A/N: Happy Easter guys! I've been in North Carolina on Spring Break but I'm home now.

Demi's POV

Nick and I were the only ones awake in the truck, everyone else was knocked out cold from exhaustion. I was tired too but driving helped me think, I just wanted to get the hell out of Illinois. Of course being bunched up in a truck for hours on end made the muscles hurt after awhile so Nick and I stopped and got out to stretch. We were heading for Iowa and Nick had been monitoring our route carefully, making sure we wouldn't get lost on the way. While we were stretching I started to call Nick's name and he wasn't answering. So I turn around and he's just standing there looking at me like an idiot. I never thought Nick would like me in a sexual way…considering he hated me not too long ago. But then he kissed me, yes Nicholas Grey kissed me, Demetria Monroe. I didn't know what to do, so I might have responded a bit which seemed to make Nick excited because he started groping me. And then as he pulled away I did what I always did when I panicked…I swung my fist.

WHAM!

My fist must have landed on Nick's face because he yelped out in pain and then fell to the ground, covering his face. I wasn't technically trying to hurt Nick; I just panicked and swung my fist in a random direction. I saw blood dripping from Nick's nose and he looked like he was seeing stars. "Oh my God, Nick I am so sorry" I said in a panicked voice as I helped Nick back to his feet, forgetting about the kiss for the moment.

"Damn Demi, I think you broke my nose" Nick said and he sounded funny, but this wasn't the time to laugh. "Damn it, should we find a hospital"? I asked nervously and Nick shook his head. "Nah I can jerk is straight, we need a gas station or something for some napkins and ice" he said and I nodded. And then I watched with wide eyes as Nick gripped the bridge of his nose and yanked his nose the opposite way. He flinched and groaned slightly and even I winced at the pain he must be feeling. The blood flow started getting a bit heavier and Nick looked like something out of a horror movie, blood all over his face and shirt.

Ten minutes later we were pulling over again at a gas station and the bright lights seemed to rouse the others because soon everyone was talking and asking Nick why he was covered in blood. "I um…fell when Demi and I got out to stretch a while ago" Nick lied and I kept my mouth shut, I didn't need any more tension on this trip and Nick kissing me was a drama grenade. "Dude let's go get you some ice" Joe said and he and Nick got out of the truck and headed into the gas station.

"Damn he must've landed face first" Taylor L muttered and some of the others chuckled. I was quiet as Selena climbed into the front seat and she rested a hand on my leg. "You look exhausted sweetie, let me drive for a while" she said and I clenched my jaw as I looked at her hand. I wanted to get on my knees and beg for her forgiveness and she didn't even know what I did yet. "We need some gas, I'll go get it and you can pump" I said and Selena kissed my forehead and agreed.

Selena's POV

Demi's been acting strange lately and so has Nick, I mean Nick is always a little secluded and strange but he's been getting better. Now they're both quiet and timid whenever they're around each other and I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I've been brushing it off though; we were in Iowa now and camping again. We had found a campground and it was so amazing, loads of other campers were here and some had big tricked out RVs and others were roughing it like we were.

The tents were up, the campfire built, and now it was just chill time. The camping grounds was pretty spaced out so there was no one really near us to bother us or to interact with but we had each other. I was sitting on Demi's lap while she talked to Mikayla and I noticed Nick looking over at us every few seconds. I ignored that little detail and sparked up a conversation with Lily who was a really nice girl once you got past her mild obsession with Miley. Lily was actually really sweet, but watching Miley love someone else was wearing her down slowly. Out of my peripheral vision I saw Mikayla pick up her cell phone and then walk away from the rest of the group, it was probably Destiny. When I looked back at Lily she looked like she was trying not to cry…mood swings much?

"What's wrong?" I asked and Lily shook her head and wiped the few tears that had started to fall. "Nothing, I'm gonna go lay down," Lily said and I nodded and watched as she walked toward the tent she shared with Mikayla. I sighed and looked around to see what could have triggered her sudden tears and then I saw Miley and Taylor sitting by the fire kissing. I huffed lightly and I felt a wave of pity for Lily, no one should have to go through that.

"I know how she feels," Demi muttered and I turned and looked at her with raised eyebrows. "How could you possibly know?" I asked and Demi rolled her eyes slightly as if it should be obvious to me. "Well remember when you started dating that Peaches girl? And you started parading her around in front of me?" Demi asked and I swallowed silently and turned back to look at Miley and Taylor. "But this is different Demi, Miley and Lily were dating for years and then it all went down the drain," I said and Demi shrugged lightly. "I might not have felt all the pain Lily is feeling but I got a taste of it," she said and I looked back at Miley and Taylor, both oblivious to the world because all they were focusing on was each other.

