Torn

Chapter 27

Annie's POV

"What do we do now?" Bea asked.

Bea, me, and Mads were sprawled across Beas hotel bed, just staring at the ceiling.

"I dunno," I sighed.

"Well," Madison said, standing up, "I'm going to go get my shower over with."

"Have fun!" I called after her.

I waited until I heard the door closed and I sat straight up and looked at Bea who was playing on her phone.

"Bea.. I think I have a plan. But I need your help.."

Catching her attention, she locked her phone and sat up so she was sitting across from me. "I'm listening.."

"Well.. Okay, you swear you won't tell anyone?"

"Cross my heart," she promised.

"Demi, last night, said she wanted to start drinking a little here and their again.. And I feel like the only way to make her realize she needs to stop is.. Well, I want to.. Have a drink," I breathed out, "but I don't want to drink... But I feel like that's the only way and-"

"Stop talking," Bea said, standing up, "I have an amazing idea. I'm a genius!"

"What is it?"

"Well.. I can't tell you, silly. You'll just have to find out tomorrow!" She flipped down on the bed and started smiling like an idiot to herself.

"I'm scared," I laughed, "but don't mention anything to Madison or she'll freak shit."

"Oh, it's cool. I won't say anything to anyone."

I nodded. This plan, whatever it may be, better work because I don't think I'll be able to deal if Demi starts drinking. I really hope Beas plan doesn't include like hard liquor or alcohol, because as much as I would love to teach Demi a lesson, id rather do it sober.

"Annie," Bea shook me, "Wake up!"

"What?" I mumbled, rubbing my eyes.

"Come on, we only have so much time!"

I sat up and saw an anxious Bea jumping up and down.

"Annie Marie Lovato, Marissa Callahan and Demi Lovato are about to walk in this room in 10.5 minutes and you have 3.1 seconds to get your ass up!"

I jumped up to Bea and tried steadying myself because I was literally half asleep and she probably woke me up before ten and I'm about to get real pissy.

"What's your idea?" I asked, "Where's Madison? And why is Marissa and Demi coming in here?"

"I'll answer you after you see my idea, come on!"

I followed Bea into the kitchen and saw a wine bottle sitting proud on the counter. "Bea..."

"Shh. Listen!" She walked over to the wine bottle and waved her hand in front of it like she was on the price is right and said, "I like to call this Cranberry juice."

I'm pretty positive that's wine I'm looking at.

"Bea-"

She coughed and then pointed to a small printed word that read nonalcoholic.

"So, what's the plan?" I asked.

"The plan is we're going to leave this out here and we're gonna hide. When Marissa and Demi walk in, they'll see it. Boom." Bea said.
