Demi: [hits his arm]
Joe: Ow! [rubs his arm]
Demi: It's all your fault for making me and my moans happen. [sticks her tongue out]
Joe: [grabs her waist and pulls her closely, kisses her tongue]

Joe: What? [smiles] It's good. [winks]
Demi: [chuckles, shaking her head]

Joe: I don't want to get married!
Paul: Someday, you will, Joe.
Joe: I know, but, I don't want it now!
Denise: I'm sorry, Joseph.
Joe: Why?!
Paul: We've already planned your future. It's going to be good.

Demi: Joe...
Joe: No, Demi. I won't get married.
Denise: You'll get to know her. Don't worry.
Joe: How can I not worry?! My future is already planned and I didn't even know about it, and I'm not agreeing to this! [goes upstairs]
They hear a loud slam, probably coming from Joe.
Paul: [sighs]
Demi: Uhmm...
Denise: Can you please convince him, Demi? This is a very good chance for him to get what university he wants.
Demi: I don't know... I mean... It's his decision.

Demi: [fake smiles] I'll go up now.
Paul: Please do.
Demi: Excuse me. [goes upstairs, then to Joe's room. She tries opening it, but it's locked] Joe?
There's no answer.
Demi: [knocks on the door] Joe... It's me.

Demi: Joe... Sometimes... Life is unfair. You don't get what you want.
Joe: But I want something else!
Demi: [rubs his back] Like what?
Joe: I was planning on marrying you--
Demi: [pulls away from him] What?
Joe: [nods] I was going to plan on marrying you, then we'd live somewhere else. Far from here. Far from LA.
Demi: You.... Y-You had p-plans?
Joe: I did. I swear.
Demi: Oh Joe... [lets tears out]
Joe: [wipes his tears, then wipes hers] Don't cry.
Demi: Nobody ever said something like that to me before.
Joe: [slightly smiles]
Demi: But... You have to do what your parents want you to do.
Joe: I don't want to.
Demi: But you have to.
Joe: [shakes his head, he picks her up, then places her on the bed, then lays down beside her] The only person that I'll be marrying will be Demi Lovato.

Joe: I'm waiting.
Demi: You're sexy.
Joe: What did I tell you? All girls dig me.
Demi: Yeah, cause you're so hot. [rolls her eyes]
Joe: Finally you admit that I'm hot too. Scoree!
Demi: Why are you such a manwhore? [smiles]
Joe: I thought you said I was sweet.
Demi: That's only 25% of your whole personality.
Joe: How about the manwhore?
Demi: Hmm... 50%.
Joe: What about the other 25?
Demi: Sexy. [smiles]
Joe: [smirks] I know you love me.
Demi: Of course I do.
Joe: As your partner or... [smirks] ...what?

Joe: Aww, cmon. I'll always be sweet to you.
Demi: Prove it.
Joe: [hugs her and kisses her forehead]
Demi: That doesn't mean you're sweet.
Joe: You gotta admit, it's part of it.
Demi: [nods] Okay. Fine. [cuddles to him more]

Joe: [chuckles] Cmon. Let's go.
When they get there.
They're both in the living room watching a movie. Demi has a bowl of popcorn on her lap while Joe was holding a coke. The living room was dark, since Demi turned off the lights, making it into more if a theatre theme.

Joe: [sucks on her neck]
Demi: [moans, breathing hard]
Joe: [takes off her top along with the bra, leaving her topless]

Demi: Because... It was your parent's choice.
Joe: [sighs] If only they knew what's going on between us.
Demi: Joe... You're wrong.
Joe: Huh?

Demi: [shrugs]
Joe: [thinks for a moment]
Demi: [snuggles more onto the pillow]

Joe: But... You... Nice...--
Ashley: [laughs] Did you really think that I'd be a nice girl? Innocent? Yeah. In front of our family's eyes. I am not even close to 'innocent'. [smirks]
Joe: [disgusted] Get out of my house.
Ashley: [stands up and walks to him] Why...?
Joe: [backing up] I said go!
Ashley: But... You're my fiance.

Joe: Mum! Get here as soon as possible!
Denise: What's wrong, hunny?
Joe: What's wrong? What's wrong?! Do you know what you and dad has gotten myself into?!
Denise: Joseph!
Joe: Ashley is not what you think she is.
Denise: Whatever are you talking about?
Joe: She's fake.
Denise: How can you say that, Joseph?!
Joe: Believe me!
Denise: I just hate it when you're lying, Joe.
Joe: Oh god. I'm not lying! Why don't you believe me?!
Denise: Because you never say the truth. [hangs up]
Joe: [groans, being angry. He calls Demi]
No reply.
Joe: [calls Demi again] Cmon, Demi. Pick up...
After about 5 seconds.
Demi: [answers] Hello?
Joe: Demi! Thank god!
Demi: What's wrong, Joe?
Joe: What took you so long?!
Demi: I just had a shower. Geez.
Joe: You had to take that long?!
Demi: Why are you shouting at me?!
Joe: I don't know!
Demi: Calm down, Joe...
Joe: [breathes in, breathes out]
Demi: There you go.
Joe: Sorry.
Demi: What's the matter?
Joe: I have a problem.
Demi: I'm coming. Just, don't do that to me again.
Joe: I'm sorry. I just... My anger...
Demi: I understand. But, don't take it on me, okay?
Joe: Okay. I'm sorry, Demi.
Demi: It's alright. I'll go now.

Demi: [sits on the couch] So?
Joe: Her.

Joe: Ashley.
Demi: Oh, yeah. How is she?
Joe: She's fucking fake.
Demi: What?
Joe: She acts all innocent in front of both our family.
Demi: Isn't she?
Joe: No.
Demi: Really?
Joe: Great. You don't believe me too.
Demi: [shakes her head] I believe you.
Joe: I tried telling my mum but she won't believe me.
Demi: Oohh.. That's because you usually lie to her.
Joe: Yeah, but not all the time!
Demi: [raises her eyebrow]
Joe: Sometimes?
Demi: [crosses her arms]
Joe: Most of the time.
Demi: Better.
Joe: Help me, Demiiiiiii.
Demi: How can she believe me?
Joe: She trusts you.
Demi: Doesn't mean she will on this one.
Joe: [groans] At least give it a try.
Demi: [nods] I will.
Joe: [hugs her] Your body's warm.
Demi: Joe... Let go.
Joe: [pulls away] Why?
Demi: I'm not feeling well.
Joe: What happened?
Demi: I don't know... My stomache hurts.
Joe: Let's get you to the hospital.
Demi: No.
Joe: Demi!
Demi: No, Joe. I won't go. Besides, it probably would go away later.
Joe: Demi... It's in pain right now.
Demi: Who cares.
Joe: I do.
Demi: No, Joe... [places her hand on her stomache, closing her eyes tightly]
Joe: Demi?
Demi: [opens her eyes again] Nothing's wrong...
Joe: Please. Let me take you to the hospital.
Demi: Joe... You know I hate them. [slowly closes her eyes again]
Joe: I know... But it's for your own safety.
Demi: [shakes her head, she holds her stomach, then falls down to the couch, fainting]
Joe: Demi! [shakes her body]
Demi: [no reaction]
Joe: [picks her up and brings her upstairs, laying her down on his bed] Wake up, Demi... [tears falling]

Demi: [shakes her head, holding on to her stomach lightly]
Denise: You fainted, dear.
Demi: What?
Denise: You really don't remember anything.
Demi: [holds her stomach tightly, wincing in pain]
Denise: What's wrong, hunny?
Demi: [shakes her head] I don't know.
Denise: We'll go to the hospital.
Demi: No, please. I hate them.
Denise: I know you do, sweetheart. But, this is not good.
Demi: I'll be fine later.
Denise: I'll be back with some food, alright?
Demi: [nods] Thank you.
Denise: It's not a problem. [kisses her forehead and leaves Joe's room]
Demi: [closes her eyes tightly]
Joe: [walks in] Demi?
Demi: [opens her eyes] Joe? [sits up]
Joe: [runs over to her] Oh god. You're awake! [hugs her]
Demi: Joe... Don't hug me so tightly...
Joe: [pulls away] Oh, sorry.
Demi: It's okay.
Joe: What's wrong with you, Demi?
Demi: I'm not sure. But, it hurts a lot.
Joe: We're going to the doctor wether you like it or not.
Demi: Do I have to?
Joe: Yes.
Later on.
Doctor: How long has this happened?
Demi: [sitting on a chair] About... This morning.
Joe: [looks at Demi, worried]
Doctor: Did you eat anything today?
Demi: Well... Uhmm... I ate some toast.
Doctor: Drink?
Demi: I can't seem to remember...
Doctor: Did you drink any milk?
Demi: Oh.. Yeah. I did.
Doctor: I should've known. The milk that you drank was expired.
Joe: You drank expired milk?!
Demi: [looks down] I'm sorry. I didn't know.
Joe: [sighs]
Doctor: Please be more careful, Ms Lovato.
Demi: [nods] I will. Thanks, doctor.
Doctor: It's a pleasure. [walks away]
Joe: Demi...
Demi: I'm sorry!
Joe: I'm not mad at you... It's just... Be more careful.
Demi: I wasn't concentrating...
Joe: What were you thinking?
Demi: Stuff.
Joe: Tell me.
Demi: It's not important.
Joe: [sighs] I thought we tell each other everything.
Demi: We do... But... Not now, please.
Joe: I'm going to find out, you know.
Demi: [nods]
Joe: Let's go to my house. [holds her hand and they both leave the hospital]
chapter 14
Later on.
Denise: So, what did the doctor say?
Joe: She drank expired milk.
Denise: What?
Demi: I'm sorry. I just.... I wasn't really paying attention.
Denise: It's a good thing that I made soup. I'll heat it up.
Demi: [nods]
Joe and Demi go to the living room.
Joe: [sits on the couch] Does it still hurt?
Demi: [sitting beside him] What?
Joe: Your stomach.
Demi: Yeah...
Joe: So... Have you thought about the thing I told you?
Demi: What?
Joe: [whispers] Run away.
Demi: Joe...
Joe: Why won't you?
Demi: Because it's not the best decision.
Denise: [walks in holding a tray]
Demi: [stands up] Here, let me help.
Denise: [smiles] It's okay, Demi. [places the tray on the coffee table]
Demi: Thank you so much, Mrs Jonas.
Denise: You're welcome. [smiles again] Eat it all.
Demi: But--
Denise: No excuses.
Joe: [chuckles]
Demi: [nods] Okay. Thanks, again.

Demi: [looks at Joe] What?
Joe: Let me taste it too.
Demi: [giggles] Seriously Joe?
Joe: [nods, smiling]
Demi: Okaaaay. [fills the spoon with the soup and feeds him]
Joe: [nods] It is good.
Demi: I know. Your mum makes the best soup.
Joe: [chuckles, he leans in]
Demi: [stops him] Not here.
Joe: Aww, cmonnn.
Demi: Nope.
Joe: [groans]
Demi: [looks back at her bowl]
Joe: [makes her face him and quickly pecks her lips]

Demi: [smiles] Hey, Frank.
Frankie: Why did you go to the hospital?! [being worried]
Joe: [chuckles]
Frankie: It's not funny, Joe!
Demi: Relax, Frankie. My stomach hurt.
Frankie: [hugs Demi]
Demi: [hugs back] I'm fine now, Frankie.
Frankie: [pulls away and looks at Demi] Are you sure?
Demi: [nods]
Joe: Why are you so worried, Frank?
Frankie: I don't want my girlfriend to be sick!
Demi: [laughs]
Joe: Your girlfriend?
Frankie: Yes! [to Demi] I love you, Demi. [kisses her cheek]

Joe: What?
Demi: Is there?
Joe: No?
Demi: Then why are you staring at me?
Joe: Oh... [blushes] Nothinggg.
Demi: Mhmm. Sure.
Joe: Demi... You have to tell my mum.
Demi: Why? She'll believe you.
Joe: She will never. She believes you.
Demi: What makes you think that she'll believe me?
Joe: She is believing you all this time, so, why not now?
Demi: I'll try to tell her.
Joe: [smiles] And then I don't have to get married.
Demi: Yes you do.
Joe: [frowns, but then smiles again] With you, right?
Demi: [smiles] No. With somebody that you'll truly love.
Joe: But I haven't found that person.
Demi: Joe... Love comes to people at different times. Maybe, your true love can come now, tomorrow or even next week. It can be any time. You just have to wait.
Joe: [nods]
Demi: [done eating] Ohh. I'm full.
Joe: But that was only soup.
Demi: It still made me full. I'm going to the kitchen. [stands up and walks away with the tray and the empty bowl on it]
Joe: I think I've found my true love...
chapter 16
With Demi.
Demi: [washing the dishes]
Joe: [walks in] Demi! You're not supposed to do that!

