On the next day I decided to invite Demi to a coffee because I felt bad about that night. I mean, it was pretty embarassing for her. I practically told her that I'd rather spend my time with a Girl I met a week ago instead of with my best friend or...my former best friend. But it was not my only reason. I didnt Forget what Miley told me about Demi. Demi had told her that I wasnt interested. So we were sitting in a coffee shop, chatting casually when I decided to bring it up.
''So what have you been up to lately? We havent talked much.'' She asked me and sipped on her Frappe'. ''Nothing much. The usual. I went out with Miley twice, she's really nice.'' I said. I wondered if she would tell me that they had talked about me. She nodded. ''Oh, I know. Miley was really excited about it. You shouldnt Keep in touch if you arent interested though, I dont wanna get her hurt or anything.'' she stated. I lifted my eyebrow and looked at her suspiciously. ''Why would I go out with her if I wasnt interested?'' i asked her. ''Oh come on, Nick! I know you wanna make me jealous!'' she declared and smiled at me innocently as if she was happy about it. For a second I thought 'Shit' but then I put on a mask and smirked at her. ''Oh, you would like that, wouldnt you Demi. But I have News for you..'' i told her. Then I leant Forward slightly and continued. ''The world does not revolve around you.'' I whispered mischievously. She looked shocked for a Moment but then leant back and acted relaxed about it. ''I dont care what you do, just dont Play around with her Nick.'' she told me seriously. ''Why would you care anyways?'' i asked and rolled my eyes at her. ''I know that she has been through a lot in her past and I can tell she thinks you like her. I may not act like it but I do care about Miley.'' she said. My Expression softened at that. Demi never showed when she cared about something and when she said it she meant it. It somehow made her more likable to admit things like that . I remembered why it was still so hard for me to get over her. And when it came to Miley; it was not like I had planned to hurt her. I just involved her to get Demi jealous and it helped that it really was fun with her. She wouldnt find out that I Kind of used her, so it shouldnt hurt her. ''Whatever.'' I said, not really knowing how to answer. ''I'm serious Nick! Quit playing games!'' she exclaimed and slammed her Hands on the table when she saw that I didnt really think about it. I sighed. ''I'm not playing alright? I really do like her.'' I added. Demi didnt look convinced but she dropped it. I realised that Demi was jealous, but she discovered my purpose. Now I had to make her believe it.
When you think about it, it shouldnt really matter that much that I went out with Miley. It's not like she was my girlfriend, we only went out twice. But she was not only one of Demi's friends, she was her roommate. She was the closest Person to Demi after Joe and Me. Which Girl would want her former best friend (the one she flirted with) to go out with her friend. Till that day I didnt know that Miley and Demi were Close. Sure, they had to be good friends to move in together but they acted more like it was forced.
''Are you guys Close?'' I asked Demi after a few minutes of silence. Demi looked up at me, then bit her lip with a concentrated look across her flawless face. ''I dont know.. I mean.. we tell each other a lot and we are like, best friends but... I wouldnt say that we're like normal best friends 'cause when we spend time together we are really Close but then when we separate we act like we just met eachother. But I think its because of her personality, she doesnt like to open up, she just... shuts herself out. I dont know, she's strange, you gotta get to know her to understand what I mean.'' she told me.
Something about how she talked surprised me. Demi looked completely honest. She sounded clueless, when she tried to think about an answer to that question. Like she didnt know how Close they were and tried to figure it out. This was the first time that I really thought about Miley. It wasnt easy to confuse Demi. Demi was very good at reading People; their past, their mind, everything. But something about this Girl made Demi helpless. She couldnt figure her out and that was probably why Demi was acting so strange around her.
Demi interrupted my thoughts by blowing air out of her nose as an annoyed gesture. ''It isnt my fault. One second she is just acting normal and then the next she is like super quiet and you ask her whats wrong and she wont say anything. The first few times I thought I did something wrong and tried to say sorry but she wouldnt talk to me. I thought she was bipolar or something. I read some articles about bipolar disorders and stuff. And I checked everytime but she was never acting aggressive and of course I dont know what she is thinking so.. '' she babbled out. I could tell that she had been Holding it in for quite some time. I just nodded and took everything in. I hoped Miley wasnt bipolar, I didnt want to mess with her if she was.. ''Dont get me wrong, Nick. I dont want to talk about her like this behind her back but its just...I feel like I Need to talk about it with someone. Usually she is the one who listens..'' Demi said. ''It's okay.'' I whispered. Although what she said really got to me and I really started thinking about it, I couldnt help but feel like she told me this on purpose, to scare me off of her. Maybe it wasnt that bad, maybe she was just exaggerating.
I shook it off and continued my day without thinking about Miley. The next week was a pretty busy week for me. I had a lot of work to do and other appointments and I didnt find time to spend with Miley or my Family. I texted Miley regularly to make sure she didnt think I got bored or anything.
The next Friday, I decided to stop by at Miley and Demis Apartment. I knocked on the door and Demi opened. ''Hello.'' she greeted me and hugged me. ''Hi. What are you doing? I thought I'd stop by..'' I explained. Demi tucked her hair behind her ear and laughed. ''We're trying to move in. Painting the walls today.'' She told and laughed. ''Why didnt you call, I would help.'' I said as we walked into her bedroom. Two of the walls were already painted. Purple, what a surprise. But then I saw Joe Standing in the Corner, shirtless and a Paintbrush in the Hand. My mood got killed instantly. Not because my brother Joe was in there but because Demi's Boyfriend Joe was there. And he was shirtless. I dont even want to know what they were doing before I interrupted. Joe turned around and waved his Hand slightly. ''Or you dont Need my help. Thats ok.'' i mumbled and gulped. Of course she would call her boyfriend first what was I thinking. I scratched the back of my head, not really knowing what to do. I felt awkward for a Moment but then I realised that Joe was helping Demi with her room and Miley was probably in her room, trying to paint the walls alone. ''Miley is painting too, right?'' I asked demi and began to take my Jacket off. Demi looked at me dissapointed. ''Yeah but...My room is bigger and hers is soo small, she can do it by herself. You should help here.'' she tried to Keep me there with a silly attempt. Joe stopped and looked at Demi who was looking at her nails and trying to cover it up. I chuckled. ''Why? You have Joe here, I wont leave her helpless when you clearly dont Need my help.'' I said and then turned around and went out of her room. I walked up to Mileys Room that was next to Demi's. Miley was painting the wall Navy blue. She had her iPod on loudspeaker and a Jason Derulo song was playing. Miley was singing along to it and she had a beautiful voice. I cleared my throat and made my way over to her. She snapped her head back and a bright smile broke out on her face. ''I thought you could use some help.'' I said and wrapped my arms around her waist. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I felt something wet on my neck and brought my Hand up to see what it was. My Hand was blue from the paint and when I looked up at Mileys face she looked guilty. ''Sorry'' she said and laughed. I couldnt even be mad at her. I smiled to let her know it's okay. I grabbed a Brush and dipped it into the paint. ''Wow. Great Color.'' I said to her. She nodded. ''It's my favorite Color. When I was Little, I always wanted my room navy blue, but I had to share a room with my sister, and she decided she wanted pink soo..'' she told me. ''So your parents just Chose Pink?'' I asked her and began to paint the wall. ''Yeah.'' she answered. ''Are you older than her? Maybe thats why they did what she wanted.'' I suggested. ''I'm two years older. I dont think two years are Long enough..'' she said. Suddenly she looked saddened. I wanted to light up the mood again and swiped my brush across her arm. ''Hey!'' she exclaimed and looked at me. ''Revenge.'' I said and laughed at her Expression.
