Cher and Demi

Talking it through

I just wanted to let any people who read this know that I'm sorry it takes me so long to update between chapters. I'm not the best writer in the world and I struggle to get the ideas from my head written down so usually I end up writing and rewriting until things make sense, English was always my weakest subject at school. Anyway I'll try post a chapter every week, that might change though when I go back to uni. Please leave comments if you can so i know how you feel about the story and how i can improve. Well anyway here is the next chapter.

Chapter 3

Cher's POV

Why why why did Demi have to say that. Urghh she liked the kiss. I mean when she first asked me to feature on really don't care I was so happy, I was going to be singing with my girl crush, how many people get to do that?!? I'm so confused right now. I'm with Craig and I'm happy and nothing can ruin that. I had to leave when she said that, I needed to think, I needed time to sort out my own head before I even tried to help Demi sort out her. I did need to go see her though and tell her I'm sorry for walking out on her, it was just what she said came as a shock and I was not expecting that at all. I hadn't made it far when I left her dressing room, I was quite literally still stood outside it. I knew I had to talk to her now before we both left to go to another interview together because I didn't want to make it awkward for either of us or the interview. I could hear Demi crying hard inside her dressing room, I knew I had to talk to her and quickly.

Demi's POV

I want Cher. I need Cher. I just want to be friends again with Cher. One thing I had worked out already was I couldn't have Cher hating me. I really wanted to go and find her and check she was alright because I had no clue why she had just walked out, well I had an idea why, she hates me. The only thing I could do right now was cry. I must have been crying for about five minutes before I heard a faint 'Demi' at the door, I looked up and saw Cher standing there and she looked like she had been crying too.

Cher's POV

I finally worked up the courage to walk back into her dressing room, I could hear her crying which made me cry because I didn't want to think that I had made her cry by walking out on her. When I saw her my heart broke, she was curled in a ball on the sofa crying, and all I could whisper was 'Demi,' she looked at me and gave me a faint smile. That was all it took, I ran to her and hugged her, her smile was all I needed to forget everything. I tried to calm her down and I could feel her calming. I looked down at her and said 'I think we need to talk' and she just nodded knowing that I was right. Demi sat up and kept opening her mouth as if she was trying to talk to me but she couldn't, so I told her to take her time and she nodded again before finally starting. 'Cher, I don't really know what to say. I'm really confused, it started when Alan was talking to us and when you said you had kissed a girl before and I hadn't so all that was going through my head was I wonder what it will be like. And after that I really don't know what happened, one minute I was thinking about just kissing a girl and then a minute later you popped into my head and that really freaked me out, I had never thought about kissing you before that and then that was all I could think about. When we preformed i don't know what came over me, you were dancing and I just wanted to know what your lips felt like' she blushed.

Demi's POV

I told her the first part, about what went through my head then, I hadn't told her what was going through my head now, I didn't even know if she wanted to know. She looked up at me 'Demi it's okay, I'm not angry at you for kissing me, the only thing that concerns me is why you did it while we were on TV, could you not have waited until after and talked to me about it and i probably would have said just kiss me' I was shocked at her comment towards the whole thing but she continued talking 'so demi what's going through that head of yours now? I'll tell you what's going through mine if you tell me first what's going through yours.' I shook my head I couldn't tell her, she looked disappointed as if she needed to know. I sighed and knew I had to tell her, I looked up at her face and quickly back down at my hands before starting, 'my head right now, well it's so messed up and confused' she nodded as if she understood exactly what I meant. 'Cher I'm sorry if I scared you when I said I liked this kiss but it was the truth, even though it was short it was much better than the kisses Ive shared with men in the past. I don't know what else to tell you because I'm not sure of the rest myself so I don't really want to share that with you until I know myself.' I couldn't believe I'd just told her all other that, she looked sort of relieved at what I'd told her, I needed to know what she was thinking now especially after what I had just said, 'so Cher tell me what your thinking.'

Cher's POV

Do I tell her what's really going through my head or do I lie to her. She must have read my thoughts because she said 'please Cher tell me the truth, what is going through your head and don't lie to me because i can tell when your lying!' I knew I had to tell her the truth but where to start, 'Right Demi I'm going to tell you some things and I want you to listen and don't interrupt me until I'm finished please,' she nodded so I began 'When i was younger I watched the disney channel and sonny with a chance was my favourite show, let's just say one of my girl crushes was on you. When you started to release music I still loved you and had a crush on you, but it was just a silly little school girl crush and that's what it still is. When I heard you wanted to collaborate I didn't have to think twice about the answer, I had to say yes. The first time I met you, that day I left the meeting early, I was ill, I had worked myself up so much and I was so nervous and so excited to meet you but the nerves got to me and it made me ill. By the next time I met you I had somehow got rid of the nerves and we were on track to be great friends. As time passed we became closer, we recorded the track and shot the video and we were closer than ever. My girl crush was still there but I had learned to live with it, at the same time I was happy with Craig and that hasn't changed I still am happy with Craig,' Demi looked disappointed when I said this and was about to say something but I just shook my head and continued, 'when today came around I felt no different about the whole thing until the second I noticed you look at my lips during the interview and I almost froze, I could tell what you were thinking about from then. As much as I wanted you to kiss me I hoped you didn't because if you did it i knew it would mess up my head so much, which it has. When you kissed me my world froze a moment a girl could only dream of, as much as I wanted to kiss you I knew I had to pull away and when you ran off I was scared. I followed you but you locked yourself away. You want to know what I'm feeling now with it all, I feel overwhelmed. I'm feeling every emotion possible, I'm angry with you, I'm so happy we kissed, I'm excited at the kiss and loads more but I'm also confused, half the feelings I'm feeling I shouldn't be feeling and I shouldn't be feeling them for you.' I finished and looked at Demi, I couldn't be more relieved to tell her everything but I needed her to say something, she looked up and whispered 'Cher I think I like you more than I should and I don't know if I can stop feeling like this,' I knew I would regret the words that I would say next, 'then don't Demi, embrace the feelings and don't be afraid of them' and with that I leaned in and kissed her.
