Part 1 (M:9/10)
Joe Jonas was a popular guy. He had the whole package. Good looks, money and lots of friends. But something was missing. A heart. Joe felt superior and he was really mean with people he didn't like. Graduation happened and he was ready for a hot party.
Girl: Hey.
Joe: Do I know you?
Girl: No. I know it's late but maybe you can come to my party?
Joe: You mean, with you?
Girl: Yeah.
Joe started to laugh.
Girl: What's so funny?
Joe: That you think I would go to your lame party with you. You're too ugly to be seen with me. I'm going to a hot party and I'll probably meet a hot chick.
Girl: You're such a jerk.
Joe: Maybe but I have beauty and that's what matter *he walked away*
Girl: No one will ever love you!
Joe heard her but shrugged it off.
~Later~
Joe was at the party. Lots of sexy girls. He didn't know which one to choose for a hook up. One caught his eye. She was almost glowing. She motioned him to follow her. He smirked and did as told. They went in the garden.
Joe: What's your name, cutie?
Girl That doesn't matter. I'm here to punish you.
Joe: Interesting.
Girl: Not in the way you want. I'm a witch.
Joe: Is this a roleplay?
Witch: No. I looked in your heart, Joe.
Joe: And?
Witch: It's dry and empty.
Joe: So? I still have my looks.
Witch: But what if you don't have them?
Joe: I'll always have them.
Witch: Wanna bet? *she lifted her hand that was now almost brighter than the sun*
The light hit Joe and he closed his eyes.
Witch: You can look at yourself.
Joe: *he opened his eyes* What?
The witch pointed at a fountain. Joe went there and looked at his reflection in the water.

Joe: What happened to me?!
Witch: This is your inner beauty.
Joe: Give me my looks back!
Witch: No.
Joe: Why?!
Witch: You need to learn a lesson.
Joe: What?
Witch: Find love. You have till you turn 21.
Joe: I don't understand.
Witch: You have to love a girl and she has to love you back. If you don't succeed when you reach 21, you'll stay like that all your life.
Joe: I...
Witch: Good luck *she disappeared*
Joe slammed the water. This "mission" was impossible with the way he looked now.

Part 2
~3 years later, a month before Joe's birthday~
Demi went back in the small condo she was sharing with her mom. Demi took classes in the evening because they couldn't afford to send her to college. Her mom was laying on the couch.
Demi: Mom, are you ok?
Demi's mom: I'm fine, just a little tired.
Demi: You work too much.
Demi's mom: I don't have a choice.
Demi: I can help you.
Demi's mom: You already have a job.
Demi: I got fired.
Demi's mom: What? Why?
Demi: They said I wasn't good enough.
Demi's mom: This isn't fair.
Demi: Please let me replace you.
Demi's mom: I don't know if he will agree.
Demi: A maid is a maid. Mr Jonas can't be that bad.
Demi's mom: I actually don't know.
Demi: What do you mean?
Demi's mom: Well, I've worked for him for 3 years now and I never saw his face.
Demi: Weird.
Demi's mom: I'm used to it.
Demi: I can replace you.
Demi's mom: I guess.
Demi: Starting tomorrow.
~The next day~
Joe looked through the window of his condo. It was a graduation present from his parents. He didn't think he would be stuck here but he was scared of going outside. As soon as he was transformed into a beast, he ran there. 3 years from now. He was supposed to go to NYU. He didn't dare and asked his parents to be college homeschooled, pretending it was too much pressure for him. They accepted without seeing his new face. At first, it was hard to be all alone except for the maid he hired. Then he got used to be with himself. He never had the guts to look for the girl able to break the spell he was under. His birthday would be in a month. His 21st, the due date. He thought it didn't matter anymore if he looked the way he did. He would be single all his life. Not a nice idea but he thought he was doomed anyway. He looked at his watch. The maid would be here any minute. He heard the door opening.
???: Hello?
Joe frowned. She was never talking and this voice sounded pretty young. He quietly went closer without showing himself. He took a glance. It was a young girl. She was beautiful, he thought.
Joe: Who are you?
Demi jumped a little. She wasn't expecting that. She looked around hoping to see him.
Joe: I asked you a question.
Demi: I'm Demi. The daughter of your maid.
Joe: Why isn't she here?
Demi: She's tired but I can replace her.
Joe: For how long?
