Different Beginning

Trace

Demi POV

   2 days after the movie premier in Dallas we flew back out to California since we got the movie Premiere in LA tomorrow. Since I gave Patrick my number he's been blowing up my phone like crazy. I answered the first call cause I didn't know it was him. That conversation did not go well. I stopped answering his calls after that. We got home late in the afternoon and the first thing I did was go straight to my closet. It's been a long two weeks without using and dealing with Patrick bullshit  I was eager to pop a bar. 

   The next day at the premiere went better. We where all ready and arrived on time. No strange visitors it went smooth of course I was all bard out though the most of it. Ive gotten pretty good at playing it off. I would just laugh at anything and everything. 

I woke up early the morning after the premiere. I walked into the bathroom to freshen up. Joe came in while I was brushing my teeth. He started brushing his teeth too. He smiled at me through the mirror  while he was applying toothpaste to his toothbrush. I keep brushing away. And so did he. I didn't know what to say it was awkward between us. I rinse my mouth out. 

"Are you going back to New York" I asked 

"I am, my flight is later this afternoon" He said 

"Your leaving? So soon" I said 

"Yea Camilla has a family birthday party in a few days and she's kinda mad I didn't spend valentines with her since we where in New Jersey" Joe said What a selfish bitch it was his dads birthday. Whatever.

"Oh cool, have fun" I said and turned on my heels to walk way. I went to Nick's room he wasn't in there so I went to the music room where he was. 

"Are you leaving too, you promise me you would stay with me" I said almost shooting at Nick 

"No im not leaving" Nick said laughing 

"Good, I was starting to think you forgot you had two sisters who need there Nick time just as much as Joe does" I said 

"If I could be in two places at once trust me I would" Nick said 

"Good so your not going back to New York ever" I asked with hope

"I didn't say that" Nick said 

"Whatever. Trace is coming over for dinner tonight" I said before I left the music room. I checked up on Madi and her and Frankie where down at the beach with Kevin. 

"Hey sweetie you got a minute" Paul asked he was in the office with Denise. 

"Sure, what's sup" I asked 

"A few talk shows keep calling us wanting to do an interview with the family. To talk about how you came to live with us. Everyone wants to be the first to report the story. Especially Oprah who calls her self." Paul said 

"Ohh" was all I could say I answered a few fan questions here and there about it but I haven't told the world mine and Madi story. 

"If your still not ready sweetie we don't have to" Denise said 

"No, it's okay I think it would be great for the fans . I'll do it" I said 

"Okay, I'll call and schedule an interview sometime after our vacation" Paul said 

"Okay cool, Don't forget Trace is coming over tonight for dinner" I said before going back up to my room.

"Hey" Joe said coming into my room a bit 

"You haven't left yet" I asked from my desk top. 

"No, I got a couple hours left before I gotta take off to the airport" Joe said coming more in my room
