Demi felt in that moment that he was much more mature than most of the 8th grade boys in their school. “Yeah, well I haven’t had a chance to talk with Zaine about it. He unfortunately transferred schools the next day. I did get a note from him so I guess were going to do a long-distance type deal.”
“That doesn’t sound terribly bad.”
“Maybe. I know where he lives and I got his phone number. But again, not sure. But why would you say that?”
She walked in the classroom ahead of him. He followed behind her answering her question. “Well, I think you’re a beautiful person inside and out. I don’t think you’re a brat as you say.”
“Thanks James but I am. You’d know that if we started dating.”
“Then why don’t we?”
Demi stopped just before she got to her seat and looked at him funny. “Uh did you mean that or are you pulling

Zaine waited for her to say what was on her mind. Demi fidgeted under his gaze. “Well, what?”“Well, if I’m honest I do have another boyfriend. He knows about you and I was just asked about by another guy and again he knows about you and the other boyfriend.” She started to ramble hoping he would understand why she did this. “I didn’t want Michelle to make mines or your life worse. I know you told her you don’t like her but you gotta understand she’s been getting her way all of her life. Do you realize what that does to someone? When they finally get told no? I mean she could become unhinged plus she really doesn’t like me. I’m just basically a servant to her. And I just want to live peacefully until she graduates but that’s not a guarantee either…”Zaine placed his finger to her lips. He shushed her. “Shh, listen. I get it. I’m not happy about it but I get it. do you know

James was the first one to ask her about the teacher. “What did he say to you?”Demi rolled her eyes not wanting to talk about it but Braden nudged her on the shoulder. “Come on tell us. If he asked you out too then you need to report him.”She looked at him disgusted, then shook her head. “No, he didn’t do that. He basically knew I was flirting with you both and then had told me in so many words that girls like me turn to hookers.”James actually gasped aloud at what she had said. “You should report him. It may not be sexual harassment but he really should learn to talk to students.”Demi waved her hand hoping to dismiss it. “Its fine. We just need to pay attention in class that’s all.”Braden didn’t like how she was letting it go. He wanted to talk to the teacher about it and the principal. “You really shouldn’t. who’s to say he hasn’t made some

The weekend came and Demi sighed in relief. Her mom had taken the place next to Victoria and her mom. They moved once more but this time it was taken care of by a moving company rather than she do it. The girls seemed to feel as if they could breathe more, Demi more so than anyone else. Instead of getting in the way she headed off to the park to meet Zaine. “Mama, I’m going to the park.” Her mother ducked her head out of the house. “Sure, just be back before the streetlights come on.” Demi was almost out of the open door when Melanie and Madison came running up to her. “Can we come too?” “Nope, stay with mama.” They both gave her twin puppy eyes; it was different how Melanie treated her versus when she was around Michelle. “Please? Pretty, pretty please?” “But I wanted to go walk around before I go to the park. Besides you’re only like 7, your legs aren’t as developed as mines so you’ll get tired and whine and then want to come back ho

Zaine looked at her as if she had several heads. “That’s funny to you?” “No, its not. It’s just that she now gets to see how miserable I was. I mean I’m sure our dad is just a prick but that was the only man I ever had any interactions within my entire life. He sucked. And I mean he sucked so horribly bad that I really am scared and wanted to die.” They were on a pathway heading towards the river. “I’m glad you didn’t die.” “Hmm? Why?” “If you had died, I feel like I would have missed out on the best person that ever could have walked into my life.” “I feel like that’s a lie but it’s a really sweet lie.” “No lie. Honestly Demi I feel like I’m meant to be with you. If that means I have to share you for a time until you see just how serious I am for you then I guess I’ll have to do that.” She stopped walking and stared at him. Her eyes were narrowed into slits thinking he was just saying what he thought sounded good. His words se

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

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