Demi: I don't know. Maybe permanently.
Joe thought for a couple of minutes.
Demi: Um, are you still here?
Joe: Yeah. Do you know how to clean and cook?
Demi: Yes.
Joe: I'll see. You can work today and tonight I'll tell you if you got the job.
Demi: Alright.
Joe: What you need is in the closet behind you and the kitchen on your left. I guess that's it.
Demi: Thanks.
Joe: You can start working.
Demi: Ok.
End of part 2
Part 3
~Later~
Demi cleaned the condo, except his room. It was locked for some reason. She knocked but he didn't answer. Maybe he was hiding a dark secret. She was curious about it. He was mysterious and she liked mystery. She realized it was lunchtime. She went in the kitchen. It was nice here. There was food but she didn't know what he wanted. How was he supposed to cook him something?
Demi: Mmmm...
Joe: What?
Demi jumped in surprise again. She looked around. He was hidden in the shadows. She couldn't see his face.
Demi: Since you're there, what do you want to eat?
Joe: Ehh?
Demi: You know, food.
Joe: Oh.
Demi: Well?
Joe: I don't know. Your mother never asked me. She just cooked.
Demi: Oh. Should I do the same?
Joe: Cook what you'd like to eat.
Demi: Why?
Joe: You're supposed to eat here. Your mother didn't tell you?
Demi: No.
Joe: You know now.
Demi: Yeah.
Joe: When you're done cooking, put my food on a tray. Knock on my door and leave the tray near it. Same thing for dinner.
Demi: Ok.
Joe: You can eat in the kitchen or in front of the tv.
Demi: Thanks.
Joe left. Demi looked at what she could cook.
~Later~
She put the tray in front of the door. She listened against it. It was silent. If she hadn't heard him or saw his shadow earlier, she could have swear she worked for a ghost. She knocked on the door and walked away. She hid behind a corner. The door opened. Before she could see his face, he bent down and took the tray. He was also wearing a hood. He closed the door again. Demi cursed to herself.
~After dinner~
Demi didn't get any chance to see Joe. Her working day was over.
Demi: Well, I'm going to leave. See you tomorrow.
Silence was her only reply. She left.
Joe: *he whispered* I'll see you tomorrow.
~With Demi~
She was walking to her evening class.
???: Hey.
Demi: Leave me alone.
???: You don't talk to Sterling Knight like that.
He wasn't being conceited. Well, maybe a little but he had good reasons. Sterling was the leader of a gang. A powerful and dangerous one. Their business was drug dealing, sell of guns and and anything nasty. You don't want to get involved with them. Sterling was no prince charming but he wanted Demi to belong to him. He asked her out but she said no. He didn't do anything bad about that. Yet?
Demi: I talk to you like I want.
Sterling: You know you're lucky. I could be bad. You know it.
He wasn't joking. He already killed people for less than that.
Demi: What do you want?
Sterling: I think you know.
End of part 3
Part 4
Demi: Never gonna happen.
Sterling: I think you should say yes.
Demi: I don't pay you to think for me so piss off.
Sterling grabbed her arm.
Demi: Ouch.
Sterling: I'll tell you why you should say yes. I'm going to leave you alone for now but you better stay single. Because the day I find out you have someone, I'll kill him.
Demi: You wouldn't dare.
Sterling: Try me *he let go of her and pulled out a gun* I'll kill him with that. Maybe a bullet in the heart if my aim is good.
Demi's eyes widened in horror.
Sterling: See ya *he walked away*
He was satisfied with what he did. He threatened her good this time. He made his decision. If he couldn't have Demi, no one would because he would kill any of his rivals. It was the price to pay when you refused him.
~With Demi~
She went home. She was worried about what Sterling said but she wouldn't stop living and be free. If she found someone, she would be careful and Sterling would never find out.
Demi: Goodnight, mom.
Demi's mom: How was your class?
Demi: I learned new things.
Demi's mom: What about your working day?
Demi: Interesting.
Demi's mom: You're curious about Joe.
Demi: I have to admit that yes.
Demi's mom: I was too.
Demi: Who wouldn't be?
Demi's mom: It doesn't matter. Just do your work and he'll be satisfied.
Demi: I wouldn't know that. I never saw his face.
Demi's mom: Don't chase that boy.
Demi: I'm not chasing him. I'm just deadly curious about him.
