Heartbeat Sequel [A Jemi Story] Chapter 6

(Demi)

"We need to talk." I sat down beside Joe on the couch in our living room. It was late and Rose was fast asleep. He nodded, waiting for me to respond. "I'm done."

He set his bowl of ice cream down and looked at me, confused. "Done?"

"With the whole 'famous' thing. I'm done. Rosey is my number one priority right now and I'm truly sorry. I love singing, it's my passion, my life. But so is Rose. And there's a chance that she won't be...alive next year...and I can't be the type of mother who isn't there. I understand if you want to stay in the band and everything, but I..I just can't." I put a lot of thought into this decision. It was not a spur of the moment thing because it's true...singing is a huge passion of mine. The feeling when I'm on that huge stage with hundreds of thousands of screaming fans surrounding me. It's the greatest high in the entire world, but it's not as significant as the life of my daughter. We agreed to fight, therefore Rose would begin chemo in a few days. She would lose her hair, she is going to vomit often and sleep a lot. It's going to be so hard seeing her like this.

"I completely agree with you. I was thinking the exact same thing..." I smiled slightly. We've built up a pretty large amount of money. Okay...very large. So we'd be okay not working. I adjusted myself so I was sitting on Joseph's lap, my head resting on his shoulder as I fiddled with the buttons on his shirt. "I love you, baby. And Rosey does too, and although she's young I think a part of her knows what is going on and I think she'd want us to spend our remaining time with her happily. We can't think about the future anymore, or the past, only the now. The present. That's all the matters, Dem."

I felt tears stinging my eyes. How was he so strong? So brave? He had to see me close to death, and now he has to see our only daughter dying. "I love you too. And I know...it's just...so hard. I can't even begin to think about life without her. How could God do this to us? She's only 5. We'll never see Rosey glow from a first kiss, a first date, we'll never get to take her pictures before senior prom, never see her wear her graduation gown and cap and walk across the auditorium. Never wipe her tears after making mistakes at college parties, her first heartbreak. Never will we see her fall in love, walk down the aisle in a beautiful white dress. She'll never be able to have children..." Now I was crying hysterically, and Joseph was too. "We are NOT suppose to see her die. We are suppose to go before her. That's the cycle, this is ridiculous. How can this be happening, Joe? We're good people, right? We love our daughter, we'd do anything for her. Is this some kind of sick punishment for not being with her 24/7 for a year? I can't live without her. I won't." I said softly. His shirt was getting soaked from my fallen tears.

"Demi, don't you think I know that? I've been thinking about it everyday since we found out. Every hour. Every minute. Every second is devoted to thinking of Rosey...gone. I refuse to think about it any longer. Right now you have to listen to me. Listen carefully. We will not cry in front of her. We will not talk about it in front of her. We will act like the world is still as beautiful as ever, because she is our daughter, and I don't want her to be afraid. And I don't want our last memories of Rose to be of her hooked up to a dozen machines with tears constantly falling from her little brown eyes. Please, for her...we need to be strong." He brushed the hair from my eyes and pressed his lips against my forehead, kissing me softly and keeping his lips there.

"But what if I can't, Joe?" I asked, swallowing deeply.

"I'll help you." He responded into my forehead, never pulling away. I think if he let me go, release me from his arms, I would fall into a million little pieces.

(Sorry if it's boring, just a filler!)

Happy Thanksgiving!! Wait it is thanksgiving where you live right? If not I loved it!!!

[bmblebee3]

It's 12:11 AM where I am, December 27th. I just got back from a Thanksgiving dinner a couple of hours ago. Where I live it's not celebrated by "natives" because Thanksgiving is an American holiday, but I live in a community with a majority of Americans so yes, it is Thanksgiving. And plus, I'm American so I still celebrate it (: I hope you had a wonderful one, and delicious!
