Hey guys I know I haven't updated in about a month but isn't the important thing that I updated now? If you follow my twitter you would know why I haven't updated and what's going on. But I've noticed people aren't reviewing my stories and I need help! My friends say they are allergic to reading. So please let me know what you think I should do cuz the story was so great in my mind but I have trouble getting it out. I always have that problem! Oh and I've been thinking of changing the name of the story. Suggestions? Ok now onto the story.
Diclaimer: I own nothing just the plot
Nicks POV
I start to look around for Demi or even Selena. I see that she is at a really long table. Is that her family cuz she has a really big family. Those little kids must be her cousins or niece or nephews. I see that once she is standing she finds an empty seat and the little girl sitting down she picks her up so Selena can sit down while the little girl sits on Demis' lap. After a few mins I go find my brothers and Shane. Last thing I want is for Demi to see me watching her and think I'm some sort of weird stalker.
After looking around I find them playing that arcade game deal or no deal. I see that they probably have been playing that game for a while because there are a lot of tickets hanging out of the machine. Plus they are screaming at the machine because they just lost.
"Hey dude where have you been?" My brother Joe asks
"Ya we were looking for you but then we saw this game and decided to play just one quick game but then I started winning. This game is like addicting." Kevin says putting another token in the machine
Soon after they are playing Selena comes up and hugs Shane. "you know I had a feeling that you were playing this game." Selena says
"Where's Demi?" Shane asks
"She's over there playing a game of air hockey with her cousin." She says pointing to the air hockey table. I look over to see Demi playing air hockey with the teenage girl I saw at the airport pick Demi up. "The game has been going on for a while now. Her cousin is really competitive. Oh look at that the game is over. Demi you can beat me but you cant beat your 17 year old cousin. All right." Demi's cousin gives Selena a high five then walks away.
"Whatever she probably practices at home." Demi says. "Great now I'm going to hear it for the next few months. 'Remember when I beat you at air hockey?'"
(Ok I'm going to skip to when they are arriving back home in Dallas, TX cuz I wanna start getting to some drama to keep people interested)
Demi's POV
I had a really good time back home, I was sad to leave my family and Selena. I really missed her she said she would come visit soon. I also got to make some new friends like Shane, and Nick. I really like him he's so funny and sweet. But there is something in my head that keeps telling me that he's just like all of my other boyfriends and he'll make me feel happy for a while and then he will break my heart like the rest of them. I just don't want to believe it. I'm getting off the airplane right now and then I go get my luggage. Once all the luggage is going around on that carousal thing I see Alyson waiting for me. I hug her.
"Ally! I've missed you so much!" I says "Where's Anna?" I ask looking around
"She had to work but don't worry she said she would come visit you tonight." I forgot I was supposed to be looking for my luggage and of course my luggage is the last one to come out."Well come on the car is waiting." She says taking my duffel bag "So are you taking tomorrow off to rest?"
I laugh "Me? A day off? Yeah right. I'm going to have to start coming into work extra early to catch up with all the work I've missed this week." I say looking out my window "plus I have a meeting with my boss tomorrow at 2 o' clock then I have to catch up with filing, and putting all of that paperwork into the system." I groan throwing my head back against the seat just thinking about all the work that has to be done. "Ally I need another vacation! I don't want to go back to work."
She laughs " You should really get some rest if you are going to work tomorrow. If I were you I would take another two days off. I mean you spent your week with your family and those people like to party all night and sleep til noon. So I know you did too. Right?" She says pulling over.
"No only once or twice." I say jumping out of the car. I get my keys out of my messenger bag and start walking towards my door. Once I get the door open I can definitely tell that Alyson and Anna have been here with the little mess that they made. Then I see Ollie barking as he comes running towards the door. The one thing I missed besides Ally, Anna and my grandmother.
"Ollie! I've missed you soooo much!" I bend down to pet him. I adopted Ollie when he was just a puppy. He was so tiny that I didnt think he would grow so much but now Ollie is as big as a lab. But hes not a lab I'm still trying to figure it out.
Soon Ally comes in with my duffel bag and luggage. "Thats ok I dont need any help. It's not like these bags are filled with your stuff." I look over to see Alyson struggling. I can't help but laugh then I run over to grab the luggage from her. "So where do you want your stuff?"
"Just put it on my bed because my laptop is in there."
"So did u see any of your old friends?" Alyson asks throwing herself on my couch
I walk into the kitchen to get myself an apple "ya I saw Selena, John , Cassie and this guy I met on the plane."
