Nicks's POV
I saw the sparkle in Demi's eyes after I finished singing hello beautiful. There was a sparkle that had never been there. Not even when she was laughing with that gorgeous laugh she had. It was a sparkle of hope. Hope that she would be happy, that she would be happy for the first time in what felt like forever. I had hope too, her sparkle, and just Demi in general left me in such awe all I could do was stare and smile when I was around her.
When Demi hugged me while we were cleaning up after everyone had left i felt sparks. Kind of geeky I know but this was different, I had never had a girl hug me and have me feel so many emotions at once. It's crazy to think one human being could cause this, that one human being could make you feel like you were the only two in the room. But Demi did that to me, and I never wanted to let her go. I wouldn't let her go.
After we finished cleaning up, we got a ride from my mom to Demi's house her family was going out to dinner and he wanted me to join them. I couldn't wait, I felt so happy and alive when I was with them. It sadden me to know that Demi was hurting so much, because she didn't deserve any of it. She was the sweetest, most beautiful person I knew. I didn't know what the bully's did to her when she was younger, I didn't really know anything about her past, I only knew her now. I didn't mind not knowing because I could feel tears coming from the side of my eyes just thinking about it. I hadn't known Demi for long but I knew we had a connection, I cared so much about her I thought my heart would explode from all the love I had for her.
I wasn't usually someone who was a player, I had a few girlfriends before I met Demi but none had a connection like we did. I was willing to do what ever it took to save her, for her to become mine. I just wanted to hold her in my arms anytime I wanted. I had no idea if she liked me back, I had a few signs but none that really jumped out at me.
We were all sixteen still teenagers, Demi now still had her bangs and she looked so cute everytime I saw her. But sometimes it hurt to see her, because I knew what she was going through I think I was the only one who knew. I found out on accident. Apart from that it hurt to see her because she was moving on without me. She had a boyfriend now. It broke my heart everytime I saw them together, and I couldn't do anything about it.
A few weeks later though I wasn't so sad but still broke my heart. Demi and her boyfriend named Cody broke up, and she was heart broken. I wasn't as sad that they broke up but it sucked to see her so upset. The night they broke up she called me in tears and I rushed over to her house, bringing 3 tubs of icecream and some of our favorite movies. When I arrived she was in her room crying into her pillow, in the bathroom I saw a blade but no blood. I saw something that caught my eye it was white and there was a lot of it.
I didn't know Demi did any drugs, she didn't look like the type to. I ignored it though and went to her and held her in my arms as she cried. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever, when she finally stopped crying I asked her what happened. She caught her breath from sobbing, and looked so broken I felt tears coming into my eyes.
She told me how they went on a date that night, it seemed like any other date to her. They went to their favorite diner, had their usuals. Demi a small salad, Cody a burger with cheese. When they finished eating Cody took her hand and looked into her eyes and said "I can't do this anymore Dems"
Demi of course was taken back by this. She thought everything was alright. She thought everything was perfect for them. Cody then explained how he couldn't date her anymore, how he didn't like kissing her, how he just wanted her for something else. Demi being the smart girl that she is, said no when Cody had asked her to take it to the next step. Now she was crying even harder as she explained they terrible events that happened to her first real relationship. Demi told me how she slapped Cody and then ran all the way home sobbing.
Over the next few weeks Demi wasn't the same, she wore black a lot, kept to herself, looked lifeless. You didn't hear Demi's beautiful laugh unless she was on set. Or if she was pretending she was alright infront of all our friends. Which bothered me because she was using her acting to cover up her pain that I saw right through.
When Christmas rolled around everyone was all smiles, passing out gifts, eating cookies, and drinking hot chocolate. Mine and Demi's family got together that first christmas we had together. It was fun and we all had a blast.
The next few months went by like a breeze, now it was the middle of April the year was 2009. We were almost done making Camp rock it would be out that July. And we were all beyond excited. Demi was alittle happier now, from how she was last year. Demi would be turning 17 as would I. Demi looked absolutely beautiful every single time I saw her and I tried not to stare, but my eyes would always find her if we were in a big crowd.
That night we all were finishing a few scenes that needed to be finished, and we got an announcement that we would be going a Camp Rock Summer tour. We were all so happy, thinking out tour meant more time with Demi. Our friendship got stronger over the past few months and I couldn't be happier. When you were around her you felt happy, and like nothing would ever go wrong. But they did. They always did.
Tour came and some nights it was all I dreamed of, and some nights were all but that. One night in particular everything was wrong, me and Demi had a fight about something I can't even remember now something that felt so important then. We were talking about what Cody, how she wanted him back even after what he said to her months before. She was 10x broken when they broke up why would she want him back. It made no sense to me what so ever. And I made that clear to her. This was one thing I didn't support at all, and once I said that she went off. She yelled at me for what seemed like hours, but was only 5 minuets. By they time she was done yelling she was crying hysterically, and I couldn't be mad at her when she was crying. I ran to where was on the floor and held her until we had to leave to go onstage. When we came off stage I apologized to her, and she apologized back. She said she shouldn't have gone off on me like that, that I was just protecting her and that she understood. We had a few shows left until they end of the Camp Rock Tour and I couldn't wait to be home. Before I left Demi in her room for the night, since we were talking about everything it seemed I whispered to her that she couldn't go back to Cody. That she couldn't go back to him because I loved her. I loved her a much that it hurt to see her cry, and to see new red lines on her arms it hurt so much that at night I would cry for hours about it all.
After I closed the door to her room I was in my own bunk and cried about everything that Demi was going through. This girl that I loved so much was in so much pain and I couldn't do anything about it. When I was about to drift off to sleep I heard a small knock at my door when I didn't say anything because I had no idea anyone was even up at this time, a small figure appeared in the door way. Demi said in the quietest voice I had ever heard come from her "Can I stay in here with you, I had a terrible dream." I nodded frantically and she closed the door and came into my open arms pulling her into a hug. I didn't want to ask what her terrible dream was about thinking she deserved a much needed rest. I was comforting her, when I felt her breathing slow down and looked at her pale face fast asleep. It was a beautiful thing to see I couldn't help but smile, everytime I saw her chest rise and fall. Demi was happy when she was with me, and she looked so happy when she was asleep at rest from the world. After a few minuets of watching her peacefully sleep I fell asleep my self. We fell asleep in each other's arms that night.
