She's a Superstar

I Choose You

Jordan's POV
It's been two days since the kiss that Demi and I had shared in the back of the bus and I haven't told Nicky anything about it. I feel so guilty now every time she's kissed me or tried to hold my hand. For these past few days I'd do the show and then shut myself up in my bunk. "Jordan?" I hear a voice say I pulled the curtain opened and my heart sank when I saw those ocean blue eyes. "We need to talk." She says as she went into the back room. Those words are never good. I walked into the backroom and here I was sitting in the same spot I sat in when Demi and I kissed. "What's up with you lately Princess? I feel like you've been distant." Nicky says grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers. I felt so bad for not feeling anything. The butterflies weren't there. My heart wasn't racing. I love her but I don't love her the way I used to. It was time to tell her the truth. I took a deep breath and looked into those blue eyes that I fell in love with the first day we meet. "Nicky I'm so sorry." I sobbed out I couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my face. She sat closer to me and pulled me into her chest. "Shhhh It's okay Princess." She says kissing my forehead. "No it's not!" I shouted into her chest through my sobs. She continued to soothe me until I had calmed down enough to speak. "What's wrong Princess?" She asked I sighed "Don't hate me." I say wincing as she continued to play with my hair. "I could never hate you Jordan. I know you've been hiding something from me. Just tell me." She says calmly. So I took a deep breath and spoke again "I kissed Demi." "You what?" She asked as I got out of her grip. "Well she kissed me but I kissed back. And I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't feel anything." She sat there in shock probably not being able to comprehend anything that I was saying. "Nicky I totally understand if you want to go back to LA hell you're brother might kill me but-" she cut me off by placing her lips on mine and something in my gut told me that this was probably the last kiss that I would share with Nicky. We pulled back gasping for air. "Stop Jordan. It's my turn to be honest." She says I nodded as I looked at her. "Jordan I'm gonna be honest. These past few months I haven't been really feeling anything. I mean I love you I really do. But not as a girlfriend. I love you like a sister. And the more I realized this the more I realized that I would have to break your heart sooner or later. Jordan I loved the time I spent with you these past 5 months have been amazing but I think we should just go back to being friends. If you think about it Demi actually did me a favor." She says finishing as I chuckled and looked at the ring on my finger and played with it until it finally came off. "I guess it's time to give this back then." I say handing her the ring. She shakes her head as she slides it back onto my index finger. "No, I gave this to you as a promise ring do you remember what I promised?" She asks I nodded "You promised to always be in my life no matter what." I say as she nodded and smiled "And I plan on keeping that promise Princess. Hope it's okay that I still call you that." I smiled at the nickname "As long as I still get to call you Rockstar." She chuckled and nodded. I grabbed the ring that I was going to give her for our six months but seeing as that isn't gonna happen might as well give it to her now. "I promise too." I say sliding the ring onto her index finger. "It's made out of one of your broken guitar strings and I had the pick custom made." She smiled as I saw a tear drop from her eye. I wiped It away not letting it fall. "I love it Jordan." She says as I smile sadly she turns and pulls me into a tight hug and I hug her back. "Until Forever?" She asks as I smiled "Until Forever." I say "Friends?" I felt her smile "Friends." She says we stayed there for what felt an hour when it was probably only 5 minutes. We pulled apart and she smiled "So you and Demi huh?" I rolled my eyes but I couldn't help but smile when I thought about Demi. "Shut up!" I say playfully pushed her as she laughed. This was probably the easiest break up I've ever had. "Seriously though. Do you think there's something there?" She asks i thought about it but there wasn't much to think about. "In all honesty I think there is. I mean I can't help but feel like it was destiny that we crossed paths. I've never felt so deeply about someone I mean it's the little things that I love about her. Like the face she makes when she's deep in thought or the way her eyes light up anytime anyone mentions something she's passionate about or the way her lips curve into a smile ugh! Oh my god Nicky!" I say falling back onto the couch "whoa you shouldn't be moaning my name anymore babe." Nicky says jokingly as I laugh "Nicky this is serious! What should i do?" She looks at me and smiles "What?" I ask "I just came up with the perfect idea." She says a smile on her face as she continues to tell me her idea. "Oh my god! Nicky you're a genius!" I say smiling widely at her idea. "I know! You can thank me later when Demi and you finally hook up. Now come on we gotta tell the guys the news." Nicky says as I laugh. The guys took our break up surprisingly well. I though for sure they'd at least give me a lecture about kissing Demi before Nicky and I were officially broken up but instead Chris