"You ready to head back? You cool now?" Justin questioned Selena.
After pulling Selena off the bus and away from Demi, the two went for a walk around the park that was just a block from where the tour bus was parked.
"Yeah, I mean I guess. Don't have much of a choice."
"Listen Sel…." Justin was cut off by his phone ringing. "Hold on…. Hello?"
"Is this Justin?"
Justin looked over at Selena bit puzzled as they stopped walking. "Um yeah, who is this?"
"It's Nick, Nick Jonas… I need you to do something for me."
"Nick? What could you possible need from me?"
"I just got a call from Demi, she was a mess. I don't know what happen, she could barely compose a sentence. I think she might relapse. I need you to go to her and watch her please. I'm on my way, I was just a city over from yall. Just please keep her safe and don't let her do anything stupid until I get there."
"I'm on my way to the bus now, don't worry I'll keep her safe."
"Thank You. I'll see you soon."
Justin hung the phone up and grabbed Selena by the wrist and quickly began to head back to the bus. "We need to get to the bus now."
"Why? What's wrong, why did Nick call you? And Nick who?"
"Jonas. Apparently Demi called him and he's scared she might have a relapse, he's on his way and needs me to keep her from doing anything harmful to herself again."
Selena didn't say anything after his explanation. She couldn't even if she tried. She was torn between emotions it felt as her heart was going to burst. Part of her was still upset with Demi but on the other hand she was scared and worried, Demi has come a long way since her rehab and Selena couldn't think of her relapsing and most likely because of her.
As they reached the bus, the duo quickly rushed on bus hoping that they weren't late. As they entered the sitting area they found Demi sitting in the corning with her phone tight in her grip, her arms wrapped around her knees, legs tucked into her chest, face buried into her knees as she slowly rocked herself back and forth. The only thing that could be heard from the rock star was her quiet sobs and her constantly whispering 'Stay Strong' to herself.
"Demi…" Justin softly spoke as he slowly made his way to her, careful to not freak her out. He could tell she was battling with her demons, it was all to familiar with him, for he's seen Selena in the same state more times than one can count. "Demi, it's Justin. Can you hear me?"
He watched as she softly shook her head yes but refused to look at him. He knelt down in front of her, placing his hand on her shoulder to try to comfort her but quickly pulled it away when she jumped away from him fear in her eyes.
"It's okay I'm not going to hurt you, okay?" No response. "Nick is on his way, everything is going to be okay."
Selena watched horrified at the scene, the girl she once knew as fearless and strong was now emotional and hurting. She couldn't help but to be angry at herself because she knew that it was her fault that Demi was having this emotional attack, no matter how many times she tried to reassure herself it wasn't, she knew better. She thought seeing Demi hurt as she has, would bring her satisfaction but boy was she wrong. It caused her even more pain then before, seeing Demi cry had to be the most painful thing Selena has ever witnessed in her life. And it was her fault.
Selena was brought from her thoughts by Justin's phone ringing again. She watched Demi slowly rock herself back and forth as she listening to Justin talk on the phone.
"Hey ….. Yeah, she's just rocking herself back and forth, she won't talk and jumped away from me when I tried to comfort her by rubbing her shoulder…. Okay…. See you in a bit than…. No problem man."
"Demi…" Justin quietly spoke again as placed his hand on her chin, thankful she didn't freak out again. "Nick said he will be her in fifteen minutes, okay?" Still no response.
Justin sighed and looked over at Selena who was sitting on the floor a few feet away from them, her eyes fixed on Demi as quiet tears fell down her face. He couldn't help but to wish for Nick to show up soon because one emotional girl was hard enough but to add on two was too much for him to deal with on his own. He looked down at his watch to see that the curly hair Jonas should be showing up any time now.
Sure enough there was a knock on the door before it swung open and in rushed Nick.
"Demi."
