That's Why - Jemi Chapter 71

THEN: AUTHOR'S POV
Oh god. "I... After I helped Demi onto her bus I asked her if she wanted me to stay to have someone to talk to but instead she wanted to drink... Then she came onto me and I... we... had sex." Nick blurted the last part, and even saying it out loud sounded so strange, Nick and Demi? That wasn't right. Joe looked down at the ground, his hands turning into clenched fists at his sides, as he slightly started to shake, his face changing into a burning red color.

"You have about five seconds to get the fuck away from me before I tear your head off." Joe spoke through clamped teeth not bothering to look at his brother because he knew what would happen if he did. Nick retreated from Joe silently, his head hung, feeling the most worthless he's ever felt in his life. Joe just stood there, a shaking, angry ball until finally heated tears streamed down his face. Joe fell to his knees. Why did he have to be such a coward, why was he so immature all the time, why couldn't he just grow up? If he was a real man he would never have broken up with Demi in the first place. If he was a decent person he would have told someone, or pushed Demi into telling someone about her issues. He would have gotten her help long ago, long before it boiled over and exploded.

Now look how screwed up everything was. He has never been so unhappy before, he lost Demi, he lost Nick, his closest friends, and he had nothing anymore. His career didn't matter, his life, his family, it all meant nothing without Demi there to share it with him. Joe collected himself enough to stand up and go make a phone call. "Dianna?" Joe asked. "No it's Dallas, and I would not call back here unless you wouldn't mind peeing sitting down for the rest of your life." Dallas was pissed. "No wait please Dallas, please listen to me for two minutes please!" Joe begged. "Trust me I heard it all from Demi. I never want to hear from you again Joe, do you understand? No go get ready for your stupid show that's worthless now that Demi isn't there." The line went dead. Frustrated Joe threw his phone across his bus, not caring when he heard the smashing and breaking sound the screen of the phone made when it hit the wall.

NOW: AUTHOR'S POV
Dr. Kay and Demi sat silently on the bench after Demi finished her story. Demi was just hiccupping now after retelling one of the worst events in her life. Saying it out loud and recalling all the details almost made it seem like it was happening again. The emotions Demi felt then were the same she was feeling now, just as intense and just as hurtful. The Dr. rubbed Demi's knee slightly and waited a few more minutes before speaking. "How do you feel now?'' Demi turned her red, tear stained face to her Dr. "Like shit." They laughed. "But a little better." Demi rolled her eyes, knowing her stupid Dr. ended up being right again. Dr. Kay nodded once, satisfied that Demi seemed to be making progress.

Compared to when Demi first checked in, she was doing much better. She wasn't trying to drown herself, or refuse to eat, talk, sleep, or function like a human. She's making progress which always lifts the Drs. spirits and makes her believe that all the time, tears, effort weren't worthless after all. "Do you think you can come to terms with your past? I mean now that most of it is all out in the open." The Dr. swept her arms out in front of her, as if Demi's issues were just floating in the air around them. The girl shrugged, "I guess, I can try at least... it's a lot to think about. I mean from my childhood with my shitty father, to Joe, and Nick, and all the issues in between." Demi's head tilted to the side as she actually pondered coming to terms with everything instead of running away. Instead of being the little girl that just let everything build inside until she couldn't hold it down anymore and it exploded out of her in terrible choices and bad habits.