"OMG what guy?" Alyson says sitting up practically on the edge of her seat
"Relax his name is Nick I met him on the plane but we ran into each other a couple of times around town."I say as I take my green already washed apple to the living room when Alyson is sitting. And Ollie follows.
" What do you mean you ran into him? There are a lot of people in Milwaukee there is no way that you ran into him a couple of times unless you guys were stalking each other." She says giving me this weird look
"Ok well Selena has a boyfriend—" I start to say until Alyson cuts me off
"Awww is Nick Selena's boyfriend? He is isn't he? Awww I'm so sorry."Then she hugs me as if it were my cue to start crying or something.
I push her off "No If you would let me finish and not cut me off please." Then she just nods for me to continue. " Thank you. Ok Selena's boyfriend is actually Nicks cousin. So I hung out with Selena alot and Selena and her boyfriend are practically attached."
"Is Nick hot?" Alyson asks
"Alyson!" I scold "Is that all you think about?"
"Ok I soooo don't mean to sound shallow or anything It's just the first thing I look for In a guy is if he's hot or not. Like Doctor Gellar at the hospital he's hot." Alyson says laying back and snatching my apple to take the first bite.
"First of all Doctor Gellar is like five years older than you. Secondly I was about to eat that apple." I say
"Five years isn't that far an age gap when u were 17 you thought Tom Welling and Justin Hartley were hot." (A/N: if you don't know who they are, those are two guys that r hot, well I think)
"They were hot back when I was 17" I said defensively
"Demi, they were like thirty!" Alyson said
"OK in my defense they looked really young. Tom Welling was playing a kid who just graduated high school in his tv show so really you can't blame me." I walked into my room to change in my pajamas. It was only 5 o' clock but its not like I was going anywhere. It's Sunday I just want to rest before I have to get up and go to work. Once I get my pajamas on I rejoin Alyson in the living room.
"same thing goes with Doctor Gellar even you have gotta admit he does look young and-" I look at her before she says hot. "handsome for his age."
"Ok I don't wanna talk about this anymore." I say
"So Nick where does he live?" Alyson asks turning on the tv flipping through the channels.
"He actually lives here in Dallas." I say
"Cool then go out with him." Alyson says
"How about its more complicated than that. Everything isn't always simple." I say then I hear a knock on the door. "Alyson go get the door." I ask really nicely hoping she'll answer it so I don't have to get up
"What this isn't my house I don't live here." Alyson says
" You practically do." I says "Please? I'm tired I just got off a three hour plane ride."
" Yea like an hour ago." Alyson says there is more knocking. "Here is a way neither one of us have to get up. COME IN!" Alyson yells
Anna comes in "Hey D! I missed you! Oh by the way here is your iron before I forget."
"What? When did you take my iron?" I ask
"While you were on vacation." She says "mine broke but I didn't want to buy a new one because I barely use it so I just took yours."
"umm ok?" I say getting up to put it away.
"So Anna, Demi just met a guy." Alyson says I had a feeling Alyson was gonna bring that up. On my way back I grab a Sunkist soda for myself.
I come back to the living room "What? It's about time! Who is he? what's his name?"
"You guys are making it sound like we are going out we just met last week." I say I look up to see Anna still in her daycare shirt, jeans and pink and black Nike shoes.
"You are avoiding the question!" Anna says getting up to grab something from the kitchen.
"His name is Nick, he lives here in Dallas, he's a music teacher at the local high school down the street from my office, and he's Selena's boyfriend's cousin. There happy?" I say Anna comes back with two sodas one for her and Alyson.
"Well you should go out with him or somebody because you haven't dated in a while. I mean In order to find 'Mr. Right' you have to go out there and look for him. He's not just gonna show up on your doorstep and say 'Hey D It's me the perfect guy for you'. Plus you have a habit to distract yourself with work so you don't have to face these problems. I know that you know I'm right." She says laying back on the couch.
Later they both went home and I started to think about what Anna said and how right she is. The only thing stopping me is myself. I fall asleep hoping I don't have to deal with this for a while.
The next morning
I wake up to my stupid alarm at 5am. I hate getting up in the morning I can't wait til I retire and I don't ever have to wake up in the mornings. I get up check outside to check the whether. I see that it's still a little cold but it will warm up later on in the day. I go inside put on some jogging pants, a hoodie, my black and silver Nike, my iPod, keys and a wrist watch that I rarely wear.
