Aftermath
CHAPTER ONE - THE BREAK-UP
Demi felt like she couldn't breathe. Joe Jonas had come to her hotel room at one of their
South American tour and broke up with her.
"Demi, you did nothing wrong. There is no other girl just so you know. I just don't feel
the same way about you like I did. I don't want to string you along and upset you more than
I already am."
Demi had to take a few shaky breaths before she could speak. "How is this going to work?
Right now, I can barely look at you without bursting into tears! If we could cancel the next
concert so we could all get some time to ourselves then I will be able to get it together. I
still love and respect you enough to not pull out of the tour. I will be professional and so
will you..."
Joe nodded and stepped a bit closer to her and Demi took a step back
"Yes, that can happen. We will work it out so that we won't have to sing together very much
at least until we are both comfortable. I won't let anyone think that they have to pick a side.
There are no sides. I will go back to my room now, we both need some time to ourselves. Before I
do that, I will talk quickly to our managers. They might not like it but we make them and the
record companies a lot of money."
With one last look at Demi, Joe turned and walked out of her hotel room.
Demi stared at the door for a few more minutes before she wandered over to her bed and collapsed
onto the Egyptian cotton blankets. She began to sob hard. Her relationship with Joe flashed before
her eyes and as it did a song that both she and her mom loved began to play.
(Must have been love...
But it's over now.)
Lay a whisper
On my pillow
Leave the winter
On the ground
I wake up lonely
There's air of silence
In the bedroom
And all around
(All around)
Touch me now, I close my eyes
And dream away.
It must have been love
But it's over now
It must have been good
But I lost it somehow
It must have been love
But it's over now
From the moment we touched
'Til the time had run out.
Make-believing
We're together
That I'm sheltered
By your heart
But in and outside
I've turned to water
Like a teardrop
In your palm
And it's a hard
Winter's day
I dream away.
It must have been love
(Must have been love)
But it's over now
(But it's over now)
It was all that I wanted
Now I'm living without
It must have been love
(Must have been love)
But it's over now
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows.
It must have been love
(Must have been love)
But it's over now
(But it's over now)
It must have been good
But I lost it somehow
It must have been love
(Must have been love)
But it's over now
(But it's over now)
From the moment we touched
'Til the time had run out.
Yeah
It must have been love
(It must have been love)
But it's over now
(But it's over now)
It was all that I wanted
Now I'm living without
It must have been love
But it's over now
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows.
Oh
It must have been love
But it's over now
(But it's over now)
(But it's over now)
Now I'm all alone
(It must have been love)
It must have been love
(But it's over now)
But it's over now
Now I'm all alone...
'Heartbreak really sucks,' Demi thought after the song and flashback was over.
'But I'm not going to let this destroy me or stop this tour. I got friends, family and
a few more days to put myself together. Now what I need is to fly my girlfriends here
so I can have some comfort. Its good that I had my manager organize having a counsellor
come on the tour so that I can have some help handling the stress, fame and other stuff.
This is one more thing that I will have some help in!'
Fifteen minutes later, Demi fell into sleep with tears drying on her cheeks.
-END CHAPTER
Author's note: That lovely song was 'It must have been Love' by Roxette. Now I don't
know what was going thru Demi's mind when she and Joe Jonas broke up. I wanted to show
more of her strength. I wanted to have both parties to have some time before the next show
to put themselves back will continue to have her issues but she will have help
with this counsellor that I'm bringing in. Life is never easy especially for Demi. Life goes
on and is too beautiful to spend it in despair. Live life to its fullest and think of all the
good things you still have instead of all the bad stuff. You will still have that bad stuff in
mind and never forget but never let it take over your whole being. I have a few more chapters in
mind. Please let me know if there is anything you want me to write/include. Your reviews are
important to me and an excellent motivator to write the next chapter!
