(A/N: because Demi and Dallas are both Lovato so I used the Munroe surname and for Maddie and Dianna, they are both De La Garza so I changed it to Torres. Really can't think about any surnames. I know they're lame)
Its okay if you don't review, I'm already happy posting this. :)
"If Ever You're In My Arms Again"
Chapter One
Demi's POV
It was almost two months since Joe and Ashley broke up but they remained friends, talk to each other and everything. I even talked to Ashley once or twice, I don't remember but she is a nice person. But just this week, Joe started to act strange.
Flashback:
Last Monday that week (A/N: now its Saturday):
We were at the mall and I really don't want to go there that day but Miley persuaded me so I've got no choice. It was unusual for Miley to head straight to the groceries, I don't know, maybe she was hungry that time. I was about to say something when I saw them.
"Miles, is that?" pointing my finger to them. "Who?" she turns around and looks to where I'm pointing. "Yey, we've got company!" she puts back the bags of chips to the shelf and rushes to them. "Miley wait!" I tried to stop her but what do you expect it's Miley. "Great." I mumbled to myself after I saw Miley waving, telling me to come over. I walk straight towards them and smiled hearing Miley giggling to something that Nick said to her. "Finally, you've reached us." Miley said holding back her giggles. I just smiled at her as a reply and looked at the three guys. 'Could this day get any worse?' the voice in my head whined after spotting him. There he is, staring at something I don't know, his back facing me. "Hey Dems." Nick greeted me with a smile. I turned to face him. "Hi Nick." I greeted back. On the corner of my eye, I saw him turn around to face us. I turned my head to his direction and our eyes met. 'Wrong move girl, wrong move.' The voice in my head told me. I don't know why I can't remove my eyes on him. Maybe I just missed those eyes. Then I heard Kevin clearing his throat awkwardly and it made me look away from him. "Oh hi Kev." I greeted him with a small wave. He stepped close to me and gave me a hug. "Ohh, Demi I missed you sooo much." Kevin whispered to my ear but audible enough for everyone to hear. "I missed you too, and Kev?" I said almost breathless. "Hmm?" he hummed tightening his hug. "A...air." I said in a pleading tone. Kevin lets go of me and smiled apologetically. "Sorry." I smiled at him. "Its okay, but I'm glad I didn't die from suffocation." Nick snorted and Kevin glared at him. Nick just looked up the ceiling and whistled some random tune. Kevin just rolled his eyes. "So, who wants to eat?" Miley asked as she walks to the exit dragging Nick. Kevin raised his hand, "Me!" he shouted and followed them. 'and it's really getting worse.' The voice in my head is not really helping. I sighed and greeted him. "uhh...hi, Joe." I tried not to look at him but failed. 'stop it Demi, stop staring at him' I scolded myself. "Hi Dee." He greeted showing that smile. The smile that made my worries and fears go away. I smiled back at him, "I think we should go and follow them." He just nodded and followed me out of the groceries store. After that Joe was silent, the entire time except when Miley or his brothers would ask him something. I don't know what's wrong with him, he's like avoiding something. We all went home when it was almost 8 in the evening.
End of Flashback
I just sighed and rested my head on a pillow. "I'll just ask him in an email tomorrow or tonight, I guess." I decided as I continue to stare at the ceiling.
10:15pm
No one's POV
Demi stirs and she slowly opens her eyes and looks around. She sighed and looked at the clock. "Its 10:15 already. Ugh!" She rubs her forehead and tries to sleep again. Then her phone rings indicating that she has a text message. "Who on earth would text you in this hour?" she exclaimed as she reached for her phone and reads the message. She quickly rolls to the side and lies on her stomach then start pressing the buttons on her phone.
Joe's POV
I rolled back and forth on my bed and tossed and turned every pillow I had. 'Come on Joe, just grab that phone and text her. A single text message won't punch you on the face. Duh!' I just rolled my eyes and scratched my head, messing up my hair. "Fine. I'll text her." I said exasperated. I grabbed my phone and started pressing the keys.

"Should I tell her? No, not yet. Not now." Joe mumbled as he shakes his head.

They just both sighed and drift off to sleep.

(A/N: I just want to skip it. Sorry)
Demi's POV
It was almost 10 and still no sign of Joe. I stared at my phone, expecting a text or call from him and still got nothing. "Don't expect too much dear." I remembered my mom tell me last night. "I should've taken her advice." I sighed. I stand up and started to head to the stairs when my phone suddenly rang. It's Joe. I hit the answer button. "Hello?" I said in an annoyed tone but I'm not really annoyed or something. "Hey, can you come out of the house. I wanna show you something." He said out of breath then the call was cut. I just rolled my eyes and slid my phone in my pocket and walked towards the door. I turned the knob and opened it. I saw nothing. I took a few steps to take a look around and still nothing. No signs of Joe or even his shadow around. I inhaled as much as my lungs could take and breathed them out as hard as I can. "Playing tricks on me huh." I whispered to myself and turned around to get back inside the house. Then after a step or two, two strong arms are already wrapped around my waist. I tried to turn my head towards the person to know who it was but before I could even do it, everything went black.
Sorry that one is short. . . .
Please tell me if you found some wrong grammars, spellings or anything.
THANK YOU!