Demi's mom: This is just how stories start.
Demi: Um, I'm a little hungry.
Demi's mom: You didn't eat?
Demi: I did but...
Demi's mom: But you need a good change of subject.
Demi: Yep.
Demi's mom: Good thing I prepared a snack.
Demi smiled.
~The next day~
Demi went in Joe's condo. She looked around but didn't see him. King of hide and seek or what?
Demi: Hello.
Joe: Hey.
Demi: You're here.
Joe: Duh. I live here.
Demi: You could have gone outside.
Joe: No.
Demi: I have a request.
Joe: What could you possibly want? Another mop?
Demi: *fake laugh* Very funny. No, it's not that.
Joe: *getting impatient* Then what?
Demi: I want to see your face.
Joe: *he wasn't expecting that* Mmmm....
Demi: Or I don't come back to work.
Joe: I could take another maid.
Demi: Yeah but I don't think you would.
Joe: What makes you so sure of that?
Demi: *she shrugged* Lucky guess. So, what it's gonna be?
She was determined. Joe liked that. It was a strenght.
Joe: Deal.
Demi smiled in victory.
Joe: The light in the living room is better.
They walked there. Joe wouldn't admit it but he was really nervous. How will she react?
End of part 4
Part 5
Joe slowly put down his hood.
Demi: You're bald.
Joe: That's all you see?
Demi: You also have weird scars and lines.
Joe: Yeah.
Demi: Turn around, please.
Joe did as told, finally showing his face. Demi stared at him.
Joe: I have the uncomfortable feeling to be a rat in a lab.
Demi: Sorry, your face is just...
Joe: Plain ugly?
Demi: Unusual.
Joe: Oh.
Demi reached for his face.
Joe: No!
Demi jumped a little.
Joe: Sorry. I'm just not used to be touched.
Demi: I see.
Joe: Mmm...
Demi: That reminds me of some African tribes.
Joe: What?
Demi: The lines on your face.
Joe: I never thought about that. I just figured I was not normal at all.
Demi: Is this why you're hiding yourself? You're scared?
Joe: Yes. I'd appreciate if you don't tell anyone about what you saw.
Demi: I won't.
Joe: Thanks.
Demi: Were you always like that?
Joe: Ehh...
Demi: You don't want to tell me.
Joe: I'm just not used to talk about it.
Demi: It's fine. I don't need to know that. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't working for a ghost.
Joe smiled a little.
Demi: Well, I have to work now.
Joe: Yeah.
Demi walked away.
Joe: One last thing.
Demi turned around.
Joe: You're not scared of me?
Demi: No. Why should I?
Joe: Just wondering.
Demi shruged and left. Joe grabbed his book and started to read. It was a hooby he developted in these lonely years. His imagination grew. This was also a god way to travel without leaving his condo. The only stories he avoided were the monster ones. It reminded him too much of his own situation. He thought about Demi. She didn't seem to think of him as a monster. That was a good thing. Maybe she was the girl that could save him. What did the witch say again? That he should fall for her and her for him. It wouldn't be easy. It was one thing to not be afraid. Another to fall in love with him. If you go past his appearance, he wasn't that great of a guy. He realized it now. No way she would like him this way. What about him though? Was he ready to open his heart?
~Later~
Demi sat at the table. She could watch the food getting ready while she opened her notebook and wrote on it.
Joe: Is it your diary?
Demi: *she looked up* My homework actually.
Joe: You go to school?
Demi: Not really. Just evening classes.
Joe: Oh.
End of part 5
Part 6
Demi: Lunch is almost ready.
Joe: Good.
Demi: Since you're not hiding anymore from me, we could eat together.
Joe: S-sure.
Demi: *she giggled* I didn't ask you to marry me.
Joe: I know. It's just a habit of mine to eat alone.
Demi: Oh. If it's bothering you, I can just....
Joe: No. It's time for me to be civilized.
Demi smiled and finished the lunch. She put two plates on the table and all that was needed. She served them.
Joe: Thanks.
They started to eat. Joe was searching for a subject of convo. He looked at her homework.
Joe: Is it hard?
Demi: What?
Joe: Your homework.
Demi: Not really.
Joe: It's unfair you can't go to college.
Demi: Life is like that.
Joe: I could go.
Demi: Then why don't you?
Joe: I'm college homeschooled.
Demi: Oh. You really don't go outside.
