Playing Crazy (A Demi Lovato Love Story) EDITING

Chapter 14 - The Show is over (Nick's Pov)

Demi  looked at me, “Nick, when people call you crazy, how does that make you feel?” she asked

What the heck was she up to?

“Angry” I said

“Are you crazy?”

I could lie and say yes I was, or no I’m no longer crazy.

“What is it to you?”

“You’re crazy” she looked at me like she was tempting me or making me mad.

“I’m not” I said

“You’re sick” She said again

“Demi stop” I said

“beg me” She said

I couldn’t believe it was like she was turning into this evil monster.

“Stop it Demi” I said

I punched the pillows and I throw my pillows at her and also a few of the papers on the floor.

She just looked and watch me.

“Show is over” She whispered at me.

She was standing so close to me that I was afraid she could feel me shaking. She had her hand on my arm and she was looking so tense.

“You have to exert a lot more acting if you want to convince me” Demi said. “I know your little secret Nick” She said as she showed me the tile on my bathroom

I looked at her in fear

“I don’t understand” She said

“You will never understand” I shrugged my shoulders

“You’re lying” Demi said

I knew I was, it was just how could I tell her?

“I’ve always liked you Nick, You were so special” Demi said

“You’re more special now” She continued

“what do you want to know?” I said

“the truth” She said

So I told her my story.

“I’m sorry Nick” she said after I finished my story

“for what?”

“you had a pretty messed up life and you were this good boy who keeps on letting Joe what he wants”

“No one can know about me” he said

“is that what you want?” Demi asked

“What?”

“To live like this? To be treated like this?”

“Joe’s my brother”

“So you want the world to look at you strangely just so your brother could live his life?”

“Demi, Joe, Joe would lose everything, my parents would be laughed at”

“If they’re so ashamed of you, they will be”

“They’re not ashamed of me”

“They are” Demi said

“Face it Nick. They are! Everyone is, they locked you up here because you’re a family embarrassment I mean your mom used to be here, but she’s always away now, you’re locked up like some prisoner or virus”

“That was because I get pretty bad when I had my tantrums. I was crazy”

“But you’re not anymore, so why are you hiding?”

I stood in silence.

“Why Nick?” She asked again

“Why are you hiding like this? When you could be you” Demi said

“It’s because I hate them”

I clenched my fist and punched the pillow left on the cushion.

“I hate them” I said again.

“I don’t blame you or anything, but you gotta let it out Nick” Demi said

“Talk to me” she said

“I hate them because they look at me like I’m a toy from the store that got broken down, they look at me like property like an ex-convict they look at me in all different ways except as a son or as a brother”

Demi waited for me to continue

“I told myself that I would recover and that one day I will leave this place and I will win”

“That was a nice plan” Demi smiled

“Demi I am begging you, you cannot tell anyone about me”

“I won’t” Demi said

“How long have you been better?” Demi asked

“A few years” I said.

“Well you’ve been around this family for a long time, maybe you can help me” Demi said

“With what?” I asked

“It’s about this” Demi said as he took out the photograph of us. The one she was so bothered with.

“I’m sorry Demi, I just don’t remember that at all”

“Well someone around here is bound to remember, I’ll ask mom, since it’s my photograph” I said.

“Can you? That would be so helpful” Demi said

“Why do you want to learn so much about this photograph?”

“I don’t know, I just feel like it’s a part of me that’s haunting me” Demi said.

“Demi” I called out to her as she turned to go

“hmmm?” Demi asked

“Thank you” I said, then I kissed her.
