Alex's POV
I run after Demi but she locks herself in her room and I can hear her sobbing loudly I don't know what's going on but I know I had to get in there fast because I didn't want her hurting herself. I hear the drawer shut and my thoughts ran through my head "Is she going to do what I think she's going to do." I said to myself I back up a few feet and say.
"Demi stand back!"
I run and I crash into the door falling on the floor I see Demi holding a blade I began to panic
"Demi don't!"
I grab the blade from her hands and throw it on the floor and I look into her eyes and I notice that her pupils are huge and I check her wrists and nothing I look at her again and she's looking at the drawer and back at me I look over at her drawer and a white line of powder was on it I look over at Demi and she's still sobbing and I say trying hard not to believe what I just witnessed she was snorting cocaine.
"Demi did you...?" Do you...have a drug problem?"
she's quite for a second and she looks into my eyes and begins to sob and she says
"Yes! I don't know how to stop! I have a problem that I can't control! it's the urges and all the voices!
I couldn't believe it all these questions kept running through my head and I didn't realize that I was silent for almost 2 minutes till Demi held my hands and said
"Alex please say something.!"
"How long...and why.?" I said trying to hold back my tears
"I've been using it on and off since college." she says looking down
"You've been doing this shit for 3 years! Demi if you don't get help you're going to fucking die.!" I said on the verge of letting all my tears fall and I asked her one more thing hoping that my heart won't shatter if she tells me the truth.
"Demi.?"
She looks up staring into my eyes and I hold her and she says with her voice breaking
"Yes.?" she said
"Have you been doing this ever since we've been together or during our entire relationship.?"
she looks down and begins sobbing uncontrollably again and that's when I knew my answer.
I get up and I walk towards the doorway and I tried to hide my tears but I failed they were falling hard and I feel Demi holding onto my waist from behind I look at her and pull away and walk towards the drawer and say
"Is this all you have or is there more.?" I said
she's quiet for a moment and she nods her head and says
"Yes..." in a weak voice
I grab the bag and I hold it up and say
"Kiss this shit goodbye because you're done with it." I said
I walk inside the bathroom and I hear footsteps and Demi tries to take the bag from me but I drop it in the toilet and flush it she holds onto me and she I hold onto her and she falls on her knees sobbing
"I'm sorry baby! I'm...sorry!" she says
I had tears in my eyes and I move her hair away from her eyes and stare deeply into her eyes and said
"Demi it's okay now look I'm here okay I'm always here." I said
Demi's POV
I hold onto Alex like if my life depended on it she brushes my hair out of my eyes and says
"Demi it's okay now look I'm here okay I'm always here."
I had so much pain inside me there was more I wanted to tell her just to let it all out but I'm afraid she'll leave me for good I ask her
"Alex tell me..."
"What is it.?" she said in a whispering tone
"Tell me why you're still with me after all this bullshit I've put you through why did you choose to stay with me and be with me.?"
she smiles but it's a weak smile and she stares into my eyes again and she says
"I'm still with you because I've never felt this way about anyone before I never felt this in love and I don't care about what you did or what you've done no matter what I'll always love you and our love is strong if you look back at all the shit we've been through we fought and we conquered and we made it out alive your struggles are my struggles and I'll never leave you Demi that would never be a option for me." she said
I wrap my arms around her neck and kiss her gently I hug her and I knew I had to tell her about Jeremy .
"There's one more thing I want you to know." I said
"What is it Demi.?" Alex said
"I...Have....I have a...son." I managed to say
"You...you what.?" she said
"I know I should've told you sooner but I didn't know how."
she get's up from the bathroom floor and she walks out of the bathroom and heads for the living room I run after her
"Alex! Please Say Something!" I shouted
"What do you want me to say! How do you have a son.? why did you keep from this from me how and when was he born why didn't you tell me about him! Oh my god!" she said as I heard her voice breaking
"I was 18 and it was before I met Jasmine and I was with a group of friends and I was drunk and one thing led to another and I ended up pregnant with my best friends baby we decided to give him up for adoption when he was born his dad and I picked the name and we...we gave him to a adoption agency."
"Why....Why! oh my god does your family know or were they lying to me too!" she said
"It was a stupid mistake not to tell you before and no they never knew I managed to hide it we... we both did"
"Who's we.? who's the father of the baby!?!" she said
I bite my lip trying hard to sob harder than before and I said in a quiet voice and I put my head down and said
"Wilmer...."
I see the disbelief in her eyes and she puts her arms over her head and she bites her lip and she walks up to me and hugs me and walks away I run after her and I say
"Is that it are we over please Alex don't end what we have I said."
she turns around and the sun shines on her face and she says
"No...I'm not leaving you...... I made that promise that I wouldn't but right now there's something I have to do something I have to do for us don't worry because I'm not leaving you...but for right now I need this to sink in...I'll see you later." she says
she kisses me on the cheek and heads home I sit on my porch feeling the tears fall from my face
Alex's POV
When Demi told me about her son Jeremy I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and when she told me who the father was I was beyond furious Wilmer is my mentor since I'm going to college to learn about criminal justice and he's helping me with the basics of what I have to know and knowing that he knew he had a kid with Demi and still lied to me about it made me upset with him and Demi. After I walk home I still see Demi sobbing on her porch I still love her the same that part of me hasn't changed but I knew I had to find him and bring him back to her I barley had any info on him but I knew he had to be around the age of 3 or 2 years old I call Jennifer since her mom is a private detective and Jen owed me and I knew her mom would be the right one to call
"Hello.?" said Jennifer
"Hey it's me I need a favor.?"
"Sure what's up.?"
"Can your mom find someone for me.?" I said
"Who do you want to find.?" she said
I sigh I knew I had to be honest on who I was looking for and I said
"Jeremy Valderama he has to be 2 or 3 years old he was born in Los Angeles C.A around 2011 or early 2012 he may also be named Jeremy Lovato I don't know that's all the information I have right now." I said
"Jeremy Lovato.? is he Demi's brother or something.?" she said
"No...he's Demi's son." I said
"She has a kid!." she said
"This stays between us and yeah she does." I said
"Who's the dad oh wait nevermind guessing by the first last name you gave me I'm guessing Wilmer.?" she said
"Yeah he is she told me today and I knew I had to find him because I know deep down inside she misses him."
"Okay I gave all the information to my mom she said she'll look into it and get back to you and hey one last thing." she said
"What is it.?" I said
"If you do find him and give him back to Demi would you be happy to be his mom.?"
"Jennifer don't say if I find him I WILL find him and when he's in Demi's arms I will consider him my son as well I'll raise him like my own and always be there for him like I've been with Demi he's going to be a big part of my life and I'll love him for the rest of my life and when I have kids of my own I know he's going to be a terrific big brother to my kids no matter how far he is I'll bring him back here and give him the life he deserves." I said
"Wow....that's amazing Alex he's lucky to have parents like you two." she said
"Yeah hey I'll talk to you later okay love you Jen thanks for everything." I said
"Anything for my best friend love you too Alex bye." she said
We hang up and I look outside on my balcony and look up at the moon and say
"Jeremy wherever you are I promise to give you the life you never had I'll give you and your mom the life you deserve because even though you're not my biological son I'll treat you as my own because I know you're going to make a great impact on my life I love you baby boy and I promise to bring you back to your mom soon.....I promise you that." I said