Joe: [hugs her from behind]
Demi: Joe... Your parents are gonna see.
Joe: They're upstairs. [begins kissing her neck]
Demi: [breathing heavily] Joe...
Joe: You're right.
Demi: [drying her hands]
Joe: [picks Demi up bridal style, then walks to the staircase]
Demi: [groans] Now?
Joe: [starts going up] I just want to do something.
Demi: And that is...?
Joe: [reaches the top and goes to his room] Just making out and... Stuff. [lays Demi on the bed, then lays beside her]
Demi: [looking at the ceiling]
Joe: That bitch.
Demi: Excuse me?
Joe: I meant Ashley. [shivers at her name]
Demi: [chuckles] Your future wife.
Joe: Don't ever say that again. Ever.
Demi: Future wifeeeeeeeeee.
Joe: That's it. [pins her down to the bed and kisses her]
Demi: [pulls away] Ow!
Joe: What's wrong? [gets off her]
Demi: My stomach! [winces in pain]
Joe: Let's go to the hospital.
Demi: Again? Never.
Joe: Demi! You're in pain right now.
Demi: Joe... I don't think that all this pain is coming from the milk I drank this morning.
Joe: [leaves the room. After a few minutes, comes back with some oil then locks the door and goes back to the bed] Lay down.
Demi: Huh? What for?
Joe: Take off your shirt.
Demi: Joe... I don't want to have sex now.
Joe: Just take it off.
Demi: [nods, she takes off her top, leaving her in her bra, then lays down on the bed]
Joe: [sits beside her, then pours some oil onto his hand and starts massaging her back]
Demi: Ohh... It feels so niceee...
Joe: [smiles]
Demi: Why are you doing this?
Joe: Well... Are you feeling better?
Demi: [nods, her face to a side, on the surface of the bed]
Joe: That's good.
Demi: But Joe... I don't think there's a connection with my back and my stomach.
Joe: Really?!
Demi: Uhmm... I don't know.
Joe: [stops massaging] Then what's the point of me doing this?
Demi: [turns her face to the other side, looking at Joe] Seriously?
Joe: [smiles] I was just kidding. [massages again]
Demi: Where'd you learn this thing anyway?
Joe: I don't know... [leans down and pecks her lips]
Demi: [smiles, closing her eyes] I'm falling asleeeeeeeep.
Joe: Then sleep.
Demi: [nods slowly, beginning to sleep]
Joe: [mumbles] I'm falling in love.
Demi: [opens her eyes] What?
Joe: [shakes his head] Nothing. Now, go sleep.
Demi: Are you going to keep massaging me?
Joe: If you want me to. [smiles]
Demi: [smiles, feeling sleepy] Thanks Joe. [closes her eyes, falling asleep]
Joe: [strokes her hair, smiling]

Joe: [eyes closed, sleepy, he places his hand on top of hers] Demi? [opens his eyes]
Demi: I'm sorry if I woke you up!
Joe: [shakes his head] No, no, it's fine. [yawns]
Demi: Go back to sleep.
Joe: [closes his eyes again] No...
Demi: [looks around] Where's my top?
Joe: [points all over the room, being lazy] Somewhere there.
Demi: Gee, thanks Joe. [rolls her eyes and scans the room]
Joe: Your welcome.
Demi: [finally found it, she stands up and picks it up, wearing it]

Joe: [nods] Mhmm.
Demi: Joe... Let me talk to your mum.
Joe: [whines] Not noww. [hugs her tighter]
Demi: Do you want to get married or not?

Demi: Yes, Joe.
Joe: [grabs her hand]
Demi: [tries to pull him up] Gosh! You're so heavy! How much do you weigh?
Joe: [shrugs, he stands up]
Downstairs.
Demi: Mrs Jonas, Joe is telling the truth.
Denise: Are you sure...?
Demi: Yes.
Joe: See?
Denise: Do you have any evidence?
Demi: Uhmm..
Joe: I know what happened, mum! Why won't you believe me?!
Denise: I'm trying, Joe. But, she looks so innocent. Ashley can't be like that.
Joe: Well, she is.
Denise: I'll have a talk with her parents if that makes you happy?
Joe: No! I want you to cancel the wedding!
Denise: I need evidence, Joe!
Joe: This isn't like a crime or something. I'm here. I witnessed it. That's all that matters.
Denise: I'll see. I'll have a talk with her parents first. [walks away]
Joe: [groans, he burries his head on his hands]
Demi: [pats his back] We tried, Joe.
Joe: [looks at Demi] You have to run away with me, Demi.
Demi: [shakes her head] I can't.
Joe: You have to. Please.
Demi: What about my parents?
Joe: I'll talk to them. Don't worry.
Demi: What about yours?
Joe: I don't care about them. Please just run away with me. Just for a while.
Demi: Is it really going to help you?
Joe: Yes. Very much.
Demi: I'll think about it...
Joe: Yes! [hugs her]
Demi: Doesn't mean I will go.
Joe: You will. Are your parents home?
Demi: I told you. Trip?
Joe: When will they get back?
Demi: I don't know... Some time in this day.
Joe: Okay. [shouts] Mum! I'm going to Demi's!
Denise: [shouts back] Be careful!
Demi: Why are we going to my house?
Joe: We'll wait for your parents, so I can tell them.
They both go to Joe's car.
Demi: [on the passenger seat] I don't think they'll let, Joe.
Joe: I think they will.
Demi: How would you know?
Joe: I just have a feeling.
Demi: [goes silent]
Joe: [looks at Demi] It's going to be okay. [hugs her]
Demi: [holds on to him] I don't think it will be.
Joe: Don't worry. I'll always be by your side, in every step of the way.
Demi: [nods] Thanks, Joe.
Joe: I'm still your best friend. I'll support you throughout the whole way.

Joe: [chuckles] Yes, Demi.
Demi: I completely forgot.
Joe: Wow... You're getting older every minute. [smirks]
Demi: [hits him]
Joe: Ow!
Demi: Exactly.
Joe: But I don't mind you getting older every minute.
Demi: [rolls hey eyes] And why is that? You get older every minute too!
Joe: Yeah... But... There's another reason why I don't mind.
Demi: Well?
Joe: It's because you're getting more beautiful every minute too. [winks]
Demi: [blushes]

Joe: To this girl named Ashley.
Dianna: [smiles] Must be a nice girl.
Joe: [nervous laugh] Yeahh...
Demi: She's not, mum.
Joe: [looks at Demi]
Eddie: What do you mean?
Demi: She's acting all innocent and stuff. But, she really isn't.
Dianna: How would you know?
Demi: Joe told me.
Eddie: [raises his eyebrow]
Demi: I trust Joe. [hugs Joe's left arm]
Joe: [smiles]
Dianna: I trust you, Demi... And, Joe.
Eddie: I guess me too.
Demi: [smiles]
Joe: So... You see... I don't want to get married to that girl.
Eddie: Mhmm.
Joe: So... I want to run away.
Dianna: What?
Joe: I want to leave the city.
Dianna: Joe, that's not a good option.
Eddie: You can always talk to your mother.
Joe: That's the problem. She won't listen to me.
Dianna: What's wrong with your mother?
Joe: I don't know either. She just won't listen. She doesn't trust me.
Eddie: [shakes his head]
Demi: So... I will run away with him.
Dianna: You can't, Demi.
Demi: Mum!
Dianna: You can't. It's illegal.
Eddie: [to Dianna] You know hunny, it's not called 'running away' if we already kn--
Dianna: Shush!
Demi: Exactly, mum! Let's just... Pretend that I'm on a...
Joe: ...Vacation?
Demi: Yeah! Vacation... Mhmm.
Dianna: And... To where exactly?
Joe: Well...I was planning on going to Canada.
Dianna: That's too far.
Joe: That's the best place that I know my family won't find us.
Eddie: Why?
Joe: They hate Canada.
Eddie: [chuckles]
Demi: Pleaaaase, muuuuum.
Dianna: How long?
Demi: [looks at Joe]

Dianna: But it's your birthday. We can't say no to that.
Demi: I don't care what day it is.
Dianna: Cmon, sweetie. You'll be going to Canada soon. I want to spend more time with my daughter, who is 18 today!

Demi: I have to go downstairs.
Joe: Yeah. I'll go out, then after five minutes, I'll ring the doorbell.

Demi: [rolls her eyes] Go on then.
Joe: Give me a kiss first. [smirks]

Demi: Yeah. Where are we?
Joe: Ugh. Fine. [takes off her blindfold]
Demi: [looks around] Oh god... It's beautiful. [smiles] You're wonderful, Joe.
Joe: You don't like it.
Demi: What? I do. I swear. It's so romantic.
It was a picnic on the beach, with candles around it. There was an iPod playing on the blanket of the picnic.
Demi: [smiles] Really? Your iPod?
Joe: [frowns] It was the best I could find for music.
Demi: Aww. It's beauti--FUCK. [holds her stomach]
Joe: What's wrong?!

A voice from inside says to come in.
Joe: [opens the door, goes in and closes it]
Demi: [laying down on the hospital bed]
Joe: Demi?
Demi: [doesn't bother turning her head]
Joe: [walks to her] Why didn't you tell me?
Demi: [ignores him]
Joe: Demi!
Demi: [turns to him with red eyes]
Joe: Are you crying?
Demi: [she sits up, then looks away]
Joe: Answer me!
Demi: [looks at him] I knew you would be like this!
Joe: Be like what?!
Demi: You're going to be mad at me!
Joe: Why would I be mad at you?
Demi: I didn't tell you. [breaks down crying]
Joe: You should've told me.
Demi: [looks up] If I told you, you would leave me! You'd be like those guys in movies. You'd have sex with me then leave me after knowing that I'm pregnant! [cries more, hugging her knees]
Joe: [hugs her] I would never leave you.
Demi: You liar!
Joe: I swear! I promise!
Demi: [shakes her head]
Joe: [picks her up, he sits down on the bed and he places her on his lap]
Demi: [hugging him tightly]
Joe: Demi, I love you. I would never EVER leave you. You got that?
Demi: [nods slowly, sobbing]

Joe: It's mine, right?
Demi: [nods]
Joe: I have a baby. [smiles]
Demi: [hits him] I'm pregnant, you bitch. And, you're happy.
Joe: But look at the bright side... We can make a family... A great one, actually.
Demi: [looks down, nodding slowly]
Joe: Yeah? [smiles]
Demi: [looks up at him again] Kind of...
Joe: See? It's not so bad. You'll be living with me in Canada.
Demi: You must not tell my parents.
Joe: But--
Demi: Please, Joe. They won't let me go with you.
Joe: [thinks about it, then nods] That's for sure.
Demi: [hugs him]
Joe: [responds to the hug, then whispers in her ear] I'm going to be a father soon. [smiling]
chapter 25
Demi: [pulls away] Why are you so happy? [looks at him weirdly]
Joe: [shrugs, still smiling] I don't know.
Demi: Whatever. [gets off of his lap]
Joe: Don't walk, young lady!
Demi: Excuse me?
Joe: The baby!
Demi: [rolls her eyes] The baby won't get affected if I walk, Joe.
Joe: Oh... Really?
Demi: YES!
Joe: Ok ok. Geez.
Demi: When are we leaving anyway?
Joe: Uhmm... I was thinking of the hour before the wedding?
Demi: What?
Joe: Yeah. Can we do that?
Demi: [sighs] I'm starting to think that this was not a good idea.
Joe: Don't you dare change your mind.
Demi: I don't know...
Joe: Please, Demi. I just can't marry that bitch. Besides, you're pregnant.
At the wedding.
Denise: [calls Joe]
Joe: [picks it up] Hello?
Denise: Where are you?!
Joe: Bye. [hangs up]
Demi: What did she say?
Joe: She asked me where I am. Demi, we have to hurry.
Demi: Okay! [hugs her mum and dad] I love you guys.
Dianna: [crying] I love you too, sweetie.
Demi: Dad, tell mum not to do that.
Eddie: [smiles] I'll try.
Joe leads Demi to the car that Demi got for her birthday. They get in, then start driving.
Joe: Demi... We're going to have to dye our hairs.
Demi: [whines] Whyyy? I like black.
Joe: We'll get caught.
Demi: Finee.
Joe: And, we're engaged.
Demi: [looks at him]
Joe: Check my bag.
Demi: [searches for it, then unzips the bag and digs her hand in to find two boxes]
Joe: We don't want the new neighbourhood in Canada to be suspicious.
Demi: Why can't we just be married?
Joe: [shakes his head]
Demi: [rolls her eyes] Nice reason.
Later on, they stop at a diner.
Jemi goes to a table.
Joe: [helps Demi sit down]
Demi: [smiles at him] Joe... You're acting like I'm going to give birth anytime soon.
Joe: I'm just helping... That's all.
Demi: You're being protective.
Joe: Isn't that good?
Demi: [smiles] It is. Just, act like I'm not pregnant. We don't want people to know that I'm pregnant before marriage.
Joe: [nods, he sits next to her. He slides his hand over her shoulder, pulling her closer in]
Demi: [leans on his shoulder]
Waiter: [comes and smiles] Hello. Welcome to Lais' Diner. [gives them the menu]
Joe: We'll call you back when we want to order.

Demi: [half asleep]
Joe: Demi?
Demi: [opens her eyes] Huh?

Demi: [smiles] I'll eat it.
Joe: [smiles] Okay.
Demi: [moves her hand]
Joe: On second thought... I'll just feed you.
Demi: [raises her eyebrow] Joe... I'm only one week.
Joe: So? [gets one fry and feeds her]
Demi: [chewing it]
Joe: [swoops some strands of her hair behind her ear]
Demi: [smiles] You're so sweet.
Joe: [looks away, blushing]
Demi: Let me eat in peace. [starts shoving fries in her mouth]
Joe: Oi. Be a lady.
Demi: [rolls her eyes]
Joe: We've got to leave as soon as possible. I want to get there fast.
Demi: Where are we in?
Joe: We're still in LA.
Demi: Still?!
Joe: [nods] That's why.
Demi: We've got to go now! [stands up]
Joe: You haven't eaten.
Demi: Don't worry. We'll get McDonalds in the way.
Joe: [nods]
Later on.
Demi: [eating her fries in the car]
Joe: [looks over at her for a second, then concentrates on driving, smiling] Like it?
Demi: Duuh.
Joe: [chuckles]
Demi: [takes a bite of her burger]
Joe: Give me some.
Demi: I thought you've already eaten.
Joe: I was just kidding. [smiles]
Demi: But I'll give you some of my coke.
Joe: Okay.
Demi: [leans over to him and puts the straw in his mouth]
Joe: [slurps some of the drink] That's enough.
Demi: [shrugs, she sits back on her seat]
Joe: Aren't you going to give me a kiss?
Demi: Joe... We act only engaged when we GET to Canada.
Joe: [frowns] Give me a kissssss.
Demi: [groans] I'm hungry!
Joe: Demi. Give me. I need something to freshen my memory.
Demi: And a kiss would do that?
Joe: [smiles and nods. He stops at a traffic light]
Demi: [scoots more to Joe]
Joe: [turns his head to Demi]
Demi: [kisses him]
Joe: [swings his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer]
Demi: [pulls away, she leans on his shoulder]
Joe: [kisses her head]
chapter 27
After a lot of days of driving, they finally get to Canada.

