Demi's POV
"Demi, listen to me." Joe reached to touch my face but I jerked away from him and stood up, walking to a corner of the wall, feeling the tears at the rim of my eyes.
"No." I quivered, feeling like I could break apart and sink into the depths of the floor any second.
"Demi LISTEN!" Joe yelled. I flinched, and he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. We stood there for a second. Me scrunched against the wall and him standed in front of me. Close. Not alone. I ignored the sinking feeling in my body.
"Run away with me." He finally said.
"What?"
"Demi I LOVE YOU." He put emphisis on every word. Especially my name, and the way he said my name it sounded like I was some sort of angel.
"D-don't say that." My brain flickered the pictures in my head of them leaving, saying I love you, and not keeping their promise. It's all a lie.
"I love you." He repeated, walking closer. I pressed my back against the wall tighter, as if I was suddenly going to crash through it.
"T-taylor." I reminded him, but Joe just kept staring at me. His eyes moving around my face, as if he was rememering every little detail. I flinched again, the memories.
"I. Love. You." His eyes glued to mine. As much as I tried to pull away I couldn't. And my body started quivering again. LOVE. No...
"No." I said.
"Demi, I know you love me, too."
"No."
"Just admit it."
"No. NO! NO! NO!" I pushed him away then ran to the corner of the room. Joe followed me patiently, but I could see the hurt in his eyes. He took another deep breath.
"No."
"You love me."
"No I DON'T! Love doesn't EXIST!"
"YES IT DOES, DEMI! It does! Now don't say no if you want me to leave! Don't say no because you want me to stop telling you the TRUTH! Love it REAL! Just say no if you REALLY, TRULY, do not....love me." Joe's voice broke at the last two words. I took a shaking breath and felt myself sliding to the ground. Down beneath the surface, I felt like I was being pulled into hell. I felt weak. Used. But not alone...
"No." I finally whispered, the hot wet tears made me feel like fainting. And I hoped that I eventually would, so I would fall out of this lie. But not his lie...mine. I did love him.
Joe kneeled down by me. He caressed my cheek as I avoided his body, his gaze, everything. I lied. I'm a liar. He doesn't...I lied.
"I love you, Demi. You remember that." His lips touched mine, for only a second, but I stood frozen until they were gone.
Away. Disappeared. Gone.
His lips left all his feelings planted on mine. And the ones that stuck out most were love......and pain.
