Having To Let Go

Chapter Three.

I'm still thinking. I'm in my car, heading down to Starbucks to chat with Demi about how things are going, and just have some girl time. Then we're supposed to meet up with Joe at night for dinner.

I can't be thankful enough for what Joe has done for me. Joe has cleared up so many rumors about me, at school, of course. He's always so protective of me, and he's always trying to cheer everyone up. And what's best about him, is that when he's feeling down, he hides it so other people don't feel worse. He's the most sensitive guy ever, even though her broke like a ton of girls' hearts. But I know the reasons to all the breakups, and it's always kind of the girl's fault.. You know.

They get too stalker-ish.

So, anyway. I'm heading down, and I see Demi in the funniest, yet coolest outfit ever. Its like baggy sweatpants, and a hoody. So gangster of you, Demi. I laugh to myself, as I walk over to her slowly. "DRAGON!" I yell out, as she pulls me in for a hug.

"NIGHTHAWK!" She screams back, looking at me in the eyes. "How's my little friend?" She asked me. I rolled my eyes, and yelled out. "I'm older than you!"

She laughed, as I sarcastically pushed my hair backwards. We both giggled for a few seconds, then we became serious.

"So, how's the thing?" She asked, taking a sip of her coffee. "Well, I guess I'm fine, Demmerz.." I sighed, looking down onto my lap.

I just can't believe we're over like that.

"You know, you guys are meant to be…" Demi said, giving me her wise look. That's what I love about Demi. She's always there for you. In every kind of way. She's the bestest friend ever, and she makes you laugh when you need it the most. Kind of like Joe. That's why they go together perfectly. They're so adorable. No joke.

Oops. Reality slap. I look over to the ground, and then back up to her. "What ever's mean to be, is meant to be…" I smiled at her, as she nodded at my wise words.

"Smart, Lady Cyrus," She jokingly mocked me, and I hit her shoulder. She laughed and rolled her eyes, walking away.

Lady Cyrus. That's what Nick used to call me, when I acted all professional. Everything always relates to him. My smile fainted, and Demi quickly started to notice. She put her hand on my shoulder, and smiled at me.

"Miles, I'm sorry. Seriously." She trailed off. "I swear, I didn't mean to!" She defended herself, trying not to break me. I fake smiled at her. "I know you didn't. Its my problem.. Oh well.." I answered her, getting more comfortable on the wooden chair.

She took a sip of her coffee, and suggested we should go shopping a little bit. I grabbed my stuff, and head to my car. "Should we take my car or yours?" I asked her, and she told me it was probably best if we take mine, since its bigger. And you know us, girls. We shop and buy way too much things.

So, she was right. We took my car and headed over to Beverly Center. Like, the best mall ever. We visited H&M, and Forever 21, and Claire's. All those big shops everyone loves. Each one of us, bought like 6 bags of clothes. We carried them to the car, and dumped everything in the back.

"That was awesome!" Demi yelled, throwing her hands carelessly in the air. "I know, right?" I agreed with her, as I hit the gas, and drove away from the mall. "So what time is it now?" Demi asked me.

"Well, its 4:30. So I think we should be heading to the Village Idiot so we can meet Joe, now." I'm always ready. That's one of the things that people admired most about me. Especially, Nick. "Alright! Lets head for it then, and then I'll call Joe, and make sure it's still on. If it's not, we can just eat and talk." Demi informed me, and I nodded taking the information in.

Demi put the phone on speaker, and looked at me. "Hello?" Joe waited on the other line for an answer.

"Hey, Joe. Its Demi." Demi answered, giggling and looking down on her lap. "Oh," Joe cleared his throat. "Hey, Demi!" This time, he sounded a little bit excited. Demi laughed. "Is dinner still on?"

"Yes, Demetria." Joe said, sounding a little serious, but I mean, c'mon. It's Joe. If he's not kidding, then something is wrong. But, on serious times, he's always there to lighten up to mood. He doesn't care about himself, he cares about the people around him. That's why everyone loves him.

"Don't you dare call me that!" Demi answered him, laughing but trying to hide it. It was so obvious they like each other. Especially that both of them told me. So it's kind of funny that I know they're bothing crushing on each other. It's so cute. If Joe and Demi every date, I would call them Jemi Jorres or Jemi Torronas. So smart, huh?

As they talked, I spent my time thinking about them. When I looked at her, she had this concerned look on her face. As I thought about them, my mind was thinking of love. Love to me, meant Nick and I. And then, here I go again, being reminded of Nick just by everything.

I seriously do need to get over what's happening. And I can't do that, unless I do what Demi has been telling me to do. But, what Demi wants me to do, is just so… Weird. Something I never thought I would do. Everything in my world is falling down now. Only, eight months ago, everything was into place and I was happy and in love with the sweetest, most romantic, and the hottest guy alive.

Things can change in a blink of an eye. It can either be a good thing, or just a terrible thing. My life needs to stop. I just need to stop and stare. And wonder why I'm right here now, when I was over there. The happy side. I would do anything to get what's fair. It was not fair! For him just to ditch me like that, over a job.

He let go of us. I just saw the heartbreak in his eyes. So why did he breakup with me? Why didn't he ask me to come with him? I would have came! I really would have. I mean, college is over, and we have nothing to look after. Plus, I probably would have found a better job in New York. So why didn't he? Did he not want me there?

Right now, everything seems like… like its over. My life is over, without him. I need him with me. I need him, and I need his kisses, his words, his smiles. What made me love him most, was everything about him.
