My Beautiful Boy~Demi Lovato Adopt

Part 9

After Ace was dressed and ready, hair combed back like a gentleman he followed Demi out of the house quietly, keeping his head low as she clambered into the drivers seat. He opened the door and gazed at her, as she was checking her mirrors and everything someone would do on a driving test, but she seemed to do every time she got in a car. Did someone like her really love someone like him? She couldn't right? She was just using him for publicity... or did she actually worry about the boy?

He shook the thoughts from his head and hopped in, carefully buckling himself in. He sighed and messed with the radio, finally giving up and just putting it on a random channel.

"I have an aux cord you know?" Demi was holding a black cord out as he looked up at her. She had a pleasant smile on her face, and what looked like love in her eyes. He took it and thanked her quietly, plugging it into his phone and shuffling his music.

As they drove to whatever dinner that they were heading too, the two rocked out to all the songs, preforming in car duets, and even just losing it over some of the songs on his phone. (Demi really liked Wobble and almost ran them off the road.)

They finally pulled into a large parking lot. Ace glanced at the name, some sushi place he had never heard about before. He just shrugged at himself and waited until Demi got out of the car to follow suit and hop onto his feet. His stomach twisted as the cameras flashed and he couldn't move, he couldn't breathe. Everything was hazy as Demi ushered him inside and to a table she knew well. She held out a pair of headphones, his headphones, where did she get them? His movements were robotic as she grabbed them and shoved them in his ears.

15 minutes later people started to show up, Ace was resting his head on the table, one earbud out chatting quietly with Demi about random things she enjoyed about being famous and things she didn't really like about it. First was Selena. She gave her a small smile and waved her over, not pausing in the words she was saying to Ace.

"I love being able to help people, but I hate having almost no privacy. Like, I can't even go to the gym without getting bombarded with press."

"You said it Dems." Selena chimed in, Ace glances up, shifting from looking at Demi to watching Selena as she sat across from them.

Ace stopped paying attention as the two women started talking among themselves, tapping his foot lightly to the music in his ear. His body lurched as he felt a tap on his shoulder, he looked up to see Simon Cowell.

"You are the new Lovato, are you not?" Ace nodded a bit.

"Adrian. I go by Ace though." The boy sat up and held out a hand, Simon took it and then sat down next to the boy.

Hours went by, Ace hadn't spoken much, but Demi stayed chatting with her friends. The boys heart raced, watching everyone, reading their lips if he couldn't hear them, waiting for someone to say that Demi should leave him. That he wasn't worth the trouble that Ace gave everyone in his life. But from what he could see, no one ever said anything of the sort.

The boy sleepily scrolled through his phone for a while, eyes drooping. "Hey mate? Tired?" Zayn Malik chimed in tapping the table in front of Ace casually.

Ace just nodded, not really having the energy to reply.

"Ay, Dems?" Zayn looked at Demi and then pointed to Ace as she looked at him, "I'll take him back to your house, m'kay?" Demi glanced at Ace, who gave her pleading eyes, then nodded a little. Ace stood with Zayn and they made their way out to a car. A nice car.

"Mate? Do you have your license?"

"Im 13." Ace rolled his eyes, "But I know how to drive." He said quietly.

"Go on then."

Ace nodded and without hesitation hopped in the front seat.