Joe: No. I don't want people to stare at me in a bad way.
Demi: You don't know that.
Joe: I know people.
Demi: Do you?
Joe: I know people look at the appearance. I don't have a good one so I won't be accepted.
Demi: That's a really sad point of view. What kind of jerk would reject someone because of their appearance?
Me, in another life, Joe thought.
Demi: Well, maybe that's cheesy but I prefer a good personality than a good appearance. I know a good-looking guy that is awful.
Joe: Oh.
Demi: Yeah *she put some food in her mouth*
Joe: I was thinking that you could use my courses.
Demi: You mean you would share them with me?
Joe: Yeah.
Demi: What courses do you have?
Joe: Literature and History.
Demi: I'm interested in Literature.
Joe: We're studying American Literature this semester. The next, we will see the European one.
Demi: That's awesome.
Joe: Does it mean you're interested by this course?
Demi: Yes.
Joe: When we're done eating, I'll show you the last class.
Demi: Ok.
~Later~
Joe: Here it is.
Demi: *she looked at it* You're studying Nabokov.
Joe: Yeah, Lolita.
Demi: I read it.
Joe: What do you think?
Demi: Humbert Humbert is a monster.
Joe: True but he's good with words.
Demi: A rapist who knows how to speak, great.
Joe: Lolita is not so innocent either.
Demi: She was just a pre-teen that played a game. She didn't know he would go that far.
Joe: I have an essay to write about it. Why don't you write one too?
End of part 6
Part 7
Demi: Why?
Joe: To see if you can support your idea through an essay.
Demi: What's the thesis?
Joe: Is Lolita manipulative or just a victim?
Demi: I can do that.
Joe: It's due in a few days.
Demi: Ok.
~Later~
Demi went to her evening class. She sat and pulled a notebook out. She noticed a girl was looking at her.
Demi: Do I have something on my face?
Girl: You're an idiot.
Demi: What?
Girl: You have a hot guy after you and you're ignoring him.
Demi: What guy?
Girl: Sterling duh.
Demi: He's an asshole.
Girl: What?
Demi: Sterling. Asshole. Understood?
Girl: Don't treat me like an idiot.
Demi: What do you see in Sterling.
Girl: He's hot.
Demi: And?
Girl: That's enough.
Demi: So basically it's what a guy looks like.
Girl: What's more to like?
Demi: Oh, I don't know. I want a guy who is sweet, has something in common with me, respect me and listen to me. Sterling is none of that. You can date him if you want.
Girl: I tried and he rejected me.
Demi shrugged.
Girl: He only wants you.
Demi: So what? I should date him because he wants me too? Where's my free will in that? Plus, he's a drug dealer slash murderer.
The teacher came in and they stopped talking.
~A few days later~
Demi: Here my essay.
Joe: Can I read it?
Demi: Only if I can read yours.
Joe: Ok.
They exchanged their papers and read them.
Demi: You said Lolita was manipulative.
Joe: And you supported the contrary.
Demi: Yeah.
Joe: My teacher says you can say anything as long as you can prove it.
Demi: I know.
Joe: Can I keep it?
Demi: Why?
Joe: To correct the spelling mistakes.
Demi: I don't make spelling mistakes.
Joe: Are you sure?
Demi: Fine, keep it.
Joe: You like books, huh?
Demi: A lot.
Joe: I have something to show you.
Demi: What?
Joe: Follow me.
They went in a room.
Demi: *wide eyes* Is this your library?
Joe: Yeah.
Demi: There's so many books!
Joe smiled proudly.
Demi: I feel like I'm dreaming.
End of part 7
Part 8
Joe: I'm glad you're happy.
Demi: This is sweet of you.
Joe: Thanks.
Demi: You're a very sensitive guy.
Joe: You think?
Demi: Yeah. A lot of guys wouldn't have thought of doing that.
Joe: Maybe.
Demi kissed his cheek. Joe blushed.
Demi: Aww, you're blushing.
Joe: No, I'm not.
Demi giggled.
Joe: So, which book do you want to read first?
Demi: Oh, that's a good question. There are so many!
~Later~
Joe went on his computer. He scanned his essay and sent it to his professor. He sent Demi's essay too explaining her situation. He hoped it would help. He really wanted to help her.
~A few days later~
Demi was preparing lunch while listening to the radio. It always helped her to cook. She was even singing sometimes.
