Who's That Girl? (Demi Fanfic)

(25) Relax.

Demi POV

"Well? What are you gonna do?" Y/n asked. I move to her ear and whisper. "Relax, baby." I move slowly to kiss her soft lips. "Get some rest. I love you." I say cuddling up to her as close as I could. "Why are you acting so weird? You just sounded like you were trying to seduce me and now you're telling me to get some rest." She says curiously sitting up.

"I mean, yeah...but you need to get as much sleep as possible. You have a lot of things going on." I reply and she just sighs. "You have music to write, you have studio time, you have meetings, you have rehearsals, and I could go on. I have a daughter to raise, I have court soon, I have an ex that even though he's behind bars that makes me jump no matter who it is behind me, and I have a girlfriend that worries too-."

Before she can finish that sentence I interrupted her. "I worry too much? What if I didn't worry at all? What if I wasn't trying to help you? I have a lot of 'What ifs' but I worry about you and Aly more than I do my own career. I don't know how I juggle it all but I do. For my family and myself." I started to get a little heated but kept my cool and continued. "And for you and Aly. I don't want you to have to worry about him or when he gets released. But until we go to court, that's what you need to do. Rest."

She is frozen. I've never been this way towards her. Ever. She isn't speaking, so I try to. "Will you please just do as I say? For once. Please, rest. Please, get some sleep."

"I'm sorry. You're right. I didn't mean to-." She began. "No, baby. You don't have to apologize. Come here." I say embracing her in a hug start to lay down. "I love you." She says. "I love you, baby."

Waking up this morning and Y/n isn't there. I didn't remember falling asleep last night but I remember the little....argument? I don't know what you would call it, but I got up and got dressed to find out where she was. First, I checked Aly's room. Not Y/n, not Aly were there. Weird. I kinda started to panic but once I got down stairs there they were, fast asleep on the couch with the tv on listening to soft music.

I smile at the two beautiful girls that lie there. It made me wonder if Y/n even got any rest last night. There's no telling. So, I just let them both sleep while I call my lawyer to see if he's heard anything about the trail.

Still, nothing but he feels that the judge and jury will side with us if Aly were to testify against Colt. Which is very true, but I'm 100% sure Y/n will disagree on letting her daughter see her father like that. I disagree as well, but I told him I'll relay the option to her.

I waited in the kitchen for Y/n to wake up, it was only 9:30AM but I ordered pizza for lunch. After I got off the phone with the pizza guy Y/n and Aly walked in.

"Good morning, beautifuls." I said to the both of them. "Morning!" Aly smiled. "Hey, Aly. I ordered pizza for lunch." I cooed. "Really?!" She jumped. "Okay. May I go in the piano room til then?" She asked. "Yes, you may." I smile. With that she sprints to the other room.

"Hey. You okay?" I ask Y/n. "Yeah, I just didn't get much sleep last night." She says sitting down on the bar stool. "How come you came down here last night?" I said curiously. "Aly had a bad dream so I brought her down here." She replied. "You could've woke me up and I would've gotten dressed that way you both could've came back to sleep in our bed." I said.

"I know." She said. That kinda hurt. "I talked to the lawyer this morning." I began. "He thinks for the judge and jury to be 100% on our side that Aly should take the stand."

Her eyes got big. "No. That's never gonna happen. She already saw him attack Aly's babysitter, me, you, me hit him, him being taken away by police for the second time. I'm not putting her through seeing him in a court room in handcuffs with nearly everyone watching. No." She spat.

"Baby, I wasn't agreeing with him. I was just to relay what he said to you so don't start getting angry with me." I said calmly. "I'm sorry." She said running her hands through her hair. "But the answer is no." She continued.

"Something else is bothering you other than the trail. What is it?" I ask. She sighs and waits a moment to respond. "Why didn't you ever tell me about your dad?" She asked. "What are you talking about? You met him, he was at dinner with us-." I tried finishing but she cut in. "No. Not Eddie. Your biological dad."

"My mom told you about him, didn't she?" I asked. "Why didn't you tell me? I know you are hurt about it all, I know that's a reason why you are so close to Aly because you felt the way she feels. Your mom didn't tell me much, but she did say that it's similar to what she went through." She said.

"I don't know why I didn't tell you about him. I don't like talking much about him, I never did."  I sigh. "I opened up to you about my parents. I only knew you for a couple months. I know it's a sensitive topic but so was mine. What hurts me more is that I didn't find this out until almost a year into us dating." She says. I just look down without saying a word.

"You can talk to me. Whenever you told me about your relapse I was there. Why can't I be there for you with this?" She spoke. I wait a minute to finally speak. "H-he died a few years back." I whispered. "Wha-?" "I said he died,
Y/n!" I snapped. "He's gone! Is that what you want to hear?!" I yell. "Demi, please calm down. I didn't know. I'm sorry." Y/n tried to putting her hand on my shoulder to comfort me but I swat it away and she flinches.

"I need to go." I say walking into the living room. "What? Why?" Y/n says while following. "Because." I try to stay calm. "But where are you going?" Her voice is sincere but for some reason I don't care. "Out." With that I grab my car keys and walk out of the house.

I hear Y/n yelling for me to come back but I block her out slamming my car door shut and sped off.

The car ride I just think to myself, why I didn't tell her about my dad. It would've been better then keeping it to myself. I yelled at her and the fear in her eyes was all it took for me. I caused that fear, all because I was bottling shit up. Not, that I didn't want her to know about my dad but because I didn't want her to feel sorry for me. Like they say, 'Shit happens'.

I was out for awhile. All I know is it was dark when I got home. I had hundreds of text messages and calls from Y/n but they were all left on read. As soon as I walked through that door there she was.

"Where the hell were you? I was worried! You didn't answer my phone calls or any of my texts!" She said. I didn't say a word and just walked right passed her. I'm not mad at her I just don't want to snap. It's not her fault.

"Please, Demi. Please talk to me." She begged.
"I'm not mad at you." I sigh. "Then why are you acting like this. I'm sorry, I brought it up. I didn't know." She said about to put her hand on my shoulder like she did before but she was scared. "No, it's okay. I'm sorry for not telling you. It's a very tough subject to talk about." I sigh.

We sat there in silence until I looked up at the clock. 1AM. "You should get to bed." I sigh. "What about you?" She asked. "Demi, you are not sleeping alone tonight. You were just gone for over 10 hours with me worried about you." She said putting her hand out for me to take. I don't know why she'd be so nice to me after I practically screamed in her face.

I took her hand and she led me up the stairs to our bedroom. She laid down with me then cuddled me. Protecting me. Comforting me. "I love you, Demi. I know, you didn't mean to react that way." She whispered softly. "Just because you say it's okay doesn't make it okay. I was wrong for doing that, I was wrong for leaving and not answering my phone. I'm sorry." I replied.

She kissed my temple and squeezed me tight. "I love you too." I whispered.
