We keep behind closed doors. Every time I see you, I die a little more. Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls, it'll never be enough.
He makes his way to the edge of the stage as the song comes to a finish. They're not a proper couple and he doesn't know if she'll want him here but he couldn't stand listening to her cry and not check if she is okay. He stays out of sight, standing a little behind Max, Lauren and Kelsey as he hears the song ends. He watches as she appears at the side of the stage with tear-filled eyes. Her eyes immediately settle on him and she smiles slightly before making her way past everyone else and practically throwing herself into his arms.
'Hi, you... I just wanted to make sure you are okay.' He says softly as he wraps his arms around her and she buries her head in the crook of his neck.
'Mmm... It's tough.' She almost whispers against his neck.
'You were absolutely amazing out there tonight.' He says.
'Thanks.' She replies quietly. She remains wrapped in his arms for a few moments before pulling back slightly. She glances over her shoulder and sees Max, Lauren and Kelsey all standing with small smiles on their faces causing her to turn back to him.
'Secret is out, I guess.' She says and he nods his head.
'I guess it is. I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.' He says causing her to smile.
'Don't apologise... Are you going to watch Bruno Mars with the others?' She asks.
'I don't know. I'm not really that bothered if I'm honest.' He admits.
'Are you going to watch him?' He asks and she shakes her head.
'Honestly, I'm exhausted. I think I'm going to try get some sleep before we need to catch the flight.' She replies.
'Well I'll let you go then.' He says.
'If you're not wanting to watch the rest of the show you could come back and lie with me for a bit?' She suggests causing him to smile.
'Sounds good to me.' He says kissing the top of her head.

'I know most of my team know now but I still want to keep this quiet for a bit... Mainly until tour finishes.' Demi says as she climbs into bed.
'That's understandable.' He replies moving his arm so she can curl into his side.
'How are you feeling? I know you were a bit anxious about putting out Sober and performing it tonight.' He asks resting his hand on her lower back and pulling her closer to him.
'Relieved. The amount of support I've got online since the song was released is just so overwhelming. Performing it is hard, so much harder than I thought it would be but I also think it'll be healing in the long run.' She replies and he nods his head.
'You have so many people who love you, Demi. Your fans adore you and they're always going to be there for you.' He says.
'They're pretty amazing.' She replies quietly as she adjusts the covers over them both.
'Are you sure you don't want to go watch the show with the others? I feel like I'm keeping you from having fun with them.' She admits glancing up at him causing him to shake his head.
'You're not keeping me from anything. I'd rather be here than anywhere else.' He says smiling.
'What are you wanting? I mean when this tour finishes and we're not seeing each other everyday, what's going to happen?' She asks.
'I like you, Demi. Spending time with you over this tour has been amazing and I don't want that to end. I'd love to keep spending time with you once this is all over if that's what you want as well.' He replies.
'Good answer.' She says smiling as she rests her hand on his chest.
'So what are you wanting?' He asks.
'I really like you and I really like what we've got going on. I want to see where it goes.' She replies.
'Stay with me tonight?' She asks and he nods his head.
'Of course.' He replies.

'Demi...' Kelsey says softly as she makes her way into the hotel room and finds them both asleep curled up in the bed. She's suspected for a while, just like everyone else, that something has been going on with them but she assumed it was just about sex.
'I'm awake.' Demi mumbles.
'You need to be ready to leave in ninety minutes... Both of you.' Kelsey says before leaving the room. Rolling onto her stomach, Demi smiles as she runs her hand down Kris' chest.
'Wake up, babe.' She says softly.
