Don't Leave Me

Chapter 20 - Back to Tour

Demi's POV:

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I've heard that sound all too much. Don't get me wrong, I love my life now and days, days are proof that not only I, but Emily is still alive. Both of us are very lucky to be. However, this day is the day I get back to my hectic schedule. I love performing for my fans, but get to tour life can get to be exhausting at times.

Oh, well though...

I rolled out of bed and slowly walked into the bathroom.

"Emily, you up?!" I half-yelled.

No response.

"Emily, honey."

I walked to her side of the bed and started lightly shaking her.

She woke up, gasping very loudly.

"Honey, why don't you start getting ready. We have to leave in an hour."

"It won't take me an hour." She mumbled and closed her eyes.

"Emily." I sighed and walked back into the bathroom. I proceeded to straighten my hair and put on my make-up. Nothing too much. After all, today is mostly just the drive and finding a nice hotel in Arizona. The next few days is just filled with rehearsals. Not as hectic as I thought when I first woke up, but I mean, that can be life sometimes when we first wake up... right?

30 minutes later

"Emily, you need to get up."

No response.

"Emily."

I walked back to her and lightly shook her again.

Again, she woke up with a loud gasp.

"Honey, you need to get up. We're leaving in 30 minutes."

"It won't take me 30 minutes to get ready." She retorted.

"Did you at least pack everything?" I asked.

"That won't take me very long." She closed her eyes.

I opened up her Victoria's Secret Pink duffel bag, ready to put in her clothes when a bag full of a white powder looking substance caught my eye.

I grabbed the bag out and threw it away.

I know what this stuff is. I know this stuff all too well.

"Emily? You need to get up now."

"No." She mumbled.

"Emily." I sat at the end of the bed and proceeded with "you can sleep on the way."

"No, I can't."

"Huh."

"You'll tell me I'm depressed and proceed to tell me how it will be good for me to do stuff."

"Okay, I won't do that, but you need to get up and at least talk to me."

"About what?" She sat up.

"I found a white substance in your bag. Do you want to tell me what that was and how you got ahold of it?" I calmly asked.

"You were in my bag?" She asked, defensively.

"I was packing for you. We have to leave in 15 minutes."

"So."

"How did you get ahold of cocaine."

"I didn't. That was sugar."

"You had a bag of sugar, buried at the bottom of your bag."

"Yeah, you don't?"

"Emily."

I went into the bathroom and grabbed two ponytail holders. I came back and sat behind her on the bed, putting her hair into a messy bun.

"I just wish you would talk to me, honey." I told her.

"Well, I'm not going to."

"Finish packing." I told her.

"I thought you did it for me."

"I started. I have to get us some breakfast though, so finish packing."

She sighed.

I went downstairs and made us each a bowl of applejacks.

"Are you almost done... Emily. Emily." I started looking for her.

I knocked on the bathroom door.

"Emily, honey."

She opened the door and said "relax, I'm just picking on my make-up".

"Why are you sucking on a mint?"

"I don't know, detective."

"Okay. I brought you a pull of cereal."

"Yay", she said with fake enthusiasm.

"Did you finish packing?" I asked her.

"Was I supposed to?"

"Okay." I sighed and proceeded with "eat your cereal".

I put the rest of her clothes in her bag.

"Did you eat all of your cereal?" I asked her, looking at the empty bowl.

"Yeah, that's what I did with it."

"What did you do with it?" I asked her.

"Nothing, I'm ready."

"Alright, grab your bag." I told her.

"And my back pack."

"Yeah, don't forget that."

We went downstairs and said good bye to everyone, then got in the tour bus. "Hi, Ashley." I greeted her.

"Hey, how are you two?"

"Great, thanks."

"Where are you going?" I asked Emily as she walked past me.

"To lay down. You told me I could."

"I did say that, didn't I?"
