It was around noon, and that meant lunch time to many of the cast and crew members. Everyone who was eating was in the hotels cafeteria/lounge. Demi walked into the cafeteria with her lunch bag, where she kept any food she would need during the day, and sat in her usual seat which was across from Nick J and in between Tallie and Jordan. She sat where she did because it was far away from Ashley and Joe, and she was just really good friends with the people she sat with. Demi never really ate much,
she didnt even eat sometimes. Today she just took out a ham and cheese sandwich she had thrown randomly in that morning, thinking she might want something more than a snack during the day. She was already engaged in a pretty funny conversation with the people around her, when Ashley walked over, without food, and sat a couple seats down and across from her. Demi was not okay with this because Ashley was now in earshot of everything she was saying. Demi ate slower, and became very careful of what she was saying. Instead of talking, she began listening to Ashleys louder-then-needed-to-be comments on how she never ate ham because its full of fat and how it can make you really obese. She was also saying how some people shouldnt eat for a reason, and also how its torture to watch some people eat because they eat like pigs themselves. Nick was also aware of what was being said, and tried to think of a topic he could bring up with Demi so she could block them out.
"Hey Demi?" Nick tried to get her attention, but Demi seemed unresponsive. "Demi?" Demi blinked a few times and turned her attention towards Nick. "Oh sorry. Yeah?" Nick just looked at her for a minute. "You okay?" "Yeah Im fine." She said kind of quickly. "You sure?" "Yes. Im okay really." When Ashley started making comments about people who laugh louder than others and how abnoxious they are, Demi decided she had heard enough and that she just wanted to go up to her room and finish eating. "Im gonna go up to my room. I dont feel very well." Demi got up to leave, and when she did Ashley did as well. Ashley walked slowly out the door and into the hallway. Demi said goodbye to her friends and left the cafe. As she made her way down the hall, Demi came across Ashley and Joe standing right in the middle of the hall having a conversation. She wondered how she was going to get past them without saying anything. Demi tried to walk around them but ended up accidently bumping Ashley in the shoulder. Taking this as an insult, Ashley quickly pushed her back. "Hey! What was that for?" "You pushed me first, so I did it back. Its the way the world works.
If you cant handle it you might as well just leave." Demi gave her a look, and then started walking back to her room. "Yeah thats right. Go cry to your daddy little baby." Demi didnt even look back. She had been trying to hold back through the bullying and harsh words for such a long time now that she was about to have a breakdown.
She needed to let all her emotions out. Even if it meant they all had to come out at once.
