Chapter 11: Remembering..

Joe walked me home and kissed me for a goodbye. I waved at him and then opened the door. I called my mom, it was 4:30 in Australia. She answered and I told her everything that happened to me in just a few days. She gave me the permission so I could make a deal with the company and start my debut album. I couldn't be happier. Apparently, since Joe appeared in my life everything just keeps getting better.

I went upstairs and looked for a towel. I really needed a shower. Looking for it, I found an old scrap book from my old school. I started looking at it. Wow. I remembered every single of my old friends. It was a little emotional to remember all those good times we had together.

You might not know but Miley and I got separated when finishing kindergarten. Her parents took her to Canada for a few years while I stayed in Texas. I missed her so much in that period of time. I remember saying to my mom that she was and will be my only one best friend, of curse I was too little to know that.

In elementary school, I met this girl named Selena. Since we first met, Selena and I just clicked and became best friends in less than a second. We graduated together from elementary school and went to the same high school. We were inseparable. We spent together every weekend. Either at her house or at my house. We went to acting classes together and never got tired of each other. We even got a nickname "Delena" which is the mixture of our names in one. People often got confused and thought we were sisters. When I was with her everything was alright and we were just one and the same. Unfortunately, one day my step-dad got a new job here, in California. So we had to move. Selena and I cried so much because we had to separate, she was my best friend and I loved her too much to just walk away. We both promised we'd keep in touch. By letter, e-mail, phone or whatever. And we made a pact, no matter what the other one will always be the other ones best friend. I wrote letters to her everyday and she did that too. I did the same with Miley when she was in Canada. My first day at this school was different.

A girl made me drop my books on purpose and another girl helped me to pick them up. When I saw the girls face I was shocked. IT WAS MILEY. We both smiled and hugged. I remember she said "DEMI!" with a huge smile on her face.

"Miles! But what are you doin here? Aren't you supposed to be in Canada?" I asked her.

"We moved here this week because of my dad's job, I couldn't write you a letter because we are still in a hotel" she said with a lot of adrenaline in her voice.

I remembered I couldn't believe my best friend was there with me again. Since that moment, Miley and I recovered the time we lost when she moved and got even more inseparable than we were when we were kids.

About Selena, I still write to her. She tells me everything that's going on in her life and I do the same. But when I told her about Miley being here again, well I don't know if it's just me or she definitely changed.. a lot. She is colder with me when she writes me letters. Now we don't talk a lot like we used too, I figured out she might be jealous or she found someone who can replace me. Miley is my best friend since kindergarten but Selena, she made my sadness go away and made me smile like I never did before. She'll always be my best friend too. So what? I can't have two best friends? BLAH.

All that came to my mind by only opening my scrap book with tons of Selena's photos at the beginning of high school. I started to miss her so I decided it was time to call her. I grabbed the phone and called her. I was extremely excited to hear her voice after a year and a half without talking.

I was bummed when I heard "This number is no longer available, consult your company". I guess that means she moved and not even tell me about it. Well, I think she definitely found my replacement. At first I was kinda sad but then I thought "I don't need someone in my life that doesn't want me in their life" and went to shower.

Joe called me later that day and we talked for like 4 hours. He's just perfect. My mom got home at night and I went to greet her.

"Hey momma! How was your trip?" I asked really interested.

"It was really good, productive and relaxing" she smiled. She sat at the dinner table and started to take of her shoes.

"But tiring too. Oh, darling how did it went the whole album thing?" she asked to me.

"Umm, I wanted to talk to you in person before I make any decision" I cleared it up.

I explained her every single detail and told her about the contract. She agreed with it.

"I think it's fantastic that you can make your dream become true" she said. I was surprised, as far as I remembered I had never told her that that was my biggest dream in life.

"How do you know it's one of my dreams mommy?" I asked with curiosity.

"Oh honey, well I've always known that. And even though you think I've never heard you sing, I have and I can tell, you are awesome" she confessed.

I just stared at her with some kinda surprised look.

She smiled and said "Well, let me know when you are going to sign the contract so I can go with you and goodnite darling" she said and gave me a kiss on the forehead.. I went upstairs, changed and called Joe to say goodnight, then I fell asleep very quickly.
