The Impossible Promise *Chapter 24*

September 16th, 2008
Toluca Lake, California

Tour. It had been wonderful while it lasted. It had been short and sweet and loads of fun. Demi flipped through the Polaroids Joe and Nick had taken from the road back in July. She was filled with nostalgic feelings as she picked up photos of herself and her brand-new band. There were also pictures of her in the studio, recording her first album.
There was her favorite Zebra top, a gift from her best friend from Texas—Nolan. There was a particularly rare photo of Nick beat boxing, and outtakes from the photoshoot for the cover. She closed the photo box lid firmly and a little puff of dust escaped from inside. These were the snapshots of her life, tranquil moments captured in her high-speed life.
Farther back in the box were webcam pictures Dallas had printed out of Demi and Selena from almost a year ago. Demi smiled, remembering those happy days:

Demi had sat at her keyboard, absorbed in the sweet, tinselly notes emanating from the instrument. Selena was sprawled out on the floor beside her. The sunlight cast lackadaisical patterns on the wood floor and reflected off the lime green walls. Demi stroked the keys as she prepared to sing.

You said we wouldnt make it
But look how far we come
For so long my heart was breaking
but now were standing strong
Youre a Trainwreak but I wouldnt love you if you changed!

What do you think?
Selena grinned. This is why youre my best friend. Just kidding! But seriously, I think we need to make a youtube video—
No, we cant!
Why not? Selena asked curiously.
I—Im not ready for people to hear my sound yet. Its—well, so personal!
Selena leaned forward.
Its a boy, am I right?
Demi frowned. Well, what else would it be?
Selena laughed one of her contagious laughs.
Fine. Dont tell your BEST FRIEND who it is. Ill just guess.
Demi glanced around, then leaned forward.
You know him.
Me? Are you sure?
Absolutely.
Hair?
Odd, kinda freaky.
Personality?
Wacky.
Doesnt really sound like your type. Selena twisted a strand of hair around her finger thoughtfully before continuing.
And I thought you were gonna take a break for a bit. You and Cody had a real thing going on! It takes time to get over something like that.
Demi smiled. Im fine. I swear!
Selena only shook her head and clicked her tongue. Demi continued her song.

One thing I thought Id share with someone special
Im falling like Ive never fell before
Its funny you said wed never make it
But look how far wed come
Youre a Trainwreak but with you
Im in love!
As she finished the last notes of the outro, Selena sat down beside her on the keyboard bench.
Does this guy know you love him?
Demi shook her head and looked down.