just slipped Matt a ten dollar bill. "You guys bet on our relationship?" Nicky asks raising an eyebrow at them. "No we bet on whether or not Demi and Jordan would get together." Chris explains "I'm a Jemi shipper." Matt admits as I furrowed my eyebrows at him. "Isn't that Joe and Demi's ship name?" I ask "Yeah but that ship sank faster than the Titanic." He says making me laugh. "So are you guys going to announce it to the fans?" Chris asks "Oh yeah I guess we should do that." I say as I pull out my phone and start writing a note to our fans about the break up. I left it vague not mentioning the kiss and I said that we both were just fine being friends. I let Nicky look over and she nodded in approval as I sent the screenshot out to all of my social media. Nicky had done the same with hers. "Okay so you guys are officially broken up What now?" Matt asks "Now im out of the band. See ya guys!" Nicky says as I roll my eyes "She's kidding!" As we all laugh "No now we get Demi and Jordan together." Nicky says as she explains the plan to the guys "oh my god! That's perfect!" Chris says "Just how I envisioned it happening." Matt says "Guys You ready for Soundcheck?" I hear Demi say as my heart skips a beat when I see approaching us. I quickly do my best to look as calm and collected as possible. "Of course we are. Come on guys!" I say trying not to stutter. As Nicky and the guys stifle their laughter. We head backstage and as I'm getting my ear ins out of their case I hear the guys and Nicky laugh. "Dude you looked like a lost little puppy out there!" Chris says "I'm surprised you didn't confess you're undying love for her right there and then." Matt says laughing "Oh my god! Could you imagine? Demi i love so much kiss me!" Nicky says laughing as I roll my eyes "Alright that's enough." I say chuckling "Come on Princess you make it too easy to make fun of you." Nicky says as I roll my eyes my eyes at her. "Alright let's go out there and have a good Soundcheck." I say as we head on stage and the cheers erupt. We had a pretty good soundcheck I even changed a lyric in Rhythm of Love. Instead singing "She's got blue eyes deep like the sea." I sang "She's got Brown eyes deep like um chocolate?" And the audience laughed. "Deep like chocolate thats the best you could come up with?" Nicky says laughing "What else is brown that is also deep!" I say "I don't think you wanna know" she says still laughing as I roll my eyes. Once it was show time I saw Demi looking pretty down. "Hey Dems are you okay?" I ask "Yeah I just broke up with Marissa." She says "Oh shit sorry Demi." I say as she smiles sadly at me. "How's Nicky taking it?" Demi asks looking at Nicky tuning her guitar. "She's okay." I answer as she nods. "How's Marissa?" I ask her as she chuckles "She's pissed but we'll get through it." I nodded knowing that their friendship is strong. "Hey Jordan! Hurry up!" I hear Chris yell I see Demi still looking a little down. "Hey pay attention to the show okay?" I say she smiles "Always Kid." I smile as we joined the crew for a prayer circle and then Nicky,the boys and I did our traditional 10 push-ups to see who would run out first. We started this a few shows ago because Chris had challenged us. So now whoever finishes their push ups first gets to run out first. "Done!" I say getting up as my band mates groan. "Alright everyone know the plan?" Nicky asks as we all nodded "Alright operation Jemi is a go." I pull out my phone to send out a quick tweet.
@JordanTheKid: Look out for our prank tonight Atlanta😉😝
That's a distraction for the fans. The plan is to bring out Demi and dedicate The Only Exception to her so that the audience will think it's a prank that we're pulling on Demi. Because it'd be a little scandalous if Demi and I were to start dating the day Nicky and I broke up. So after the show is over I'm going to pull Demi aside and tell her that I chose her. The lights went down and that was our cue to run on stage so I ran out and I heard the audience cheer and I couldn't help but feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins. Soon the lights were back up and I heard Nicky play the intro of La La Land and then I began the show.
End of Show
"So tonight we have something special planned for you guys." I say into the mic as I look side stage and smirk at Demi. "Demi why don't you come on out here?" I say as she looks confused but I lead her over to the chair that one of the stage crew set up for her. "Well Demi since you've been such an awesome manager we decided to Serenade you with a little something special." I say winking at her as she blushes. I look at Nicky and nod at her as she and the guys start the song.
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind. He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it. And my momma swore that she would never let herself forget. And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if does not exist. But Darling you are the only exception You are the only exception. you are the only exception.
As the music continued I laughed as the slideshow of us being dorks played. I pointed to the screen as it showed The prank we pulled on Demi last week where we had put hot sauce in her protein shake. She looked so cute when she pouted. I looked over at Demi and smiled as the corners of her mouth rose when the clip ended she turned back to me and looked at me with those chocolate brown eyes that I couldn't resist.
