{Gaby's P.O.V}

Lexie just told me that Demi was rushed to the ER & that she was asking for me. I hope she's okay. I wouldn't be able to live without her.

I'm currently in the car while Lexie's driving towards the hospital. I managed to convince her to allow Ralph & Connor to tag along. I know that I'll be emotionally unstable & that I'll need my friends there.

My mind drifts off the 'fight' I had with Demi a few days ago. The last I said to her was I hate you. I immediately started bawling. I leaned against Ralph's shoulder while he hugged me, assuring me that everything'll be alright; just like Demi did.

We finally reached the hospital & got Demi's ward number. We rushed up & I ran towards the ward. I entered the room only to see her asleep with some kind of breathing mask on her face.

"Demi.." I choked as I reached for her hand, "Can you hear me?" Nothing. No response. "Demi, please," I pleaded. Her eyes were still shut. "Demi I take back what I said. I don't hate you. Demi, I love you. I love you too much to loose you. Please say something," I begged.

Nothing.

I shut my eyes & allowed the tears to stream down my face. "Demi?" I heard someone say. I recognized his voice. I turned around to see him with a bouquet of flowers, standing at the entrance.

He set the flowers down on the bed side table & we just hugged each other & cried. "What are we gonna do?" I cried. "We can't do anything. We can only pray & hope for the best," he squeezed me, "Don't worry. Our Demi's a tough one,"

"Thanks Will," I smiled. He hugged me even tighter. I looked over at Demi to see her eyelid twitching. Then both eyelids were twitching. Moments later, they opened. Her eyes were open!

"She's awake! She's awake!" I ran & screamed across the room. "Sweetie they're other people here too," Wilmer reminded me.

I think the doctor must've heard me screaming because we were sent out to the waiting room. There, I saw Lexie, Connor & Ralph sitting silently.  "How is she?" Lexie asked. "She's awake!" I squealed. "We heard," Connor chuckled. "Oh shut up," I playfully punched his arm.

I looked over to my right to see Wilmer pacing up & down, talking to someone on the phone. After he was done, he walked over to us, "Nick & Demi's family's on their way so I'm gonna make a move."

"You're not gonna stay?" I questioned.     "No. I know Nick doesn't really like me & I don't want to start anything," he placed his hands in his pockets, "Thanks for coming, kid. See ya,"

We watched him walk out of sight. I feel really bad for him. "Miss Lovato?" a nurse called & I stood up. "You can see her," she lead to Demi's room or ward or whatever it's called.

"Hey," she reached her arm out for mine. I held her hand & walked closer to her, "I don't hate you," "I know," she smiled. "No I mean it. I didn't mean what I said at the centre the last time. I love you," I squeezed her hand. "I love you more," her voice croaked.

"Impossible," I lightly kiss her hand.  "The doctor said I'll be alright," she smiled. "Well it's nothing a little chicken soup can't fix," I winked.

Our moment was interrupted by a group of people running in screaming Demi's name. I assume that's Demi's family. I turned around to check. I assumed correctly.

"Well I'm gonna take off. Take care, okay?" I backed up. "You're not gonna stay?" She asked. "No. Enjoy spending time with your family," I waved as I walked out.

"Let's go," I told Lexie. "You wannago now? But her family just arrived," she pointed in the direction of her room. "I am aware but I just...want her to spend time with them. They're more important," I sighed.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay?" Ralph asked. "I want to but I don't want to," I felt the tears sting my eyes. Ralph stood up & hugged me as I cried into his chest, completely drenching his shirt.

I wanted to stay with Demi forever but there was something inside me telling me that I shouldn't stay with her. It's all just so confusing.

We continued to sit in the waiting room for a while. One by one, I saw more people going to see Demi. I wanted to follow them but I had a feeling that I'd be unnoticed even if I was the tallest person there.

"Ready to go?" Lexie asked. "Okay," we got up & walked to the parking lot. We got into Lexie's Toyota & drove back the treatment centre.

I spent the whole car ride laying on Ralph's shoulder while Connor tried to cheer me up with stupid puns.

When we got back to the centre, Lexie told me that I'd be excused from all of tomorrow's activities. She gave a day to pull myself together. I thanked her & went to my room to sleep.

I was walking in a place which felt like a big white box. "Demi? Hello? Anyone?" I called out. I heard a loud noise followed by a shadow overshadowing my own. I turned around to see Demi.

"Demi!" I hugged her tightly. She stood there, hugging me back. "You're okay!" I teared up. "Okay Gab, you've got to stop crying," she chuckled, "I want you to listen to me & listen carefully, okay?"

"Everything's gonna be alright. I'm gonna be fine & so are you if you play your cards right & go along with this. Trust me, you'll get it later," her figure began to fade.

"Demi?!," I yelled as I reached out for her but my arm just went through her. I looked around to see that I was alone in the big empty box again.

A couple of seconds later, two girls appeared out of no where. They were wearing necklaces which read "depressed" & "anorexic". It's weird because they both looked exactly like me. The depressed girl looked completely exhausted & the anorexic one was all skin & bones. One of them finally spoke up.

"We're you. The different elements of you. Depression, Anorexia & Suicidal. This is what you'll become if you continue doing what you're doing," she spoke

"But where's the suicidal one?" I asked. "She doesn't exist anymore. It took me a few moments to realize what she meant. "You have a choice. You can either recover or become like us,"

I woke up panting. I caught my breath & looked over to see that Ralph was still asleep. Terrified to go back to sleep, I took out my book & began writing.