Joe: You wanted to sleep. [smirks again]
Demi: Not today.
Joe: [groans] Whyyyyyyy?
Demi: We just got to Canada!
Joe: So?
Demi: You're tired. I'll give you a back massage or something later. I've been sleeping all the time.
Joe: Back massage. [smirks]
Demi: [rolls her eyes] Boys these days.
Joe: Girls these days. Using codes like "back massage" and "sleep" just to hint on having sex.
Demi: You are not getting ANYTHING later.
Joe: So... Do I get tomorrow? [bites his lip]
Demi: [smiles] Maaaaaaaaybe.
Joe: Aha!
Demi: Or not.

Joe: Joey too strong for you?
Demi: Nobody's too strong for me. [pushes his hand away and goes on his back]

Joe: [walks in] What?! What?!
Demi: MY HAIR!
Joe: Ohh..
Demi: IT'S FUCKING BLACK!
Joe: So?
Demi: YOU BITCH!
Joe: [smiles innocently]
Demi: WHY ISN'T YOUR HAIR DYED?
Joe: Because, I didn't have enough hair dye.
Demi: How the fuck did you manage to dye my hair?!
Joe: You were sleeping.
Demi: I could've felt it!
Joe: You did... But then, you fell asleep again. You're a heavy sleeper.
Demi: [touches her hair, groaning] IT'S FUCKING BLACK!
Joe: Don't worry. You look much prettier.
Demi: Are you saying I was ugly before?!
Joe: Not at all. Geez. Are you PMSing?
Demi: I can't have my period when I'm pregnant, Joe. [rolls her eyes]
Joe: [hugs her from behind and starts kissing her neck]
Demi: Stop it! [tries to push him away]
Joe: [hugs her tighter] I'm sorry, okay?! I'll dye my hair later, if it makes you feel any better.
Demi: Maaaaaaybe a bit, if I dye yours.

