Much Better | Chapter 2 | One Year Anniversary.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I jolted up my bed and looked around, breathing heavily. Then I calmed down when I realized the sound was from my alarm clock. But I know that I didnt set the sound THAT loud...And theres only one way...Oh no, he did not! I'm gonna kill that jerk.
"ZACHARY!" I shouted, storming out of my room, not realizing what I was wearing. [Demi's PJ's] I ran down the stairs and into the living room, seeing a figure sitting by the couch. "Zachary David Alexander Efr---" I stopped myself when I saw who it was. He turned to look at me, then his eyes widened. I giggled.
"Hey, Dem." Joe said, biting his lower lip, his eyes scanning me from head to toe, smiling.
"What are you doing here, Joseph?" I asked, looking around. Zac was not getting away with this.
"I'm here to ask you who the hell that guy was from yesterday." Joe said, calmly. I raised my eyebrows at him.
"That's none of your business," I said, sitting down next to him. Why did he need to know who Taylor was? I smiled as I remember what happened after we kissed. He gave me his number and I gave him mine. I started smiling bigger when I remembered him asking me out on a date.
"Why are you smiling?" Joe asked me, waving a hand infront of my face. I slapped in away.
"I have to go shopping, I need something to wear. I'm going on a date tonight!" I said, excited. But not that excited considering the love of my life wasnt the one to accompany me on that date. I turned my head to look at Joe and he was quiet, looking down at his hands. "What's wrong?" I asked, worried. I still loved him, you know...
He looked up at me and shook his head, smiling. But being his best friend for 5 years, and dating him for 2, then back to being just his best friend 8 months, I've learned to know when he fakes a smile or when he flashed a real one. And this one, was far from real.
"Please, tell me?" I pleaded. I hated seeing him like this. Before when he was upset I would just kiss him and he'd feel better but I can't do that anymore...even though I still want to.
"It's nothing, Dem. I promise." He said, cracking a crocked smile at me. I sighed knowing something was bothering him. But I knew he didnt wanna talk about it, so I let it go.
Then suddenly the front door burst open and Zac walks in with a girl, laughing. I smiled getting up and hugging her, my best friend and Joe's sister.
"Hey, V." I said, sitting back down next to Joe.
"Hey, girly." She said, back, before Zac dragged her up to his room to do god knows what.
"I'm planning my revenge for what you did this morning, Zachary!" I shouted at him just before I heard his door slam shut. Joe chuckled beside me and I giggled.
"Jay Jay...?" I said innecontly after a moment of silence.
"What do you want, Dem?" He asked, turning to look at me, his left eyebrow raised.
I pouted, "Zac is gonna keep V in his room for the rest of the day, and Sel is in Spain...Your the only one that can help me with this...!" I said, and I think he got what I meant. Because he jumped off the couch and started walking towards the door.
"I'm very busy today...I, uhh, need to help...Nick with...cooking...Yeah..that," He said.
I jumped after him and dragged him up to my room, pushing him down on my bed. I pointed a finger at him, "I'm going shopping and your coming with me. Now stay there, I'll be right back." I said, walking over to my closet and taking out some clothes then rushing into the bathroom, so much do to, so little time. If I want to get over Joe, I need to move on to another guy. It's the only way.
I finished changing and walked out to see Joe staring at something. "Joe?" I whispered.
He snapped out of whatever trance he was in and then looked at me up and down [Demi's Outfit]. He chuckled when he saw which shoes I was wearing.
"Love your shoes." He commented. I rolled my eyes and walked over to him.
"You gave me those as our--" I stopped myself. I was about to say, One Year Anniversary, but I didn't. I cleared my throat. "You love them 'cause you gave me those." I said. Then I dragged him out to his car, since I couldn't drive mine yet.
"Why do I need to go with you? I'm a guy!" Joe whined as he started the car, driving towards the mall.
I poked his cheek, "Your my best friend. And I have a date, so I need my best friends help. Now shut up and drive. And turn the music on." I told him. He turned the radio on and the song, 'Shut Up and Drive' by Rihanna came on. I looked at Joe and he glanced at me quickly before focusing on the road. We were quiet for a few seconds, then we burst out laughing.
"Wow.." We both said, which made us laugh more.