Demi: I'm walking on sunshine, ohhhh....
She was keeping an eye on the food and dancing a little. She heard a chuckle. She quickly turned around. Joe leaned against the doorframe.
Demi: You scared me.
Joe: Sorry.
Demi: It's ok.
Joe: Do you always cook like that?
Demi: Only sometimes.
Joe: It was cute.
Demi: You mean embarrassing.
Joe: Nope. Cute *he took a bit of food between his fingers and ate it*
Demi: Hey, it wasn't done!
Joe: It's good too.
Demi: Where are your manners?
Joe: Still sleeping in my bed.
Demi: You really think you're funny?
Joe: I know I'm hilarious.
Demi raised an eyebrow.
Joe: Anyway, I have some news.
Demi: What?
Joe: I sent your essay to my professor.
Demi: You what?
Joe: Here what he says *he gave her a paper*
Demi: *she read outloud* Your friend is brilliant. To be honest, her essay was better than yours. She should study in a college. We would be happy to have her in ours.
Joe: It's awesome, right?
Demi stayed silent.
Joe: Did I do something wrong?
Demi: No. You're right, this is awesome but you know I can't pay for it.
Joe: I could pay for you.
Demi: Oh, Joe. Don't make me your charity case.
Joe: This is not like that. I just want to help you.
Demi: I could try to get a scholarship or something.
Joe: You could.
Demi: Why are you so nice with me?
Joe stroked her cheek. Her skin was so soft. Demi put her arms around his neck and raised on her toes. His breath quickened when he realized she was going to kiss him. He closed his eyes. Their lips were about to touch.
End of part 8
Part 9
Joe: *he pulled away* Do you smell that?
Demi: The food! *she turned the fire off*
Joe: Is it burned?
Demi: No but almost.
Joe: Oh, ok.
Demi dressed the table. Joe couldn't believe what happened. They almost kissed. She wanted to kiss him! Hope overwhelmed his heart. They started to eat.
Demi: I'm thinking about someting.
Joe: What?
Demi: Would you like to go outside?
Joe: Mmmm....
Demi: I'll be with you and it's not like you're going to war.
Joe: You think?
Demi: I'm sure.
Joe: Fine.
Demi: We could go feed the ducks in the park.
Joe: I didn't do that since I was little.
Demi: What happened?
Joe: I grew up.
Demi: There is no age limit to feed ducks.
Joe: I don't think I have bread.
Demi: We will buy some.
Joe: Ok.
Demi: *she smiled* It's settled.
They finished to eat. Demi did the dishes.
Joe: Do you need help?
Demi: No, I'm done *she dried her hands* Plus it's my job.
Joe: When are we leaving?
Demi: We can right now.
Joe: Sure.
Demi put her coat on. Joe pulled a hood over his head.
Demi: Let's go.
Joe hesitated to open the door. Demi did it for him.
Joe: Thanks *about to close the door*
Demi: Your keys?
Joe: Oh, right *he went back inside, grabbed the keys and closed the door*
Demi: Better.
They left the building. It was a weird experience for Joe. Almost too much light and air.
Demi: Take a deep breath.
Joe: It's strange.
Demi: You can't live forever inside.
Joe: I can try.
Demi: You're not different from people.
Joe: I feel like I am.
Demi: Are they looking at you?
Joe: I don't know. I look down everytime we meet someone.
Demi: The sidewalk is not that pretty.
Joe: Certainly prettier than people's look on me.
Demi: What if I pull down your hood?
Joe: You're too small for that.
Demi: Touché. Stop there *she went in a shop*
Joe didn't go inside.
Demi: *holding a bag* I hope our friends are hungry.
Joe: We'll see.
They went in the park.
Joe: It's very nice here.
Demi: I know.
They went closer to the lake.
Joe: I forgot how it was outside.
Demi: Is it bad?
Joe: Not so much *he threw some bread in the water*
End of part 9
Part 10
Demi smiled. A little boy walked by and tripped. He fell down. Joe went to pick him up.
Little boy: *he looked at Joe's face* Cool mask.
Joe: Thanks.
Little boy: Thanks for picking me up *he walked away to his parents*
Demi: He didn't get scared.
Joe: *he smiled* I know.
Demi: You should smile more often.
Joe: I'll see about it.
~2 weeks later~
Demi: You have a secret.