chapter 29
Demi: [pushes him off her]
Joe: What?
Demi: Please, Joe. Not tonight.
Joe: Why?
Demi: Because, I'm tired!
Joe: You? Tired?!
Demi: Yes!
Joe: I FUCKING DROVE FROM LA TO HERE, DEMI!
Demi: I wanted to drive, didn't I?!
Joe: But I wanted to be a gentlemen!
Demi: [rolls her eyes] Not my fault!
Joe: Stop it! I don't want any fights! We just got here!
Demi: THEN STOP FUCKING YELLING AT ME! [leaves the room]
Joe: [groans, he burries his head in his hands]
That night.
Demi: [goes to the front door]
Joe: Where are YOU going?
Demi: Why do YOU care? [opens the door]
Joe: I'm responsible of you!
Demi: So?
Joe: Where are you going?!
Demi: I'm only going out to buy dinner. Geez.
Joe: [grabs her arm] I'll go. You stay.
Demi: [pushes his hand away] I go. You stay.
Joe: Wh--
Demi: My car. [leaves the house]
Joe: Demi!
Demi: [ignores him, she gets in her car and goes away]
Later on, after half an hour.
Joe: [sitting impatiently on the sofa, looking at the clock. It was 8:30, and Demi didn't come home yet]
Demi: [opens the door and walks in, carrying a plastic bag filled with take-away food boxes]
Joe: [stands up] Where have you been?!
Demi: [rolls her eyes] Can you for once not shout at me? I need help here. [walking to the kitchen with difficulties]
Joe: [walks to her and grabs the plastic bag, then sets it on the table when he gets to the kitchen] What did you buy?
Demi: Steak.
Joe: What took you so long anyway?
Demi: What is this? 20 questions?
Joe: Answer me.
Demi: There were so many teens buying food in the diner just around the corner.
Joe: [raises his eyebrow]
Demi: Joe, we live near the beach!
Joe: So?
Demi: Lots of people go to the beach?
Joe: Your point is?
Demi: People buy food there because it's near the beach!
Joe: Ohhhhh. Okay.
Demi: Sometimes, your just so stupid. [grabs her plastic take-away box and walks to the living room, sitting on a couch]
Joe: [follows her] Are you angry?
Demi: [looks at him] Are you seriously asking that?
Joe: No, duuh.
Demi: Of course I'm angry. I'm angry at you!
Joe: Why?
Demi: You clearly wanted sex today, when I said I'm tired.
Joe: I'm way more tired than you are, but I'm not tired for sex.
Demi: You're just a sex addict, that's all. This means, you won't get anything from me anymore.
Joe: What?!
Demi: You heard me.
Joe: But but... You can't do that!
Demi: [glares at him] Watch me. One week without sex. We'll see what happens.
Joe: [gulps]
chapter 30
Demi: [starts chewing on her steak]
Joe: You're not serious... Right?
Demi: I am serious, Joe! Why can't you just let it happen?
Joe: Because!
Demi: See? You are a sex addict.
Joe: We'll prove it.
The next day.
Demi: [in the bathroom]
Joe: [knocks on the door] Demi!
Demi: [from inside] What?!
Joe: Open the door! I need the bathroom!
Demi: This is not the only bathroom in the house, Joe!
Joe: I like this one! [bangs on the door]
Demi: [rolls her eyes, she unlocks the door and gets out of the bathroom]
Joe: [scans Demi's body] Where are you going?
Demi: To a club.
Joe: Really?!
Demi: No, of course not. [rolls her eyes] Why would I wear a bikini to a club?
Joe: [shrugs]
Demi: Whatever. [looks through her bags for a tank top and some shorts]
Joe: Can I come?
Demi: Who's holding you back? [wears a red tank top and black shorts over her white bikini]
Joe: [licks his lips as he see her long flawless legs]
Demi: Well? Go get changed. I'll wait for you.
Joe: [smiles] You're going to wait for me?
Demi: On second thought, nevermind. I'll just go and find a hottie to make out with.
Joe: What?
Demi: Why?
Joe: I'm a hottie that you can make out with.
Demi: Suuuuuuure. [walks out of the room]
Joe: [follows her] I'm coming with you.
Demi: I thought you needed the bathroom. [rolls her eyes]
Joe: Well... Now I don't.
Demi: Whatever.
At the beach.
Demi: [laying down on a blanket, her front being on the blanket, having a tan]
Joe: [just looking at her body]
Guy: [walks to them] Hey.
Demi: [looks up and smiles] Hi.
Guy: Would you like to play volleyball?
Demi: [sits up] Sure.
Joe: She can't.
Demi: Don't mind him. [stands up]
Joe: She's my fiance.
Guy: Oh...
Demi: [remembers her identity] Uhh...
Joe: [pulls Demi down to him and hugs her, then looks at the guy] I want to have some time with the love of my life. [kisses Demi]
Demi: [kisses back, acting]
Guy: I'll... I'll leave now... [walks away]
Demi: [pushes Joe] Oi!
Joe: [smirks] Fiance.
Demi: Fuck off.
Lady beside them: Excuse me miss, but, that's not how you should talk to your future husband.
Joe: [smirks again] Yeah, Mitchie.
Demi: He was just being an asshole... [looks at the lady] But... I love him. [fake smiles and cups Joe's cheeks and kisses him]
Joe: [smiles, pulling her closer]
chapter 31
Lady: [smiles]
When they get back.
Demi: [goes to the kitchen]
Joe: [turns on his phone]
Demi: Turn that thing off.
Joe: Why?
Demi: We ran away, stupid. We don't want anyone calling us.
Joe: Ugh. Finee. [his phone rings]
Demi: [wide eyes]
Joe: [looks at the caller ID] It's... My dad. [wide eyes too]
Demi: Turn that phone off now!
Joe: Huh?
Demi: [takes it away from him and breaks the phone]
Joe: Why the fuck did you do that?!
Demi: You'll get a new phone. Geez. [rolls her eyes]
Joe: That was an expensive phone, Demi!
Demi: Sure it was.
Joe: How can you just let this thing go away?!
Demi: [looks at him] Same goes for that other night.
Joe: [groans] Forget about that already!
Demi: No. I'm going again.
Joe: Where?
Demi: Buy ingredients for cooking? Duuh.
Joe: This time, I'm going with you.
Demi: No. My car.
Joe: My house. [smirks]
Demi: Some of my money.
Joe: Most of my money.
Demi: [groans]
At the market.
Demi: [looking for some milk in the cold drinks area]
Joe: [walks to her with a lot of junk foods]
Demi: Oh my god.
Joe: [puts it all in the trolley] What?
Demi: I am not buying [picks some chocolates up] these.
Joe: Why not?
Demi: Joe! We are here to shop for things that are needed for everyday life.
Joe: I need chocolate to survive.
Demi: [rolls her eyes] Put it all back.
Joe: No.
Demi: Are you seriously going to be like that?
Joe: Yeah.
Demi: Fine. I'm leaving. Let's not eat and starve to death. [starts walking away]
Joe: [runs up to her and grabs her arm] You're not fucking serious, are you?
Demi: No, duuh. [pushes his hand away] I'm trying to make us live while you're just buying other crap.
Joe: Okay, okay. Sorry.
Midnight, in bed.
Joe: [at one side of the bed] Demi?
Demi: Ugh.. What?
Joe: You're not asleep?
Demi: If I was, would I have answered?
Joe: Uhmm... [turns his body to Demi's side]
Demi: [her back was facing his front, turns her head] What?
Joe: I'm sorry.
Demi: ...About?
Joe: You know what I mean.
Demi; No, I don't. Unless you tell me.
Joe: I'm sorry for the other night for getting mad at you into having sex.
Demi: Yeah... Okay.
Joe: Okay? That's it?
Demi: [turns her body to him] Yeah.
Joe: So you forgive me?
Demi: I didn't say that.
Joe: But I thought our bet would be over.
Demi: Haha... No. It's not over. It's still on.
Joe: Please don't make me wait that long.
Demi: [shrugs] Not my fault you made me come up with it.
Joe: Or else I'd go do it with somebody else.
Demi: Your choice. But, don't you think it's called cheating? [smirks]
Joe: Huh?
Demi: Remember? You're my fiance. [turns her body back to the side] Can't cheat on anybody, Joe. [smirks again]
Joe: Ugggh! One week of torture!
Demi: Gotta deal with it. And, I didn't forgive you yet.
Joe: Oh cmon!
Demi: Maaaybe I will.
Joe: Really?!
Demi: After the bet.
Joe: Don't make me wait that long, Demmm.
Demi: Sucks for you.
chapter 32
Joe: Come on.... You forgive me, right?
Demi: I never said that.
Joe: But... After one week, will you have sex with me?
Demi: Maybe.
Joe: [smiles] That's a yes.
Demi: No, Joe. That's a "maybe". Which means, there are two possible answers. Yes AND no.
Joe: But you'll probably say yes.
Demi: How about... You don't get anymore sex from me... At all? How does that sound?
Joe: No no! Pleaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeee.
Demi: Then shut up. I'm trying to sleep, but you keep talking.
Joe: Geez. Pregnant women these days.
Demi: [rolls her eyes]
The next day.
Demi: [making some sandwiches]
Joe: [hugs her from behind and kisses her neck] Hey baby.
Demi: Don't touch me.
Joe: [shakes his head] What you making?
Demi: I said don't touch me! [pushes him off]
Joe: What's wrong with you?
Demi: Never argue with a pregnant women.
Joe: [rolls his eyes]
Demi: Don't you roll your eyes at me!
Joe: Why not? [smirks]
Demi: I don't like you doing that.
Joe: Like I care.
Demi: [makes her right pointing and middle finger to a size of a peanut] I am this CLOSE to killing you.
Joe: How are you going to do that?
Demi: [lifts her knife] This.
Joe: Okaayy. Nevermindd.
Demi: Want me to?
Joe: No thank you.
Demi: [puts it down] I didn't think so. [goes back to making her sandwiches]
Joe: What's inside those?
Demi: Tuna.
Joe: Yumm.
Demi: Who said I was making it for you?
Joe: [frowns] But I'm hungry.
Demi: [gives him a plate of the sandwich]
Joe: [smiles] Thank you, fiance. [starts eating it]
Demi: [looks away, slightly smiling]
Joe: [notices] What? [chuckles]
Demi: [looks back at him] Huh?
Joe: You're smiling by yourself.
Demi: Nothing.
Joe: Sureee.
Demi: [starts walking to the living room]
Joe: By the way...
Demi: [stops]
Joe: [stands up from his chair, then slowly walks to her] If we don't have sex this week... Am I still able to kiss you?
Demi: [shrugs] Probably. [starts walking again]
Joe: Good. [grabs her arm and turns her around, facing him and attaches his lips on hers while pulling her closer]
chapter 33
Demi: [kisses back for a minute, then opens her eyes wide and tries to push him off]
Joe: [holds her tighter]
Demi: [manages to push him off]
Joe: What?
Demi: [runs to a bedroom's bathroom]
Joe: [follows her] Demi? [sees Demi's head in the toilet, puking. He lifts her hair up and rubs her back]
Demi: [lifts her head out of the toilet] Joeee...
Joe: I'll be right back. [goes to the kitchen and gets a glass of water. He goes back to the bedroom to see Demi lying on the bed] Drink.
Demi: [nods, she sits up and drinks up half of the glass]
Joe: [gets it from Demi and places it on the bedside drawer]
Demi: [groans]
Joe: [sits on the edge of the bed]
Demi: I feel so weak...
Joe: [touches Demi's forehead] Demi... Your burning up...
Demi: [nods] I know...
Joe: [grabs the blanket and covers her body with it]
Demi: [gives a small smile]
Joe: You just rest. [closes the curtains, heading for the door]
Demi: Joe?
Joe: [stops and turns around] Yeah?
Demi: Can you...
Joe: What?
Demi: Uhmm.. Can you... Lay beside me?
Joe: [smiles and nods] Sure. [goes over to the bed]
Demi: [moves aside]
Joe: [lays on the bed, covering his body with the blanket too]
Demi: I know I'm not supposed to be doing this...
Joe: What do you mean?
Demi: I should still be mad at you.
Joe: Let me take care of you, Dem.
Demi: I can't...
Joe: Please, Demi. Your body is warming up. You're sick.
Demi: [thinks for a moment, hesitates but nods]
Joe: [hugs her, feeling his body get warm] I'll go down the store and get some advil later.
Demi: [her face on his chest, weak] Okay...
Joe: [leans his head down and kisses her forehead]
Demi: [closes her eyes]
Joe: [watches her slowly falling asleep]
Demi: [fully asleep]
Joe: [strokes her hair] I love you, Dems. Remember that. [slowly falls asleep too]
chapter 34
At night.
Demi: [in the living room sitting on the couch watching tv, while being covered with a blanket]
Joe: [walks to the living room] Here.
Demi: [looks at him] What?
Joe: [sits down next to her]
Demi: Soup?
Joe: [smiles and nods] Remember the other day?
Demi: [chuckles] Your mum's soup.
Joe: Yeah...
Demi: [frowns] Before we ran away.
Joe: Please don't think about that right now. I'll feed you.
Demi: [nods]
Joe: [feeds her with the spoon of soup]
Demi: [feels the warm liquid down her throat]
Joe: [looks down at the soup]
Demi: ...Joe?
Joe: [looks up] Yeah?
Demi: [gives a small smile] Thanks.
Joe: [smiles] No problem.
Demi: But don't think that this thing will make me forgive you.
Joe: [chuckles] Let's forget about that thing for a moment, shall we?
Demi: [smiles and nods]
Joe: [looks at the TV] Seriously?
Demi: What? Tom and Jerry is funny, okay?
Joe: It's so fucking boring.
Demi: [struggles to move her hand]
Joe: [looks at her weirdly] What are you doing?
Demi: I want to hit you, but I'm too weak.
Joe: [laughs] Am I THAT bad?
Demi: Yes.
Joe: [feeds her some more]
Demi: [swallows] That's enough for now.
Joe: Okay. [places the bowl on the coffee table in front of them, then sits back on the couch]
Demi: [looks at him]
Joe: [smiles] It's okay.
Demi: [leans her body on him] You're so cold.
Joe: That's because you're sick.
The doorbell rings.
Joe: Who the fuck is ringing at night?
Demi: Just get it.
Joe: Okay. Stay here. [gets up and goes to the front, then looks at the hole of the door. It was a lady. He opens the door]
Lady: Hello. Welcome to the neighbourhood. I live right next door. [smiles]
Joe: [smiles] Thank you. My fiance is inside, but she can't come out, since she's sick.
Lady: Oh, that's okay.
Joe: [offers his hand] My name's Shane. Shane Gray. [smiles]
Lady: [shakes his hand] Camilla. Camilla Belle. [smiles]
Joe: Nice to meet you.
Camilla: You too. [gives him a basket full of muffins] Here.
Joe: Wow... Thanks a lot.
Camilla: Your welcome. I must be leaving now. Bye. [smiles and leaves]
chapter 35
Joe: [closes the door, bringing the basket of muffins inside]
Demi: Who is it?
Joe: Uhm.. Next door neighbour. [sits on the couch] Want a muffin?
Demi: [shakes her head weakly]
Joe: Okay. [takes one bite]
Demi: [looks at Joe]
Joe: [finishes chewing] It's nice.
Demi: [chuckles]
Joe: Just try it. [grabs a small amount and feeds her]
Demi: [smiles and starts chewing]
Joe: How is it?
Demi: [gives a small nod] Okay.
Joe: [looks at her lips]
Demi: What?
Joe: You have uh... Chocolate.
Demi: Where?
Joe: I'll get it. [wipes the chocolate off her lower lip]
Demi: [looks at his fingers]
Joe: [lifts her head up, and leans in]
Demi: [pushes him away lightly] No, Joe. You're going to be sick.
Joe: How can I be sick?
Demi: I don't know? Maybe the sickness can transfer from me to you, and I don't want that.
Joe: [chuckles] Honestly, I don't care. [leans in again]
Demi: [this time doesn't stop him]
Joe: [lightly kisses her and makes her sit on his lap, straddling him]
Demi: [shivers]
Joe: [covers both of them with the blanket, then grabs both of her arms and wraps it around his neck]
Demi: [gives a small smile]
Joe: Your arms are warm around my neck.
Demi: [chuckles]
Joe: [kisses her again]
Demi: [closes her eyes]
Joe: [slowly begins to move his hand behind her, going inside her top]
Demi: [pulls away] Your hand is cold!
Joe: Sorry. [unhooks her bra, then pulls it out but her shirt is still on, then smirks] Black.
Demi: [goes red]
Joe: Aww, little Demi is blushingg.
Demi: Joe! [goes even more red]
Joe: [smiles] Sorry.
Demi: [shakes her head and kisses him again]
Joe: [puts his hand inside her shirt, and slowly touches her breasts]
Demi: [moans through the kiss]
Joe: [plays around with her nipples]
Demi: [slowly grinds on him]
Joe: [groans and pulls away, looks at Demi breathing heavily]
Demi: [quite sweating]
Joe: Want to take this upstairs?
Demi: [out of breath from the make out session] I'm sick. Can't do it with you.
Joe: [stands up, holding onto her ass, then starts walking upstairs] I don't care. I'll take control.
Demi: [bites her lower lip]
chapter 36
Joe: [when he gets upstairs, he goes to their room and lays Demi down on their bed]
Demi: Joe...
Joe: [lays next to her] Yeah?
Demi: I can't do this, sorry.
Joe: What?
Demi: I mean... Our bet is still on.
Joe: Oh, cmon Demsss. [touches her inner thighs]
Demi: Joeeee. Nooo.
Joe: [unzips her shorts] You know you want to.
Demi: Joe. I'm sick... Plus, it's coldddd.
Joe: [turns off the AC, then goes back to the bed] Problem solved. [smirks]
Demi: [rolls her eyes] Our bet, dumbass.
Joe: That doesn't stop me from touching you. [slips her shorts off]
Demi: [now only in her thong] No Joeee.
Joe: [slowly rubs her through her thong]
Demi: [slightly moans]
Joe: [smiles] Like?
Demi: [stops his hand before she could cum] Joe, please. I'm too weak.
Joe: I don't mind. You can just lay here while I do the work. [pulls down her thong to see that her pussy was wet, smirks]
Demi: [blushes]
Joe: [smiles and leans down, kissing her lips]
Demi: [wraps her arms around his neck, responding]
Joe: [without a warning, he sticks a finger in her]
Demi: [pulls away and moans] Joeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Joe: [pecks her lips] Let it out, baby. [starts moving his finger in and out]
Demi: J-Joee.. P-Pleaaseee..
Joe: [adds two more fingers]
Demi: Oh godd, Ohh... [rolls her eyes as she releases]
Joe: [pulls his fingers out and sucks on them] Mmm...
Demi: [breathing heavily]
Joe: [smiles] You taste so good.
Demi: [pushes him down on the bed and straddles him]
Joe: [smirks] I thought you were sick.
Demi: Well... You made me do this.
Joe: [smiles, he sits up, takes off his shirt then lays back down again, with Demi on his lap]
Demi: [just looks at him]
Joe: You get off first, I can't do it.
Demi: [gets off of him]
Joe: [takes off his baggy jeans]
Demi: [stops his hand when he wants to take his boxers off]
Joe: [looks at her with a confused face]
Demi: Who said we are having sex? [slips her thong back on, and wears her shorts again. She lays down on the pillow]
Joe: You tease!
Demi: What?
Joe: [lays down beside her] You made me go hard!
Demi: [goes under the covers] And it's my fault?
Joe: [goes under the covers too] Duuh.
Demi: [places her hand on his area through his boxers, and starts rubbing him]
Joe: [moans loud]
Demi: [stops and slips her hand inside his boxers and begins rubbing him again]
Joe: [cums]
Demi: [pulls her hand out, and licks her hand]
Joe: [pulls her in and kisses her]
Demi: [after a minute, pulls away, breathing heavily] Satisfied?
Joe: [smiles] Very. [kisses her head as she leans her head on his chest] You know... We didn't break the bet.
Demi: Huh?
Joe: We didn't even have sex.
Demi: [groans]
Joe: So, we could do this all the time without having sex. [smirks]
Demi: [rolls her eyes] Go to sleep and dream or something. [closes her eyes]
Joe: [watches her fall asleep] I'll dream about you, baby.
chapter 37
The next day.
Joe: [groans as the ray of sun goes to his face. He looks to his side to see nobody beside him. He sits up, rubs his eyes, stands up and heads for the door. He goes downstairs to see Demi making breakfast] Hey.
Demi: [smiles] Hi. [gives him a plate with toast and egg on it]
Joe: [sits down] You look... Fine?
Demi: [nods] Yeah. I'm alright now. Somebody though didn't buy me some advil. I had to go down the store to buy some.
Joe: [nervous laugh] Sorry.
Demi: [smiles] It's okay.
Joe: Why are you being kind today? [starts eating]
Demi: [shrugs] Not in the mood to be mad.
Joe: How about your bet? [smirks]
Demi: [rolls her eyes] Last night was only going to be the last one for the week.
Joe: Suuuuure.
Demi: Let's go to the beach today.
Joe: Why?
Demi: Ugh. You're so boring. I'm going wether you like it or not.
Joe: Fine fine. I'll go.
Demi: I'll set your trunks on the bed.
Joe: [nods]
Demi: [goes upstairs]
Joe: [watches her butt move as she goes up. He thinks for a moment. Does he like her? Does he LOVE her?]
Later on.
Joe: Ready?
Demi: Yeah. Wait... Let me find what sandals to wear. [goes to their shoe section near the front door and thinks for a moment]
Joe: [groans] Just pick one already!
Demi: Wait! I want one that will match my clothes!
Joe: Why can't you just pick one? You're going to take it off anyway.
Demi: Aha! I'll take the blue one. [leans down]
Joe: [smirks, he grabs her butt and gives it a little squeeze, then slaps it]
Demi: [jumps a little, then grabs her sandles and wears them] Oi!
Joe: What? I just CAN'T resist it. [smirks again]
Demi: [rolls her eyes, she opens the front door to see a lady standing in front of their house] Uhmm... Can I help you?
Lady: [smiles] Hi. My name is Camilla.
Joe: She's our neighbour.
Demi: Ohh. Okay. Hi. [smiles and shakes her hand] I'm Mitchie.
Camilla: [fake smiles] Nice to meet you.
Demi: You too.
Camilla: Where are you guys going to go?
Joe: Somewhere, now go.
Camilla: Oh okay. Sorry to bother. Bye. [smiles and leaves]
Demi: [waits until Camilla is not to be seen anymore] Joe! That was rude!
Joe: [shrugs] So? Let's go nowww. [pouts]
Demi: [smiles] Aww, okay. You're so cute! [pinches his cheeks]
Joe: [blushes] T-Thanks.
Demi: Oh my god. You're blushing!
Joe: [goes even more red] No I'm not. Let's go! [closes the door, locks it then heads for the car quickly]
Demi: [smiles, then mumbles] He likes it when I call him cute. [heads for the car also, then gets in]
Joe: [turns on the engine]
Demi: [makes him face her and pecks his lips]
Joe: What was that for?
Demi: [smiles] I don't know.
Joe: [chuckles] Okay.
chapter 38
At the beach.
Girl: Hey, you wanna join me and my friends play beach volleyball? [smiles]
Demi: [smiles] Sure. I'm Mitchie.
Girl: [shakes her hand] Samantha. Sam for short. [smiles]
Joe: Can I join?
Sam: No.
Joe: Why not?
Sam: I'm just kidding.
Demi: [laughs] You're so easy to play with.
Sam: Who is he?
Demi: Fiance.
Sam: Good taste you have in guys.
Demi: [chuckles] This is my baby we're talking about.
Joe: Yeah. [crosses his arms proudly]
Demi: [rolls her eyes, smiling]
Sam: [chuckles] Okay okay.
Later on, in the middle of the game.
Demi: [jumps up and hits the ball to the other side]
Joe: [tries to hit it back, but trips]
Demi's team: [laugh]
Joe: [groans]
Ben: [one of Joe's team] Cmon, man! We're loosing!
Sam: Yeah, the worst part is, you're all loosing to girls. [laughs]
Demi: [runs to the other side and leans down] Are you okay, baby?
Lisa: [one of Demi's team, chuckles]
Joe: [frowns] No.
Demi: [pulls him to her chest] My poor baby.
Joe: [hugs her stomach]
Jake: [another of Joe's team] Okay guys. Please. Just get on with the game!
Demi: [stands up, she offers her hand to Joe]
Joe: [smiles, he takes her hand and stands up] Sorry guys. But, we're going.
Sam: Where?
Joe: [swoops Demi in his arms, bridal style] To the sea.
Demi: Shane... Put me down.
Joe: No. Bye guysssss. [runs to the sea, splashing the water with his feet]
Demi: [giggling, then whispers] Joe! My shorts!
Joe: [chuckles] Let them get wet.
Demi: Seriously, put me down.
Joe: [lets her stand up] Geez. You're no fun.
Demi: [frowns]
Joe: [smiles] Just kidding. You know... You're getting better and better at acting as my fiance. [smirks]
Demi: [shrugs] We don't want to be suspicious.
Joe: Hmm... Are you sure that's the reason?
Demi: [hits his arm]
Joe: [chuckles]
Demi: Yes, SHANE. [turns around, facing the sea]
Joe: [hugs her from behind] I don't like that Camilla girl.
Demi: Why? She looks nice.
Joe: Demi... Don't judge a book by its cover.
Demi: True.
Joe: I mean... Why would somebody just be at your doorstep in the morning?
Demi: Because they are being nice.
Joe: But think about it. She was like right in front of the door. I think she was eavesdropping.
Demi: [turns around] Do you think she is?
Joe: Maybe.
Demi: She might get suspicious.
Joe: That's why, we act as real as we can.
Demi: [nods]
Joe: Starting from............ Now. [swoops her up again, then walks towards their place where there was their bags]
Demi: Pleaaaaaaaase put me downn. [frowns]
Joe: Alright. Fine. [lays her down on the blanket that they set up earlier, then lays beside her. He interwines both of his hands together and puts it behind his head, leaning on it]
Demi: [smiles and hugs his lower waist, her head leaning on his chest]
Joe: [chuckles] Comfortable?
Demi: Mhmm. Now, do we look real?
Joe: Very. [smiles down at her]
chapter 39
Demi: ...Joe?
Joe: Yeah?
Demi: I bet your parents are worried right now.
Joe: Let them. I don't care.
Demi: That's not good to say.
Joe: [shrugs]
Sam: [walks up to them] Hey again.
Demi: [looks up and smiles] Hey Sam. How's the game?
Joe: I bet the guys won. [smirks]
Sam: [laughs] You're wrong, Shane. The ladies won of course. [high fives Demi]
Demi: [laughs]
Joe: Whatever.
Sam: Okay, I've gotta go now. I'll see you guys next time. [smiles and leaves]
Demi: She's nice.

