Demi Lovato's Diary
Chapter 2
Last chapter...
"I'll get it," Demi called out quietly, noticing a small narrowed look from Nick... or was she imagining it? "Demi stop thinking about the snobby twat! Goodness me, it's like I was in love with him or something the amount of times he was in my head! Erm... but I'm not. Thank the lord." Demi swear she could feel slight redness in her cheeks. She walked back into the hallway timidly and opened the front door to see her Aunt and Uncle in law standing in front of her.
"Oh boy, let the nightmare begin..."
"Demi...!" Demi's uncle and auntie shouted out, seeing their favourite, well... only niece of theirs. They had arms open, which the young girl dreaded. She awkwardly leaned into hug the pair, who seemed eager to see her familiar face. They let go and asked how Demi was and everything, looking at her intensively. Her uncle then grabbed her cheeks of her face and wiggled them, "You have grown into one big girl haven't you?" Demi smiled, embarrassed, blushing like a tomato. Her uncle simply laughed, while auntie gave him a friendly slap.
They gave her a nicely wrapped gift, in a shape of a rectangle. Demi took it gratefully and thanked them, giving a one arm hug as a thank you. The two then went into the living room, greeting everyone. Demi also saw they even greeted Nick with a hug. Demi was still holding her present and followed them into the other room, placing her gift under the brightly decorated Christmas tree.
Demi sat down on the sofa that was nearest to her, where her father was sitting. Her mother was still cooking and insisted that no one would help her at that very moment. That was when the doorbell rang again and Demi's dad decided he would open the door this time. Demi kept sitting there on the couch, picking up the lemonade bottle off the coffee table and placing some lemonade into a plastic cup for her to drink.
She drank it slowly as she heard a familiar voice. It was American and rather thick. Then Demi realised who it must be. Demi put her cup down and jumped off the seat, rushing to see her father smiling, "Demi, you're best..." Demi shrilled with excitement, pushing past her father to cradle Selena into a big bear hug. Selena exclaimed, "It's been so long since I've seen you!"
Demi agreed, "I know! I've missed you so much Sel, it's been what... a month?" Selena nodded and they let of the hug. They began chattering on and laughing to complete nonsense as they walked upstairs. "Thank god Selena is here, I would have died if I had to carry on in a civil manner with the Jonas' and my aunt and uncle in law, I know that the two would have asked me all sorts of nosey questions, mostly about my love life. They think I should get a boyfriend soon, but why? I'm only 17! I had one once, and I KNOW that didn't end well."
Demi opened the door to her room. Well, it wasn't her proper bedroom, but the room she would stay at when she was here. Selena looked around, noticing that the room wasn't that exciting. She shrugged and they both sat on the bed, agreeing that they had so much to catch up on.Demi was certainly going to be happy because Selena was staying in London for a week, but then she'd be going back. But that didn't matter too much since Demi would be back in Los Angeles in a fortnight.
Demi was kind of happy to go back to working on the 2nd series of her hit show; it seemed pleasurable. Not to mention, she has kind of missed seeing her cast mates. Selena had seen every episode of the first series and explained to Demi how awesome it was. Demi wasn't sure if Selena really did love it, but she was just so bloody happy to see her best mate on TV. But it seemed to Demi that why was it such a big deal when Selena was on TV too with her show? Ah well, I guess it never mattered.
Demi never liked to compete, there was no point. It just seemed silly to Demi to even compare her show to Selena's, they were completely different. Demi's was a show about a girl who keeps trying to do the best for everyone, but always ends up gaining issues with others, people say it's rather funny. Demi has to act clumsy, which she can already do... since Demi has been known to be a total idiot when it comes to being casual and poised, it didn't always work for her.
Selena's show was more about, Demi seemed happy to tell Selena everything; she even said a few things about Nick, but not in a good way... and Selena's response? "Well, this guy sounds okay, I mean... yes, he's a snob and seems to be rather rude, but it sounds to me he likes you." Demi then exclaimed, "But Selena! I hate him! He's nothing but trouble; he's so full of himself!" Selena rolled her eyes, "You don't know that. Go on, go and talk to him when were having the buffet your mum made us."
Demi groaned, "Great... even Selena was against me with this whole Nick thing, but why? What was so darn great about posh, snobby Mr Lardy Dardy Jonas? I knew that every time we spoke, I knew for sure that he purely despised me, with his whole obnoxious attitude... including the way he looked at me with his eyes of slyness, he just couldn't pick up the courage to just tell me what he thought of me, probably bad things I bet. Phuh, he's just so... gahh!"
