CHAPTER 17
Demi's POV
I woke up snuggled into Nicko with a huge smile on my face. He was still sleeping, so I decided to give him a wakeup call, I pressed my lips to his and wound my fingers in his hair. I felt him wake up, then wrap his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. "Hey." He said as we pulled apart, "Hi." I smiled, and intertwined our fingers together. We were silent for a second, then Nicko shook his head, "We need to talk about it you know." I groaned and shook my head, "No we don't, I'm over it." He sighed, "But I'm not. Demi I don't want you to be afraid of me, I'll never hurt you." I nodded, "I know, that night was just a little intense." He hugged me then, not because I needed it, but because he was desperate for it. His head snuggled into my neck and his voice was muffled, "I'm so sorry." I rubbed the back of his neck, "It's okay baby, I love you."

The next week went on slowly. Nicko was barely home because of some new movie he was working on and I was trying to piece together my fourth album. Often, one of us would get home late when the other was already sleeping, and then have an early start to the next day, it was terrible. I miss him so much.
"I don't know what to do Mar, he's always gone." I complained into the phone to Marissa as I laid on the couch one morning, "Maybe you could go visit him on set?" I sighed, "I don't know... I don't wanna be a bother for him." I heard Marissa make a frustrated sound, "Demi the man is in love with you, how could you ever be a bother?" I put my head in my hands, "Should I really do it?" "Uhhh yes?! He'll love it. Plus, you'll get to see him in action." I smiled, "Alright Mar, I'll do it. Thanks babe." She giggled, "Don't get pregnant." I rolled my eyes, "Goobye Marissa."

I pulled through the gates if the closed set after flashing my ID. Sometimes being Demi Lovato has it's perks. I got out of the car and walked around looking for Nicko's trailer. Finally, I found it. Just as I was about to knock the sound of giggling reached my ears. So, I paused to listen. "Ohmigod! Nicko you're such a good singer!" A girl's voice-high and bubbly, cooed. "Thank Mia, I've been working on that for a while." The girl- Mia, giggled again, "Sing more Nicki!" I nearly gagged, Nicki?! Who the hell does this bitch think she is? Abruptly, I pushed open the door and stopped short. The girl was leaning towards Nicko who was leaning away, "Mia I can't I have a-" He was cut off by her lips, pressed against his forcefully. He tried to push her off but I got there first, grabbing her and throwing her off of him. "He has a fucking girlfriend." I snarled. Mia looked glanced at Nicko, then scurried away. I whirled around to a shocked Nicko. "Demi I didn't.... I mean I tried to stop her but she just kissed me! I don't know what was happening!" I sighed and held up my hand for him to stop his ramblings, "I know." He sighed relief, "Okay then-" "I'm still curious though, why the hell was she in your trailer?!" Nicko shook his head, "We were running lines, then she asked about my new music so I played something for her. Then.... Don't be mad." I shook my head, "I'm not mad." His hands rubbed my arms, "Yes you are. I know you, and your wild imagination." I tiled my forehead so it landed against his chest. "I just don't like that she gets to see you more than I do." Nicko smirked, "Well we have right now..." I giggled as he lifted me so my legs could wrap around his waist and he leaned in to kiss me.. Just as our lips were about to touch, the trailer door opened and a voice form outside called in, "Nicko! Director says on set right now." Nick sighed and let my legs drop to the floor, "Okay!" He cupped my face and kissed me slowly, passionately. "Nicko!" The voice called again and we broke away, our chests heaving. "Fuck." Nick breathed. I stood up on my tip-toes and kissed him again, "I should go." He took my hands, "I love you Demi, only you." I smiled and nodded, "I love you too Nicko."

"I don't know where he is Mom. He hasn't come home yet." I moaned into the phone. It was now 2 AM, and Nicko hadn't gotten home yet. "I'm sure it'll be fine Demi, he'll come home." At that moment, the door opened, "Gotta go mom he's back." he said goodbye and I walked out of the bedroom into the kitchen. "Where the fuck have you been?!" I stopped short. Nick was staggering and behind him was a giggling Mia. "What's going on." Nicko looked up, reeking of alcohol. "Hey baby." He slurred, and took a stumbling step forward. "Don't touch me." anger flashed in his eyes and all of a sudden I was pushed against the wall with his hot breath on my face. "I'll fucking touch you if I wanna touch you." I turned my head to look at Mia, who seemed a lot for sober than Nicko. "You can go now." She smirked and turned on her hell, but just before she reached the door the bitch turned around again, "Oh, and tell Nicko I had an amazing time." Biting my lip, I nodded. Then Nicko looked after her, "Where are you going? The party isn't over!" Mia giggled, "Demi kicked me out." His expression turned stormy as he turned on me. "MIA IS MY FRIEND DEMI. SHE CAN STAY HERE IF I WANT HER TO OKAY? DON'T BE SUCH A BITCH." He bellowed into my face and I slid down the wall, whimpering. "Let's have fun Mia." He said, and she walked back into the house. "Sure Nicki. Wattaya wanna do?" At this angle, I knew he was getting a full view of her cleavage. "I wanna have fun. Demi never has fun with me like this." I crawled out of the room, down the hallway and into the bedroom, locking the door behind me as I choked on my tears. I curled up on the bed in one of Nicko's t-shirts until I heard Mia leave. By now it was four in the morning. Nicko's heavy footsteps clopped down the hallway and I winced as he jiggled the door handle. "Demi why is the door locked?" I could hear the alcohol dragging his voice out, he's even more drunk than before. "DEMI LET ME IN!" I jumped when his voice suddenly escalated into a shout. "DEMI IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW I'LL-" He paused, then his footsteps went away. "SMASH!" I screamed as he hit into the door, but it held. "Wait until morning." He uttered darkly, then walked off again. I squeezed my eyes shut and for the second time that week, I cried myself to sleep.