Demi: Oh yes. Very. [rolls her eyes again] Cmon. Let's go home. I'm hungry. [stands up]
Joe: [sits up] You're always hungry.
Demi: [shrugs, she offers her hand]
Joe: I don't wanna go now. [whines]
Demi: Cmon.
Joe: [holds her hand, then pulls her down to him, smirking]
Demi: Joe... We're in public.
Joe: Which makes it more real. [He kisses her, then makes her legs go on each side of him]
Demi: [nods, she kisses him and wraps her arms around his neck as Joe pulls her closer]
Guy: [cough] Ehmm.
Jemi: [pulls away to look who was doing that. It was a lifeguard]
Joe: Yes?
Guy: No PDA here please. This is a public beach. There are kids here too.
Demi: [gets off of Joe and stands up, being embarrassed] Sorry.
Guy: [smiles] It's alright. Just, don't do it again.
Joe: [rolls his eyes]
Guy: [offers his hand] I'm Logan.

Demi: [looks at Logan] Oh. Bye.
Logan: [smiles at her, then walks away]
Demi: Joe...
Joe: I know I know.
Demi: He is cute.
Joe: What?
Demi: [shrugs] He is.
Joe: Excuse me, Mrs "Gray" but you have to keep your profile.
Demi: I'm not married yet.
Joe: But we will be. In a week.
Demi: In a week?
Joe: Yes.
Demi: Ugh. Whatever. Let's go home now.
That night.
Demi: [watching the TV while eating popcorn]
Joe: [walks in the living room, then looks at Demi]
Demi: [sees Joe] Hey.
Joe: [smiles] Hey.
Demi: Come. Sit. [pats the spot next to her]
Joe: [sits beside her]
Demi: [eats the popcorn]
Joe: [fiddles with his thumb]
Demi: Why are you so quiet?
Joe: What? Me?
Demi: Yeah.
Joe: Uhmm... Demi?
Demi: [concentrating on the TV] Mhmm?
Joe: I... I need to tell you something...
Demi: [looks at Joe] What is it?
Joe: C-Can you turn off the TV for a m-moment?
Demi: Sure... I guess. [turns off the TV with a remote] So. [faces Joe] What's up?
Joe: I..
Demi: It's okay, Joe. Just tell me.
Joe: I have these feelings...
Demi: [smiles] Yeah?
Joe: [nods] I like this girl... Well, I think love.
Demi: Love? That's a strong word.
Joe: [looks down] I know. And... I want to ask her out, but I'm afraid if she'll reject me. [looks at Demi to see her reaction]
Demi: Does she know you exist?
Joe: Yeah. We're close. Very close, really.
Demi: Hmm... You want my opinion?
Joe: [nods nervously] Please.
Demi: Well... I think you should go for it. Go ask her out. Is she dating anybody?
Joe: I don't think so. No.
Demi: Ask her out then. [smiles]
Joe: But... How?
Demi: Just... Tell her why you love her. Tell her why you want her to be your girlfriend.
Joe: Can I try it out on you first?
Demi: [nods]
Joe: I can use your name, right?
Demi: Yeah... Go ahead.
Joe: [holds Demi's hand]
Demi: [smiles]
Joe: Demi... I... I've known you since we were 10. And... We've been friends for so long. As time goes by, my feelings towards you have changed... I want to get to the point. I like you. No. Love. I love you. I want to see you everyday. I want to see your face everyday. Why? Because, when I do see it, a smile straight away forms on my face. So... [takes a deep breath] Will you be my girlfriend?
Demi: Wow, Joe. I've never seen you this deep. You're all good. That was good. Really good. Yeah, you're ready. Now, go ask that girl you're in love with. [smiles]
Joe: I... I just... Did.
chapter 41
Demi: Wait... What?
Joe: I just asked the girl that I'm in love with.
Demi: You're... You're in love with me?
Joe: [sighs] Yeah.
Demi: But but... How?
Joe: I don't know either.
Demi: Uhmm...
Joe: I know... It's going to get awkward between us...
Demi: What do you mean?
Joe: This is why I asked for your opinion. I know that I'll get rejected.
Demi: I'll think about it, Joe.
Joe: For real?
Demi: Yeah... I mean... There's nothing wrong with you...
Joe: [smiles]
Demi: But... I would have never imagined you liking me.
Joe: Love.
Demi: Yeah... Uhm.. That. You're like... My best friend.
Joe: This is why I'm afraid of rejection.
Demi: I'm not rejecting you... I just... Let me think about it, okay?
Joe: [nods]
When they're in bed. It was silent.
Demi: Joe?
Joe: [turns his head] Yeah?
Demi: [turns her whole body to him] Why?
Joe: Why what?
Demi: Why do you love me?
Joe: 'Cause you're hot--
Demi: You don't love me JUST for my body... Right?
Joe: Of course not. There are a million things I would say to why I love you. I like your hair, wether its brown OR black, I like the way you would make me smile, I like the way you would take care of me, I like your eyes, I love your smile. I love you, Demi. You're beautiful.
Demi: You love my smile?
Joe: Who wouldn't? It's the prettiest one I've seen.
Demi: [slightly blushes, even though it's dark]
Joe: Do you want me to say more about why I love you?
Demi: Whoaa. There's more?
Joe: Way more than you can imagine.
Demi: I think that's enough for the night. [chuckles]
Joe: So... Do you have an answer?
Demi: Oh... Uhmm... I guess...
Joe: Yeah? What is it?
Demi: I'm sorry Joe...
Joe: [sighs, he turns his head back to his side] Forget it.
Demi: Look, I'm sorry! I don't feel the same way. I want to, I really do.
Joe: Why? Because you feel sympathy for me?
Demi: Why are you suddenly like this?
Joe: Forget it, Demi.
Demi: I just can't FORGET this, Joe! You're my best friend! I just don't feel the same way as you do, okay?!
Joe: Atleast say it a little nicer!
Demi: Why are you suddenly mad at me?! Just because I don't have that feeling towards you, doesn't mean you get angry at me!
Joe: You know what... Forget this. Forgot about this whole thing! We are "breaking-up".
Demi: Okay then! [turns around]
Joe: [sighs quietly]
chapter 42
The next day.
Joe: [watching TV on the couch]
Demi: [walks downstairs wearing white shorts and a plain blue shirt, looks at Joe]
Joe: [takes his eyes from the TV to Demi, then looks back at the TV]
Demi: [scoffs, she goes to the kitchen and makes herself a bowl of cereal. She then walks to the living room, then sits on the couch Joe was in, but sits at the very edge]
Joe: [ignores her]
The doorbell rings.
Joe: [stands up, he walks to the front door and opens it] Hey.
Camilla: Hi. Can I come in?
Joe: [shrugs, he moves aside]
Camilla: [comes in] Thanks.
Joe: [closes the door, then goes back to the living room and sits on the same spot]
Camilla: [walks in the living room]
Demi: [looks at Joe, then sees Camilla. She goes back to eating]
Camilla: [stands there awkwardly] So... Hi Mitchie.
Demi: Hey.
Camilla: Uhmm...
Joe: You can sit here if you want. [pats the spot that was between him and Demi]
Demi: [glares at Joe]
Joe: [smirks]
Camilla: Okay. [sits on that spot]
Demi: [stands up, she walks back to the kitchen to wash her bowl]
Joe: [has his eyes glued to Demi's butt while she walks to the kitchen. He starts to get a little bit horny]
Camilla: Why aren't you guys talking to each other?
Joe: [looks at Camilla] We broke up.
Camilla: Oh... I'm so sorry. [pretends to be sad]
Joe: [shakes his head]
Camilla: I think I'll just leave. [stands up]
Joe: Okay. Let me walk you out.
Camilla: No need. [smiles, she leaves the house]
Demi: [walks to the living room] That bitch left?
Joe: Why? Jealous?
Demi: As if. [walks upstairs to get changed, then goes back down and heads for the door]
Joe: Where are you going?
Demi: Beach.
Joe: Again?
Demi: So? We're not together. I can do whatever I want. [leaves the house]
At the beach.
Demi: [looking at the sea]
Guy: [from behind] Hey.
Demi: [turns her head] Logan. [smiles]
Logan: Mind if I join you?
Demi: Not at all.
Logan: [stands beside her] What are you doing here?
Demi: Oh... Just wanted to get some fresh air...
Logan: Where's your fiance?
Demi: Shane? We broke up.
Logan: What? Why?
Demi: I don't want to talk about it.
Logan: [nods] That's alright.
Demi: So... How's life being... A lifeguard?
Logan: [chuckles] It's okay. How's life being... Beautiful?
Demi: [chuckles and mocks him] It's okay. Anyway, what time does your shift ends?
Logan: [checks his waterproof watch] About... 10 more minutes. Why?
Demi: I kind of need company.
Logan: Want to grab a bite after my shift ends? [smiles]
Demi: [smiles and nods] That would be great. Thanks.
Afternoon, when Demi gets home.
Demi: [walks in the living room and sees Joe and a girl talking to each other, smiling. She couldn't see who it was since the girl's back was facing Demi, until she went closer] Samantha?
chapter 43
Sam: [turns her head] Mitchie!
Demi: [looks at Joe curiously, then back at Sam] How do you know where Shane and I live?
Sam: I was walking round the streets when Shane was outside this house.
Demi: Oh. Okay. What are you doing here?
Joe: Me being the good guy, asked her to stick around for a while.
Sam: Mhmm.
Demi: Sam... You do know what happened to us... Right?
Sam: Yeah. But, why are you both living together? [looks at them both suspiciously]
Joe: Uhmm... I'm not bothered to move out. Yeah.
Demi: Exactly.
Sam: [chuckles] Is he THAT lazy?
Demi: Trust me, this is just the beginning. Would you like to stay for lunch? [smiles]
Sam: [smiles] That would be great.
Later on, when there isn't Sam anymore. Demi was sitting on the couch with Joe, while watching TV.
Demi: [looks down at her fingers] Joe?
Joe: Hmm?
Demi: Why?
Joe: Why what?
Demi: Why was... Why was she here?
Joe: [looks at Demi] Huh?
Demi: [looks at Joe] Don't play dumb!
Joe: I have no idea what you are talking about.
Demi: Sam. Why was Sam here?
Joe: She was just walking round the neighbourhood. I was being kind, okay? I offered her to come in.
Demi: Why didn't you call me that she was here?
Joe: Oh, I don't know. I think SOMEBODY broke my phone.
Demi: [sighs] Sorry.
Joe: Besides, why were you asking that question earlier?
Demi: About Sam?
Joe: Yeah.
Demi: Uhmm.. [looks at the TV] Nothing.
Joe: OH... I get it. You're jealous!
Demi: Me? Jealous? Psh. Right.
Joe: Admit it, Dem. You're jealous. You love me too. [smiles]
Demi: I do not. [stands up]
Joe: You love me.
Demi: No, stop talking trash. [starts walking]
Joe: [grabs her arm]
Demi: [turns her head to Joe]
Joe: Demi Lovato loves Joe Jonas, because, Demi Lovato was jealous of her friend that she was close to Joe Jonas.
Demi: No. What the fuck. [tries to push his hand away]
Joe: [smirks, he pulls her in and kisses her]
Demi: [struggles but slowly finds herself kissing him back]
Joe: [smiles through the kiss]
Demi: [realizes what she's doing, she pushes him off and turns around, heading for the staircase]
Joe: [follows Demi and when they get halfway of the staircase, Joe grabs Demi's arm and pulls her in, kissing her again. Demi looked hot when she was mad, and that turned him on, real bad]
Demi: [can't take it anymore. She missed his kisses. A LOT. She jumps on Joe, wrapping her legs around his waist and arms around his neck, kissing him back roughly]
chapter 44
Joe: [smiles and holds her butt for support, he walks them upstairs and to their room]
Demi: [pulls away, breathing heavily while he lays her down on the bed] No, Joe. I can't.
Joe: [looks into her eyes] Say you don't want this.
Demi: [looks away] No.
Joe: [makes her face him] Say it. Say that you don't want any of this. Say that you don't love me, and I won't do it again.
Demi: [shakes her head]
Joe: Demi... Say it. I want you to say it. I want to hear it from you.
Demi: [sighs] I can't do this anymore. I can't date you.
Joe: Why?
Demi: Because...
Joe: Yeah?
Demi: Because you'll break my heart. [looks away]
Joe: [makes her face him again] Listen to me Dems. I will never break your heart. Got it? Never.
Demi: That's what everybody says. Yet, they get their hearts broken at the end.
Joe: No, Demi. I won't. I love you too much to hurt you. Please, Demi. Please.
Demi: [nods, she wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him and whispers in his ear] I'm sorry Joe. I do love you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I made you mad earlier. I'm sorry--
Joe: [pulls away from the hug] Don't be sorry. [smiles and hugs her]
Demi: [smiles, but then frowns] This is going to be weird.
Joe: [pulls away] What?
Demi: You and me dating. I'm not used to it.
Joe: [holds her hand and kisses it] We'll make it work. [smiles then kisses her]
Demi: [pulls him in closer by the neck]
Joe: [pulls away and helps Demi take off her tank top]
Demi: [only in her bra and shorts]
Joe: Oh god. You're so fucking hot. [kisses her again roughly]
Demi: [pushes him away] Wait... You think I'm hot?
Joe: Duuh.
Demi: [frowns] You don't love me for my body only, right?
Joe: Of course not. I already told you. I love everything about you.
Demi: [smiles, a tear falls] Aww, Joe.
Joe: Please don't cry. [wipes her tear]
Demi: You're just... So sweet.
Joe: We don't even have to have sex tonight.
Demi: Really?
Joe: [smiles and nods]
Demi: [hugs him tightly]
Joe: I think I've got enough hugs today. [chuckles]
Demi: [pulls away] Oh, sorry.
Joe: [makes her hug him again] I didn't say I didn't like it.
Demi: [smiles, she kisses his cheek]
Demi wears her top again, and they get ready for bed.
Silence filled the room.
Joe: Demi?
Demi: [looks at Joe] Yeah?
Joe: Uhmm... Even if we don't have sex...
Demi: What?
Joe: Can we... Uhmm... Make out? [looks at her shyly]
Demi: [laughs]
Joe: [frowns] You're making fun of me! [turns his body away from Demi]
Demi: [she turns his head to her and smiles] Of course.
Joe: [smiles, he turns his body back to facing Demi and pulls her in by the waist and kisses her]
chapter 45
Demi: [pulls his head closer, by the neck]
With Joe's family in LA.
Denise: [sitting on an armchair]
Frankie: [massages Denise's arm]
Denise: [haven't slept for a day or two]
Paul: Sweetie, you have got to rest.
Denise: I can't, Paul! Joe ran away! I don't even know where! [looks at the clock] He could be anywhere in the world at this moment.
Frankie: Mum, please calm down. [hugs her]
Denise: [nods unsurely]
Frankie: Joe will come back.
Denise: He won't.
Frankie: He will, mum. Trust me.
Paul: [has his head burried in his hands] This is all my fault.
Denise: [looks at him] What?
Paul: [looks up to see her face] He never wanted this marriage.
Denise: I know... But running away wasn't the option!
Paul: Well... We're too late now.
The next day, with Joe and Demi.
Demi: [wakes up and looks around to see that Joe wasn't sleeping anymore, she goes downstairs, to the kitchen, to see Joe wearing an apron. She smiles]
Joe: [doesn't know that Demi was in the kitchen, too busy mixing something in a bowl]
Demi: [walks up to him and hugs his waist from behind] Hey.
Joe: [jumps a little] Fucking shit! [turns his head] Demi! You scared the shit out of me!
Demi: Yeah... I can see that. Sorry. [frowns]
Joe: [smiles] It's okay. [pecks her lips, he goes back to mixing] I didn't hear your footsteps.
Demi: Maybe because you were TOO busy with the mixing. [chuckles]
Joe: [blushes] Y-Yeahh...
Demi: What are you making anyway?
Joe: I hope you don't mind... But I'm making... Pancakes?
Demi: Yeah, no problemo. [smiles. She goes to the counter that was just beside him, jumps up and sits on it]
Joe: [gets pans out and sets them. He turns on the stove, and walks to Demi to see her sleeping with her head leaning on the wall, while the pan is heating up] Demi?
Demi: [opens her eyes sleepily] Mmm?
Joe: You can go back to sleep if you want to.
Demi: [shakes her head slowly] I want to stay with you.
Joe: [smiles] I won't be going anywhere.
Demi: Still... [slowly closes her eyes again]
Joe: [he picks her up, then walks to the living room and lays her down on the couch]
Demi: Joeee... I want to stay in the kitchen with youu...
Joe: Don't worry. I'll wake you up when breakfast is ready, okay?
Demi: [nods] Okay...
Joe: [smiles, he leans down and pecks her lips repeatedly] Love you Dems.
Demi: Mmm... Love you too. [smiling while her eyes are closed] Joe...
Joe: Yes? [begins kissing down her neck]
Demi: Your pans.
Joe: Oh shit! [runs to the kitchen]
Demi: [chuckles]
chapter 46
Later on.
Joe: [sets the plates on the dining room, then the food. He goes to the living room to wake Demi up] Demi? Baby?
Demi: [snoring]
Joe: [smiles, he picks her up, making Demi go on his back, then walks to the dining room]
Demi: [groans while her eyes are still closed]
Joe: [chuckles, he sits her down on a seat, then takes a seat next to her] Demi? [strokes her cheek]
Demi: [sleepily opens her eyes]
Joe: [smiles] Breakfast.
Demi: [yawns] What? [stretches her arms]
Joe: Breakfast is ready.
Demi: Oh... [looks around the table] Looks delicious.
Joe: Why don't you go ahead and try one?
Demi: [nods, she gets about 2 pancakes with her fork, then places it on her plate. She grabs the small jug of maple syrup, then pours some on her pancakes] Here I go. [she tastes one bite]
Joe: [waits for her reaction]
Demi: [finishes the last piece that was in her mouth] Hmm... [nods] It's good.
Joe: [smiles]
In the middle of eating.
Demi: [holds her stomach, groaning] I think I'm going to puke.
Joe: But you were just eating.
Demi: [stands up from her chair] You just finish breakfast, babe. [goes to the toilet]
Joe: [follows her, then pulls her hair up and rubs her back while she pukes over the toilet]
Demi: [feels that she's done, she flushes the toilet, then leans on the wall while Joe was standing] I hate being pregnant.
Joe: [chuckles, he leans down] You need to get a shower.
Demi: [shakes her head] I've got pancakes to finish.
Joe: You can finish that later. Besides, you stink too much. [pretends to do a puking face]
Demi: [glares at him] Very funny Joe.
Joe: I'm just kidding.
Demi: [stands up, she goes over to the toilet and brushes her teeth]
Joe: [hugs her from behind and starts kissing her neck]
Demi: [after rinsing her mouth, she groans] Not now, Joe.
Joe: But baby... [nibbles on her ear] I'm horny... [bites her earlobe lightly]
Demi: [breathes heavily, she turns around, leaning on the counter]
Joe: Pleasee? [he presses his forehead against hers]
Demi: [closes her eyes, she wraps her arms around his neck]
Joe: [smiles, he kisses her then closes his eyes]
Demi: [through the kiss] Mmm...
Joe: [he picks her up by the thighs, so basically Demi has her legs around his waist]
Demi: [pulls on the back of his hair lightly, begging for the kiss to be rougher]
Joe: [leads them to the showers, while pulling Demi in closer]
chapter 47
Demi: [moans as Joe sucks on her neck]
Joe: [pulls away after leaving a hickey]
Demi: What?
Joe: [smirks]
Demi: [leaves from his grip, she looks at the mirror in the bathroom] Joe! [touches her neck] You bitch!
Joe: What? [smiles innocently]
Demi: [turns around] You. You're going to get your punishment.
Joe: Suuuure.
Demi: [takes off her shirt, leaving Demi in her lacy bra]
Joe: [licks his lips, he takes off his shirt, then his pants off. He gets in the tub with boxers on]
Demi: [takes her shorts off, she joins him. Demi then turns on the shower]
Jemi: [gets soaked]
Demi: [pushes Joe against the wall, turn turns around, her back facing him]

