Secrets

Gonna Get Caught

Demi's POV

I opened the door and the fresh smell of vanilla hit me. Home always made me feel safe. I was greeted by my two dogs, Batman and Ella.

"Hi babies!" I shouted as I was showered in kisses. No matter how long I was gone for, they always acted like it had been months.

I filled their bowls and headed up stairs to find something to put on. I decided that I wouldn't get too fancy, because it was just breakfast with Nick.

My mind started to race as I looked at Wilmer's watch sitting on my dresser. I forgot that I was with him. How do I forget that I was with him. I fell back into my bed and stared at the wall. I was feeling lost. I couldn't help believe that me, Demetria Devonne Lovato, was cheating on someone. Tears rolled silently down my cheeks as I faced reality.

My stomach started to grumble, so I got myself up and for dressed. I put on the same black jean jacket that I always wear and headed back downstairs. I kept my pace steady, as I decided if I would cancel or not. But just as I made a decision, Nicks words came barreling back into my mind. "Demi, remember that I will always love and care for you. I will never forget you"

His words echoed through my mind like they were on repeat. I couldn't let him down. I sighed and headed outside, locking the door behind me.

"Took you long enough" Nick teased as I got into the car.

"It wasn't that long" I chuckled trying to push away the thoughts roaming my head.

"Have you been crying?" Nick blurted, putting his hand on my thigh.

"Look at me" he demanded, his tone getting more harsh.

I turned to him and revealed my tear stained cheeks.

"Oh, Demi" he sighed "What's wrong?"

"I keeping thinking about Wilmer" I pouted letting out a loud sigh.

Nick paused for a minute, I think he was thinking about what to say next. He turned back to me and studied my face for awhile.

"I think breakfast will be good for you" he announced turning on the car.

We drove to the nearest cafe to grab a bagel and some orange juice. We had a long conversation about if I was going to call Mike or not. Nick insisted that I did to get the stress of my chest. I denied his request multiple times until he finally gave up. We were half way done eating when I got a call from Wilmer.

"It's Wilmer" I murmured my hands shaking from the unexpected call.

"Hush" I snapped at Nick before he could say anything.

"Hey baby" I said as Nick rolled his eyes at my fake tone.

"I'm doing good"

"I'm just out eating breakfast"

"No, I'm alone" I lied as Nick contained his laughter on he other side of the table.

"I love you too"

"Bye, baby"

I put down the phone and sighed. I glanced over at Nick, who's smile now turned into concern.

I sat quietly as I gathered words to say.

"This is the first and last time we do this" I blurted my eyes now focused on my shaking hands.

"He still loves me Nick, I can't do this to him" I sighed and looked up to study Nick's reaction.

"It's okay, I get it" he said quietly, looking down at his hands. "Just remember that I'm here for you whenever you need me."
