Selena spent every second of every day next to Demi’s bed hoping that the younger girl would finally wake up. Yet it had been nearly a week and there was no change in Demi’s condition.
The door to Demi’s hospital room suddenly opened revealing a short blonde. “No offense Russo, but you stink. I think that Demi keeps trying to wake up, but your odor knocks her back out. So this is in an intervention, Miley is staying with Demi and you’re coming home with me to shower and change. Then and only then will I allow you to return,” declared Dallas causing Selena to smile.
“How can I say no to that?” questioned Selena standing up and pecking Demi’s lips softly. “I’ll be right back rock star. You know that it’s not a good idea to cross your sister,” joked Selena as she followed Dallas out and smiled at Miley who was waiting right outside the hospital room door.
“Don’t worry Sel, I’ll take care of her for you,” promised Miley.
Selena followed Dallas into the private elevator and looked around the condo. “So this is where you and Demi live now?”
Dallas gave Selena a sympathetic smile. “Yeah, Demi didn’t want to stay at your place. It held too many memories for her, so she bought this place,” explained Dallas. There are three rooms, mine, Dems and a studio of course. You can use Demi’s room, I know she won’t mind,” said Dallas.
“I don’t know Dal. I wouldn’t feel right. I mean what if Demi gets mad about me getting into her private space?” questioned Dallas.
“Uh Russo, you were all over her private spaces and I’m pretty sure she liked it,” joked Dallas with a laugh.
Selena couldn’t help laughing as she made her way into Demi’s bedroom. The first thing she noticed was the lack of personal pictures. The room was very generic. It lacked Demi’s personality unlike their old bedroom that held so much of themselves. She went through Demi’s stuff and pulled out an old concert t-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans before heading to the shower.
After a quick shower Selena lay on Demi’s bed hoping to rest for just a minute, but fell asleep in no time. The long hours in the hospital had taken a toll. She felt someone gently shake her and groggily opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and looked up at Dallas. “How long was I out?” she questioned softly.
“Couple of hours, but no worries if you want to rest go for it. I’m heading back to the hospital, so that Miley can head home to blondie,” said Dallas.
Selena stood up and straightened her clothes. “No, I want to go with you. I want to be with Demi,” responded Selena heading out the door.
As soon as she got back to the hospital Selena checked with the doctor for any changes in Demi’s condition and then made her way back to Demi’s room.
“I knew it. God copied Selly when he made angels. I hit the jack pot. A sky full of Selena look alikes,” said a voice softly.
Selena’s eyes widened as she saw the smile tugging on the corners of Demi’s lips and her beautiful eyes finally open. She quickly made her way over to her and leaned down to kiss her. “What do you plan to do with these Selena look alikes rock star?” questioned Selena in a teasing voice.
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” responded Demi.
Selena pressed the button for the doctor and then rested her forehead on Demi’s. “I’m so glad you’re okay baby. You’ll be back home in no time,” promised Selena.
Demi nodded and closed her eyes.
The doctor went in to check Demi’s vital signs and was pleasantly surprised to find everything was normal. “You got conked pretty good Demetria, but you shall be having a full recovery,” said the doctor as she left the room.
“Told you Russo! You took a shower and Demi woke up. Should’ve made you take one sooner,” joked Dallas.
Selena laughed as she held Demi’s hand tightly. “Shut up Dallas! I didn’t stink that bad,” whined Selena.
A couple of days later Selena helped Demi out of the car and into the private elevator, while Dallas carried the bags. Selena led Demi into the bedroom and tucked her in. “Get some rest rock star. I’ll fix you something to eat,” promised Selena.
The two had a mutual agreement not to discuss the breakup. They fell back into their normal routine and acted as if nothing had happened between them.
Selena knew that the arrangement was temporary. Once Demi got better they would have to confront their demons. She sat next to Demi as the younger girl ate her chicken soup and smiled when Demi pushed the bowl away.
“I’m tired of soup. Bring me a BigMac with extra cheese,” ordered Demi with a grin.
Selena took the bowl and set it on the nightstand before leaning back to kiss Demi’s forehead. “No deal. You’re still about a week away from BigMacs. Sorry,” said Selena with a smile. She headed towards the closest to pull out a blanket and a pillow. “Get some sleep rock star. I’ll see you in the morning,” promised Selena.
Demi looked at Selena with a confused expression. “Aren’t you staying at a hotel Sel?” she questioned.
“Um no. Actually I have been staying here, in your room actually. I’m sorry, but Dallas said that you wouldn’t mind. I’m gonna crash on the couch for tonight and get a hotel room tomorrow morning,” explained Selena.
“Why are you apologizing? I actually was going to tell you to check out of the hotel and stay here, but since there is no need put that blanket in the closest,” said Demi patting the left side of the bed. “Your side has been empty for far too long,” whispered Demi.
Selena nodded and climbed into bed next to Demi gently pulling her into her arms. Their relationship was far from mended, but this was something that they both needed.
