Ch.8 On The Line

Demi's POV

I walked back inside and Cher was waiting for me.

"I was going to say sorry. I-", I cut her off. "Its okay. Just please dont do it again..To anyone." She nodded.

"Okay who's ready to get back on tour?!?", I shouted with half-hearted excitement. All I could think about was when I was going to see Mia again.

❀ 5 Months Later ❀

Mia's POV

Me & Demi talked almost everyday after that. She called me after every show and i called her between my classes and lunch breaks from work. We were getting really close, practically dating.

I was going to get two months off of school for summer break which just happened to start right around the time Demi's tour ended. We worked it out and i was going to spend my summer vacation with her! Im driving down to her house tomorrow.

I was on my way home from receiving my last paycheck from work when Demi called me. I plugged it into the radio and answered.

"Heeeyyyy", i said.

"Hey sunshine. How's you day going?"

"Eh, okay. On my way home. Tomorrow cant come fast enough."

I imagined her smiling through the phone. "

Yeess. I cant wait to see you!", she squealed.

"Me, neither."

"And i have something very important to ask you."

I raised my eyebrows. "Really? What?"

"Wait and see."

I sighed. What was she going to ask me?...

'You know what she's gonna ask you' , my inner voice said. Oh no. No. If she wanted to date me she would've asked already. We've been talking to each other for 5 months! I didnt even wanna let myself think th-

"Hellooo. Miaaa??"

I jumped at the sound of her voice.

"Uh, yeah. Yeah. Im right here", i said.

She laughed. "Well i gotta go. Im meeting Selena for an early dinner. I'll see you tomorrow and drive safely!"

"I will. Byee", i said.

"Bye" The line clicked off and my radio went dead.

As soon as i got home, i put a container of frozen PF Chang's Chinese food in the microwave. Then i ate and slid into my bed.

I was determined to go to sleep early so that tomorrow would come faster. Or at least that's what i thought would happen. I ended up staying awake all night because my excitement just wouldn't calm down enough to let me sleep.

I paced the room, ran in place trying to get my legs tired enough so that i would fall asleep instantly. Nothing worked. I felt like a kid that was so excited to go to Disneyland, they stayed awake all night thinking of all the cool stuff that would be there. Demi was my Disneyland in a way.

Giving up on exercising, i climbed under my covers and put on the TV. Golden Girls, my favorite nighttime show, was on so i settled into my pillows and surprisingly was out by 12 o'clock.

❀ Morning ❀

Something kept beeping. It was loud and annoying. I turned over in my sleep hoping to get away from the sound, but it beeped louder and closer to my ear now.

I opened one eye and squinted from the sunlight peeking through the blinds. The beeping was coming from my alarm clock. Oh, yeah i was supposed to get up early and do something today...what was it again?
