Demi Lovato Imagines

Controlled

TRIGGER WARNING// CONTROLLING RELATIONSHIPS

"I don't want you hanging out with that girl, she's taking you away from me!" My boyfriend Oliver yells at me while holding me by my shoulders. You may be wondering who "that girl" is? It's my life long best friend Demi. The girl I met on our first day of kindergarten and have been inseparable with ever since. She told me recently that she's going on tour again with her crush, Nick Jonas and ever since she told me, we've been hanging out a lot to make up for the time we won't be able to. We went to grab a coffee today and catch up on our lives, how excited she is for tour and how my family are doing. When I got home, Oliver was standing waiting for me with his arms crossed and was raging about me not being home when he finished work. "You mean Demi?! Oliver, she's my best friend and I'm not gonna see her for months! We have been hanging out a lot, yes, but do you not think I should while I still can? We can hang out as much as you want when she's away but let me have time with my best friend before she leaves for fuck sake!" I yell back at him, angry that he's trying to control me. He throws his hands up in the air and walks away from me to calm himself down.

My phone starts ringing in my back pocket so I grab it and see that it was Demi calling. I run upstairs to the spare room, close and lock the door and answer it. "Hey!" She exclaims happily down the phone. A small smile makes it's way across my face from hearing a voice that wasn't Oliver's angry one. "Hey Dem" I say back, the sadness evident in my voice. She immediately asks what's wrong and why I don't sound as happy as usual which soon turns into rapid fire questions. I'm unable to answer one befor either next one comes out of her mouth. "Dem, he's trying to control me again. I got home from grabbing coffee with you and he got pissed because I wasn't already there when he got home from work. He told me he doesn't want you taking up any of my time anymore because he's sick of you having my attention instead of it being him who has it. I'm just tired of having these arguments all the time" I sigh to my best friend. It's not the first time this has happened and Demi will tell me every time that I need to leave him before it gets worse but every time, I'll give her the speech of how much I love him and how he's not always like that. "Please break up with him? You won't be alone because you can come on tour with me and it'll be super fun! We can travel the continent together, maybe even the world if this tour goes well! C'mon, what do you say?" She says enthusiastically. She knows how much I'd love to go but also knows Oliver would never let me.

"You know what? Fuck him, I'm gonna break up with him and come on the road with my best friend!" I reply confidently. Demi has a one man party on the other end of the call then finally returns with a thank you. "Hey, you gotta be my getaway driver from here though, deal?" I say to her as if we were planning a heist to do something illegal. She laughs and agrees then we say our goodbyes. Time to go break the news to Oliver and get my ass on tour with Demi!
