You're Magnificent (Demi Lovato Fanfic)

You're Magnificent (Chapter 17)

{Gaby's P.O.V}

Well Demi's officially work free.

At the moment, I'm sitting in the living room, playing with Buddy while Demi's out with her family.

I have my phone on the counter, loudly playing songs from my Sam Smith playlist. I'm kinda scared that Buddy'll jump up & drop my phone.

"Roll over!" I did that little babysitter-puppy playing kinda voice. He rolled over & barked. "Good boy!" I clapped & gave him a doggy treat. He's so adorable!

I take that back. He just did a massive shit on the rug.

"Ugh" I grunted as I reached for the puppy poop picking equipment. "You're lucky you're cute," I looked at him.

After I threw out the trash & washed my hands, I heard the front door open. They were back. Everyone went straight to their rooms except for Demi who went to pick Buddy up & cuddle him.

"Thanks for watching him," she smiled. "No prob, that'll be 20 bucks," I giggled. Demi just looked at me," You know, I should thank you in some way. Get dressed, we're going shopping,"

"Dress code?" I asked. "Casual," she responded, not taking her eyes off of Buddy. "Hipster casual or basic casual?" I asked. "Wha-uh...hipster," she replied. Well at least there was a 2 second interval where she took her eyes off of Buddy.

I put on a brown fringe crop top with white short paired with Keds & one of Demi's big hats that miraculously never falls off her head. I put on a few bangles, grabbed my purse & went out to the living room.

"What? No earrings today?" Demi questioned. "Ugh!" I dragged myself back to the room to get some small, simple studs.

"Done, can we go?" I whined. "Wait..." she put Buddy in her purse, "Let's go" "Okay Sharpay Evans," I mumbled. "What was that?" "I love your nails," I winked.

"Oh my gosh, you would amazing in this dress!" Demi squealed. "For the last time, I do not wear dresses!" I whined. "Why not?" "Well, they're just- I mean it's- I just don't like them,"

"Fine, be that way," she put the dress back on the rack. "Do they have any of those edgy combat boots with studs here?" I asked. "Um I think so. Go check it out," she said, checking out a red floral dress.

"Oh & don't talk to strangers!" She instructed. "Yes m'am!" I rolled my eyes. "Seriously, you always cause lots of trouble whenever you talk to strangers," she did have a point.

After 7 hours of shopping, we were getting exhausted & wanted to go back home but noooooo- Demi had to take a picture of Buddy being exhausted, choose "the perfect filter" & post it to Instagram.

*Christmas Day*

"Ooooohhhh, What'd you get me?" Demi squealed as she was opening up my gift to her. "Oh, what a pretty necklace," I could hear the displeasure in her voice. "Open the locket," I instructed.

"You're a fucking knight in armor & their bullshit cannot penetrate you" she read the engraving. She looked over it a second time & chuckled softly. "Do you like it?" My voice shaked. "I love it," she gushed, " Thanks you,"

"Now, time for your gift!" She chirped. I was the last person in the whole shabang to get a gift. I mean, I'm kinda upset but hey, I'm spending Christmas with Demi & her family.

"Open it," she grinned. I tore open the wrapping & stared at my gifts. "Devonne by Demi & some colourful hair extensions," I bluntly spoke. "Yeah their from my Sec-" "Yeah, I know," I interrupted.

"So..you like 'em?" She looked at me. "Yeah," I lied. Honestly, I was expecting a gift that was more sincere, not something she could grab from work. I mean, it's great that I get all this merch for free but for Christmas? Really?

Moments later, everyone grabbed their gifts, gift (singular) for me, & went back their rooms. I threw the stuff onto my dresser & took a quick nap.

{Demi's P.O.V}

I've been frantically walking up & down my room with my phone up to my face, trying to get a hold of Nick. I've texted him 12 times & this is the 4th time I'm calling him.

"Pick it up, Nick. Pick it up," I mumbled. The ringing continued for what seemed like forever.

"Hello?" I heard his voice. "Nick!" I exclaimed," Oh how I've missed you!" "Yeah, what do you want?" He hissed.

"I just...wanted to see if we could put the past behind us. Ya know, forget about what happened & just move on? Look, I'm sorry Nick. I really am. How much longer are you gonna make me say it?" I breathed. "401 times ought to do it," replied.

"Nick!" "Okay okay," he chuckled," For the sake of Christmas. I forgive you..& I'm sorry too,"

I wasn't expecting an apology but okay.

"Merry Christmas," I greeted. "Merry Christmas. I Love you," he spoke. Wait, what was that? Love? L-O-V-E? Did he really just say that or was it just in my head?

"What did you say?" I questioned. "I love you," he repeated. I let out a soft awkward chuckle, "Love you too," "Bye," he spoke as we hung up.

Love? No, he did not just say that! No love. Oh gosh, I need help.

I ran over to Gaby's room & told her the situation. After she calmed me down & gave me advice, we went to the kitchen to make egg nog. "How much rum?" She asked. "Wait, we're supposed to add rum?" I was honestly confused.

"Can I just add the whole-" "Don't you dare!" I glared at her. We may have screwed up halfway but being the lazy person she is, Gaby refused to start from scratch.

"Yuck! This tastes terrible!" She gagged. "And who's fault was that?" I questioned. "The Grinch, duh! He just wants to ruin our Christmas," she pushed her glass away. "Correct me if I'm wrong but you're 14 right?" I asked sarcastically. "Oh shut up!" She chuckled.

"Merry Christmas, Gab," I raised my glass. "Merry Christmas Dem," we clinked our glasses together & took a huge gulp out of our drinks. "Oh man, that's terrible," she stuck out her tounge.
