The Past, The Present, The Future- A Jemi Love Story (Season 1)

Episode 8

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weeks go by and Demi's condition gets worse, the bullying is still carry on and getting worse every day, she's still self harming and not eating as much as she normally does. She goes home telling her parents she's eaten out with Sel making it look like she has eaten when she hasn't. They've noticed the weight difference though. As for Joe he's been sleeping better but still not being able to sleep through the night, he's been seeing his counsellor once every 2 days most of the time during school hours which students have picked up on especially Demi. She just believes he's as ill as he looks. Joe opens the door and walks through half way through the lesson having finished his session allowing supply teacher to leave, he takes a seat and gets on top of what part of the work they're through.

"Anyone need any help?" He asks.

"Demi said she does." Stacy says smirking, Demi just sighs.

"I don't, I understand this work." She states writing the answer down to question 23.

"I didn't mean the work." Stacy answers back and the class laughs.

"Leave her alone and get on with the work." Joe commands making everyone be quiet and start working again. He looks over at Demi who's quietly getting on with her work, he can't help but notice the cuts on her wrist appearing when she moves her arm to write making her sleeve move. He sighs quietly to himself knowing this bulling is affecting her move then he thought, it needs to be sorted out anyway.

Joe strolls through the door seeing his Uncle and boss sat at the desk sorting through paper work. Ian looks up smiling slightly when he sees his nephew. He motions for Joe to sit down after he asks to talk to him.

"There's rumours going around that I'm dating a student, you know Demi?"

"Of course but why?" He asks confused.

"We kinda maybe met up at the park when I went for a walk, we talked for about 5 minutes then separated," Joe explains. "Students have been bullying her about it and I noticed today she has been self harming, her mood is low as well so it needs sorting."

"I will sort it out myself, thanks for telling me." Joe stays for a bit having a chat with his Uncle answering some questions about what could be done during Christmas. Christmas is on its way since December is going to be appearing very soon. Joe has always loved Christmas even more now than when he was a kid, it's the only time of the year all his family come together and spend time. It's not often all brothers are together now that Kevin and Nick have moved out but until they all begin having families the tradition is they spend the day over at their mom's house sharing presents and love with their parents.

Demi gets sent home later that day for a reason she has no idea about, her parents have been told what Mr. Jonas had seen and experienced earlier on that morning but they won't say anything tonight. The school gathers in the gym where assemblies are also done as well as basket ball games and gym lessons. Ian stands next to Joe who is watching the seniors of the school walk in curious of what this is about and taking a seat.

"Is Demi at home?" He asks.

"Yes, I told her parents about what's happened." He explains. 

"Hopefully this will work, she used to be happy and lively." Joe admits.
