and looked at me straight in the eyes. I had to act. " D-Demi? " I just shook my head. And got up.
" I'll never stop. " And with that I left.
