Niall || Part Four

       In the beginning, I already disliked Joe. I was envious of him and how Demi looked happy when he was with him. Just thinking about it made my chest tighten. Love always seemed to bring a lot of bad emotions along with the good ones.

       Jealousy sucked.

       The thought of having the person you love be with someone else just because you didn’t have the courage to speak up, it sucked. And what’s worse than that? Well, the thought becoming true. Yep, that’s what happened.

       Demi dated Joe again because I couldn’t find the courage to tell her fighting the management was worth it. If I had just man up a little earlier, maybe she wouldn’t have had to go through such things a second time. The only good thing was that Demi was smart and chose to see if they could tryout the relationship away from cameras.

       A very smart move, the breakup could’ve caused controversy really.

To this day, Demi hasn’t told me if she fell in love with him or not, but judging from the hurt in her eyes that day, she must’ve. And you had no idea how glad I was when I could make her smile, after all that.

       This was completely different from the short relationship they had in their ‘Camp Rock days’, need I remind you. This was after that, and the relationship lasted shorter actually. It happened when Demi and I pretty much separated from our own ‘private’ relationship, but nonetheless, it was the most difficult obstacle to overcome.

       Funnily, Demi chose to place that day’s events at the back of her mind.

       She never opened up about it, and chose not to talk about it. It made me think that maybe she was still hanging on to Joe, despite her being my girlfriend. And that’s a reason I chose to put that at the back of my mind as well. She didn’t even explain it to me in full detail.

She simply told me that she made a stupid decision to date Joe again and needed my company.

I did, but I was curious. Maybe a little too curious, but that was her fault. I felt like it was my duty to just sit there and listen, comforting her. I really wanted to just question her though. That definitely took a lot of self-control.

“Well, that’s another interview done!” one of the boys announced, I was too busy slouching grumpily to check who.

Startled by the sudden slap on my back, I yelped, “Ow!” I turned to see Liam, and he asked why I looked so horribly stressed. Reminds me, I needed to ask Liam for a few more ideas on planning the whole date. “Jonas.” I state simply.

He looked around, and once spotting Joe, nodded at me, understanding immediately. I already told the boys, accidentally. I don’t even understand why, I just blurt it out like a wuss. “It’s in the past—”

“He still did it again!” I interrupted, a bit too loudly.

And it led to Joe quickly noticing me, he flinched meeting my glare. I didn’t back down, and in fact, it started to become a stare-down.