At the sound of his voice Demi's head shot up and she began to cry harder as she jumped up and rushed into the boy's awaiting arms. He held her tight to his chest as he ran his fingers through her hair to help calm her as he sat them down on the floor with her in his lap.
"Shh, it's okay Demz, I got you."
"I…. I broke he….her….. I'm a…a ter….terible person."
"Shh, no. You're a wonderful person Demi, absolutely perfect."
"Sh….She h..hates me."
Nick glanced over at Selena making eye contact as he spoke, "No babygirl she doesn't, she's just hurt." He looked down at Demi as a loud cry escaped her and gently kissed her as he started to softly sing.
'Just when you think, hope is lost and giving up is all you got.
Blue turns black. Your confidence cracked.
There seems no turning back from here.
Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation
Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations
That's when you can build a bridge of light.
That's what turns the wrongs all right,
That's when you can't give up the fight.
That's when love turns nighttime into day
That's when loneliness goes away
That's why you gotta be strong tonight.
Only love can build us a bridge of light.
When your feet are made of stone.
And you're convince your all alone
Look at the stars instead of the dark
You'll find your heart shines like the sun
But lets not let our anger get us lost
When the need to be right comes with way too high a cost
That's when love can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrongs all right
That's when you know it's worth the fight
That when love turns nighttime into day
That's when loneliness goes away
That's why you gotta be strong tonight
Cause only love can build us a bridge of light.'
Selena watched as Demi slowly started to calm down and began to fall asleep as Nick continued to sing softly to her as he rocked her in his arms. It was then that she realized that she has no idea who demi is anymore or what she's truly been dealing with since that day. All this time she thought she was the only one hurting and broken but she was wrong. She just didn't know how wrong she was.
…oOo…
Once Demi had fully fallen asleep, Justin showed Nick to her bunk so he could place her in her bed to rest comfortably.
The three remained silent as they sat around the table, all lost in thought and not sure what to say. It had been years since Nick had seen Selena, in fact the last time he actually saw and spoke to her properly was the day they had decided to break up.
"I'm sorry."
The two boys looked up at the raven hair beauty with a confused look, waiting for her to continue. They watched as she looked down at her hands before looking out the window as she silently spoke.
"I shouldn't have said the things, that I said to her. I was just so mad and hurt and all the anger and hurt that had been building up for the last couple years just came spilling out. I didn't mean for it to, it just happened. I wanted to hurt her, I wanted her to hurt like I have, if not worse. I just… I shouldn't have said it. I'm so sorry."
Justin quickly got up and pulled the crying girl into his arms as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"I understand Selena I do." Nick started. "But you have to understand these past two years haven't been easy on Demi either. I know what happen between you two, she has carried that day with her every single second of every day. Theres some things that had happen to Demi when she was younger that you didn't know about, only her mother and sister knew before she told me. It was a main reason behind her demons and why she couldn't love herself let alone love anyone else. If you ever want Demi back into your life again you'll have to start by trying to forgive her and getting to know her again."
"What things? What happened to her?"
"It's not my secret to tell. When she's ready she'll share it. But I need y'all to promise me something. Demi's been sober from both alchol and drugs and self harm since she's gotten out of rehab. But its hard, little things can set her off. When she called me I could tell she was going to relaps that's why I called Justin. I need yall to promise that once I leave, you'll keep an eye on her if she's having a nervous break down just try to calm her and call me or Naya."
"Naya?" Selena questioned?
"Yeah Rivera."
"From glee?"
"Yes."
"When did they become friends?" Selena questioned.
"Um well it's a hush, hush thing right now but Demi will be playing her love interest in this season and they've became close."
"Love interest? As in she's going to play a lesbian on tv?'
"I guess but between you and me, it aint much her playing, since she will be coming out the night the premier does."
"Coming out?"
"Uh um…." Nick stuttered not realizing that Selena didn't know.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that I'm a lesbian Selena."
They all jumped at the sound of Demi's voice. She was standing in the door way leant up against the wall staring straight at Selena who had a mix between shock and anger on her face.