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts. And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face. And I've always lived like this. Keeping it comfortable. Distance. And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness. Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
As I sang the chorus I kept looking at Demi and smiled and she smiled back and her smile sent butterflies into my stomach. I reached over to her to grab her hand and she locked our fingers together and I felt an electric shock run up my arm and to my heart. My whole world was spinning and in that moment I felt the most alive I've ever felt in my life.
I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't let go of what's in front of me here. I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up. Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
Once I heard Nicky's acoustic guitar start I took a deep breath and looked into Demi's eyes again.
You are the only exception
As I kept singing that line I made a gesture with my head for her to look at the screen and on the screen were going to be some pictures of Her and I from Senior Year. And I saw tears coming out of her eyes.
And I'm on my way to believing.
I smiled as Demi stood up to hug me and she pulled me into this tight bear hug. I heard the audience cheer and although that was a surprise it wasn't necessarily a prank. We thanked the crowd for coming out and then we all ran backstage. I ran to my dressing room,took a quick shower and changed into something a bit more comfortable. I was gathering my stuff getting ready to leave when I heard a knock on my door. "Come in!" I say as the person opens the door. I turn to meet chocolate brown eyes. "Hey Demi." I greeted her "Hey so I think we should talk about what happened the other day." She says "Alright." I say sitting on the couch gesturing for her to sit down. "Okay well um this is awkward huh?" She says getting a chuckle out of me. "That's something I've always liked about you Demi. You could make awkward situations less awkward." I say with a smile "Yeah well I could tell you a million things I've always liked about you Jordan." She says smiling I smirked "Like?" She laughs "Like the way your eyes light up when you're super happy about something. The way you scrunch up your nose when you smell anything that smells like shit. The way you never have a filter when it comes to things you're passionate about and speak out about things that are important to you. Jordan I don't care if this is weird to say right now but I love you and you-" I cut her off by kissing her and she reciprocated by kissing back. That kiss wasn't anything like the kiss at the park,or at Prom or in the back of the bus. This kiss made me feel something indescribable. It was like I was missing something in my life and I finally found it. We pulled back gasping for air and I smiled. "All this time I've been looking for someone to make me feel complete. And she was right in front of me this whole time." I say as I hear her chuckle and kiss my lips again. "So what does this mean?" She asks already knowing the answer probably but wanting me to say it. "I choose you Demi." I say smiling as I watch her eyes light up at my words she leans in to kiss me again and this time we don't hold back. We walked out of the dressing room hand in hand as I hear whistling we turn to see my band mates smirking at us. "So?" Nicky asks looking at me I give her a thumbs up as she smiles. "Atta girl!" She cheers as I laugh "Yasssss Jemi is real!!!" Matt says "Jemi? That's our ship name Seriously." Demi says laughing as we all start heading to the bus. "It was either that or Derdon." Chase says "Yeah I think Jemi is the better choice here." I say chuckling as Demi kisses my cheek. "Okay Jemi it is. Hope you don't mind that I stole your girl Nicky." She says "Nah it's cool. As long as I still get call her Princess." Nicky says as we chuckle "Yeah it's cool I'll just have to come up with my own nickname for her." Demi says "You already have one Dems." I say "I'm your kid." "Yeah but if I keep calling you that it's gonna sound like I'm your mom." She says as I laugh "And we wouldn't want that now would we?" I shake my head as we climb on the bus. "So are we going to wait before going public?" I ask Demi as we all sit in the front room. "Yeah because I don't want it this whole story." She says I nodded understanding as I snuggled up to her she wrapped an arm around me and kissed my forehead. If you would've told me that Demi and I would be dating two years after being friends I would have looked at you like you were crazy. I mean I will admit that I did have feelings for her back when I was 17 but then that would've landed her ass back in jail and I didn't want to ruin her chances of getting her freedom back so I pushed those feelings down and it's like suddenly those feelings are rushing back to me. I smiled as I looked around the room and in this moment i couldn't be more content in life. "Demi?" I ask as she looks down at me. I was now laying in her lap as she play mindlessly with my hair. "Hmm?" She hummed in response. "I love you too." I say responding to when she said it in the dressing room. She smiled and leaned down to kiss me. Feeling her soft lips move in sync was better than any drug or alcoholic beverage that I've ever had. It made my heart race, it made time slow down, it made me feel alive. "Okay guys we get it you're in love and cute!" Matt says as we break apart and laugh. "Relax babe they're in the honeymoon stage." Chris says kissing his boyfriend. And it's true we were in the honeymoon stage. And we were going to enjoy every second of it.
A/N: Okay so Demi and Jordan finally got together!!! But with every relationship comes it's challenges and it looks like their first challenge is keeping their relationship private at least for a while. Will they get caught or will they be able to keep this private? Well I guess the only way to find out is to keep reading. Until next time guys. Love ya!
