"Sorry you had to see that." Joe apologises collecting some of his papers together getting ready to go home, he never meant to fall asleep, it just kinda happened.

"Doesn't matter, does that happen everytime you go to sleep?" Demi questions and Joe nods his head slowly. "Why?" 

"I'm sure you don't want to be bored by my problems." He states standing up, Demi just pushes him back down on the chair jumping up on the desk. Joe just looks up at her allowing a sigh to realise from his lips.

"You helped me that time when I was self harming, now I will help you." Demi demands leaving Joe have a small smile on his face. Joe then begins wondering how to tell her, he's never really told anyone about it before because his family was told by his old care workers. Joe takes a deep breath before beginning to explain what happened all them many years ago, when he never thought it would be possible to have a loving family.

"Apparently when I was about 6 months old who I thought was my dad until I turned 11 stole me from my home with my parents." Joe begins not noticing Demi's wide eyes because he's looking down at the floor. "He raised me until I was about 3 then started abusing me, using me as his slave when all along I thought he was my real dad. That happened until I was about 11 then police found out took me to a care home and took 3 years to find my real family." Demi sits there speechless, not quite knowing what to say, how can you say something to that? Demi begins thinking and everything begins coming back to her, she never had memory of before her 6th birthday at the care home now she remembers everything and the last time she came into contact with her real dad.

"Demi come here!" Lee shouts soon seeing Demi rushing into her bedroom.

"Yes sir." Demi says standing in front of him, he grabs her wrist beginning to drag her across the room into the bathroom which is looking very messy.

"Tidy this up, you have 5 minutes!" He screams pushing her down on the wet floor leaving straight after, Demi scurries back onto her feet beginning to tidy up the room quickly knowing he means she only has 5 minutes. Demi hears the door open seeing a bottle of show gel on the floor diving to catch it but ends up at her dad's feet. She whimpers knowing what's coming. Lee picks her up by her hair and throws her back down on the floor making her cry out in pain.

"Oh shut up you big baby!" He exclaims grabbing her again before dragging her through the bedroom down the hall to the top of the stairs.

"Please don't daddy!" She exclaims grabbing onto his clothes, he unclamps her hands and throws her down the stairs. Everything went black.

Demi puts her head in her hands beginning to cry as well as Joe is, Joe stands up and carefully wraps his arms around her, Demi then wraps her arms back around him as they both cry. They spend a few minutes embracing each other, Demi just loving being in his arms, it's like she was made perfectly to fit . Demi pulls away and looks up at him.

"I remember why I went into care," she mumbles and Joe wipes the tears flowing down her cheeks gently. "My dad was abusive too, he pushed me down the stairs and I must have hit my head too hard and lost all memory before." Joe cracks a smile slightly knowing they share something in common, Demi looks up at him and smiles a bit too. They find themselves getting close and closer until their lips connect, Joe takes the lead allowing his lips to move against Demi's wrapping his arms back around her waist as Demi's snake around his neck. Joe pulls back a few moments looking into her eyes as she looks back. His lips find his way back to Demi's this time being a bit more heated, Demi opens her mouth slightly allowing him to gain access, Joe begin wrestling his tongue with hers only pulling away when air was needed
