The Only Exception( A Demi Lovato Fanfic) [Editing]

Chapter 26: DCC

2 weeks later... (Tuesday)

Summer

Omg! This Friday is my one month anniversary. Demi and I have made it through a whole month. Though it feels like a lot longer than that.
Even though the whole world doesn't know, or my family for that matter, this is something big for me to celebrate. The only other person I have ever dated for longer than a month was Josh.

I'm currently on my way to cheer practice. Demi had to fly to California for Xfactor. I'm going to meet up with her on Thursday at the taping. I get out of my car and walk into the main dance studio. About thirty girls are in here stretching and plié . I pass by them and into the locker room. I was putting my bag in my block, when I heard my name being called. It's Mrs. Finglass.

"Summer?" she called again this time looking out her office door.

You only get called by the head cheer coach for two reasons; either your fired or your promoted. This is my rookie year, so promotions rarely happen for us. Immediately, my stomach turns into knots. I walk slowly, feeling as if I move to much I'll barf all over the place.

I sit in the chair across from her as she grins then takes off her oval glasses.

"Summer, your Sarah's daughter aren't you?"

"Yes ma'am." I reply softly

"I cheered with her. The reason I called you in here is because the girls have been talking." she looks down back at her paper.

Talking about what, I think to myself. Suddenly, a million thoughts run through mind. Have they found out about Demi and I? Do they not want me on the team anymore? I start to panic, noticeably hyperventilating. They can't be a bunch of homophobics. This is my whole career on the line; damn that, my whole life.

Demi

I'm currently away in LA, apart from the love of my life. Luckily, she coming down Thursday. However, it's not all bad because this gives me time to pick out the perfect anniversary gift. I have an idea about a part of what I want to do. Since I don't have to be at rehearsal until two o'clock, I have about three hours.
Arriving in Santa Barbara, I get out of my car and walk through the herd of paps. God they're so fucking annoying, I swear. I walk into TopShop USA. Immediately, glances and smiles are aimed at me. I try to shop like a normal person, but all I can seem to receive is camera flashing through the windows.
A sales attendee comes up to me and ask if I need anything.

"No thanks." I smile

I search through the assortment of clothes until I find the sexist dress ever.It's a tight, super low cut white dress, with long white sleeves and a short diagonally cut hem. Only someone with a body like Sam could make this sexy. I get turned on just imagining her in it. Quickly grabbing the dress, I walk to the checkout counter. I walk up to the counter and hand the dress to the sales manager.

"This is a beautiful dress, I think it will look lovely on you." she smiles

"Actually, it's for my girlfriend." I answer

She looks up at me, than rings up the dress.

"Alright Ms.Lovato your total is $820.42."

I pull out my credit card, swipe and sign my name.

"I hope your girlfriend enjoys her gift." she winks

I stare at her oddly and turn away. Next, I'm off to Tiffany & Co.

Summer

I can't breathe, my throat is tight and I feel sick.

"Calm down darling, it isn't bad" she assures me

I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Actually it's really good news. Do you know the DCC Showgroup?"

"Oh my GOD yea, only like the best of the best get to be apart of it!"I shrieked

"Exactly, and like I said before the girls have been talking... and nominated you to be one of the first rookies ever to perform!"

"Holy Shit! Are you serious?" I covered my mouth in surprise.
"I'm sorry, excuse my French. What I meant was, thank you for this amazing opportunity." I tried to remain as calm and civilized as possible.

"Your surely welcome. We will be performing October 5, and you will train for the rest of the week with the Showgirls, Congrats."

"That's this Friday." I panic

This Friday is my anniversary.

"Is that a problem?" she asks

"No ma'am." I lie

"Well you better get going Ms. Marino." she suggests

"Thank you." I stand up and leave.

I walk back into the locker room and rest my head against the wall. How am I going to perform on Friday, when I'm suppose to be in Los Angeles? I slide down the wall until my butt rested on the floor. This is an amazing opportunity for me, but I can't be apart from her. Slowly standing up, I reach into my duffle bag and grab my phone. I smile while noticing Demi and I on my wallpaper. Putting in her number, the phone rings.

"Hey beautiful. How are you?" she answers

"Okay, I'm at cheer practice right now. And you?"

"Riding around; I'm heading to my apartment in a little bit."

"So, baby.. I have good news and bad news."

"Okay, Good News." She responds

"I made the DCC Showgirls!" I shriek

"Yayyy." she half laughs " I have no idea what that is."

"It's an elite group of the best DCC
and I was picked to be one."

"Awesome, and the bad news."

I took a deep breath, "We perform this Friday."

"This Firiday, Friday that's our anniversary. Your suppose to be with me, here, on Friday." she says worried

"I know, but this is an opportunity of a life time. I'll decline if you want me to."

"No. No. Don't do that, you worked so damn hard for this. We can just reschedule."

"We can't reschedule our anniversary Demi."

"It's not rescheduling, we're just delaying it a little bit. Plus this will give me more time to find the perfect gift." she assured me

"I love you so much. I'll still come on Thursday but I'll have to leave Friday morning."

"I can live with that." She laughs

"I gotta go, but I'll call you when I get home from practice."

"Alrighty, I love you Sam."

"Love you too."

I hang up and return to the dance room.
