Joe:

The next morning, I woke up with Demi on my chest. We fell asleep on the couch last night watching a movie I guess. I checked the time on my watch. "Shit!" I cursed.

Demi sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What?" she asked me in the middle of a yawn.

"My parents will be wondering where I am! I have to go... I'll text you," I kissed her lips.

"Alright, good luck!" she yawned again. She was so cute. I grabbed my things and rushed back home.

I quietly went inside my house. "Hey, brother," Nick smirked.

"Um, hey..." I scratched my head, trying to act cool.

"Where were you?" Nick snickered, " I haven't seen you for days." 

"Come here," I led him to my room and shut the door, "I took Demi to our island and when we came home yesterday, we went to a party together."

"Oh, shit," Nick smirked once again, "so you spent the night?"

"Yeah, but not like that... we fell asleep while we were watching a movie... we're not there yet." I shrugged as I started taking off my clothes.

"Is she your girlfriend? Are you going to invite her to the ball?"

I sighed, "She is my girlfriend, obviously... but I don't know if I'm ready to ask her to go with me... I mean we both agreed to keep it on the down-low." 

"It's any but down-low though," Nick grabbed my TV remote and turned on E!, "that's very down-high."

I watched the people take about how I finally have a girl and she's grinding on me. There were pictures and videos of us. I groaned.

"Someone had to call the press and tell them that we were there... but seriously, Demi wants us to be quiet about us for right now which I respect that," I turn off my TV.

"Do you respect it?" Nick asked.

"If it's up to me, I want the whole world to know about us. I like her that much and I'm tired of the reputation of me being a 'player'." 

"This relationship is new... give it time for her to adjust and maybe she'll be ready to let the world know," Nick gave me a pat on my back.

"Hopefully because I really feel like I could love this woman...," I shrugged as I changed into sweats and a shirt.

"Wow...woah...," Nick was speechless. I laughed a little.

"So tomorrow, the family is going to do this community service thing... are you in? The Queen said you don't have to go..."

I shook my head, "I'm gonna have to pass on this one... Two days after this video of Demi & I... I don't think it's a good idea for me to be with the press but send my regards." 

"Alright, I'll let them know," he headed out of my room, "I'm happy for you, bro-bro."

I laid on my bed and got my phone out.

Just saw the video of us at the party... makes me upset with whoever violated our privacy and making me look this bad... :(

"Fuck!" I threw my head back, "fuck this royalty bullshit!" I cursed again.

"Why are you so pissed?" Sophie walks in.

I sighed, "hold on..." I concentrated on my phone.

I know... I'm sorry, baby... I wish I could make it go away... I wish I was normal... 
I texted Demi back