Joe: [rolls his eyes in pleasure] Demi...
Demi: [goes harder]
Joe: [moans loud]
Demi: [turns around to feel something poking her thighs]
Joe: You did that.
Demi: I guess I have to fix it then?
Joe: [smirks, he nods]
Demi: Take those off.
Joe: [slides his boxers off, then throws it somewhere on the ceramic]
Demi: [leans down on her knees, then grabs his dick]
Joe: [moans at the touch]
Demi: [slides her hand up and down]
Joe: Uhhh... Demiiiiiii.

Joe: [smirks, then speaks against her skin] Revenge.
chapter 48
Demi: [shakes her head] No Joe.
Joe: Yes Demi. [he slips her thong off]
Demi: [doesn't pay attention]
Joe: [without warning, he slips a finger in]
Demi: [gasps]
Joe: [smirks, he starts going in and out with his finger while he sucks on her nipple again]
Demi: [closes her eyes, being in pure pleasure]
Joe: Baby... You're so wet down there. [enters another finger]
Demi: [moans] Joee...
Joe: [mocks her] Joee.
Demi: [lifts her hand to hit him]
Joe: [quickly adds another finger and goes faster]
Demi: Uhhhhh.. [her hand goes to the nape of his neck instead]
Joe: [feels something on his fingers, he smiles] So quick.
Demi: Shut up. Get in me now.
Joe: What happened to "no sex for a week"? [smirks]
Demi: Stupid. A week already passed.
Joe: Really?
Demi: [rolls his eyes]
Joe: You never told me! Or else, I would've banged you earlier.
Demi: Whatever.
Joe: [he picks her up, then slides in her]
Demi: [moans]

Joe: [smirks again]
Demi: Oh my god, Joe! We just did it about 10 seconds ago!
Joe: Okay. Fine.
Demi: [smiles]

Joe: Demi? [holding two chips]
Demi: [on the bed, under the covers]
Joe: [walks to the bed] Baby? [he pulls the covers down a bit]
Demi: [sleeping]
Joe: [smiles, he lays down next to her. He looks down and realizes that she was sleeping in her bra and undies. He chuckles and pulls her in to him]

Joe: [he leans his head down and kisses her]
Demi: [pulls away after a minute then bites her lip]
Joe: [rubs her lips with his thumb] Don't do that. You'll damage your sexy lips.

Joe: [smiles] Anytime, babe. [pecks her lips before she drifts to sleep]
chapter 49
With the others in LA.
Paul: We need to ask Demi where Joe is...
Denise: [nods]
They went to the Garza house.
Denise: So, Demi's not home?
Dianna: Uhmm... No.
Paul: Ohh..
Eddie; But she did tell us about the marriage thing.
Paul: [nods]
Dianna: Denise, I think you're taking it too far.
Denise: Huh?
Dianna: Joe doesn't want to marry Ashley. Its that simple.
Paul: But he has to.
Eddie: You see, Joe came here the other day--
Denise: The other day?!
Eddie: I meant before he ran away... He said that Ashley's fake.
Paul: Fake?
Eddie: Yes. Demi trusts Joe. I trust Joe. Dianna trusts Joe.
Denise: It can't be.
Eddie: You both should start trusting your own son. We're not just talking about some boy, here. We're talking about YOUR son.
Paul: Maybe that's just an excuse.
Dianna: [shakes her head] I trust Joe.
Wiith Jemi in Canada.
Jemi: [eating at a restaurant near the beach]
Demi: This is so good. [eating steak]
Joe: [watches her eat, then whispers] Dem... We have to go to the doctor tomorrow.

Joe: Shane. This is my fiance. Mitchie.
Demi: David?
David: [faces Demi's direction] Wait... Demi?
Demi: Oh my god...
Sam: Who's Demi?
David: I... Uhmm...
Joe: [stands up and whispers in his ear] Call her Mitchie.
Sam: [suspicious]
David: Samantha... Me and Mitchie have met before.
Joe: [raises his eyebrow] Really?
Sam: Hmm... Then why did you call her "Demi"?
David: That... Was... My nickname... For her.
Demi: Y-Yep.
Joe: So... What were you guys before?
David: Uhmm.. [scratches his neck] We've dated before.

Dianna: Please calm down.
Denise: How can I?! I bet she planned this whole thing!
Paul: Denise!
Denise: What, Paul?!
Paul: We need to trust Joe!
Denise: About what?!
Eddie: Please calm down, Denise.
Paul: Maybe Joe is right. Ashley is fake.
Denise: That's impossible.
Paul: That's very possible. She does look so innocent.
Denise: It's because she IS innocent.
Paul: [shakes his head] No. I will trust Joe, and, you've got to, too. In fact, I WILL let Joe live with Demi in Canada.
Denise: What?
Paul: That's right. I'm not forcing him anymore.
In Canada.
It was night time. Jemi was in bed.

Demi: What about David?
Joe: Was he really your boyfriend?
Demi: Yeah... Ex.
Joe: When?
Demi: Like when I was 16?
Joe: He went to our school?
Demi: Nope.
Joe: How come you never told me?
Demi: I don't know... I just wanted to forget about the past, Joe.
Joe: But... You don't have any feelings for him anymore... Right?
Demi: Of course. [smiles] You're jealous, aren't you?
Joe: No.
Demi: Don't lie... [pokes his cheek]
Joe: Okay. Maybe. I just don't want it to happen.
Demi: To what happen?
Joe: Like... You develop feelings for him again... Then, you leave me.
Demi: [frowns] You're thinking negatively.
Joe: No, no, I'm not. I just... Please don't make that happen. Please, Demi. I love you too much. [tears begin to build up in the corner of his eyes]
Demi: [sees the tears] Oh, Joe! Please remember that I won't ever leave you! [she hugs him]
Joe: [pulls her in and lets tears out] Promise?
Demi: [looks up] I promise. Don't cry now. I hate seeing your tears. It makes me want to cry too.

chapter 51
Demi: [she pulls him closer]
Joe: [pulls away slowly. He looks at her lips]

Demi: [wipes his tear] Don't cry anymore, okay?
Joe: [nods]
The next day.
Doctor: [comes in with a clipboard]
Joe: So... How is the baby?
Doctor: It's doing good actually. Miss Torres, just remember not to get too much stress.
Demi: [smiles] I'll try not to, Doctor.
Doctor: Good. You take care of her, Shane.

Denise: While I was driving last night, I accidently saw Ashley walking into a club.
Paul: Wow. So... How about Joe?
Denise: I just realized I've been a bad mother... [lets a tear escape]
Paul: No, sweetie. You just didn't think it was right...
Denise: Yes, Paul. I've been a bad mother. I don't trust my own son!
Paul: But... Now you do, right?
Denise: [nods] I need to apologize to somebody. I need to apologize to Demi's parents.
In Canada.
Demi: Joe... How long are we supposed to cover everything up?
Joe: What?
Demi: [her phone rings in her pocket]
Joe: Wait... Why do you get to have a phone, and I dont?
Demi: [rolls here eyes, she checks the caller ID] It's... My mum. [she answers it] Mum?
Dianna: Demi! Oh god. I haven't seen you in ages! How are you?
Demi: [smiles] I'm great. Why haven't you called me in these past few days?
Dianna: I was busy. Sorry.
Demi: It's alright. So, how are you? How's dad?