After a few more minutes of hearing about some cute guy Selena met a few days ago; she dragged Demi downstairs, clearly Demi was not happy about Selena's idea. Demi felt like sulking, but it wouldn't prove anything... it would just show how much more of what Demi described herself... a total blabbering fool. Demi let out a huge sigh, letting Selena drag her to the living room, whilst her aunt helped out her mother. Then Selena finally noticed Demi's jumper and looked at it in disgust, "Demi?"
Demi looked at Selena as a response and Selena then whispered in horror, "What the fuck are you wearing?" Demi rolled her eyes and sighed, "Look I know it's horrible, but I have to wear it to keep my mum happy... I don't want her to find out that I don't like it." Selena nodded in understanding, "I see your point, but aren't you hot in it or something? You could just take it off because you felt hot." Demi shrugged, "Nah... It doesn't matter anyway, either way; Nick will find some way of taking the total piss out of me." Selena rolled her eyes and shook her head.
Demi saw Nick's head appear; he was looking out the window of the living room, holding a glass, half full of lemonade. Selena was literally pushing Demi to go talk to him, moving her closer towards him. Demi was struggling to stop her, so she gave up and decided that maybe it might be okay to talk to him. So there she went, attempting to casually speak to the right-minded boy, who seemed to take no notice of her until she tapped him on the shoulder.
He turned round to face Demi, giving her a polite smile, "Hello Demi," he said, in a no emotion manner. Demi attempted to smile, but the gesture felt wrong to her. Demi really wasn't in the mood to talk to the sly 18 year old, but it seemed she had no choice. She replied, "Hi there Nick... are you having a nice time being here?" He slowly nodded, "Erm yes... I suppose I am." Demi gave a nod back, "that's... that's great." Demi went to walk away when Selena pushed her back to carry on.
Demi was desperately attempting to explain to Selena she didn't like him; but it didn't work. Nick just stood there, waiting for Demi to supposedly say something else. But instead she grabbed Selena to a corner of the room, in frustration about what else to say to Nick. "Selena, I have no idea what to say to him, please help!"
Selena sighed, gently pushing Demi's hands back down, "Look, don't worry... just ask him 'how are you' and just talk about general stuff, it will be fine and soon this will all be over, okay?" Demi nodded and walked back to Nick, who had a sly smile, curious that she was back again, probably already knowing she would return. "Ha-ha, erm... yes, sorry about that Nick, I just needed to talk to my friend. So, how are you then?" Demi folded her arms, placing a purely polite smile to keep him less suspicious.
"Oh, I'm fine... same old really, music, writing songs for my band and running away from chasing girls." Demi nodded, not caring the slightest bit. Then Nick let out a surprising, "You?" Demi seemed struck that he looked so interested and perhaps slightly intrigued by her so called life. But in the glint in his eyes she seemed so sure that he was purely being honest of interest.
Demi shrugged, "Working on writing some new scripts for the next show, erm... going to be catching up with some friends soon and I'll be simply getting chatted up by men." Demi suddenly mentally slapped herself, taking a sip of diet coke from her glass. "Why in bloody god's name did I just say that? Stupid, stupid Demi... I mean really? 'Simply getting chatted up by men?' Why did I have to say such utter bollocks, what to impress the bastard? Certainly so, ugh... I'm a mess."
Demi swore she could hear giggling; she turned round and noticed her best friend sniggering at what she had just done. "Great, even my best friend thinks I'm an idiot..." But then Demi turned around back to Nick, suddenly curious about the expression on his face. It was in slight shock, which Demi found rather strange. Demi wasn't sure, but the emotion in his eyes showed slight hurtfulness, but Demi must have been wrong, but that was what Demi thought, because indeed there was some hurt in his irises, he didn't like the idea of men chasing her.
Nick then stumbled out the words, "I-I must go..." He walked off, and went to the bathroom. Demi couldn't help but snigger at it; it did seem quite funny for Nick to suddenly lose all his confidence in just a few words. "Wow, that's new..." Selena went back up to Demi, laughing her head off. "You nailed it girl, you even made him slightly jealous!" Demi snorted, "I may have nailed it... but he wasn't jealous, just simply mad that I was having more success in my life."
Selena shrugged, "Think what you will, but you know I'm right... I mean come on, you don't get THAT chatted up by guys..." Demi was offended, "Phuh! How can you say such a thing!"
But she knew that Selena was right about that. But Demi couldn't help thinking later on that night that perhaps Nick really did like her.
Yay! I'm kind of on a roll here aren't I? I really like this chapter actually, I think it ended well. But don't worry; it will certainly get more interesting in the future of chapters ;) Tell me what you think and review!
