Second Chances
Demi sat in her room, strumming her guitar and sadly sang, "Before I fall too fast, kiss me quick, but make it last, so I can see how badly this will hurt me, when you say goodbye".
Demi looked out the window and sighed, "Why is this so complicated?" she said quietly to herself. She was about to start singing again when her phone started to ring. Demi picked it up and looked at the caller id, Joe.
Demi thought for a moment then answered, "What do you want?" she snapped.
"To work this out!" he snapped back.
Demi shook her head and pressed end call. She looked down at her phone, she immediately wanted to call him back and it took all of her strength not to.
Joe had hurt her, they had had a massive fight and they had agreed to break up. And now they had to go on tour with each other for 5 months. Pure torture.
Demi slipped her phone in her pocket and put down her guitar, she needed to go and talk to Miley. Demi grabbed her car keys and ran out to her car.
"Hey Miles, you home, I need to see you" Demi yelled into the intercom at Miley's gate, struggling to be heard over the loud yells of the paparazzi asking about her and Joe. "Yep I am, come right in" she answered. Demi waited for the gate to open and drove in, parking her car in front of the house. She stepped out of car and ran up to the front door.
"Hey Dem! C'mere girl" she greeted with her arms open. Demi walked into the open arms and smiled, "Hey Miles" Demi replied stepping back, "Sorry bout those paparazzi at your gate, obviously someone told them about me and Joe".
Miley smiled in support, "Its ok, believe me" she said, grabbing Demi's hand and leading her to Miley's room. They both collapsed down on the couch and looked at each other. Miley sighed, "So tell me bout what happened since we talked last, Nick won't tell me anything".
Demi sighed and looked at her jeans, "Well, nothing much since the other day, he called me today, saying he wanted to work it out, but whats to work out? I was just another one of his girls, I should've seen it coming, but I just figured that since he was my best friend it'd work out or something.." she answered, when she looked up she had tears in her eyes.
Miley saw the tears and reached over to hug Demi, "Hey Dem, its okay" she said.
She sat back and looked at Demi, "C'mon Dem, he doesn't know what he's missing out on, if he's going to be this way, he doesn't deserve you" she said in support.
Demi looked at Miley and smiled a little, but the tears spilled and ran down her cheeks, "Miley..I..love him, all these years we were friends I just never said anything, I didn't want him to think I was only friends with him because I liked him, and that wasn't true. But, I freaking love him." she said sadly.
Miley hugged Demi and reassured her it would be alright. "Hey Dem, I know this is hard but, I think you should clear up these rumours, I heard one that said you were dating some 30 year old guy!" she said trying to make Demi feel better. Demi nodded slowly, "Okay" she agreed pulling out her phone. She opened up twitter and looked at Miley, "What should I write?" she asked sniffily.
Miley thought for a moment and nodded, "What about something saying the rumours aren't true and your not dating anyone else?" she suggested. Demi nodded and tapped the letters on her phone and looked at Miley for her opinion.
Demi read aloud, "There has been many rumours going around lately. Joe and I did split, but it wasn't over the phone, things just weren't working out. I am NOT dating anyone else already, my most important relationship is with my fans.".
Miley nodded, "Thats good, send it" she said in agreement. Demi thought for a moment before hitting tweet. Demi held back more tears and rested her head on Miley's shoulder. "I've for sure lost one of my best friends" she said sadly.
"Thank you so much for coming out tonight!
"Hope you enjoy this song, it's..really..personal for me right now." she said into the mic. Demi took her guitar and slipped it over her shoulders and began to play.
Did you forget that I was even alive?
Did you forget everything we ever had?
Did you forget, did you forget about me?
Did you regret ever standing by my side?
Did you forget we were feeling inside?
Now I'm left to forget about us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song, you can't forget it
So now I guess this is where we have to stand
Did you regret ever holding my hand?
Never again, please don't forget, don't forget
We had it all, we were just about to fall
Even more in love, than we were before
I won't forget, I won't forget about us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song you can't forget it
Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song, you can't forget it at all
And at last all the pictures have been burned
And all the past is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget, please don't forget us
Somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song but you won't sing along
You've forgotten about us
Don't forget
Demi took a deep breath after she sang the last line and sighed. She could feel the tears in her eyes, but quickly blinked them away.
She turned around and handed her guitar to the stagehand and walked back over to the mic to sing the last song of the night.
