I awoke around 10:30 PM because I had to pee, and then I couldn't fall back asleep. I lay under the soft covers staring at the ceiling wishing I had something to occupy my mind with. After twenty minutes of nothingness I finally decided to go for a late night swim.

I put on my black bikini and wrapped up in towel. As I was pulling my hair into a messy bun I slipped on my flip flops that were by the door. Making sure I had my room key I shut the door and made my way to the elevator.

I walked out onto the patio and saw that there was a towel and bag already on one of the pool chairs. I didn't want to leave, I was already here; I set my things on a pool chair on the other side of the patio and then took off my towel.

I walked over to the edge of the pool and sat down sticking my feet in the water. I closed my eyes a moment and sighed as I listened to the grasshoppers, and then the splashing of water as the other person who was out here came up for air.

I opened my eyes to see a pretty girl with messy blond hair and brown eyes, sporting a simple brown bikini. I almost put her out of mind as I looked the other direction, but did a double take realizing that it was Demi. What were the odds of us staying at the same hotel?

She smiled a goofy smile at me and swam over to where I was sitting. Demi held onto the wall right beside me and laughed. "What are the odds?" she said.

"What? That we'd be at the same hotel, or that we both decided to come for a night swim?" I said with a smirk. No, stop! Don't be a bitch to her! God I hate myself sometimes. "So how are you?" I asked trying to sound nicer and a little casual.

"I'm good," she told me as she grinned that famous Lovato grin of hers. "Actually get in the pool," Demi took my hand in hers and tried to pull me in. "Please!" she said.

"Fine," I said rolling my eyes, but not being able to hide the blush on my face. I slid into the water and stood next to Demi.

"Yay. Now I'm not lonely anymore."

"Well I'm glad I could give you some company," I say before quickly going under the water to get the rest of my body wet. I came back up and noticed that Demi was looking at my body head to toe as best she could in the water. I didn't say anything, these little gestures were driving me nuts and didn't want them to stop.

"I really did love your audition," she said as she began to do a breast stroke across the pool.

"Thanks," I told her. Then I quickly started swimming towards her so we could continue our conversation. "It means a lot to me that you liked it," I told her once we were both on the other end of the pool. It was the deep end, so we rested our arms on the wall to stay afloat.

"It means a lot to me that one of my beautiful Lovatics sang that song," she told me. Demi inched a little closer towards me. People give Demi chills with their X Factor auditions? She was giving me all kinds of chills with our close proximity.

"Stop it before you kill this Lovatic," I said with a laugh.

Demi laughed. I love her laugh, it's so cute. "I would never," she said in a playful voice.

"Sto-o-o-o-op it-t-t-t!" I said trying to stop myself from laughing.

"I think you and I are going to be close this season," she said. "You're really cool, and you're funny. Let's not forget your beauty and your talents." I looked away for a moment to hide the sad expression I knew was on my face. "What's wrong?" Demi asked pulling me close to her in a comforting way.

"You keep saying I'm beautiful and I'm pretty," I comment.

"Because you are. You're gorgeous and I can't help but comment on it every chance I get," she said.

"Well I'm glad that you think so," I said, my voice a little melancholy.

"What do you mean?" Demi now sounded concerned, and that was the last thing I wanted to do. When I realized it was her I was hoping this would just be fun and we would hang out. Now she really cares, and there's no turning back.

"N-never mind," I said as I pulled away from her and hoisted myself out of the pool with my arms. I walked over to where my things were and grabbed them. From the time I got out of the water to the time I got in the elevator, the night had become silent. It was eerie and way too quiet, but I was used to the quietness. The quiet, lonely night had been my best friend for some time now.
