Norman's pov
I went to madrid and barcelona after amsterdam and i already missed her. i knew she was gonna go back to belgium soon. i had an artshow in spain and filming ride. jeffrey joined me for the show and filming. i was glad i didnt have to go through this alone. i usually loved things like that but now i just felt aweful. cookie noticed me out of it. "hey man you okay?" i sighed. "i just wanna be somewhere else right now." he had compassion and pet me on the shoulder. "i know man. maybe you'll see her again someday." i shook my head. "she's got a kid and is a hard working woman but she doesnt have that kind of money to come and see me. i cant ask her to leave everything behind and join me and she cant ask it from me." he looked at me. "i think we both know she wont ever do that. she seemed like a genuine, kind lady." i nodded. "that's what makes it hard for me. i found the woman i wanna be with and i cant. how fucked up is that?" he sighed. "if she is really the one then you guys will find a way."

Demi's pov
I was back home for a couple of days now. I haddent heard from norman but he was probably busy with his artshow and filming. I didnt text him because i wasnt gonna disturb him. I was working on some stuff on the computer, when i got a message from one of my fb groups. My heart just stopped, when i opened it. It said that norman was spotted with another woman and it was diane. I sighed and shook my head. I knew he was seeing her and it looked like she didnt want anyone to see it was her. I should have known he wouldnt stick with a woman like me. It was fun while it lasted. They were never gonna take that away from me. I felt a sharp pain and i could sense that an attack was coming. I laid myself on the couch and just screamed into my pillow. This was a big one and it took longer for me to come back from it. My phone buzzed and i was still in my episode. I pushed the green button. 'Hey girl its blake. What you doing?' I pinched my eyes through the pain. 'Having an attack right now. Call you back.' 'Demi hang on i'm coming over.' She hung up and i was glad she didnt live so far from me. She had a spare key because she fed my cat when i was gone. She came running in after a few minutes and held me. After a while a relaxed again and it was over. "How long did this one take?" I sighed. "Longer then usual. Just found out that norman is definitely seeing diane and just lied about it straight to my face." She shook his head. "Its his loss babe. He wont ever find someone like you again." Tears began flowing down my cheeks. "I wanna go out tonight. I need it. Just to get loose and forget everything." Blake eyed me. "You sire sweetie? Can you handle a night out like that?" I scoffed. "I dont care. Please blake i have too. I will go crazy otherwise." She nodded. "I round up the girls. Where you wanna go?" I smiled. "Escape maybe. Its temptation night." She raised her brow. "You're not gonna do anything stupid are you?" I chuckled. "What kind of girl do you think i am?" "I know you and thats why i'm saying it. Where is emily staying?" "I'm gonna ask my parents to watch her." She nodded and took her phone to call the girls.

I got ready and wore a cute black dress with an open back mike usual. I was gonna get so drunk today. Just enough that i still knew what i was doing. Blake picked me up and then we went to macy's to get her and phoebe so it was us four girls. I knew the owner and the bartenders at escape so it was easy for me to get drinks. We were dancing and drinking and someone came up to me. "Hi Dem." I turned around and saw charlie standing there. "Hey charlie. Whats up?" He was a sweet, handsome guy and not like other bastards. I liked him and he had asked me out on a date multiple times but i had refused every time. Maybe now it was time to finally say yes to the man. "I didnt think you would come here today." I smiled. "Yeah its tempation night so i really wanted to come." He smiled at me and he was so attractive. Maybe the booze had something to do with it but hey i'm only human right. "Its good seeing you. I'll get you a drink." I nodded and he came back with a bottle of water. I eyed him and raised a brow. "What are doing?" He smiled. "Just one bottle sweetie. It will be good for you and then you can drink again." I sighed and took it from him. "Yes dad." He scoffed. "I'm just looking out for you." I smiled and drank my water.

Norman's pov
I forgot that diane was coming to barcelona. I kinda cheated on her with dem but it wasnt like we were anything serious. She kissed me and i returned but it didnt feel right. I stopped her and told her everything. She understood and wished me the best and took off again. I had a free moment and decided to text dem. 'Hey babe i know its late there. I just miss you. I wish i was with you.' I didnt get a reply and i went to her instagram. It looked like she was out. She posted a pic of her with some dude. 'Such a sweet guy 😚. Good to see you charlie.' I frowned and texted her again. 'It looks like you're having fun. Be carefull out there. There are a mot of guys who want to take advantage.' Then i got a text back. 'Thanks for your concern but its none of your business.' I gasped at her comment. 'Are you mad at me?' I waited for another text. 'Just delete me norman. I will remain a fan but thats it.' What was she doing? I had to call her. I used the video call. She picked up and she looked angry. 'What do you want norman? I told you to just delete me.' 'Whats wrong what did i do?' She scoffed at me. She looked drunk. 'Arent you having fun in barcelona too? You should tell diane, that it takes more then just a hoodie to hide yourself from the people.' I closed my eyes and then it hit me. Word got round she was there and it got to dem. 'Listen yeah she was here but..' she cut me off. 'Stop i dont wanna know. I dont even care that she was. You lied straight to my face that there was nothing between you two. I thought you never lied. It just makes it easier for me now.' I frowned. 'Easier for what?' She chuckled. 'I didnt open myself up for other men. Well i got a sweet guy right next to me and he likes me for a while now.' I knew where this was going. She just kissed him in front of the camera and it broke my heart. 'Now you know how it feels like. Have a nice life norman.' She hung up the phone and i was numb. Jeffrey walked towards me. "Buddy are you okay?" I shook my head. "I've lost her. She knew diane was here." He sighed. "I told you before that it wasnt a good idea. Maybe she just needs some time." "She just kissed a guy in front of the camera. I think she made it clear." People were running too me but i wasnt in the right state of mind right now. I needed some space. I felt like i was gonna explode. I messed it up and now the woman i loved was seeing another man. Cookie guided me away from the crowd so i could be alone but he never left my side. "Sorry bout demi man. Just let it settle for a while and maybe everything will be alright." "What if she falls in love with him?" He sighed. "Then let her be happy. She deserves it dont you think. He lives where she lives." He was right if i truly loved her i needed to let her go.
