Demi’s POV
It’s already 3:43 am, and I’m still up. My eyes really hurt because I’ve been crying for hours. I’m in front of the mirror, looking at myself. What’s wrong with me?
It’s been a week since Wilmer and I broke up. I don’t know why I’m still crying over him. It wasn’t supposed to hurt, coz I already know that he’s a liar from the start.
FLASHBACK
Neon Lights tour is coming up, so the rehearsals are getting more intense as I expected. I came home late at 2 am. I removed my leather jacket and boots as I came in.
"Oh yes baby, that’s the way I like it."
I suddenly heard some unfamiliar voice. It sounds like it’s coming from our bedroom.
"Oh no, this is not good," I said to myself.
I opened the door, and I saw Wilmer with another woman, and they’re both naked. “No, no. This is not happening,” I said. I knelt on the floor, put my hands on my head, and I started to cry. Wilmer saw me, stood up, put on his clothes quickly, and comes to me.
"It’s not what you think, Demetria," he said.
"Oh, you mean my eyes are lying to me? Fuck off WIlmer! We are done! And don’t you ever call me that!"
I got out to get my car keys, boots and put back my jacket on. Wilmer is still following me.
"I’m sorry, mi amor. Please. Give me another chance. I will not fail you this time, I promise."
"Stop giving promises, WIlmer! You’re always breaking it. I’m done giving you chances! I had enough!
I got out of our house, get into my car, and drove as fast as I can. I ended up in some familiar place. I think it’s Selena’s old house.
Selena, yes. I have to call her. She can help me.
I dialed her number, I got more nervous as I hear it ringing.
"Hello?"
"Umm, is this Selena?"
"Yes, Demi?! Is that you?"
"Yeah, w-w-where are you?"
"I’m at the studio. Wait, are you crying? Where are you?"
"I’m in front of your old house, I think."
"What are you doing there? Wait, I’ll come and get you. Just wait there."
Selena’s POV
"Demi needs me. I need to leave, let’s continue this tomorrow," I said as I immediately get my purse and car keys. I drove towards our old house.
It’s been a long time since I saw Demi. I’m glad I’m seeing her again, but sad at the same time. I can’t stand the fact that she’s crying. It breaks my heart.
It’s been a short drive, so as my car stopped in front of our house, I already spotted her car.
I knocked on her car door, she got out fast and suddenly hugged me.
"Hey Dems, I miss you so much. Why are you crying? What’s wrong?
"It’s Wilmer, he cheated on me again."
"That asshole. Come on, leave your car here, we’ll get it tomorrow. Let’s go to me apartment and talk about it there."
"Umm, Sel? Can I also stay at your apartment? Just for this night?"
"Hey, you can stay there until forever," I said cupping her face.
"Really? Thanks."
"No need Dems, that’s what friends are for."
Friends. Really, Selena? Friends? You’re such a coward.
I helped her get into my car and I drove straight to my apartment.
It was a long drive, and she’s crying. I held her hand and said, “Everything’s gonna be okay.”
There were paps outside when we arrived outside my apartment.
"I’ll go out first," I said. I held her hand and went straight inside.
She was so quiet when we got into the elevator. I just noticed that she changed her hair color again. It’s pink this time. She looks grungy on that hair color, but she looks gorgeous as always.
"Hey, you okay?" She suddenly snapped out on me. She caught me ogling at her. God, this is so awkward.
"Yeah, yeah. it’s just your hair, it’s.."
"Oh, I changed it to pink. It’s for my tour actually."
"La La Land," i mumbled.
"What?"
"I just remember your pink wig on La La Land," i said laughing.
"Ooohhh. Yeah! That’s one of my first music videos."
I didn’t realize that we’re on my floor when the elevator door opened.
"Umm, we’re here now," I said reaching my hand out to her.
"Sorry, my apartment’s a mess," I said opening the door.
"Yeah, You’re really messy, and I expect that," she said laughing. I really miss hearing that laugh.
"You’re a messy one, too!!! Remember when I got into your bedroom when we’re just little kids? It’s like a storm just came in!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
We both sat on the couch laughing, then we suddenly got quiet.
"Dems, you know, I miss this."
"What?"
"Just us two, together, hanging out. Watching movies, playing games, dancing like crazy kids…"
"fangirling on Paramore, and the vlog!"
We looked at each other then I let out a big sigh.
"I’ll just get you something to wear, and food, I think," I said standing up, but she held my hand before I get away.
"Thank you, Selena. Really."
"No biggies. I’m always here for you."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Love you Sel."
"Love you too, Dems."
