Where have you been?- A Demi Lovato Love Story.

Why do you hate me?

CHAPTER 3

Demi's POV 

         After we had rehearsed ten songs we decided to take a break. Steve and Dave went off to get McDonalds while I settled for the salad bar that was provided. After I finished making it, I turned to go find a table, but hit into a solid body, dumping the contents of my plate all over them. "Shit i'm sorry." I said, and looked up to see Jai. He chuckled, "Man, you must really hate me." I blushed, "I don't hate you." I mumbled, and bent down to pick up the lettuce at the same time he did, bumping heads. I fell onto my ass and slapped my hand to my forehead. He laughed then, a genuine, booming, laugh. "You sure? Because you just dumped your lunch on me, and then attacked me with your head." I rolled my eyes and tried to get up before falling again. Jai offered his hand, but I pushed myself up. "I'm fine." I said. He arched an eyebrow, "I'm sure you are. Now let's get cleaned up." He motioned to a janitor and slipped her a bill before taking my hand and leading me to the bathroom.

            Once we were inside we wet a paper towel and began to rub the dressing out of his shirt and hair. I washed it off of my hands and face, "Hey Dems?" I looked up, not many people called me that. "Can you go get my bag from the stage? I have an extra shirt in there." I nodded, and walked out to the stage. Something about Jai wanted to make me run the opposite way, yet I couldn't help but move closer to him. He was intriguing, and it dre me to him. I walked towards the guitar stuff and grabbed a black backpack I assumed was his, then made my way back to the bathroom. I pushed open the door, without knocking. "Here-" I froze. Jai was standing there shirtless, my eyes trailed to his washboard abs then back to his face as I saw him laughing. "What?" I asked defensively. He just shook his head. "Nothing, Nothing at all. Do you have the bag?" I nodded and handed it to him, forcing myself to keep my eyes on his face. "Thanks." He took out a plain black t-shirt and slipped it over his head, then turned to me. "So, mind telling me why you don't like me?" He said with a smirk. "I-I.. I never said that." I defended. He smiled sadly, "No, you didn't come out and say it, but I can tell. I just don't know what I did or said that upset you." He looked at me curiously. "I.. I'm sorry, but i don't... I can't." I pushed past him and walked out of the bathroom.w

        "Demi wait." He said, and followed me out, "Please leave me alone." I said, and walked faster towards the stage. He quickened his pace too. "Demi I need to tell you something." Finally I made it onto the stage and walked up to the Mic. "Let's do the last few songs." The band nodded and got into position. I turned around and Jai stood there looking at me, "C'mon Dems." He said quietly. "Don't call me that. Now get the acoustic. Catch me is next." He sighed and picked up the instrument. I sighed too, of course the most romantic song on the set list is next. 

             "Ready?" Jai said, after tuning the guitar. I nodded, wanting to get this over with as quickly as possible. Jai started plucking at the strings while I sang the melody. 

Before I fall, too fast. Kiss me quick, but make it last. 
So I can see how badly this will hurt me, when you say goodbye. 
Keep it sweet, Keep it slow. Let the future pass, and don't let go. 

              I glanced at Jai while I was singing, startled to see him gazing at me intently, so I quickly bounced my eyes off of him in an attempt to be subtle about it. 

'Cause you're so hypmotizing, you got me laughing while I sing 
You've got me smiling in my sleep. 
And I can see this unraveling your love is where I'm fallin' so please don't catch me. 

                  I could feel Jai's gaze on my again but I managed not to check and confirm my suspicions. Instead I looked out into the huge arena we were practicing in and tried to imagine it filled with lovatics. This tour was going to be amazing, all I have to do is stay focused.
