When You Love Somebody...
Chapter 1
Demi's POV
"So...," the interviewer grinned maniacally at Demi and she shifted uncomfortably in her chair. She knew that look and that tone of voice, it did not bode well. She took a peak at the boys out of the corner of her eye and saw they were all tense too, they'd been in this business long enough to know what was coming next,
"So," the interviewer said again and then sat forward suddenly, "How's the love life going Demi?" He said it in a rush, as if to catch her out. Demi smiled, a fake smile but only those closest to her could tell, unfortunately, that just happened to include the three boys sitting around her. Demi mock-sighed and rolled her eyes, "What love life?" she asked. The interviewer scoffed,
"Oh come on, Demi, beautiful girl like you," his eyes raked up and down her body and Demi suddenly wished she hadn't agreed to wear a skirt this morning, "Must have a boyfriend," he continued.
Demi laughed, not her usual 'I love life laugh', this one was bitter and she saw Nick and Kevin glance at her, then at each other in concern, while Joe took out his phone and began texting. Demi was slightly disappointed that Joe didn't seem to be concerned about her the way his brothers did.
"No, honestly, no boyfriend, I'm young, free and single!" Demi hoped that would be the end of it, but of course, life is never that easy,
The interviewer grinned again and Demi really started to hate this man, "Weeelll any crushes? What about these boys here?" He pointed to Nick and Joe, Kevin was already taken so luckily he didn't have to answer these awkward questions anymore. Demi felt her phone buzz as the interviewer questioned her,
Twitter Update from joejonas - interviews, interviews, don't ya just love em...
and then underneath she saw she had an actual text from Joe...so he hadn't been ignoring her. Demi looked up and smiled at the interviewer then discreetly checked her phone again,
Message from Joe, The Cute, Funny One - Stay strong girl :P The interviewer's a dick, I know, just don't let him know how madly in love you are with me, my fan girls might just kill you! :P :D
Demi couldn't stop herself from laughing, first at the fact that Joe had obviously been at her phone and changed his name, she'd have to give out to him later. And then at his obvious attempt to cheer her up. She turned to wink at Joe and he stuck his tongue out and smiled his goofy, crooked smile back.
The interviewer cleared his throat, "Demi?" Demi turned back and realised she hadn't answered the question, she looked at the interviewer and smiled, it was time to have fun, "Oh, yeah, I mean the whole of the teenage girl population is in love with these guys, it's ridiculous, especially Nick." She turned to grin at Joe who just raised an eyebrow, "I'm sorry Joe, but everyone just seems to think Nick is better looking," She saw Nick shoot her a confused look and Joe looked hurt, "But," Demi continued, "I have to say that I am seriously crushing on..." Demi paused, leaned towards Joe and grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers, the interviewer gasped and leaned forward again, and Demi saw Joe smile, he had caught on to what she was doing, he just knew her so well.
"Crushing on who Demi?" The interviewer was getting impatient now, sure that Demi was about to admit to their 'Jemi' love, Demi leaned forward into the mike and saw the look of alarm on Nick and Kevin's faces, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, which gave her time to whip out her phone a post a quick Twitter update,
ddlovato - Sometimes you gotta say things to get people off your back, doesn't mean they're true! :P
She leaned forward again and whispered in to the mike, "I love...Justin Bieber!"
The interviewer froze, "What? I mean, I thought..." He gestured to Demi and Joe's entwined hands and when they both innocently raised an eyebrow in response, he just sighed, "Nevermind."
The rest of the interview was spent teasing Demi about her 'crush' on Justin, or teasing the boys about his fan base becoming nearly as big as theirs.
Finally the interview was over and they all stood up to leave, the interviewer came over and pulled Demi into a hug...she did not like this man, he was far too touchy-feely.
"No hard feelings about the personal questions Demi?" the interviewer said as he let her go. His eyes once again raked her body, checking her out, pausing at her chest before returning to her face. Demi shivered, completely grossed out, this guy had to be at least 40. She just smiled not sure what to say, when thankfully, the boys came to her rescue.
Kevin shook the man's hand, gave him a brief smile, then walked out the door, clutching his phone to his ear, already talking to Danielle. Then Nick shook his hand too, said a quick, "Thanks Dude!" and walked out.
Joe stepped up to the interviewer and smiled, but Demi was worried when she saw it wasn't his usual heartstopping smile, instead, it was his, 'I don't like you AT ALL' smirk. The interviewer stuck out his hand, obviously not knowing Joe's smiles as well as Demi did, and Joe took it, crushing it, a lot harder than he had to. "Nice to meet you," he said, his tone obviously implying otherwise. He let the man's hand go and turned towards Demi, "Shall we go?" He smiled, offering her his arm, he bowed to her, "Madam."
Demi laughed and linked arms with him, they skipped down the hallway and stopped when they were sure they were out of sight. Demi pulled Joe into a hug, "Thank you! I hate guys like that!"
