Life On Tour

Twelve

Callie's POV

"You shouldn't" I mumbled as I pushed Demi from the bathroom and shut the door.

I slid down against the bathroom door, listening as Demi rapped her knuckles against it, repeating my name.

I pulled my jeans down and cleaned off the blood and used cold water to soak out the blood in my jeans.

It has faded enough to not be noticeable and I yanked them back up and added the hoodie.

When I opened the door Demi was seated getting her makeup done.

"Okay Nat, lets get crew organised" I smiled, ignoring the looks I was getting from Marissa and Alex.

We spent the next two hours setting up backstage and organising the crew getting everything into position.

Demi only had one hiccup so far, her mic conking out for no apparent reason. It was a quick fix and the show was still on going.

"Hey, so you're pretty much done here. Why don't you grab something to eat and head back to the dressing rooms?" Natalie whispered softly.

"Are you sure you don't need me?" I questioned, we were both sitting side stage and were just watching Demi perform.

"Yeah, honestly I'm going to head back soon. I just know you were out late last night drinking so I thought you might appreciate a shower and some alone time" she smiled at me.

"It's straight to the buses and on the road after this isn't it?" I questioned.

"Yeah but we have a week at the next place. Demi is playing 2 shows and her family will be there" Natalie explained.

"Okay yeah, I'm going to grab a shower here cause the buses suck" I laughed.

Natalie nodded and turned back to the stage as I made my way to Demi's dressing room.

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel tightly around my head, securing my hair in place.

As I stepped back into the dressing room I noticed Alex sitting on the couch.

"Can we talk?" He mumbled.

"Aren't you supposed to be on stage right now?" I growled.

"We just finished, Cal please talk to me" he pleaded.

"I have nothing to say Alex!" I snapped.

"You can't just ignore me! We need to talk about it" he sighed.

"There isn't anything to talk about. I was drunk and high and upset. It was a mistake and I don't think of you that way" I stumbled.

He turned away "I know it was and I know you don't. I also know how you feel about Demi, well that you feel strongly enough to hurt yourself for hurting her" he mumbled.

"Just leave me alone Alex" I growled.

"I saw your leg, and I know what it is. I used to do it too. You don't need to go down that road again" he reasoned.

"Just stay out of it Alex! Just leave me alone, how many times do I have to say I don't want you here!" I screamed.

"I think you should leave Alex" she spoke from the doorway.

My eyes snapped to hers and then immediately away.

Alex signed and threw his hands up "Fine but Callie you can't ignore me forever and you sure as hell won't have her to kick me out next time either" he growled.

"Don't fucking threaten me!" I yelled, moving towards him as he turned to face the doorway.

"Oh that wasn't a threat Calliope. That was a promise. You won't ignore this or me forever" he smiled.
