Demi's pov

I rolled out my yoga mat and sat down crossed legged.

"Alexa, start my yoga playlist," I told my Alexa home.

I quickly got into position and closed my eyes and right as my home system began to start the serene music so I could relax and become in tune with my body I heard my door bell ring. My face immediately fell.

Who the hell is interrupting my yoga time?

Who the hell is interrupting my yoga time?

"Alexa, pause," I told her as I stood up rushing to the door barefoot.

This was not the way I wanted to start off my yoga session. This only added to the tension and stress I was under. Everyone on my team knows I specifically do not like to be bothered around this time. I don't order food, schedule meetings, or anything. It had better be important.

I quickly opened the door and when I saw that it was Joe my heart began to race from shock. I should've slammed the door right then and there. I wanted to shut it right then and there.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I just wanted a chance to explain everything to you Demi. Just give me ten min-,"

"No Joe," I said cutting him off. "You've has thirteen years worth of chances," I said.

I stared at his lips because I knew I couldn't look directly in his eyes or I wouldn't have the courage to say anything I was about to say.

"I'm sorry Joe. You know I've always valued our relationship and friendship but you're married. I can't see you anymore because I'm not the kind of woman who sees married men and you're not the kind of man who cheats on their wife," I said with a gulp.

I glanced up at his eyes and saw the pain on his face with every word I spoke.

"I need to take time for myself right now Joe," I said being a bit more gentle. "I need to heal myself so can you please at least respect that?" I asked him before closing the door gently without waiting for a response.

I was consumed with guilt as I watched from my window as he got into his car with a bouquet of roses, the white ones, not the red. He knew they were my favorite. I think he was actually the only guy on the planet who knew they were my favorite.

I sighed as I watched him leave. As he drove away I was transported back to 2009 when we were still filming Camp Rock 2 and I had first received these flowers from him over ten years ago. I couldn't believed he had still remembered they were my favorite.

Filming Camp Rock 2, Toronto, Canada

"How's my favorite girl?" A voice asked knocking the wood of the porch we were sitting on to my cabin.

"Look who's here," Gina said.
