-------------------------------------------------------- “I don’t believe you, Joe wouldn’t kill a boy even if I didn’t know him before he changed.” Demi insisted looking between them. They laughed. “We’re just joking; Joe may have been in a gang but he is a good guy at heart. He just chose the wrong crowd. He didn’t do anything but buy a gun and get on a plane.” Demi rolled her eyes at the two guys in front of her. “Please don’t say something that isn’t true, I’ve had a hard couple of weeks and I really just want to get out of here preferably with Joe.” Demi stated trying not to sound rude but the men in front of her were already irritating her. She didn’t understand how Joe could have ever been friends with them but she knew they were right when they said he was a good man. “So basically you want us to speak the truth?” Ryder inquired Demi nodding her head. “Joe is an old friend and we’ll be willing to do it.” Luke stated. “But what’s in it for us?” Demi looked at them both again, they just laughed at her expression. “We aren’t just going to do it for nothing.” “So Joe is an old friend but you won’t even help him get out of prison for something he didn’t do without something in return?” Demi questioned disgusted. “Look this time last week I had my mother, now I’ve lost my mother and I want to bury her at home and go to college and make something of my life and not just live on whatever you guys do. But if you’re not willing to help me out then whatever, I just thought you’d be better friends than that towards Joe.” Demi got up and left the restaurant not bothering to finish her coffee off. She only let the tears fall when she was in a taxi on the way home, she wanted everything to go her way for once. Demi spent the next couple of weeks working on other ways to get Joe out of prison but she was sure there weren’t any other ways. She just had to keep trying and not give up on Joe who was relying on her, she was hoping to get it done before his family visited the next time so they wouldn’t because Joe would already be there with them. Demi sighed lifting Maddison up from the bed after she fastened her baby grow keeping her in her arms. “Things are so complicated Maddison but you, you can just chill and not have to worry about anything. Me I’m trying to get a man out of prison that I could possibly love,” Demi breathed kissing her forehead gently. Eddie had been doing well with Maddison but Demi often took her to give him some time to himself, it was starting to hit him that his wife was really gone and Demi wanted to leave him to mourn a bit. Demi stood up laying Maddie in the bassinette she had in her room for when she took her for the night, she had been for the past couple of nights wanting her father to rest up as much as he could. “Demi thinks daddy is cooking something yummy, can you smell that.” She cooed bringing the thin blanket up her body before she grabbed the baby monitor switching it on leaving it on the side taking the other one. She left the room shutting her door behind her so Maddie wouldn’t be disturbed making her way downstairs. “How are you doing dad?” “I’m okay,” Eddie breathed stirring the sauce he had made for the pasta. “Can you lay the table?” Demi leaned up kissing his cheek gently before grabbing two placemats laying them down on the table putting a fork and a spoon either side. She tried to help her dad out as much as she could knowing he was trying to run the whole house by himself. He was doing work here that was being sent over email. He only had an office job as it was and would be transferred to a branch in Jersey when they moved back there. “I’ll get it!” Demi called when she heard the doorbell echo throughout the house. She wondered over to the door opening it. Her eyes widened when she saw who she did in front of her. “Joe?” “I’m out.” He breathed before he crashed his lips onto Demi’s, she was taken aback slightly but it didn’t take long for her to kiss him back. ------------------------------------------------------- I know it may seem a little rushed but I was getting bored and I just want to move onto the next part of the story haha! I'll post tomorrow morning if I have at least four comments!
