The Story Of Alexandria Lovato 1

Finally Found

Alex's POV:

What ends our kiss is Demi clearing her throat and saying, "I thought she was just your friend."

"Not anymore." I answer.

There is a tense silence as Demi leads me to the van and Marie and I get in. As soon as we get in, the van starts driving away. I glance around the van and see that Mom and Dallas look pissed off, Dad and Demi look nonchalant, and Maddy looks like she is trying to mask the fact that she's relieved.

"Why did you run away?" Mom says accusingly.

"Well I overheard how much you and Demi hate me, so I didn't think that I was wanted at home." I say.

Mom and Demi look guilty for a second, and then Mom looks angry as she takes in my appearance.

"What the hell happened to your hair? And why the fuck do you have a second ear piercing and a nose piercing?" Mom yells.

"Well I got upset and I thought that maybe if I changed you would like me." I say.

Mom's face remains impassive as she says, "Honey, I love you. You don't need to change. It's just the way you are. And Demi was moody last night and she got upset and blew up because of how stressed she was. She didn't mean a word she said. And you know how bad my temper is."

Wow. I'm getting Demi stressed. Maybe I should give up. It's pretty clear that Mom is acting. And Demi, well I guess I understand her, but mom saying that was uncalled for. I guess I'm going to do some acting of my own.

I sigh. "I know, but that is no excuse for you and her saying what you did." I say.

Demi looks over at me. "Alex, I'm really, truly sorry. Can you forgive me? I just forgot to take my meds earlier. And you know how moody I get when I don't take my meds." Demi says.

Does that bitch really expect me to forgive her after all she said? Well I know who I'm not going to go to if I need help. "Demi, I understand what you mean, but, um, I guess I'll forgive you." I say.

Demi smiles and hugs me. I had forgotten how her arms made you feel safe and loved, and that she smells like vanilla and roses. We drive into the garage and go inside.

Dad says, "Marie, can you go back to the orphanage? We'll come and get you so we can visit sometime."

Marie nods her head and leaves. Dad makes sure she's gone and says, "Get upstairs and pack, you're going to live with Demi."

"So you're giving me away? I always knew that I wasn't wanted. You always said, 'Why can't you be as good at acting as Dallas is? Why don't you get as good grades as Maddy? Why can't you sing as well as Demi?' And I hated it. It made me feel so unwanted and alone, and you you know what? Why don't you just say that you hate me cause I know that you do." I say, angrily.

I stomp up the stairs to my room and lock my door. I grab my blade and slice at my wrist as deep as I can, and I stop when I feel dizzy. I count the fresh cuts and end up with twelve.

I clean my cuts and pull out a large suitcase and I pack my stuff. I hear a knock on my door. I say, "Come in!" And then I remember that the door is locked and I go and open it, revealing............................

An. Who should it be at the door? Also, I need character ideas for a best friend for Alex. If you have any ideas, you could comment, or message me. I'll need age, hair and eye color, grade, and personality.
