Collecting The Pieces

Demi's POV 

When I entered my house I put my back to the door and smiled. 

" Where were you? " I heard my mother call from the couch. The room was dark. 

" I was out with Joe " I answered with wide eyes. I had completely forgotten about my family today. 

" Demetria Devonne Lovato, it is ten o'clock at night and you had me worried sick! " she yelled at me standing up from the couch and heading towards me.

" I'm sorry mom, its just--" 

" I don't want to hear any excuses! Your curfew is at seven o'clock. What, do you think that you're a celebrity now that you don't have to follow the rules. Well your wrong missy! " she said now making her voice loud and firm. 

" Mom, I'm sor-- " 

" No more sorry's. As long as you live under this roof you are forbidden to see that boy! " she said walking away

" Mom! you can't do that! " i yelled back, a tear escaping my eye.

" Watch me! you have crossed the line! You were out until ten o'clock with some boy doing god knows what! " she said throwing her hands up in the air.

" Mom, we weren't doing anything bad! " i yelled back letting the tear escape. 

" And how would I know that? " She asked me throwing her hands up in the air again.

I stormed up to my room almost choking from my cries.

She couldn't do this. She couldn't keep me away from the only happiness in my life. I needed to cut, i needed to flush this anger out of my system. 

I remembered that I threw away my blade this afternoon. 

I went into my bathroom and grabbed a razor. I stepped on it to break away the plastic from all the little blades. Once it was broken, i kicked the other pieces under my bed, I grabbed one of the blades and pressed it onto my skin, i dragged it downwards. I realized that I had tears sliding down my cheeks.

Hoping i would bleed to death i laid on my bed watching the blood drip down my arm. 

Joe's POV 

I was pulling into my drive way when I noticed Nick walking up the block with his face full of dirt and his white button-up shirt with stain marks. 

" Nick! What the hell happened? " i asked him chuckling.

" Shut the hell up man. This is all your fault" he snapped back coming closer towards me. 

" How is it my fault?" I asked raising both eyebrows

" You took the damn car and I had to walk the forty-seven blocks! " he yelled now standing in front of me! 

" Sorry man, but why is your clothes and your face so nasty? " i asked crossing my arms

" A damn truck hid a puddle of mud and it drenched me " i responded 

I snickered. He winced at me and walked towards the front door. 

" Why did you leave the party like that? You looked very pissed!" he said changing the subject.

" A slutty girl from the line basically had clothes sex with me! " i said uncrossing my arms. 

" Wow! How did Demi take it? " he asked me raising his eyebrows

" I didn't tell her. " i responded heading towards to front door to meet him. 

" Such an amazing boyfriend " he said sarcastically. I wanted to punch him in the face. 

" Shut up man. " i snapped back wincing at him again. 

I wondered what Demi was doing at the moment. Probably getting ready to go to bed. I decided to call her, i mean, that's what boyfriend's do after their first date. Right?

I dialed her number and waited for her to pick up. 

Demi's POV 

Riiinnnnggg. Riiinnnnggg. 

I heard my phone ring and saw the caller ID. It was Joe.

I thought about not picking up but i loved him too much to do that. 

I pressed the green button and got ready for my conversation with the boy of my dreams.

" Hello " i said in a croaky voice

" Hi love, its Joe " he sounded pretty amused

" Hi baby. " I replied sobbing.

" Are you ok? Were you crying? " he asked sounding worried.

" Uh, no " i lied

" Then why are you sobbing? Please, Demi, if you are feeling down just tell me. " he replied, i started hearing music in the background. 

" I'm fine " i lied again. I couldn't possibly tell Joe that i wasn't aloud to see him anymore. I noticed the blood all over my arm and dropped the phone on the floor. 

" Demi? Demi? " i heard Joe say impatiently through the phone.

I quickly got a kleenex and wiped my arm. I picked up the phone 

" Uh, i gotta go " i said. I felt my heart beating so fast i thought it might explode. 

" No! Demi! I'm coming over " he said. What was I going to do? My boyfriend was coming over at almost eleven o'clock at night and my mother forbid me from seeing him ever again. I really wished that I was dead at the moment.
