Give Me Love // jemi

chapter 14

(Demi's pov)
I honestly was the happiest woman alive. I'd been a happily married woman for a month and 4 days. to the most amazing man in the world. I felt like a princess.

I looked in the mirror and finished my lipstick then stared at myself one more time before grabbing my keys. in a few minutes it would be off to work i go. "you look beautiful Hun." joe said to me. I smiled and looked over at him laying in bed. "thanks baby." i told him.

I grabbed my keys and a sharpie and went to my calendar to mark off the date. September 27, 2014. I looked ahead and saw an upcoming event joe had made. 2 weeks until he goes back over seas. This time he'll be in Iraq. Very far from me. I sighed. This time he'll be gone for 4 months.

I stared at joe in the bed as he went back to sleep. I'm going to miss him so much. I grabbed my guitar case and keys and headed out the apartment door. Hopefully this day will go by fast.

I was singing the words to the song. "I knew better then to let you break my-" I felt my stomach go in a knot and my jaw clenched. "heart" my voice squeaked out. I knew what was about to happen.

I ran to the staff room and found the nearest trash can and let it out. "Demi," my manager, Trish, started. "this is the third time this week. Why don't you make a doctors appointment for yourself?" he patted me on the back. "But-but I can't afford to take off. I need the money." I begged.

which I did. being a newly wed it's tight. money is tight for us. and I don't like joe having to use his army checks on us. I know he wants to go to art school with that. If it were just me supporting us, we would've probably lost our apartment by now.

There's barely any food in the cabinets. we gave up the Internet, cable, and Netflix. We're getting by, just not the way I want us too.

Trish sighed. "Demi. you need to take care of yourself. I'll give you three days or you're fired. I can't have you throwing up like this." she said. I nodded. "take the rest of today off and GO TO the doctor." she said. I nodded and gathered my stuff.
