You're My Little Skyscraper - Demi Lovato Fan Fiction

Chapter 11 - Broken & Bruised

Demi POV

My phone was vibrating but where the hell was it?! This was the 6th time now it had gone off. Whoever was trying to ring me was desperately trying to get hold of me.... GOT IT! Whoa! 6 missed calls and all off Ricky suppose I’ll ring him back. The sound of a phone ringing has got to be the dullest thing ever. 4 rings... Pick up! I hate it when people try to ring you and then don't answer themselves. 5 rings... Come on... He picked up.

"Ricky what's up?" - I said calmly. But it wasn't Rick that answered. It was Alex.

"Demi its Alex" - He sounded serious.

"Alex what is it?" - This was strange.

"It's Rick" - As soon as he said that my heart just sunk... What was happening this had never happened to me before considering we’d just had the biggest argument ever.

"W-W" - I couldn't say anything like someone had ripped out my vocal chords.

"I don't want you to panic Demi okay? Just breathe and listen to what I'm about to say" - Seriously Alex just fucking tell me!

"Rick's in the hospital" - I just froze. "He was involved in an accident" - What... I found some sort of strength to say anything at all.

"Wait. What? Is he okay? What happened? Alex please I have to know..." - I was pacing my room almost in tears and there was a long pause until Alex replied.

“No not at the moment he’s weak… but he is getting better Dem remember that okay he is getting better, he can talk which is an improvement from last night the main thing is he's getting better Dem... Remember that… he's getting better." - I couldn't believe this.

"Well can we see him?" - I asked trying to calm myself down.

"I'm on my way now to pick you up believe it or not; I'll be there in a few minutes. Do something for me though Dem?" - He asked softly.

"Of course" – Anything for Alex, he was like one of my closest friends.

"Stay strong yeah. Stay strong for me and everyone else but more importantly stay strong for Rick" - It was the first time he'd ever said anything like that to me. It hit me right in the heart.

"Of course Alex...” - This was just a very difficult thing to do as I'm still in recovery. But I could never let Rick see me like this. I sat in my apartment waiting for Alex to pick me up. This feeling was horrible but suddenly there was a knock at the door, I got up and opened it to find Alex there with open arms I just fell into his warm hug and broke down into tears.

“Sshh… It’s going to be okay I promise… now come on let’s go see him” – He looked down at me and smiled. His half smile always put a smile on my face. I tried to smile back but it just made me cry more, he put his arm around me and led me out to his car.

Alex’s POV

I stepped on the gas and sped off towards the hospital, this was horrid not only was my best friend in hospital but the one person who means the world to him was breaking down in front of me. I hated this because of the amount she’s been through in the past and the fact that her and Rick had this massive argument she really didn’t need anything else playing on heart. I was going to do everything I could to get her through this. At the rate I was driving we were going to be at the hospital in no time, luckily it was late and there was hardly any traffic on the roads.

“How you holdin’ up Dems?” – I asked keeping my eyes on the road.

“I’m okay it’s just not what I expected to happen is all” – She replied quietly picking at her nails.
