"Mike." Jake spat. "I guess we knew it was you the entire time."
"Wasn't too hard to figure out." Mike's voice was like ice. It chilled your entire body and sent tremulous shivers down your spine. Demi did her best to keep it together, but her involuntary trembling was evident.
"What the hell do you want? You have no business here." Jake said as he moved in front of Demi. "Text Joe." He whispered to her. She barely nodded.
"I could say the same about you," Mike said icily. "Weren't you expelled or something?"
Mike moved closer and in response Jake closed in. In the blink of an eye Mike had a knife and he was lunging toward Jake. It flashed so quickly before Demi's eyes. She heard Jake's cry in pain as she watched Tom quite literally pick Mike up and throw him against Demi's car simultaneously pinning him down and setting off Demi's car alarm. Demi multitasked, dialing 911 and trying in vain to fish her keys out of her bag.
"Are you okay? Are you okay?" Demi repeated again and again frantically trying to help Jake up.
"I'm bleeding not deaf." he retorted, but it didn't hold the same effect to his casual sarcasm. His face was drawn and pale and he was losing blood.
"It'll be okay jake, just hang in there okay? Just hang in there." She repeated this again and again, not quite sure if it was for jake or for herself.
. . .
The police and ambulance arrived simultaneously. They erected yellow caution tape and rushed jake to the E.R. just before the bell rang, signaling the school days end. But it was no use. Half of the school saw what happened and the entire whole of the student body had heard. Demi tried to hold in her tears and stay close to Tom, but as soon as she saw Joe on the other side of the yellow caution tape she broke down in his arms.
"You're okay, You're okay." Now it was his turn for the mantra.
He let her cry in out for a few minutes. They were both well aware of the growing audience. People were more interested in the pop star dating the small town girl than they were about the actual fight. The cat was out of the bag but they didn't care. It was as if the walls that had ironically been erected to protect each other were broken down in unison as the couple finally let each other in since Joe had been back. Bittersweet was the only way to describe their emotions.
"I called your parents. I told them I'd drive you home."
"Okay." Her voice broke. She risked a glimpse around the crime scene instantly cringing at the audience to her horror. "Can we go now?"
Joe nodded as if silently acknowledging the audience as well. Once they arrived to her house with Tom in tow Demi was greeted warmly by her parents. It was only then that she realized that she hand't merely just put walls in between her and Joe, but herself and her parents as well. The overwhelming love and warmth from her parents only intensifies her emotions.
"Are you okay, sweetie? Is there anything you need?" Her mother choked out.
"I need to see Jake. I have to know he's okay." But she wasn't looking at her mother when she said this. She was looking straight at Joe. He smiled. It was a different smile than she had seen lately. This one was glad, almost accepting.
"Go tomorrow when he's home. Right now you need to get some rest. Its ben a long day." Her father said.
She was about to argue, but came to the conclusion that her parents had almost lost her several times during this insane journey. This could have been the straw that broke the camel's back. The least she could do was give them the benefit of knowing she was finally safe and sound.
She escorted Joe and Tom to the door. She thanked Tom for about the millionth time and he merely smiled and nodded for about the millionth time. Talk about a man of few words. Tom went to wait in the car and Joe waited just long enough to make sure they were in the clear before giving Demi a longing kiss and a patented Joe Jonas bear hug.
They held each other's gaze.
"Dear Dem, I'm glad you're safe." He whispered softly.
"Dear Joe, it's all thanks to you."