Demi: Yeah?
Dianna: We told Joe's parents.
Demi: What?!
Joe: [looks at her with worries]
Dianna: But... Don't worry. She's alright with it.
Demi: Wait... She's alright with it? What the hell?
Dianna: She said she saw Ashley last night going to a club.
Demi: [chuckles]
Dianna: So, are you both in good conditions?
Demi: [looks at Joe and smiles. She rubs Joe's cheek] Yeah. Me and Joe are good.
Joe: [smiles, he leans in]
Demi: [stops him, she points to her phone]
Joe: [frowns]
Demi: [chuckles]
Dianna: What's happening?
Demi: Uhmm.. Nothing.
Dianna: How's Canada?
Demi: It's GREAT! I wanna live here, mum.
Dianna: You're living there right now, right?
Demi: Well, yeah...
Dianna: Are you guys under cover?
Demi: Yep.
Dianna: Well... Do you still want to stay in Canada?
Demi: Uhmm... Maybe for a bit.
Dianna: Okay. Keep your covers.
Demi: Oh... Okay.
Dianna: I need to go now. Your dad wants me to make him a sandwich.
Demi: [laughs]
Dianna: Okay. Bye, hunny. I love you.
Demi: Love you too.
Both hang up.
Joe: Now can I kiss you?
Demi: You don't have to ask.
Joe: [smiles, he pulls her in and kisses her]
chapter 52
Demi: [after a minute, remembers something. She pushes him away]
Joe: Uhmm... Did I do something wrong?
Demi: Your parents know about us.
Joe: Huh?
Demi: They know we're in Canada.
Joe: They do?
Demi: Yeah. My mum said they're not forcing you anymore.
Joe: Finally. What made her change her mind?
Demi: She uhmm... Saw Ashley the other night going to a club.
Joe: [chuckles] Bitch.
Demi: Your parents kept apologizing, Joe.
Joe: Yeah, I forgive them...
Demi: [smiles] My mum also asked, do you want to go back to LA?
Joe: [frowns] It's nice here.
Demi: I know.
Joe: How about... We'll stay for about... One week here?
Demi: One week?
Joe: Two?
Demi: [smiles] Better.
Later on, it was night. There was a barbeque on the beach. There was a huge firewood in the middle of their location.
Demi: [sitting on the sand, facing the sea]
Sam: [runs to her] Mitchie!
Demi: [turns her head and smiles] Hey Sam.
Sam: Mind if I sit next to you?
Demi: Not at all.
Sam: [sits down] Uhmm... I'm going to ask you something.
Demi: Okay.
Sam: You... You don't have anymore feelings... Right?
Demi: Feelings?
Sam: Yeah. For David.
Demi: Of course not. Sam, we dated like 2 years ago.
Sam: But people develop feelings even when they break up, Mitchie.
Demi: Yeah. But, nothing is going on and nothing will happen. He's all yours. David's all yours. [smiles]
Sam: [smiles] I can see why Shane loves you so much.
Demi: What?
Sam: Remember when you guys were both fighting and I was in your house? He told me that he loves you so much but he won't say it.
Demi: [smiles] My Shane.
Sam: [chuckles]
Joe: [walks to them with David] Hey babe. What are you smiling about?
Demi: Nothingggg.
Sam: You.
Joe: Aww, how sweet.
Sam: No, seriously.
David: [chuckles]
Demi: We were talking about...
Sam: How you love Mitchie so much.
Joe: [offers his hand to Demi]
Demi: [takes it and stands up]
Joe: I don't love Mitchie 'so much'. I love her way more than that.
David: [sits beside Sam]
Demi: [chuckles] Sweet, Shane.
Joe: [swoops Demi up in his arms, making Demi in a bridal style]
Demi: [smiles] Put me down.
Joe: No. [he runs back and forth with Demi in his arms]
Demi: [laughing]
David: [just looks at them both, looking mostly at Demi]
chapter 53
Joe: [smiling at Demi as he lets her stand on the sand again, then pecks her lips] Love you.
Demi: [fake gasps] That's not possible!
Sam: Seriously guys? [laughs]
Joe: What? I love my Mitchie.
David: Yours, huh?
Joe: Mines.
Demi: I'm not an item, Shane.
Joe: You belong with me.
Demi: [chuckles] Okay okay. I get it.
Joe: [hugs her from behind] You are only mine.
Demi: [turns her head to him] Only yours. [pecks his lips]
Joe: [grins]
David: [looks down]
Sam: [looks at David] What's wrong, hunny?
David: [looks at Sam and fake smiles] Nothing.
The next day.
Sam and David were at Jemi's house for breakfast, since Demi invited them.
Joe, Sam and David were in the living room while Demi was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Joe: So... How long have you guys been together?
David: Uhmm...
Sam: I can't remember.
David: 5 months?
Joe: [nods]
David: Hey... [looks at Sam then Joe] Shane.
Joe: Hmm?
David: Where's the bathroom?
Joe: Uhmm... If you go to the kitchen, there's one near it.
David: [stands up] Thanks man.
Joe: Anytime.
David: [makes his way to the bathroom. After about 2 minutes, he goes out again and sees Demi's back facing him in the kitchen. He decided to talk to her] Hey...
Demi: [turns her head and smiles] Hey David. Breakfast is going to be ready in a bit.
David: Yeah... I was using the bathroom.
Demi: Oh...
David: Why do I have to call you Mitchie and Joe Shane?
Demi: It's... A long story.
David: Short version?
Demi: We ran away.
David: Damn.
Demi: Joe's parents made him do an arranged marriage.
David: And he didn't want to because...?
Demi: She's a brat. Joe and I had this 'friends with benefits' kind of relationship.
David: Bad Demi.
Demi: [chuckles]
David: So... He's good with you?
Demi: [nods] Very. He loves me very much.
David: Do you love him very much?
Demi: Yep.
David: So, you both went under cover in Canada?
Demi: I guess so.
Silence filled the kitchen.
David: I'm sorry Dem.
Demi: What for?
David: I couldn't make you happy when we were... You know...
Demi: [smiles] It's alright. It's the past. Let's forget about the past.
David: Yeah but... I... I don't want to forget about the past.
Demi: [turns her head] What?
David: I miss you, Dem.
Demi: [shakes her head] No, David. No.
David: Demi...
Demi: Forget about this. Forget that we had this conversation. [walks to the living room] Breakfast is ready.
Joe: [smiles, he walks over to Demi and pecks her lips] I could smell it from here.
Demi: [she smells the air and nods, agreeing] True.
Joe: [sighs]
Demi: What's wrong?
Joe: Why are you so beautiful? I have to be more hotter than you.
Demi: [she smiles and hugs him] Shut up.
chapter 54
Sam: [covers her eyes with her hands]
Demi: [notices, she pulls away from Joe] What's wrong Sam?
Sam: Too much romance.
Joe: [chuckles] Okay. Let's go eat. I'm starving. [rubs his stomach]
When everyone was seated down, Demi offered some scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, baked beans, etc.
Sam: Why are you so quiet, David?
David: I'm just... Weak. [looks at Demi]
Demi: [looks away]
Joe: [whispers in Demi's ear] We're going to see the doctor later.
Demi: [smiles and nods]
Joe: [pecks her lips] You're so cute.
Demi: [blushes] Stop it.
Joe: What? You are.
Demi: [whispers in his ear] Do you think we should get "married"?
Joe: [thinks for a moment, then shakes his head]
Demi: [nods]
Sam: [drinks some of her orange juice] Damn, Mitchie. How do you cook this great?
Demi: [chuckles] It's normal for me.
Sam: Must be nice Shane to live with a wonderful woman who can cook.
Joe: I am very grateful. [smiles at Demi]
David: Uhmm.. Yeah. It's great. Thanks Mitchie.
Demi: Yeah... No problem...
Joe: [looks at them suspiciously, he whispers in Demi's ear] Anything you need to talk about?
Demi: [whispers back] Nope.
Later on.
Joe: [burps]
Demi: [hits his arm] Shane!
Joe: Hehe. Sorry.
Demi: You better be. There are guests here!
David: It's alright.
Sam: [laughs] Yeah. You know... Men.
Demi: Tell me about it.
Joe: About what?
Demi: Nothinggggg.
Sam: [stands up] We're just going to go.
Demi: Oh, why so early?
Sam: You know... I have siblings to take care of.
Demi: [smiles] Right. Okay.
David: I'm going to the bathroom first.
Sam: I'll be in the car. [leaves the house]
David: [goes to the bathroom]
Joe: I love you.
Demi: [smiles] Love you more.
Joe: [imitates her from earlier, he fake gasps] Not possible!
Demi: [chuckles, she hits him]
Joe: [groans] Stop doing that. I won't be hot anymore.
Demi: You'll always be hot for me. [bites her lip]
Joe: [smirks, he picks up the plates and starts walking to the kitchen]
Demi: [stops him] I will do it.
Joe: No, let me. [goes to the kitchen and starts washing the dishes]
Demi: [smiles]
David: [comes out of the bathroom, he looks at Demi]
Demi: [looks away] Sam's waiting for you in the car.
David: [walks to Demi without thinking and kisses her]
Demi: [opens her eyes wide, she tries to push him away]
David: [holds her tighter]
Demi: [uses all her strength, he finally backs up, then slaps his face]
David: [has his hands in his hair and mumbles to himself] What did I do... Sam... [he quickly leaves the house]
Joe: [see's the part where they kissed] I see how it is.
Demi: No, Joe! [runs to him already tears building up] No!
Joe: [starts walking upstairs]
Demi: [follows him] No, please Joe! Please let me explain!
Joe: [stops and turns around with hurt in his eyes] Explain what? You said you'd be with me. You said nothing was going to happen. Look how that turned out. [continues walking up the stairs, with tears running down his cheeks]
Demi: [stops in the middle of the staircase and drops down, crying]
chapter 55
Joe: [stops to turn his head and sees Demi crying, he felt bad. She did break his heart though. Joe just went to his room]
That afternoon.
Joe: [goes out of his room to see Demi still on the staircase. She has fallen asleep. He smiled at her cuteness but then it faded away after what happened earlier. He slowly went downstairs trying not to wake Demi up, then stops when he's right in front of Demi and leans down. Demi had dry tears on her cheeks. He sighed, then carefully went downstairs trying not to touch Demi and went to get a cup of tea. Two, actually. He made his way back to the staircase to see Demi still asleep. He lays the two mugs on the coffee table in front of the TV, then went up the staircase halfway and leaned down to Demi] Demi? [shakes her lightly]
Demi: [groans]
Joe: [he couldn't help but smile, but then shakes her again] Demi... Wake up...
Demi: [opens her eyes a little]
Joe: Wake up.
Demi: [she sits up and rubs her eyes to feel dry tears on it]
Joe: Cmon. We'll go sit in front of the TV and... And you can explain.
Demi: What? Really?
Joe: [gives a small smiles and nods]
Demi: [hugs him immediately] Thank you Joe!
Joe: Hey... I didn't say I was forgiving you.
Demi: [pulls away and nods] I understand.
Joe: I made some tea. We should drink it now before it gets cold. [stands up, he offers his hand]
Demi: [sighs, she takes his hand and stands up too. She follows Joe to the couch while grabbing a mug. She takes a sip] Mmm..
Joe: So... [after taking a sip, he places the mug back on the coffee table] Care to explain why you would do that to me?
Demi: [places the mug on the coffee table] Joe... You know I would never do that.
Joe: Well... What happened earlier then?
Demi: He kissed me, Joe!
Joe: But it looked like you were enjoying the kiss.
Demi: How am I enjoying the kiss?!
Joe: It just looked like it did.
Demi: Couldn't you see that I was trying to fucking pull away?!
Joe: Listen, Demi---
Demi: No, you listen Joe! You know that I'm loyal! Just because he's my ex boyfriend doesn't mean that I still have feelings for him. You know what? I DON'T have ANY type of feelings for him!
Joe: [looks away]
Demi: I'm tired of screaming, Joe. I'm tired of yelling. I'm tired of all this. It's your choice for who to believe. I thought we both trust each other.
Joe: [he grabs her hand and pulls her in, hugging Demi]
Demi: [has her face in the nape of his neck] I don't like it Joe. I would never do that to you.
Joe: I'm sorry, Dem. I'm sorry for not trusting you. I should've let you explained earlier. I'm sorry, Demi. I'm really sorry. I love you.
Demi: [pulls away] If you love me, you would've let me explain earlier.
Joe: I know... But, how would you think I would react? I just saw my girlfriend kissing her ex.
Demi: Correction. It's "I just saw my girlfriend BEING kissed by her ex".
Joe: Yeah... That. I was angry. I was mad. You have to understand.
Demi: [nods] I would've been mad at you too if I saw Taylor kissing you.
Joe: But that didn't happen, did it?
Demi: But it could've happened.
Joe: [he lifts her chin up and kisses her softly on the lips]
Demi: [closes her eyes, she wraps her arms around his neck]
Joe: [lifts her up and onto his lap, making Demi straddle him. He pulls away and takes her hand, then kisses it. He looks at Demi straight in the eye] I'm sorry.
chapter 56
Demi: You just... You should've trusted me, Joe.
Joe: [hugs her] I know, baby. I know. I was just so angry that I couldn't believe anybody at that time.
Demi: [nods]
Joe: [stands up while Demi has her legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his neck. He starts walking up the stairs and to their bedroom. He lays her down then he joins her]
Demi: What's going to happen to this house?
Joe: [shrugs] Sell it?
