Open Wound//A Demi Lovato Fanfic

Whats on Your Wrist

Monday, wonderful.

I awoke to my alarm blasting Demi music. Demi walked in and sat on my bed shutting off my alarm. "You know its really weird waking up to my own voice everyday." I giggled. "Sorry, not my fault im a die hard lovatic" I shrugged. She giggled

"Ok before you get dressed for school I have to talk to you about something. Me and Nick have been talking and we think it might be a good idea for you to see a therapist....how does that sound?" She asked a little uneasy. I thought for a bit. "Will anyone know about this?" I asked. "Not unless you tell them, its going to be our secret I promise." She said pretending to zip her lips and throw away the key. I giggled "Fine ill go, but if I hate it can I stop?" "You'll get two weeks, just like school." "Fine sounds fair enough, when do I go?" "Thurdays at 5:30"

"Okayyy, now get out I have to get dressed." Demi was hesitant to move but eventually spoke. "Can I uh s-see your scars?" "What?" "Y-your scars....like from your foster parents....c-can I see?" I thought about it. "Sure I guess..." I slowley lifted my shirt off revealing self harm scars at the top of my stomach and a couple of cuts above and old faded bruises. Demi looked closely and hugged me tight. "Im so sorry baby girl, im so sorry I gave you up im so so sorry!" "Mom no its okay, you got me through it, your the one who kept me strong. Dont say your sorry say your welcome." I smiled. "Im just so glad your okay now. I love knowing your safe and sound here. I should probably leave you to get dressed though right?" "It would be a nice idea." I giggled.

I quickly got dressed and met Demi downstairs. Nick was leaving early for the next to weeks for recording and Demi works with her crew at 12 and comes back around 4:30. So its just me and mom.

Demi drove me to school after making sure i ate all my breakfast, which I was just going to end up throwing back up anyway, weather I wanted to or not.

I walked into school unpacking and meeting Amelia and her friends near the entrance where we usually meet. "Aria!" Amelia screamed as she ran over to me throwing her arms around me. I chuckled at her peppiness, no wonder shes a cheerleader. "Haha hey guys whats up?" "Nothing much, are you ready for that test today? First one of the school year." Lily said. Shit I didnt even study. "Umm psh ya I studied im all ready for it! Im sure it wont be that hard!" I said trying to seem cool and calm. "Well im a nervous wreck!" Said Lily. They all nodded in agreement.

Grades were super important to Amelia and her friends, while I didnt really give a shit. Who needs school? I have two famous parents making thousands, im only here because of Amelia and Demi makes me go. "Aria? Aria! Aria!" "W-what!? Oh sorry I started daydreaming...not much sleep last night." I shrugged.

"Hey Aria, what happened to your wrist?" Olivia asked grabbing it. But i quickly ripped it away and shoved my sleeve down. Fuck my sleeve must have rolled up. "What erm nothing what are you talking about?" I asked on the verge of a panic attack. "Here let me see." Emily said reaching for wrist but I quickly pulled away "Umm I gotta go guys ill be right back." I said nervoudly running away into the bathroom as fast as i could.

I ran into a stall locking the door gasping for breath and clawing at the walls trying to stand but I ended up sliding down the wall. I quickly tried to grab my phone out of my back pocket and fiddled with it trying to click Demi's number, but my hands were shaking a lot and before I knew it, Amelia and her friends ran into the bathroom calling my name.

My breathing quickened and got heavier. "Please, j-just g-go a-away" i
I managed to get out but they wouldnt leave and the tears continued to fall. I dont even know why I was crying so hard and shaking so bad. Ive lied thousands of times, why couldnt I now?

But i hurredly texted Demi Mom please come pick me up, I need you, now, fast, please mommy
I quickly got a reply Im on my way, this better be important or your grounded Soon the bell rang and the girls gave up and left telling me they'd see me in class and their there for me if I needed them.

I slowley walked out drying my tears and doing my best to calm down so no teachers would ask whats wrong. I went back to my locker to grab my backpack and heard my name over the loudspeaker. Soon I was in the car with a worried Demi asking whats wrong.

"Mommy just drive home and let me hold you." I said crying again clinging to her arm. "Aria please tell me what happened." Demi begged. "Ill tell you at home, I swear." I said falling asleep.

When we arrived home Demi sat with me on my bed and I explained how Amelia and all her friends saw the cuts. "Maybe you should tell them." Demi said shrugging. "Are you crazy!? They'll think im insane! They'll never want to talk to me again! Plus I CANNOT have that going all around school. Please just homeschool ms mom! Please!" I begged. "Its only one more week, one more week and you can make your final decision. But please choose wisley, I dont want you to lose those girls, they really care about you."

I nodded and decided to head upstairs to calm down. I threw myself onto the bed when I got a text from Amelia.

Amelia: If your self harm Aria its okay, I'm here for you😘
