Demi's pov
There was a locked knock on my door.
"Who is it?" I called standing up from my couch.
The last thing I wanted was to open the door and it be a paparazzi or someone else who shouldn't be in the neighborhood here to collect some more information on me.
"It's me," Phil called through the door. "I brought a friend," he added.
I was skeptical at first but decided to open the door anyways because at this time I really just needed support. I didn't want to be alone. I felt attacked and hated by the entire world. Loneliness was a dangerous place for me and right now was not a good time for me to be alone.
I took a deep breath as I opened my door and braces myself to let out all of my emotions.
"I'm so glad you were able to make i-," I suddenly stopped in my tracks when I saw Joe looking at me with apologetic eyes as he stood beside Phil.
I gulped as my stomach began to do cartwheels. I wasn't sure how to react. What was he doing here? I was feeling a mix between anger because of how he had left things between us and the current situation. Yet, at the same time I still felt like some unexplainable excitement to see him.
"Relax Demi," Phil said before I had the chance to shut down his plans. "We come in peace," he said.
I finally caught up to reality and remembered what was going on. I remember that Joe was married and that the entire world hated me and that there was no amount of apologies or PR damage control that could fix this right now.
"No, I don't care. I don't want any part of this and I don't care to be around him," I said glaring at Joe with the death eye.
"Demi please, just hear us out," Phil said.
It was silent as I realized that unfortunately the ball was in my court. My mind played back to the first time that I was ever this mad at Joe.

Jonas Brothers Tour, Ohio
"Okay guy, be ready for rehearsal in five," Phil said to Joe and I poking his head backstage.
"Are you almost done with the mirror princess?" Joe asked.
I rolled my eyes as I continued to spray hair spray into my hair and roll gloss all over my lips just purposely being in front of the mirror to piss him off.
