They walked back together. it was quiet as they headed up the trail. Zaine was the first one to do something. He placed his hand on her shoulder. Demi looked up at him. “You’re weird.”
“Why? Cause I put my arm around your shoulder?”
“No, just was thinking that most people would be upset that they being cheated on and have to share their girl or whatever.”
“If I’m honest. I don’t like it but I get it. besides I’m not of this earth.”
“What are you an alien?”
“Yeah, on my planet we not like the typical earth male.”
She looked at him seeing his serious face, she burst out laughing. “You’re funny.”
Zaine shrugged his shoulders. “But you feel better, don’t you?”
“Yeah, I do. I doubt I’ll be with Braden or James for long. They seem nice but you know.”
He wasn’t sure what she meant but didn’t say anything. they were kids and shouldn’t be thinking about forever at the moment.
The two of them were just passing by
“What’s wrong?” The woman took the chance the chance to start sniffling and crying. “She raised her hand to me.” Demi looked at the woman with furrowed eyebrows. “Are you kidding me?” her hand was still on her cheek. “You freaking hit me!” Mitchel didn’t want to hear anything else from her. He raised his hand and slapped her across the other cheek. “Shut up. She’s your new mom. So, you’ll listen to her and do as she say.” Tears welled in her eyes. She knew her dad was a cruel man but she never thought he would force his mistress down their throat as their parent. She wanted to leave. Knew that she desperately needed to get out of there. Michelle lowered her head. She refused to make eye contact with Demi. Michelle got a taste of how vindictive this girl was in her short time of staying back in her old house. She couldn’t even get her old room back. That was now the room for the baby. Demi turned her back on them about to escape through the bac
Delanie pulled her into the house. The anger she had from the conversation with their father was boiling over. Demi cowered behind the door while her mother stomped outside to give the men a piece of her mind. “You filthy son of bitches you have no right to follow my daughter and terrorize her.” Before she was able to get closer the car sped away. Delanie walked back towards the house with her arms against her chest. Once she was in reach of Demi, she pulled her in for a hug. Demi finally felt comforted and let the emotions seep out of her. “Mom, don’t make me go back there ever.” Delanie rubbed the back of her head and kissed her forehead. “You won’t have to.” The two of them went back inside of Maxine’s home. Victoria walked over to her while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Demi ran to her and hugged her tightly. The two girls headed into her room while Delanie made a call to Mitchell. His phone rang a few times before going to voicemail. While D
It had been a few months since Zaine and Demi started dating. In that period her relationships with Braden and James fizzled out. She had dated a few other guys during that time but continued to have a stronger connection with Zaine. He never asserted himself when it came to her. She was able to do as she please, searching for a way to dull the pain she was feeling from her parents’ divorce. Demi had sent a message to Zaine to meet her at the park for an important conversation. The lease on their home was almost up and the divorce was just about settled. She was sitting on a swing when he came up behind her and covered her eyes. “Guess who?” He could feel the smile forming on her face. “Zaine! Why did you have to cover my eyes?” She started to feel his hands moving towards her back, giving her a gentle push. They had been together almost two years at this time. He wanted to do something special with her. “I wanted to that’s why.” “You’re silly. I need

How did it come to this? She looked in the mirror, seeing the grimace on her reflection. Her heart torn in pieces because of what happened. Victoria, her long-time friend came to pat her own the shoulders. There were no words that needed to be exchanged. The two of them had been friends since their elementary school days. They knew what the other was thinking without having to say it. Demi leaned her head against her shoulder staring at their reflection. A decision needed to be made. It had to be made but why was it so hard when all she really wanted to do was love and be loved in return.She thought about the two men in question, Zaine her first love. A guy that she was inherently horrible to. Even as a young teen she couldn’t recognize the signs at the time but now that she was older. She knew her way to self-love was harmful to those around her. Yet he continued to love her for all that she was. At the time she thought that made him weak. Told him as much to hurt him
It was summertime, the start of eight grade was on the horizon. Victoria came over to check on her best friend Demi. The two girls had been best friends since the third grade. Victoria knocked on the door to see Michelle open the door. “Heyo big sis, is my bestie here?”Michelle stood in the doorway with her arms folded across her chest. She was the more beautiful sibling between the four of them. Demi’s older sister, the one that received majority of the attention from her mom. Michelle rolled her eyes at Victoria before moving to the side. “She’s in her room. Don’t stay too long, we have places to go in an hour or so.”Victoria ignored her, they always had to go places when it came to Michelle needing things. She was just a couple years older than demi. Victoria headed straight to the back of the house and turned right. There Demi was in her room looking out the window with a dazed look in her eyes. Victoria went to sit next
Kieran knew she would be hard to placate when she was upset like this. He still went in to hug her. She was stiff in his arms. When he released her from his grasp he got on his knees. “Can you ever forgive me? I’m trying to keep my jealousy in check but how can I when you’re so gorgeous and precious?” Demi followed her family into their Volvo. It was the latest model but she hated it. Mostly because she had to be the one to sit in the very back, aka the trunk. Michelle always sat in the seat right behind their father. Her little sister Miami would sit behind their mother. Her twin sisters Madison and Melanie were too young to be in the middle seats they always had the back. Her parents could afford a better car, they just choose not to. Demi climbed in the trunk to take her seat. She knew it was going to be an uncomfortable ride. When Michelle wanted to go out, they indulged her. She always wanted to go shopping. The rule always applied to her; the middle child is the forgot
They ended up spending several hours in the mall. They didn’t leave until nearly closing time. Michelle managed to bilk her parents for hundreds of dollars. The twins even managed to get in a couple hundred dollars each. Demi wanted to be upset by how her parents don’t bat an eyelash when spending so much money on her siblings but would him and haw over her wanting things she needed, such as feminine hygiene products or things that were necessary, like bras and underwear. By the time they had gotten all the bags in the car Demi, barely had room in the cramped trunk. They pulled off and headed home until Michelle spoke up. “Daddy, we haven’t had anything to eat. Stop at McDonald’s or Burger King. Please?” “Sure thing Pumpkin. I’ll get you all something to eat.” Hearing that made Demi feel as if they wouldn’t forget her this time. That gave her reason to smile. They pulled into the drive-thru and he placed their order. Unfortunately, they did it again. Instead