I run down the street to a little ditch that leads to a park that has a track so I can run. I run for about forty five minutes. I decide to walk back home and start getting ready for work. I open the door so I can finish getting ready. About 7:10 am, I am ready and head off to work. Starbucks is to busy so along the way I grab a Mocha Frappe from their McCafe. I walk into my office building.
"Hey Samantha, any messages while I was out?" Samantha is like our secretary for everyone. I always stop by her desk before going to my office.
"Hi Demi, Welcome back. Nothing really just Gabriel says not to forget your meeting this afternoon but he had a client coming in at 2 o' clock so he pushed your meeting back until 3." By the way Gabriel is my boss. I should've seen this coming he is always pushing our meetings back.
"Ok thank you I will be in my office catching up on some work. Transfer any calls for me to my office. Thanks." I say walking into my office and locking my purse and other stuff up in the cabinets. I look over at my desk to see it was even messier than I had left it. I'm a partial Social Worker also I'm a partial counselor. I do both here at my job. Mostly counseling I only do Social Worker jobs if my boss asks me to or a situation demands it and there isn't anyone else available. So all the children that other Social Workers around the building think they need counseling they give me their file so I can look over them and call them in to talk to.
After about an hour and a half I am done filing. I start to look over the files the other Social Workers had given me There is only 6 files. I thought there would have been alot more. I look through the names to see one of them has a post it on it. It says
Demi I know you're busy but Please talk to this student ASAP! –Lauren
Lauren is a Social Worker that works down the hall. I look over this child's folder to see why. And I see that this child is in high school and goes to Nick's school. Lauren made some notes on how she might think this child Beth is depressed. I look over at the clock to see that it's only 9:30 am she should be in school right now I grab my purse and tell Samantha to take any messages. I head down to the high school and go straight to the special office called the DC which angel told be stands for the Discipline Center. That's where they go so the Vice principal tells you depending on what you did wrong they gove you either lunch detention or Suspension.
"Hi Susanne." I say I already know the secretary because I've been here a couple of times
"Hi Dallas. Which student do you need to see?"
"A student named Beth Martinez." I say as Susanne starts typing away on the computer to figure out what class this student is in.
"Oh such a lovely and sweet and quiet girl she has office aide in here with me 5th period. She is so helpful so is Angel." She says "Ok here we go she has choir with Mr. Jonas in the band hall. But I don't have a student aide to go get her..."
I can't help but smile when she says Mr. Jonas."That's ok I will go get her myself. I remember Angel gave me a tour of the school once."
"Oh ok when you return you can use our conference room."
"Thanks" Once I get to his room I knock then enter. I could hear music suddenly stop and I see Nick walking toward the door by where I am.
"Hey Demi," Nick says then I can see that there is a mix of jocks in here I never thought there would be jocks in choir "What can I do for you." He is now standing in front of the choir children. I walk more into the room to meet him by his podium is. His room is very neat and organized. Once I reach him one of the jocks whistles at me. I hate when guys do that. I look like crap today I am so tired. I'm wearing black pants a gray and black shirt with black flats. "Guys start warming up." Then I can hear everyone practicing something different.
"Hey Nick, I just need to talk to this student and I need you to fill out this form whenever you have time like your conference period or something. I just need it by Thursday morning the latest. You can just fax it to this number," I circle a number at the top of the page. "or you can just drop it off at this location," I circle the address at the bottom of the page. I'm always at the office I usually get to the office around 7am If you drop it off make sure you give it to me please the secretary spilled her coffee on those forms last time and the teachers were not happy when I told them they had to fill out another. Sorry for it being last minute and for interrupting your class."
"No, It's fine I don't mind at all. You want this student now?"Nick asks
"Yes please." I say
"Ok Beth come here and bring your stuff." Nick says
I look to see Beth getting her backpack on. She reminds me so much of myself when I was her age. "Am I in trouble?" She asks quietly
"No I just want to have a little chat." I say "By the way I'm Demi." I put my hand out for her shake. "Ok thanks Nick. Bye" I say.
I walk away with Beth to go talk with her.
Nicks POV
I watch Demi walk out with one of my best students. I look down at the form again. I look at the questions they are mostly asking about Beth and how she acts towards other students, and other behavioral questions. Then I look at the address at the bottom of the page to see where she circled. I look again I might drop it off before school so this may be the perfect opportunity to see her again after all school doesn't start until 8:50.
"Ok let's start with our first song."
