"Caleb!" I come over to him. "Mom would've found out anyways!" "I don't care! I wanted to tell her! I told you not to tell anybody!" He shrugs. "It'll be fine!" I shake my head. "You know what kind of lecture I'll be in when we get home? One that's hours long! Dad will tell everyone of his friends, mom will tell all of her facebook friends, then she'll take care of the kid more than I can! You know how that'll feel? I want a better life for my child than I had the first few years of my life. I couldn't stand my dad. He beat me, I always thought that I didn't have a purpose until I met Hunter. All of that changed. I didn't want to go there, but I did." Caleb sighs. "But what can I do about it now?" I shake my head, sitting on my bed with my head in my hands. I watch as Isabella walks in. "Your pregnant?" I groan. "Just leave me alone!" I fall down and sigh. A few minutes later I grab something out of my suitcase and go into the bathroom, locking the door. I look in the mirror and take a deep breath, pressing the blade in my skin slightly. I tape the blade under the sink and lean onto the sink, letting the blood drip. I go into my happy place and quickly grab a long sleeved shirt and put it on. I then go out of the bathroom and sit down. I watch as Caleb peeks in through the hotel door. "Nic?" I turn around and head out. "What?" Caleb sighs, running his hand through his hair. "When do we need to get to the concert?" I groan. "S***. We need to be in the line in a half hour." He nods and grabs the other two. I grab my hat out of my suitcase. We rush to the concert and as soon as we get there, of course Hunter helps me out. I peck him on the lips and we hold hands. "We have to go around to the backstage, so we'll meet up later." Caleb and Isabella nod. Hunter and I walk as close to eachother as can be and head towards the backstage. "What are your names?" I smile. "The spots will be under my name, Nic'Kayla." The security guy shakes his head. "Nope. Your not on the list." I watch as Demi walks over. "Ricardo, I completely forgot to add them yesterday! If you can let them in, that would be excellent." He nods. "Come in." Hunter and I head in. "Sorry about that, I was so busy yesterday. So is this the lucky guy?" I nod. "Yup, this is Hunter." Hunter nervously waves. "Babe, she's not gonna bite you or flirt or anything!" He chuckles. "This is why I asked you out." I giggle and peck him on the lips. "Get a room!" Demi says. I chuckle. Demi leads us to the actual backstage. "This is where my band, back up singers, and other people with the backstage pass stay. Each of you will get to be onstage with me." I nod and Hunter leads me up the stairs. We take a seat next to this little girl and her parents. I look at them then look away, the tears swelling in my eyes. "Babe, it's alright." I nod. "I know, I just wish that was me and my parents. The biggest thing they did for me was take me to the park once." He nods, taking my face and facing it at them. "Just think. That could be us in a few years." I smile and giggle. A little while later, their asking people to come up onstage from the backstage pass section. When they get to Hunter he asks if I can come up with him. "Hunter, you dont have to-" He puts his hand out for me and takes me onstage. Demi smiles as soon as she sees us. "So these 2 are Hunter and Nic'Kayla." The staff hand us both microphones. "So tell us about yourselves." I nod. "So I had an abusive past, my dad beat me and my mom, and I'm dating the best guy in the world-" Hunter faces me and kneels down on one knee. The staff take my microphone. "I've known you 5 years now, Nic. Not 1 have I regretted. When we started dating, I knew you were the one. I love how your laughter lightens the room, how you don't even need any makeup, the makeup just expresses your features. So Nic'Kayla Mae Hanna, will you marry me?" I burst into tears and nod, putting my hand out. He stands up and he picks me up, twirling me around. "That's a wrap! Just kidding, aren't they a cute couple?" Everybody cheers. "Those two should really get a room before things get steamy onstage." I giggle. Hunter pecks me on the lips before he goes backstage.
