Nick's pov

Demi's tear filled eyes met mine. She shook her head signalling not to tell her but we had too. There was no way out of it she has to know, the truth that is. I nodded and mouthed 'Yes.'

I faced my daughter and gazed at her. "Charlotte?"

"Daddy?"

"You know I love you right?" I hesitantly asked. Wait! Where am I going with this? Demi looked at me sternly. I put my hands up in surrender. She sighed.

"Babygirl,I left you because I got forced to." Demi whispered. Okay straight out answer. I just sighed. What can I do?

Charlotte's pov

What in the hell is that supposed to mean? Sure I knew what she was implying but I couldn't really get it into my head. Blame the fever."Yeah I don't get it?" I heard her sigh and before she inputed another explantion I closed my eyes listening to her heartbeat.

The rhythm was slow and steady unlike my heart beat which was pretty messed up for my liking. With mine you could make a rap song or a twerk one.

Haha imagine writing a twerk song with my heart beat, it would be Miley Cyrus up in here.Turn down for what?!Haha!

No?

Okay... :-\

I am a weird child. Unless you haven't noticed and if you didn't then just hand yourself over to the police.

Now where was I? Oh okay great I forgot....

See if I had a great brain like Einstein then I wouldn't forgot these things... Oh life I really hate your ass right now...

Demi's pov

I just looked down at Charlotte then at Nick. "Demi?"

"Ummhum." He hesitated before asking. "Are you okay?" I shook my head then looked down. He pulled me closer,my head resting upon his chest.

"N-Nick I don't know what to do? Sooner or later she wants to know the whole truth but how Nick?How?" I felt wetness on my cheeks, just perfect right in this very moment. I don't cry much because of weakness and weakness shows pain.

Fingers reached under my chin, pulling upwards. I came face to face again with Nick's brown orbs. Before we knew our lips moved in sync.

"Hey guys I know your in a sappy moment right now but keep it PG or Universal because I kinda don't want you guys having sex on top of me. And then next thing you know there's a kid running around the house, with me on it's tail. Yelling in fustration at how much it's pissing me off and I grow grey hairs before I'm 16 and then..."

Her voice was muffled by the pillow. I looked down at her stunned expression. "If I remove the pillow will you stop talking." She nodded. I carefully removed it from her mouth not hesitating putting it back there. "I was gonna say I will be wrinkly and old by 16 and a 1/2." I groaned and Nick let out a throaty chuckle, I glared at him and he stopped,clearing his throat.

"Charlotte do you still want to know?" Nick asked.

Charlotte's pov

I thought for a minute. Do I really want to know or not? I don't even know. The nosey side of me is begging her to tell me why, but the bad ass side is saying hate her forever.

Then I've got the stupid side who doesn't really give a damn. Like I said I'm not Einstein. And I did say I wasn't gonna take her back, and I'm not making excuses but this fever and this house are making me too darn sweet. Mental note to check this house for voodoo things.

But anyhoo... I really don't want to know the answer eventhough I asked the question. Really Charlotte your just too dum really dum. Like plain ol' stupid.

"Babygirl?" I shook out of my thoughts. "Humm yeah?"

"You zoned out." I nodded. "I don't want to know maybe in the future not now, anyway where's Vanessa."

My two parents looked at eachother. Errrm okay then...

"Nessa's gone home sweetie,she went after I dropped your sisters off." De-Mom said.

"Huh?What? why..." I whined. "Because she wanted to, you can call her if you want."

"Nahh too lazy." Just then my stomach growled. "Are you hungry?" I shook my head.

"What do you want?" I panicked, she can't be serious. "I-I... errm...nothing."

"Nick can you make her a strawberry smoothie." Dad nodded and walked out. Really could of said no. I sighed and climbed off her lap and laid down. And my butt is still hurting like bad,bad. Are these symptoms of a fever because I don't think they are.

"Charlotte why won't you eat?"

"Because I don't wanna!" I said in my sassy voice. "I'm serious."

"Well hello serious, I'm Charlotte." she sighed.

"Charlotte do you have a eating disorder?"

Wow she sure hell didn't hesitate did she?!

"Ain't nobody got time for that?" The sounded more like a question but I really didn't know because I fell asleep. How orignal!
