Shadow (sequel to Will You Be My Superman)

Confident chapter 10.

EDITED
Demi's pov-

Another successful night of being the opening act for Enrique Inglesias has ended. Paige has been having panic attacks every time we're outside. It worries me honestly.

"Mom hold my hand and don't go near the street," Paige commands as we walk to the tour bus just outside the venue.

"Okay mom." I laugh at her. She looks at me with a serious face which causes me to laugh even more.

We're barely half way to the bus when I feel Paige's hand grip my hand tighter. I listen to her breathing become rapid. Her pupils become wide and they are now full of fear. Every few seconds I watch her look around frantically.

"Paige it's fine calm dow-" But I cut myself off with a scream. Paige jumps probably a million feet in the air and screams along with me dragging me as far away as she could go.

Out of breath we reach the tour bus. "Why'd you scream. Nothing was there." Paige snaps looking annoyed.

"I saw, uh, a spider.."? I stutter.

"Is that a question or statement." She groans walking into the bus, "Learn to stop with your nonsense mom." She rolls her eyes flopping onto the our bed.

As usual Paige falls right to sleep on my bed in her jeans and sweater. Sighing, I plop next to her. I love being here in Europe but the fact that even goes outside cause my child to panic, I want to leave as soon as possible.

The next morning I wake up and right away know today will be a bad day. I rub the sleep away from eyes and trudge to pick an outfit to wear for soundcheck.

Picking sweats and a long sleeve zip-up navy blue sweater to wear to soundcheck. I look back to my bed to see Paige sleeping. I'll write a note for her to get ready and come to my dressing room when she's ready.

I finish writing the note and grab the outfit I'll change into for meet and greet, and walk cautiously to the venue.

While they were setting up the stadium I run up and down the stairs and then I hear a voice start to sing causing my sweaty face to glance up at the stage.

Who's trying to cover Nick and I's song? I continue to work out and the chorus of "Avalanche" begins. Once again looking up I see a special somebody standing on the stage with his hands on hips. Trying to act like a diva.

"Nick!" I screech running towards the stage. He jumps off the stage with two microphones in his hands.

"Care to join me?" He asks handing me a mic.

About 2 minutes later I'm holding the high note in "Avalanche" that wasn't there before. I get a single look of Nick and his eyes are filled with love and a huge smile is placed on his face. Finishing the note I drop the mic and walk over to Nick. I grab both sides of his head and kiss him passionately.

"I love you so much," he murmurs.

"Well I love you more than anything in the world." I reply with a soft smile.

"Great show guys, but heads up fans are out there and I, Paige Hiller, just got mobbed," She groans stomping her foot, but then immediately  looks down at her feet. She glances up at Nick and I. Her face looks like she just got put in time out for drawing on the wall? Did she do something wrong?

Out of the corner of my eye I see Nick looking at me carefully. Grabbing the microphone, I speak into it about to ask what's wrong, and then I realize it. She just called herself Paige Hiller.

"I'm sorry I don't know a Paige Hiller? Who's that again?" I giggle into the microphone watching color retrieve back to Paige's once ghost white face.

As I went to go get ready for meet and greet I had a queasy feeling in my stomach. Checking how I looked in the mirror I felt all of my self-esteem drop. I look too fat in this crop top. My arms look really jiggly. So do my thighs. Sighing I change into a black undershirt and leather jacket alone with black skinny jeans and combat boots.

"Why'd you change?" Nick wonders, walking to my side.

"I just didn't feel pretty," I mutter, looking down shamefully.

"But baby you're such a beautiful person. You have to be confident with who you are and how you look. Plus, you're hot and sexy and I will love you even when you don't feel beautiful," Nick says placing a kiss on my forehead. I smile at him, pushing him out so I can change into my outfit I had on before. Amazing how one person can change your feelings on something.

Nick's words made me feel confident and made me comfortable just the way I am. And I'm so grateful for that sexy ass human being.
