NICK'S POV:
The next morning I called Selena Demi's best friend and asked her if Demi had been acting weird lately. But as sad as I was to hear Selena say "No she's been acting completely normal."
I was relieved maybe Demi throwing up was a one time thing.
I had to gather the courage to ask her if this was something she was going through. It had to be perfect timing.
DEMI'S POV:
When I woke up that morning everything that had happened that night was foggy. I went to the bathroom and when I saw my reflection I was disgusted. Never in my life had I looked so terrible. My face was tear- stained, I was fat, I was a mess. Again.
I had been sick for three years now. It was normal to me, no one knew and I made sure of it. Not even Selena who was someone I trusted with every secret.
My sixteenth birthday was in a few weeks, and so was another friend of mine Miley Cyrus. She was having a huge part in Disney land and I couldn't wait to go. To escape my mind for a little.
I was suddenly snapped out of my trance when I heard my phone ringing it was Nick. My stomach immediately started to turn remembering what had happened last night. He seemed so nervous. I was terrified to what he was about to tell me.
NICKS POV:
I had gathered the courage to ask Demi about what had happened last night. When I heard her kind, sweet voice say "Nick hi.. what's up?"
I couldn't bring myself to ask her. It would be at another time.
I quickly said "Oh um I just wanted to talk to you." Which was the truth I loved hearing Demi's voice. her mood quickly lightened up, and you could tell she was smiling. I instantly imagined her beautiful smile with her sparkling white teeth. I was instantly smiling myself. Forgetting everything on my mind that morning.
DEMI'S POV:
I was relieved and instantly beaming. I had grown to really like Nick. I was also relieved he couldn't know about what was going on with me. No one could.
We talked for what seemed like hours until I said "I have to go get ready for filming later today! I'll see you later Nicholas" ending it in a giggle. I could tell he was smiling and that made me so happy for once. He then said in the cutest way possible "See you later today Demetria." I instantly started to giggle and said again "Bye" with the biggest smile on my face.
When I got to the set later that day I hadn't had anything to eat. I was starving as usual. But I always reminded myself that I wasn't hungry. I instantly saw Nick and run right up to him. "Hi Dem" he said making me laugh instantly just by how cute he was. "Hi Nick"
We didn't have much time to talk because we had to start filming for Camp Rock. I instantly turned into Mitchie Tores my character that was healthy, happy, and just wanted to sing. I was about 25% of my character I wanted to sing that was where I felt completely happy and like my life was perfect. Or acting I loved them both equally as much. We filmed our scenes for about six hours it was already dark. We were all by the camp fire eating s'mores when Nick nudged me.
NICK'S POV:
Not much happened after I met Demi or Demetria as I late found out was her full name. I did get her number and we did text often,but we were just friends at the time. I had began to develop feelings for Demi in the summer of 2008 when we had began working on Camp Rock a summer hit movie that would be played on Disney Channel. Demi and I were best friends but she was also best friends with my brothers and other people on the cast. Most times I felt myself wanting just to be around her. Demi's laugh was so amusing and contagious and i loved it. I knew we would be just friends for a while but not until later that August our friendship changed forever.
DEMI'S POV:
Nick and I had been talking like we knew each other forever especially now since we were on set together almost everyday. I liked him I liked him a lot. I always seemed to want to be near him. Even if I was in a room full of people that I loved Selena, Marissa, etc. I didn't know if Nick felt the same way but I didn't care at the time. I enjoyed having my crush to myself. Later that summer in August we were sitting on set eating s'mores by a Bonfire when he nudged me on my arm and whispered for me to follow him to the lake. All I could do was smile and run off with him. When we got there we sat in a boat and sailed off at around 8:30pm. We laughed, joked, and talked for the most part. Him and me both could only smile. I was on cloud 9. l loved spending time with nick even if we were just friends. I cared about nick and I was glad we had developed a friendship so quickly. Once It was about 9 pm we were still on the boat wen Nick suddenly asked me
"what's your biggest fear?" all I could say was being alone when I really need someone. 'What's yours?'
"That I'll never find love someone who truly gets me. Corny right?"
I was surprised by Nick's answer. I looked at Nick and noticed he was looking at the moon. And said 'No not at all. I totally understand.'
We stayed silent for a while and just looked at the water and the distant fireworks that come from the fair that was a mile up the road from where we were shooting.
But Nick then asked me "Demi I didn't want to say anthing before but I'm really.. w-worried about you. Is everything okay?"
Before I could respond or even think of a lie to tell him something suddenly something hit the boat and all I remember was blacking out and water rushing into my air ways.
NICKS POV:
Tonight has been great with Demi I was so glad she agreed to come with me to the lake. We had been sitting in silence for a little while after I asked her what her biggest fear was. I was puzzled for a whole about what hers was about. What could she have ment? Maybe it's nothing I thought
I had always wondered if something was going on inside Demi, but I never brought myself to ask her what was truly wrong.
It took everyone of courage I had left to ask almost in a whisper "Demi I didn't want to say anthing before but I'm really.. w-worried about you. Is everything okay?"When we were watching the fireworks from the distance I noticed something coming near us I didn't know if it was a fish or a log. Or worse a crocodile. I suddenly remembered what David the director had told us.
He had said to be careful because sometimes crocodiles or other animals would get in the pond so we shouldn't go boating or swimming a lot while filming there. I didn't want to tell Demi what I saw just in case she was afraid of what was coming near our boat. I waited patiently for Demi to answer but right as she was about to say something the object hit our boat and Demi was knocked into the water. I then dived into the water to save her She meant the world to me I couldn't risk letting her get hurt. Demi had once told me while we were texting that she didn't know how to swim. So I had to get her out of the water as fast as possible. It was dark out so I swam as fast as I could and brought her to shore. I then laid her on the beach and took her pulse. Nothing.
I was absolutely terrified I couldn't have demi die. She meant everything to me and I hadn't even gotten the chance to tell her how a felt about her. Sure we just met a few months ago, but there was something special about her that I couldn't let go of.
The one thing I did know how to do if someone ever drowned was give them mouth to mouth. In a way I was excited because it meant I got to kiss Demi. Even though it would be for a few seconds. I liked her that much. I put my mouth on her hers and blew air in her body. Then counted to five and did it ten more times. Until finally demi started to cough and spit out water. All I could do at the point was hug her. She then looked into my eyes and mouth 'thank you nick.'
then everyone came running and asked what had happened a few minuets later Demi was in an ambulance on her to the nearest hospital.
