Demi Lovato reportedly rushed to hospital following suspected heroin overdose

Demi Lovato, 25, rushed to LA hospital after suffering a suspected heroin overdose. Our sources state that Demi was transported by ambulance from her home in the Hollywood Hills just before noon on Tuesday.

We do not know her current condition.

The first thing I heard was the sound of multiple machines and then the sound of voices, they were muffled though and I couldn't quite work out what anyone was saying. My body felt heavy and it took everything I had to just move a finger. A hand quickly wrapped around mine and there was a soft gasp.

"Demi?" the voice sounded surprised. I sort of grumbled as I forced my eyes open and was just met with a complete blur. My eyes sort of darted around the room until they landed on the person beside me who I couldn't make out.

"Who are you?" my voice was scratchy.

"Demi, it's Madison."

"I-I can't see. I can't-I can't see anything" Madison's grip tightened on my hand as she sobbed. The blurs moved and changed as I glanced around the room but I couldn't make out a single thing. I felt a hand slide into my other and I glanced to my side. "Mom?"

"Yeah Baby, it's me" she lightly combed her fingers through a strand of my hair.

"What happened?"

"You overdosed, Honey" a groan slid from the back of my throat. How is that even possible? I wasn't injecting anything. I was only smoking it. How can I have overdosed?

I was in and out of consciousness for the next few days, the same few people visited. I was surprised however with a visit from Wilmer. I didn't expect him to care about me anymore. I had tons of wires and IV drips hooked to my body that still felt incredibly weak and heavy. I struggled to even move around in the bed. All I really want to do is sleep. My vision had slowly began to improve but everything was still blurry.

I glanced over to the door when it was pushed open. I could just make out my Mom as she stepped into the room.

"Hi Baby. You're awake" my lips tugged ever so slightly at the corners. "How are you feeling?" her hand slid into mine.

"Still a little rough. I thought I had it under control" she leant to press a soft kiss to my temple as a tear rolled down my cheek. "I'm so sorry, for everything."

"Don't apologise. You're okay" she softly wiped my cheek. "You up for a visitor?" my eyebrows scrunched together.

"Who?" she didn't say anything but her lips twitched into a light smile as she caressed the back of my hand. She went to move away but I lightly gripped her hand to stop her. "Is it out? D-Does everyone know?"

"Yeah Baby. Everyone's worried about you, and they love you" she slid her fingers through the ends of my hair. "I'll be back, okay?" I nodded, closing my eyes as she leant to kiss my forehead. I released a breath as she left the room, the beeping of the machines once again the only noise I was left with. I didn't open my eyes even at the sound of the door opening. It wasn't until they spoke that my eyes shot open.

"Hey you" he was a complete blur that only worsened as my eyes welled up with tears.

"Odell?" a lump formed in my throat.

"Yeah, you miss me?" he gently teased as I choked on a sob.

"What are doing here?"

"Had to make sure you were okay, didn't I?" Odell took a seat in the chair my Mom was previously sat in.

"I fucked up" his hand slid into mine. "I shouldn't be alive right now. I should be dead" Odell's grip tightened around my hand. "3 strokes and a heart attack. Multiple organ failure. Pneumonia. I shouldn't be here, Odell. I should be dead" he caressed the back of my hand with his thumb and leant to softly kiss my tear-stained cheek.

"You're gonna be okay, D. You're a fighter, a warrior. You can get through this, Baby" my heart completely melted. Odell and I didn't talk that much but it wasn't awkward. He stuck around for a while and I really appreciated that. For the first time I was able to eat something but it wasn't appetising at all.

"This tastes like shit" Odell laughed from where he sat beside me, leant back against the chair.

"What even is it?"

"I don't know" I glanced to him as he continued to laugh. "I can't wait to get out of here, just go home and sleep."

"You not heading into treatment?"

"I don't need too. I've been sober, I know what it takes" Odell's eyes dropped to the floor. I released a breath and rolled my eyes. "You really think I need treatment?"

"It isn't my place, but you overdosed, Demi."

"I didn't mean too. I had it under control."

"You wouldn't have overdosed if you had it under control, Baby. You didn't have control, Demi" I bit down on my lip as I glanced down at the plate of inedible food.

"I guess. I just wanted to be free, Odell" he nodded, lightly wiping the tear from my cheek as I met his gaze. "I wanted to have control of my life. I didn't want it to be controlled for me. I just wanted to be happy" he nodded, sliding his arm around me as I choked on a sob. He lightly caressed my spine that was showing through the gap in the gown.

"You will get that control, Demi. You just gotta take it a day at a time. You gotta go easy on yourself" he pressed a soft kiss to my temple and just held me as I cried.