"Lily just needs someone else, someone to make her happy again," I muttered and Demi shook her head quickly. "Oh no, you are not dragging me into your matchmaking games Selly," she said and I laughed lightly and stuck out my bottom lip. "Pretty please" I said and Demi glared at me and sighed, slumping her shoulders in defeat.

"Fine, but where're we going to find Lily a girl toy?" She asked and I frowned as I started to ponder Demi's question. "I don't know, maybe during the trip she'll run into someone like Mikayla did and the chick can come along for the ride or something" I said and Demi laughed and shook her head in disbelief. "What if she falls in love with a psycho bitch that'll slit our throats while we're sleeping?" Demi asked mockingly and I rolled my eyes and hopped off her lap.

"Stop being a smartass Monroe," I said and Demi laughed again and shrugged. "I'm just saying it'll be scary movie potential sweetheart" she said and I laughed despite myself and walked over to the campfire. Miley and Taylor were still making out like animals that were in heat and I pictured Lily laying in her tent, by herself, crying.

"Will you two cut it out, have some damn decency" I snapped at the two of them and they looked at me in shock. "What's your problem Selena? You and Demi kiss each other in front of everyone every other hour" Miley said with a mocking glint in her eyes and I glared at her. "I don't do it in front of my ex girlfriend, you know the one who you'd been dating since middle school. You can be a cold bitch sometimes Smiley" I said and Miley flinched at her childhood nickname. "Whatever" she muttered and I could tell I had hurt her feelings but I didn't feel like fixing it right now.

"Awkward silence over here" Demi said as she walked up and sat next to me, cuddling up to my side. "Your girlfriend needs some Midol or something Monroe" Miley said and Demi blinked once and looked at me. I shook my head slightly; indicating for her not to ask and Demi shrugged and started to play with my fingers.

"OH-EM-GEE YES, PLEASE HURRY UP SO I CAN SEE YOU," came Mikayla's loud and excited voice and she practically skipped over to the rest of us with her phone still in her hand. "What's got you so giddy," Gabe asked as he smiled at her, flashing his dimples. "Destiny is like an hour away from here, she called and said that she's been trying to find me forever…she's so sweet" Mikayla said and she was gushing like a school girl.

"How'd she know we were here?" Nick asked suspiciously and Mikayla looked at him with an annoyed expression. "Don't go accusing her of anything; she didn't know we were here which is why she called. I told her which state we were in and what camp ground and she said she was an hour away so I told her to come" Mikayla said Nick scratched his head. "Okay but she can't come with us," he said and Mikayla glared at him. "Oh shit" Demi muttered and Mikayla poked Nick's chest. "Listen here Grey…you were a social reject and you wouldn't even be here if you didn't contribute to helping us find Selena, don't tell me who I can bring along as company" Mikayla snarled and Nick shrunk back and sat back down, mumbling under his breath.

"Whoa calm down there terminator, she can tag along" Joe said and Mikayla squealed and started hopping up and down. "Is she bringing any friends with her?" I asked curiously, hoping for a little playmate that could keep Lily company. "No she ditched her friends to come find me after they got back home…isn't she a sweetheart?" Mikayla asked, gushing again. "Yeah a real Romeo" Gabe said sarcastically but Mikayla completely ignored him.

"What's going on?" Lily asked as she sat next to Demi and me, rubbing her eyes which were red from crying. "Mikayla's lover Destiny is coming" Taylor L mocked and Mikayla kicked a rock in his direction. "She's not my lover, she's a friend" Mikayla hissed and the rest of us laughed.

"You're crushing on her…no denying that" Joe said and Mikayla blushed but dropped the subject.

Two Hours Later…

Mikayla was pacing back and forth, checking her phone for messages every two minutes. "Maybe she got lost Mikey" Demi said and Mikayla shrugged and kept pacing. "We were all headed for that lake two miles away…you wanna come?" I asked and Mikayla shook her head and sat down to make her point. "Alright, be careful" I said and Mikayla nodded and looked into the flickering flames produced by the campfire.

Mikayla's POV

The others had left a half hour ago and I was still sitting here waiting for Destiny. I really liked her, I mean she was pretty and smart and talkative…we connected on a lot of things. She played guitar and she loved horses, she had horses even. And her eyes, they were just so big and blue that you couldn't help getting lost in them. I told her that they reminded me of the ocean and she just blushed and turned away after muttering a thank you. She was shy but she was loud when she wanted to be, she was perfect. I was about to just go lay in my tent when I heard the sound of car tires and my head snapped up to see a black Trailblazer driving up. I hopped to my feet when I saw Destiny behind the wheel…I wish I had seen the panicked look on her face as she got out slowly. I ran to her and she looked almost in pain as I hugged.

"Mik run, run now" Destiny whispered lowly and I was confused. Before I could ask her what she meant something hit me upside my head and I blacked out, hearing Destiny scream my name before I hit the ground.
