You said you Loved me{Demi Lovato}

{25} Tightrope

Tears flowed down my face but I quickly wiped them away when Demi came out of the room. I smiled and tried so hard to keep it in, but I can't keep it from Demi. She's going to freak out if I wait a long time and she'll ball her eyes out when I tell her.

"Hey, Cally, ready for that dance party?"

I sniffled and smiled at her again. "Yeah. Let's go!"

"Wait. Cally, you seem different. Is something wrong?"

Damn she can catch anything. "Demi, I would rather tell you on the bus. But you have to promise me you won't cancel your tour. I understand it's going to be heartbreaking but you need this."

She paused before saying something. "Okay." Her voice trailed off and we made our way to the bus. I held my arms closer and closer to my body, squeezing my stomach. My eyes welt up in more tears.

We opened the doors and I exploded. I couldn't get up the stairs to get inside. Wilmer had to pick me up and carry me. Demi sat down next to Wilmer and I held him closer to me.

"Cally, what's going on?"

I grabbed onto Wilmer's shirt and squeezed it in my hand. "M-moms in the hos-pital."

She gasped. Then she leaned up against Wilmer and put her head on his shoulder, while the tears just flowed out. She didn't even ask why, she just cried.

Wilmer finally spoke and asked why. I quickly explained before more tears flowed into my eyes. Demi over heard and just went straight to her phone. I feel like we're over reacting but this is serious. We haven't had anything happen to us like this with mom. She's always had perfect health.

"I'm canceling the rest of the tour." Demi shoots up and reaches for her phone.

"No! Demi you promised!" I say, ripping the phone out of her reach.

"Cally, I can't stand to be away from her when she's like this. I have to cancel it."

"No you don't!! Demi you have fans across this world that need you and have been dying to meet you! If you were going to see Kelly Clarkson and you had meet and greet tickets, wouldn't you be heart broken if she canceled? Demi this is a one time thing, it may be another 5 years before you go back across the world."

She was silent. For too long. "Demi, if you want, I'll go back home and stay with mom. I promise I'll keep you updated."

"No, I can't do that to you! I wanted you to come so we could spend time together and you could see the other side of the world!"

"Demi I would rather it be me, than you."

She hesitated. "Okay."

I hugged her once, then started packing. I got practically my whole suitcase wet with all the tears falling. Madison kept texting me, updating me with everything. After 10 minutes, it was totally quiet. My phone wasn't buzzing at all. My heart started racing.

I walk out, and Demi holds her hand out to me. I grab it, then she pulls me in closer. "Wilmer will drive you to the airport and Dallas is picking you up. Please, call me when you land, and when you get to the hospital."

"I will. Don't worry."

The car ride and the plane ride, were brutal. My heart was shattered, and Maddy still wasn't texting me. I was sitting in a chair waiting for Dallas to come get me, just staring down at my phone.

I felt a presence next to me, and my a anxiety started to kick in. I felt sick to my stomach and started to get up, until the lady started talking to me. "You okay Hun?"

I didn't answer. I knew that if I started talking, I would start crying. "Look, whatever you're going through, I promise it's going to get better. Just a bump in the road that you'll be able to jump over sooner or later."

And with that, I got up, and started to walk to the bathroom, where Dallas ran up and hugged me. I burst into tears and we walked to the car. She was going way over the speed limit, but I would be too, if I could drive.

"Hey Dal?"

"Mm?"

"How's mom? You know, before you left."

She hesitated. "Well, let's just say this, she's very sick, and there are other things going on, other than the heart attack. The doctors can't figure out everything, but they're trying their hardest."

She grabs my hand and her voice started to crack. "Whatever happens, Cally. Promise me, you'll be the strong one. Promise me, you won't break down like Maddy and I will."

"Dallas! I can't promise that! And besides, we've all have to stay strong right now! If It was one of us in that hospital bed, mom would say for ALL of us to be strong."

She's quiet. We pull into the parking lot and Maddy is standing outside. I run out of the car and into her arms. "Maddy! Why are you standing out here?"

"They wouldn't let me in her room!! Her heart monitor started beeping really fast so they rushed me out. I couldn't stand to be in the waiting room alone so I thought I would stay out here and wait for you guys."

"Okay, just take deep breaths. We're all going to get through this. It's just another bump in the road that sooner or later we'll be able to jump over."

Holding each other's hands, we walked inside. Maddy sat down, and put her head on my shoulder.

"What if she doesn't make it?" She asks, with her heartbreaking voice.

"She will," I take a big breath and hold her tighter.

"I promise."
