You're Magnificent (Demi Lovato Fanfic)

You're Magnificent (Chapter 31)

{Gaby's P.O.V }

"What the hell?" I stood up. "Now, honey-" "Don't honey me. What the hell are you doing here?" I spat. "We came to see you," You could the 'duh' tone dripping from Mrs Adam's voice.

"No" "No?" She lightly chuckled, "Honey we flew all the way from New York to see you. Aren't you the least bit happy or grateful of the effort we took?" She spoke in a tone that made me want to punch her in the head.

"What effort? You live in a mansion in New York!" I backed up. "But we flew-" "All the way to the place I was forced to go because of you guys? Yes, I'm forever grateful," I threw my hands up in the air.

"What's going on here?" I heard a familiar voice behind me. "Demi!" I ran into her arms. "What're you doing here?" Mr Adam spoke. "Excuse me? I'm here to see my sister," Demi's grip on me got tighter. Well that just caused a lot of trouble.

I saw the looks of the kids in the Adam family & believe me when I say that they were more than furious. "Sister?" Belinda yelled, "I'm your sister! I'm your fucking sister! Emily's your sister! She's not fucking related to you!"

I leaned in closer to Demi, afraid of Belinda. Of course, this angered her & she lunged towards me while everyone held her back.

"Sister? Can I call you that?" She sarcastically asked, "Who's been in your life the longest?" "It's not about how lo-" "Who sacrificed a lot to make you happy? Em & I worked at KFC 8 hours a day so wouldn't have to suffer & this is how you choose to repay us? Our grades suffered because we spent most of our time talking care of you," "I never asked you to take care of me," "Well clearly you needed her to take you in because we didn't do a good job," she spat. I stood speechless.

"That's what I thought. I don't even know why we came all the way here," She stormed off with the family behind her.

"I have a feeling their gonna be back," Demi chuckled. I remained stationary & speechless. "Gab?" Demi looked at me. "I never knew they sacrificed so much for me," I mumbled.

"You're not having second thoughts are you?" She asked. I stood silent. "Gab, say something. You're scaring me," "Sorry, I just- why don't we opt for joint custody?" I asked, "Y'know like divorced couples?"

"So like you visit them every other weekend? No. No Gabriella I don't want that. I don't want to share you. Plus you'd be spending half your teenhood on a plane," she sighed, "Who do you want to stay with?"

I looked at the tears pooling in her eyes & her lips quivering. I honestly love Demi more than anyone else in the world; she's done so much for me.  I also have a newfound respect for my sisters. I honestly have no idea who to pick. "I..um..need some time," I sighed, "but there's a 99.999% that I'll pick you," "I just want you to be happy," she choked.

Happy. That's one thing I'll never be.

{Next day}

I was sitting in the back of the tiny classroom learning something about Josef Stalin & his opponents. I honestly wasn't paying attention. I was still pondering over my life changing decision. Demi or the Adams?

The girl in front of me turned around & placed a tiny  folded piece of paper on my desk. Are you coming to the blowout tonight, biatch? it read. I turned to Connor & asked him what a blowout was.

"One question, are you serious about your recovery?" He asked. I shook my head in response. "Great. The blowout a huge party that kids like you & me go to once a year late at night to get drunk & stoned," he explained.

"We sneak out through the back exist at 11. The guard that works there is super chill but rarely works here so that's why we have a blowout once a year," "Cool" was all I managed to spit out.

"Are you in?" "Fuck yeah," I smiled. "Good. Ralph would never go for such a thing so I'll pretty much be your date," he smiled. "O...kay..." I responded. The girl in front of me turned around once again, "You coming?" I nodded excitedly in response.

{A few hours later}

Lexie called for lights out at 10pm. It's 10:12 & I was still picking out an outfit. Why didn't I pack any party clothes?

I finally decided on black leather skinny jeans & red frilled top. No one's gonna pay attention to what I wear anyway.

I tried to convince Ralph to come along but he was dead serious about his recovery & didn't budge. I respect Ralph. I really do. It takes a lot of courage to fully commit to something, especially when you're on your own.

Connor swung by room to pick me up & we snuck out through the back exit. We walked a couple of blocks until we finally came across an old abandoned warehouse. This is gonna be fun.

{Demi's P.O.V}

I was playing with Buddy because I really couldn't sleep. I was still thinking about yesterday.

I mean, what if she picks the Adams instead of me? Will I lose the best thing that's ever happened to me? I don't want us to be separated again. I was already so lonely during that one week where she visited them & now she's in rehab for who knows how long.

I need her back. I can't survive without her by my side. I burried my face into my hands & burst into tears. The thought of losing her forever was killing me.

Moments later, my phone began to ring. I took a deep breath & answered. It was the court. They've scheduled another hearing next week. "Oh my gosh, thank you," I squealed as I practically ran around my room in circles, totally excited. I need to call the centre tomorrow.

{Gaby's P.O.V }

I woke up back in my room at the treatment centre. I looked at the clock to see that it was 3am. I had a terrible headache & I felt like I had the flu. Oh  how I hate hangovers.

I ran to the bathroom in the room & just puked everything out. I searched for the asprin I hid in my make up kit. I took about 3 pills, cupped the water from the sink & drank it.

I changed into a hoodie & sweats & hid the clothes that I was wearing earlier to prevent suspicion. I threw myself onto the bed & was out like a light.