Demi: [she caresses his face] You're handsome, Joe.
Joe: [smiles] Want me to prove that you are beautiful?
Demi: I'm not.
Joe: Uh, yes you are?
Demi: [smiles] Well, thank you. [she pecks his lips then turns around, relaxing her head onto the pillows]
Joe: [hugs her waist from behind and pulls her closer to him, laying his chin on her shoulder]
Demi: [giggles]
Joe: [smiles] What?
Demi: It tickles.
Joe: [chuckles, then thinks for a moment] I wonder why that Camilla girl doesn't come here anymore.
Demi: [shrugs]
Joe: It's a good thing though. Let the bitch die.
Demi: Joe!
Joe: What? I don't like her.
Demi: You don't like anybody. Not even Logan.
Joe: That's because I only like you. No, wait. Love. Sorry. [he pecks her cheek]
Demi: [turns pink]
Joe: [smiles]
Demi: [turns her body to him then smirks] You get jealous SO easily.
Joe: What? Pshhhhhhhh.
Demi: Yes? [smirks again]
Joe: I do not!
Demi: Suuuure.
Joe: [frowns] I want you all to myself.
Demi: Huh? I am already yours.
Joe: That means when we get back to LA, you can no longer date Frankie.
Demi: [laughs]
Joe: What?
Demi: [wipes a tear from her eyes from laughing too hard] You are jealous of Frankie?! [laughs more]
Joe: It's not funny.
Demi: [starts slowing down] Oh my god. [laughs a bit more] You crack me up, Joe.
Joe: I don't want you anywhere NEAR your brother-in-law.
Demi: [stops laughing and looks at him] Wait... What? Brother-in-law?
Joe: Brother-in-law?
Demi: Yeah. You said that.
Joe: Really? No I didn't.
Demi: Yes you did. Stop lieing.
Joe: [blushes] I did say that.
Demi: Aww... You already have plans of us getting married.
Joe: [smiles]
Demi: [looks down at her stomach] We didn't go to the doctors today.
Joe: Yeah... I forgot. We'll go tomorrow.
Demi: [nods, she rubs her stomach] Joe... What will our parents think?
Joe: About?
Demi: Our baby.
Joe: We'll just... We'll say it when it's the right time. Just remember, I'll be with you every step of the way.
Demi: [nods] Thanks Joe. I appreciate it.
Joe: [he smiles and pecks her lips] I love you, baby.
Demi: [smiles] Love you too, Joey.
chapter 57
Joe: You know Dem, I'm starting to think that we really should.
Demi: Should... What?
Joe: Uhmm... You know... Get married... [blushes]
Demi: Joe... That is really sweet of you, but, we just started dating.
Joe: Yeah...
Demi: Don't get me wrong! I love you, but, I think we should just slow down a little bit...
Joe: [nods] I'm sorry.
Demi: [smiles] No, don't be. You just keep thinking about it. Don't stop thinking about it.
Joe: [smiles] I think about it every time.
Demi: Well... That's good. [pecks his lips]
Joe: But... When you mean slow down... Does that mean no more sex?
Demi: Yep.
Joe: Seriously?!
Demi: [laughs] Of course not. We can have sex. Just, slow down on the relationship thing.
Joe: [chuckles]
Demi: I still want to go to college.
Joe: Then go.
Demi: Joe... I have a baby to take care off, and maybe, I'll get kicked out of the house too.
Joe: Demi... I'll always be here for you.
Demi: Always?
Joe: Always. I let you explain, didn't I?
Demi: Yeah...
Joe: I love you. I will always be here for you. Remember that.
When it was time for them to move back to LA, Joe sold the house and Jemi both fixed the relationship between David and Sam.
In LA.
Demi: [rings the doorbell]
Eddie: [opens the door]
Demi: [smiles]
Eddie: Demi! [turns his head to face the inside of the house] Dianna! Demi's home!
Dianna: Demi's home?! [runs to the doorway] Demi! [hugs her]
Demi: [laughs] Hey mum.
Dianna: Oh my god. You look beautiful than ever. Your hair...
Demi: Yeah... Joe dyed it. [looks at Joe, fake glaring]
Joe: [smiles innocently]
Eddie: Black suits you, Dem.
Demi: [smiles] Thanks dad.
Dianna: I have to call your parents, Joe!
Joe: Uhmm...
Eddie: They aren't mad.
Joe: Okay. You can call them.
Later on.
Denise: [walks in the room] Joe?
Dianna: He's upstairs.
Eddie: I'll call him. [walks upstairs into Demi's room, he knocks on the door] Joe?
Demi: [opens the door]
Eddie: Your parents are here.
Joe: Well... This is it.
Demi: Don't worry.
Eddie: Cmon. [goes downstairs with Demi following behind him and Joe following behind Demi]
Joe: Where is she?
Eddie: Kitchen.
Joe: [walks to the kitchen] Mum?
Denise: Joe! [runs to Joe and hugs him, letting tears out] I'm sorry, hunny. I'm really sorry!
Joe: [he hugs her back] What for?
Denise: I... I didn't trust you...
Joe: [smiles] It's okay, mum.
Paul: [walks in] It's not okay, son.
Joe: Dad. [he hugs him then pulls away]
Paul: We made you go into an marriage that you truly didn't want.
Joe: It's alright. At least you both trust me now.
Denise: [nods while sobbing]
Joe: Don't cry anymore, mum. [wipes her tears]
Demi: [smiles at them]
chapter 58
Later on.
Joe: Mum? Mrs Garza?
Both: [looks at Joe]
Joe: [looks at Demi]
Demi: [hesitates but nods]
Joe: We need to tell you something.
Dianna: Is it serious?
Demi: Very. Where's dad?
Dianna: He's at the backyard with Joe's dad.
Joe: I'll bring them in. [Goes outside, then after a few minutes, comes back in the living room with two men following him]
Denise: So... What's so important that you had to bring your dad in?
Joe: Just... Settle down first.
Everyone sat down, feeling comfortable.
Demi: [looks at Joe nervously]
Joe: [nods]
Demi: [looks at her parents, then Joe's parents] Uhmm...
Joe: Well... To start off with... Me and Demi are dating.
Paul: What?
Joe: Yep. [holds Demi's hand and interwines with it] I love Demi.
Eddie: You do know love is a strong word, Joe.
Joe: That's exactly why I'm saying it. [looks at Demi]
Demi: [smiles]
Dianna: Yeah... Well... I guess I'm happy for you both.
Demi: So you guys are okay with this?
Denise: Yes, absolutely.
Joe: [smiles]
Demi: But uhmm... There is one little thing too...
Eddie: What is it, Demi?
Joe: Well...
Demi: I'm... [rubs her stomach through her top]
Paul: [looks at her with a confused look] What?
Demi: I'm pregnant.
Silence filled the whole room for a couple of minutes.
Dianna: What?
Demi: I'm pregnant, mum.
Paul: Uhmm...
Denise: Who's the dad?
Demi: [looks at Joe]
Joe: Me.
Eddie: You're the dad of Demi's baby?
Demi: It's our baby, dad.
Dianna: How can you be so stupid?!
Demi: I...
Dianna: You're only 18, Demi! You're pregnant at 18!
Eddie: Hunny, hunny, please calm down.
Denise: How long has it been?
Joe: Uhmm... 3 weeks.
Paul: [has his hands tangled in his hair]
Eddie: Joe... You knew that this will happen anytime soon, right?
Joe: Yeah, but I won't run away like other people from this problem.
Eddie: Are you sure?
Joe: [nods] Positive.
Eddie: Then... I'm okay with this.
Dianna: [looks at him] Are you serious?
Eddie: Yeah.
Demi: Really?
Eddie: If Joe will take--
Joe: I promise I will.
Eddie: I'm good, then.
Paul: Me too... I guess.
chapter 59
Denise: [looks at her husband, then Joe] I don't know what to say.
Dianna: Well I do, you better take care of Demi, Joe.
Joe: I promise I will, Mrs Garza.
Denise: Joe... You have to get married to Demi.
Demi: [looks at Denise] What?
Denise: It's so that people won't think that Demi is pregnant before marriage.
Demi: But I am...
Denise: Exactly. You love Joe, right?
Demi: [nods]
Dianna: I uhmm... This is going too fast.
Denise: But think about it... They won't have a bad image.
Paul: [nods, agreeing] Yeah.
Joe: So... I'm getting married to Demi?
Eddie: Yep. I guess so.
Demi: [smiles]
Joe: [looks at Demi and smiles] Can't this day get anymore better?
Dianna: You both have to get married before the baby is born. Actually, as soon as possible.
Denise: [nods] I'm going to make some phone calls about it. [stands up]
Dianna: I'll help.
Denise: [smiles] Okay.
They both walk out of the living room and to the kitchen.
Paul: So...
Eddie: I never knew that my girl would get married so fast.
Demi: [smiles] I'll still be your daughter. Well... Step daughter... But... I'll still be your daughter.
Eddie: [smiles and nods]
Joe: See dad? Why couldn't I have married Demi instead of Ashley?
Paul: You both were best friends... How would I know?
Joe: Well... We're dating now.
Later on.
Jemi was in Demi's room.
Demi: [sighs happily on the bed] I love this day.
Joe: [smiles] Me too. But... I thought you said we're going too fast on this wedding thing.
Demi: I've thought about it. But Joe... What if we... Uhmm...
Joe: What? You can tell me.
Demi: [sighs] What if we... Don't last long?
Joe: [caresses her hair] Please don't even think about that.
Demi: [nods] I'm sorry.
Joe: [he softly places his lips on hers]
Demi: [pulls away smiling] I missed that.
Joe: [smiles] Same. I love you, so so so much.
Demi: Oh really?
Joe: Duuh.
Demi: [smiles] I want to know how it feels like to be married.
Joe: Well... You will probably like it... Since you're getting married to me. [smirks]
Demi: [laughs] Shut up. I mean it though... How does it feel like?
Joe: [shrugs] How am I supposed to know? We'll feel it when we get married. [smiles]
Demi: [chuckles] Yeah.
chapter 60
Skipping to about 10 years time.
Demi: [watching TV, then looks at the clock for a moment. It was 8 o'clock]
Doorbell rings.
Demi: [gets up and walks to the doorway and opens the door] Hey.
Joe: [smiles] Hello, beautiful. [he walks inside the house and gives her a kiss]
Demi: So... How was work?
Joe: It was tiring. Oh god. My employee's are terrible at working.
Demi: [laughs lightly] Must be hard working as a manager.
Joe: I don't mind. At least, when I get home from all the stress, it fades away.
Demi: And why is that?
Joe: Because... When I see your face... There's not a th--
Demi: Okay okay. Please. No Bruno Mars moment here.
Joe: [chuckles lightly] But seriously. When I see your face, it's heaven.
Demi: [smiles] Awww.
Joe: [smiles] Where's Melanie?
Demi: Upstairs. She won't keep bugging Andrew.
Joe: Do I have to go up there again?
Demi: [sighs] Melanie won't listen to me.
Joe: Cmon. [he holds Demi's hand and works his way upstairs to see both of his children Melanie, who was 6 and Andrew, who was 9, sleeping]
Melanie: [turns her head to see her daddy] Dad! [runs to him]
Joe: [kneels down and smiles, he hugs her] What do I keep telling you every night, Mel?
Melanie: [sighs] To not annoy my brother. I know. But... Mummy won't let me sleep in the same room as Andrew. [she pouts and crosses her arms]
Demi: Sweetie... I keep telling you, Andrew has his own bed now. His bed only fits one person.
Melanie: But still... [a tear escapes down her cheek]
Joe: Melanie... [he picks her up and goes to Melanie's own room while Demi is following behind him. He places Melanie on her bed] You have your own bed.
Melanie: I don't want to sleep alone!
Demi: Why not? You always loved to sleep alone...
Melanie: I can't find Cuppy. [frowns]
Joe: Cuppy? That small stuffed animal dog?
Melanie: It's not JUST a small stuffed animal, dad! It's my dog!
Joe: Yeah, okay. Why didn't you tell mummy or daddy?
Melanie: [frowns] I was afraid you guys will be mad at me because I lost it.
Demi: [sits beside Melanie] We would never be mad at you, sweetie. We can buy a new one.
Melanie: I don't want a new one! I want Cuppy!
Joe: We'll find it, don't worry. If we don't, I'll get you a new one that's similar to Cuppy, okay?
Melanie: [smiles slightly] Okay. Thank you, daddy. [hugs Joe] I love you.
Joe: [smiles and hugs her, then pulls away and kisses her forehead] I love you more. Now, go sleep.
Melanie: Can you and mummy tuck me in?
Demi: [smiles] Of course, sweetheart.
Melanie gets under the covers, being comfortable.
Demi: [pulls the covers up to her chest then hugs Melanie] I love you, Mel. So much. [smiles, she kisses her forehead]
Melanie: Love you too, mummy. [smiles]
Joe: [goes to the doorway with Demi, then looks back at Melanie] Good night.
Melanie: Night mummy and daddy.
Joe: [smiles, he turns off the lights, then walks to his room with Demi]
Demi: You seem really tired, Joe.
Joe: [sighs] I am.
Demi: How about I give you a back massage?
Joe: [looks at her and smiles] WIll you?
Demi: Of course. [smiles, she pecks his lips]
Joe: [pulls her in and kisses her] Mmm...
Demi: [pulls away laughing] Okay, lover boy. Get out of that suit and I'll give you that massage.
Joe: [smirks] Desperate much?
Demi: I don't mean sex, Joe.
Joe: Whatever you say, it means sex to me. [smirks again]
Demi: How about... I just give you a back massage?
Joe: And then... Maybe... Sex after that? [smiles]
Demi: Maybe... [bites her lip]
Joe: Ugh... Don't do that to your lips, Dem.
Demi: [thinks for a moment, then laughs]
Joe: What?
Demi: [shakes her head, smiling] Canada moments.
Joe: [chuckles] Now, we really do live in Canada.
Demi: [smiles] I love you Joe.
Joe: I love you more... [whispers in her ear] After we have sex. [smirks, jokingly]
Demi: [gasps, she hits him lightly]
Joe: [smiles] I'm just kidding. I love you too.
END!
