Double Take *EDITING BARE WITH ME*

Fifty - Three

Demis POV
I've been working none stop, it's been two weeks since Lauren went back to work, I've been in and out of states, trying to do promo. It's been really stressful and I've hardly been able to contact Lauren. I miss her I'm on my way back from New York right now, I sit back and read some fan tweets "@ddlovato feeling rather lonely😔" I tweet "@ddlovato plane back to LA, almost done with promo!! How are you guys liking #Confident?!!!" I post it onto Instagram, it's a picture of me with zero make up on & my eyes looking very tired. I lock my phone and grab my back "Demi we've landed" Max says, I nod and stand up, I put my sunglasses on because there's a lot of paparazzi now, I smile and walk through the airport "Hi Demi. How was your flight" they ask, I ignore all the paps!m, I get into the car after they got my luggage! "It's 4:30, your house or Lauren's?" Max asks "I'll drive over later" I say. He nods and takes me to my apartment, he helps me with my luggage "Thank you max" I say "See you in a few days Demi" He says, I nod. He walks out and I sigh. I walk through to the kitchen and make a something to snack on, till I make dinner later. I grab my phone and keys before driving over to Lauren's, I use the key and walk through, I see her with a kid "Uh sorry am I interrupting something" I ask "No we're just finishing up" She says smiling, I smile "I'll be in the kitchen" I say, I walk through and get some soda. I sit on the island chairs, I keep yawning. I see her come in "Hey baby" She says kissing my cheek, I smile "Hey beautiful" I say "Who's the chick?" I ask taking a sip of my soda "Just a girl I got asked to tutor" She says, I nod "How was New York and Germany, London and NZ?" She asks "Good, I'm really tired though" I say, she nods "I missed you" She says "I missed you too" I say "Okay what's up?" She asks "Nothing" I say "Don't lie to me, we've been together almost a year and a half, what's wrong?" She says "Were you just tutoring her?" I ask, she looks at me "Of course I was just tutoring her, I have a girlfriend" she says "You had a girlfriend when you went with Stevie." I say "What is your problem, Demi?" She says "What can I say, we started out as teacher and student, what if that happens with her?" I say "It won't?" She says "Hm, okay" I say, I walk to the door. "Where are you going?" She asks "Home" I say "Wait... What has gotten into you? You didn't reply to any of my messages yet again" She says "I'm sorry I was to busy promoting my album, I forgot that I wasn't allowed to be to involved in my career" I say "I never said that" She says, I nod "Now you're bringing me cheating on you with another student, what the fuck" She says, I laugh "Just remember Lauren or baby! I started out as just another student now look were we are" I say, I open her door and leave.I drive home and sit on the sofa.. My phone keeps going off

Lauren.
Are you seriously just gonna walk out and leave it at that?

-No, I walked out for a midnight run.

Lauren.
I don't like fighting with you. I'm never going to cheat on you again. You did take the girl who tried to kiss you with you ha!

-I didn't touch her though, nor will I ever. I offered for you to come but you declined because of work which I understand, don't start with the Cammie thing.

Lauren.
Then don't you start with the student thing. I fell in love with you.

-I again started out as your student.

Lauren.
You were different Demi, I felt attracted to you, I don't her. She's just my student!

-Whatever, I'm tired. We'll talk tomorrow.

Lauren.
Goodnight, i love you.

Even when we're fighting she still cares for me...

- I love u too

My eyes drop closed and I'm being woken up the next day by my door, I open my eyes, and go over to the door, I unlock it and open it "Hello?" I say "Hey" Lauren replies "Come in" I say, I go into my room, while she puts the latch on my door, I lay back down in bed. I yawn. "Morning" she says "Morning" I reply, it's 8:30, I'm so tired. "I haven't come over to argue, I missed you and I don't want to spend the first day when you get home fighting" she says "Okay, sure" I say. I lay back down and she gets in next to me, I rest my head on her chest. I fall back into a much needed sleep. A few hours later Lauren wakes me up "It's 11 come on" she says, I step out of bed "I'll be back" I say, I go into my bathroom and shower before stepping out in my clothes, when I come out Lauren isn't there, I go into the kitchen area, and she made breakfast. My eyes are just adjusting to having my contacts in "Thank you" I say, she nods and I eat, after I've eaten she washes up for me "I could've done that" I say "You're all good" She replies. We decide to go out for a walk on the beach because I live close to it, I nod and grab my hat, she puts her sunglasses on and we walk out of the door, we entwine hands as we walk down the sidewalk, we make it to the beach and I take my shoes off, I let my feet soak into the sand before we continue to walk, this is peaceful, but I know as soon as we get to my apartment were gonna have to talk.
