C.W.B. (A Niall and Demi Fan Fiction)

"Are you two up for it?" Ray-Ray asked.

It may have been six completely simple words to everyone else, but it's a shock to Demi. 

It was unthinkable to be paired with an Irish prick. At least, that’s what Demi thought. What to publicists agreed to was like a nightmare for the two celebrities.

 It was shocking and Demi could feel her face soul fading away. She needs to focus on her career. And to think, just two weeks ago, Demi was still happily enjoying judging on the X Factor, and now One Direction is back in the U.S. and Niall's coming back with all the arrogance he's got.

Demi stood up. "No. I refuse. I decline. I will not do this!" 

Niall was simply sitting right beside her, trying his best to just ignore everything. Ray-Ray and Tyra were across them.

Tyra stood up as well. "Demetria Devonne Lovato!" 

Demi sat back down and groaned. Why was it that whenever an adult called your full name you know things are about to get serious? Was that what adults made second names for? For awareness?

"You're going to stay friends for one more month and if you won’t, we will announce it ourselves that you're dating after that!"

"Look, Ray—something, I can't. I just—I need to focus on my career, and I don't want a leprechaun to just bring me down like that!" Demi tried to reason with Ray-Ray and Tyra.

"I'm sorry, Demi. But it wouldn't hurt for you two to get a little more publicity won't it?" Ray-Ray said sympathetically.

Demi was out of words. She knew she was over reacting but she can't take it anymore. It's gone too far.

"So, we have to spend a month, being good friends and maybe holding hands occasionally? You're making me lie to my fans." Niall finally spoke up. 

Niall looked angry as well, he couldn’t agree to this. He really never thought that there has been a number of celebrities here and there just faking, the rest of the boys who aren't single are in a real relationship and he would rather be single than fake a relationship. 

He didn't mind it being Demi, because after all, he really did have a crush on her. He liked her, despite how cocky she can get at the name-calling thing on skype and everything. It always seemed fun. And knowing that he was one of the few people that got to see her angry side was like an honor to Niall.

"But you are good friends, right Niall?"

"Yes, we are." Demi rolled her eyes. Of course Niall wasn’t planning to reveal his alter ego."But that doesn't mean we can just date and later on break up!"

"We're sorry, but we've settled it and that was the only reason we gathered you two here" Tyra said sincerely.

"Thanks Tyra, for showing us even celebs can't make their own decisions." Demi stood up and left the room. She's tired of it, she really is. Being a celebrity has always been hard for her. There was really no point in dreaming anymore was there? She should’ve just expected the worst like she always had.

Demi went over to a vending machine right outside the building they gathered in. She inserted a dollar bill and got a water bottle. She drank three long gulps, and a quarter of the bottle was already empty. She curled up in a ball to feel a bit more comfortable and looked up at the sky.
