Story Here!

Demi slowly closed her phone. She took a deep sigh before a small tear fell from her eye. She wanted him back. She wanted to hear his voice, one last time. That's why she had called. She knew it would go to voice mail, but she just had to hear him.
Demi always thought about him. There was never a moment when her mind was not on Joe. She wished he wouldn't stay in her mind. He was gone, end of story. They no longer loved each other; at least, that's what they said on that cold February night.

More tears slid down Demi's cheeks. She closed her eyes tightly and thought back to times she and Nick were happy. When they were in love;
"Joe! Stop!" Demi laughed as Joe chased her around the park. He finally caught her in his arms and turned her around. She stared deeply into his brown eyes. She knew she was in love. Joe quickly put his lips to hers, kissing her passionately. That kiss, made Demi know they would be together forever. Unfortunately, she was wrong.
Demi's eyes opened, shooing the memory away. Why was she doing this to herself? She's free now, she's single. It seemed as if all she ever does is sit in her room and mope about Joe. She couldn't help it, she missed him so much. But he didn't feel the same way she did.

Joe had broken Demi's heart. Sure, she had had boyfriends before him. And yes, they didn't work out. When she was 16, after Trace had broken her heart, she said she would never love anyone again. That was until Joe cam around. He made her so happy; when she was with him she would forget everything that was wrong. But now she finally realized that Trace's heartbreak was nowhere near to the pain Joe has caused. She still loves him.
Demi's friends try to get her to see other guys. They say that there are 'plenty of other fish in the sea'. But Demi just doesn't get the point. She doesn't want anyone else, she wants Joe. Every single day, it gets harder for Demi to get herself out of bed. It gets harder for her do anything.

Finally, Demi couldn't take the pain anymore. She had to know why Joe didn't love her. She wiped the tears from her eyes and got out of her bed. She left her apartment the way she was; in her pajamas and her hair in a messy bun. The chilly March air surprised her, for the past month she had been hidden under her warm covers. But she was determined to get to Joe, no matter how cold it was outside.
She finally made it to his apartment complex. She walked up the stairs she and Joe had walked up so many times together before. She came to a door, Room 245. She took a deep breath before she knocked on the door.
A man with short, yet messy, black hair opened the door. He was dressed in a t-shirt and sweatpants with black glasses around his eyes. He looked at Demi standing at his door before he spoke.
"Demi? Wh-what are you doing here?"
Demi pushed her way past Joe into his room. Tears began to fall down her cheeks before she was even able to speak; she finally faced Joe,
"Why did you leave me?" Demi's voice shook from her crying.
"Demi..." Joe sighed
"You said you loved me. You said you'd never leave me. I thought you weren't going to break my heart like Trace did. But you hurt it worse." Demi cried harder.
"Demi, the truth is,"
"What, Joe? You never loved me? If you never loved me, why did you put me through all that pain?" Demi stared at Joe and he stared right back at her. There were a few seconds of silence before Joe ran up to Demi and kissed her.
"I never stopped loving you." Joe confessed quietly after their kiss.
"Then why did you break up with me?" Demi stared at her feet; she couldn't look Joe in the eyes.
"Because," Joe lifted Demi's head up, "I didn't think I was good enough for you."
"How could you think that? Joe, you're amazing. You know how to make me laugh when I'm sad; you'll run over to be with me whenever I need you. You're perfect." And for the first time in a month, Demi smiled.
