Title: The Artist and The Writer: A Jemi Love Story (Twelve) View count: 974 Rating: 5.0 (15 ratings) Description: I get it SCENE Continuing... DEMI'S POV Joe, as promised, took me home because I was feeling sick. He seemed worried about me. Seemed is the key word. I knew he didn't give a damn about me, and I had to get that through my head. In the car, he asked me something. "Why were you so mad back there?" "Nothing..." I mumbled rudely. "I just figured...that I meant something to you and you wouldn't be lying to me like this!" "I had good reason!" he objected. "She's very hesitant of me telling people! She thinks girls get jealous, or something." Wow. There was one thing I liked about her. "Good thing I'm not jealous. But seriously Joe, you really hurt me." Joe didn't say anything. "You..." my mouth fell opened. "You don't think you did anything wrong!" I accused. "Well I did not do anything!" he repeated. "I do not see why you are so mad at me!" "You LIED to me!" I shouted. "You kissed me and told me I was beautiful, and then you tell me you have a girlfriend! A famous one, at that!" "You are acting so weird!" "Drop me off and go home," I ordered. "I don't want to talk to you right now." "Fine..." he said while pulling into my driveway. "Get out of my car." I started to unbuckle my seat belt. I looked over at him, and gave him a hard, quick slap in the face. "Demetria!" he scolded. I stuck my tongue out at him and got out of his fancy car. I ran to my front door with tears streaming down my face. Joe was already leaving when I finally got the door open. I couldn't wait for Selena to come over and demand to know why I left school early. I had a lot to tell her, and I needed to vent to someone. Sure enough, at 3 PM, Sel was bursting through my door. I was waiting in the kitchen for her, and she seemed very suspicious. "Alright, what happened?" she asked. "Get a sudden urge to see Joe?" "No! He has a girlfriend..." I told her with sadness clouding my voice. "He kissed me...and he has a girlfriend." "He has a GIRLFRIEND?!" she repeated. "They didn't say anything like that in the magazines!" "He's dating Taylor Swift." "Taylor SWIFT?!" she repeated again. "Holy crap! I am so surprised that he didn't tell the press! That's good PR!" "That's WHY," I said. "They kept it a secret and Joe finally figured he could trust me enough to tell me. A day after we kissed! Who does that?!" "Oh. I get it." "Get what?" I looked up. "You're heartbroken because he led you on." Selena sat down, across from me, and set her backpack down on my kitchen floor. "Tell me." "...Yeah. He was so sweet and genuine and he doesn't even CARE.." "Well...who needs him?" "You know, if I stop being friends with Joe, you won't ever see Nick again," I smiled at her, knowing that would set her off. "...This friendship is more important. Come on, let's go have some study time. I brought your homework." I sighed. "I dunno, Sel. I'm not in the mood." "Alright. I'll go set your homework in your room and then I'll leave. Sound OK?" I smiled and nodded. "Thanks." Selena did what she said she would, and pretty soon I was left alone in my kitchen, thinking about Joe. Should I really have slapped him? I knew he was probably hurt by that...no wait Demi, he isn't. He's too busy dreaming about his stupid perfect girlfriend. His life was perfect and I was just ruining it for him. He never cared about you Demi, I thought. No one ever cared about you. And you don't ever have to care about him again. I heard a soft, low knock on my door. I stood up to get it as I wiped my eyes, and I was half surprised to see Joe standing in the rain with a frown on his face. "Listen Demi...I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, and I never should have lied to you. Please forgive me." I thought about it as Joe stood there. I noticed he had roses in one hand, and the other hand was tucked nervously into his jacket pocket. I shut the door in his face. JJDL Tags: jemi, love, story, Author: crez104 |