Joe: What?
Demi: I heard it's your birthday today.
Joe: Oh, yeah.
Demi: You forgot.
Joe: Kinda.
Demi: Every birthday is important.
Joe: I know.
This was his most important birthday actually. His last chance to find love.
Demi: I'm going to bake you a cake.
Joe: Sweet.
Demi: At my place.
Joe: Why not here?
Demi: Because you won't spy on me.
Joe: Awww.
Demi: I'll see you later *she kissed his cheek and left*
Joe touched his cheek. Tonight was the night. He will tell her he loved her.
~That night~
Demi was home. The cake was almost done. She received a text. "How's my cake? Joe". She smiled and texted back. "In the oven. D". Two minutes later, Joe sent another text. "Can't wait to taste it ;) Joe". Her doorbell rang. Maybe her mom forgot her keys. She got up and opened the door.
???: Hey.
Demi: You.
Sterling: Can I come in?
Demi: No.
Sterling pushed her inside and went in.
Demi: Hey, I didn't invite you.
Sterling: I don't need an invitation.
Demi heard the oven ring. She took the cake off the oven.
Sterling: I gave you time to think.
Demi: About what?
Sterling: Us.
Demi: There's no us.
Sterling: I want one.
Demi: Well, I don't.
Her phone rang for a text. Sterling grabbed it.
Demi: Give it back!
Sterling: *he read outloud* Can I have a present too? Joe. Who's Joe?!
Demi: None of your business.
Sterling: Are you seeing someone?
Demi: What if I am?
Sterling: I warned you about what I would do.
Demi: Don't!
Sterling pushed her in her room and locked it from outside.
Demi: Let me out!
Sterling looked in her phone for an address. He found it and smirked. He made sure he had his gun with him and left.
~With Demi~
She had to get out of this room. She tried the door but it was locked.She couldn't wait for her mom to come home. Joe was in danger!
End of part 10
Part 11
She looked around the room. Her only solution was the window but it was sealed since the neighborhood was not safe. She grabbed a chair and threw it on the window. It exploded in pieces. She climbed out and took the stairs. Rain was pouring.
~With Sterling~
He went in the building and checked the names. Only one person was going by the name of Joe. It must be him. He lived in the top flat. Sterling took the elevator. He checked one last time if his gun was loaded. He left the elevator and twisted the knob. It wasn't even locked. His job was even easier. He went inside quietly.
Joe: Hey, Demi...
Sterling looked at him.
Joe: You're not Demi.
Sterling: *he made a face* You're Joe?
Joe: Who's asking?
Sterling: It doesn't matter. Stay away from Demi.
Joe: Get out of here.
Sterling: *he took his gun* I don't think so.
Joe's eyes widened and he ducked while Sterling shot. He hid in another room.
Sterling: You wanna play hide and seek? I'll find you anyway.
Joe didn't answer. He searched for his phone. It wasn't there. It must have slipped of his pocket when he escaped Sterling.
Joe: Shit.
Sterling: You're right.
Joe decided to fight back. He tried to grab Sterling's gun. They stumbled across the room.
Joe: I'm going to call the police.
Sterling: *he chuckled* You'll be dead before that.
They ended on the balcony.
Sterling: The thing I can't understand is why she chose a guy like you.
Joe: You don't know her.
A gunshot was heard and Joe felt a burn in his chest. He fell down. Shot. Sterling smirked and ran away. He didn't need to be find here. He ran on the road. It was slippery and he tripped. He heard a honk. He barely had time to turn his head and see spotlights. A truck ran him over.
~With Demi~
She ran as fast as she could. It wasn't easy with the damn rain. She reached the building and rushed in. She took the elevator. She hoped she wasn't too late. She left the elevator and saw the door was opened. She went in. It looked normal except the bullet shots.
Demi: Joe! Joe?
She looked everywhere. She went in his room for the first time and saw it was a mess. The balcony was open. She walked there. Joe was on the floor and he wasn't breathing anymore.
End of part 11
Part 12
Demi: Joe!
He didn't answer.
Demi: *she kneeled next to him* Please wake up!
She could see he was shot but she was hoping for a miracle.
Demi: I love you.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms05La1pDIU&list=PL34A9F075FB1D6D93&index=153&feature=plpp_video Demi: Wow.Joe: Thanks? *he chuckled*Demi: What happened?
