Being a Lovato was never easy

Chapter 5

Demi's POV

As I was about to get out of my car Maddie called me. "Hey Mads, whats up?"

"Can you come and pick me and Ellie up from school?" She asked. It sounded like she was crying or about to which worried me.

"Why what's wrong?"

"I slipped at the front of the school and I've injured my ankle an-" I cut her off.

"Okay Mad, I'll be there in a minute. Meet me by the front of the school and I'll take you to the hospital."

Before she could reply I hung up and drove to the school as quickly as I could.

Once I pulled up at the school, I saw Maddie holding Ellie while she clenched onto her stomach crying. I just sighed because Ellie is probably attention seeking. I mean she always is, it's not my fault me Dal and Mad have all done something with our lives and she is just jealous.

As I approached them Maddie got up and hugged me but I could clearly see the amount of pain her ankle was in.

"Get up Ellie we're going home. You can tell MOM why it's so URGENT you need to get picked up from school too." It was annoying because she always needs to come home with Mad so she isn't missing out.

All three of us made our way to the car and the journey back home was silent.

Ellie's POV

When Demi pulled up my stomach started to hurt really bad and it caused me to start crying. When Maddie saw I was crying she wrapped her arms around me and kept comforting me.

Demi approached us and by that time I had stopped crying because I just felt numb. Of course Maddie would go over to her and hug her and completely forget about me.

"Get up Ellie we're going home. You can tell MOM why it's so URGENT you need to get picked up from school too." She sounded annoyed but I don't even know what I did wrong.

I was hesitant about getting in the car for two reasons; one is that Demi will moan at me for anything and everything that I do and the second reason is because of how fat I am it could weigh the car down.

Eventually I got in and the journey home was filled with so much tension you could cut a knife through it. Demi hasn't spoken a word to me but she keeps on checking on Maddie to make sure her ankle is in no pain and telling her that we will be home soon.

Demi's POV

In the car I wanted to make sure Maddie was ok because if she has injured her ankle badly I don't want to be the reason why she is in more pain.

We arrived at the house and I told Maddie to stay in the car while I take Ellie inside the house and explain to mom that we're going to the hospital.

"Ellie you really need to stop trying to get attention and acting like you're injured when you aren't. If you want to see want pain is be in Maddie's shoes right now or go through what I went through because until then you will NEVER know what pain is." I told her.

She mumbled something but I couldn't understand what it was that she said.

Ellie's POV

"Ellie you really need to stop trying to get attention and acting like you're injured when you aren't. If you want to see want pain is be in Maddie's shoes right now or go through what I went through because until then you will NEVER know what pain is."

"Maybe I am" I mumbled which she probably didn't hear.

She opened the door and I ran upstairs and locked my bedroom door. I made my way to my full length mirror and I took my top off.

I gasped because my stomach was no longer tanned but it was about five different shades of purple and blue I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't be bothered to put my top back on and I made my way to the bathroom.

Everything that Amber and Demi have said to me today just kept on replaying on in my head over and over again.I couldn't cope.

I picked up me blade and my about 20 fresh new cuts on my wrist. I got up to clean it but one of them wouldn't stop bleeding. I placed a tissue on it then grabbed my hoodie from my bed and ran into my mom's room.

I found the first aid box and pulled out a bandage and wrapped it around my wrist.

"ELLIE COME DOWNSTAIRS NOW!!!!" my mom shouted.

Great what have I done wrong this time. I pulled myself up and made my way to the kitchen where mom, Demi, Eddie and Maddie were.

"Yes" I said as I sat down on one of the chairs.

"Tell us why you are craving attention so badly." Eddie said to me. I had no idea what he is going on about.

"What are you going on about?" I asked.

"You pretending to be ill so you could get out of school." Mom said.

I was completely lost.

"I'm not pretending to be ill, I didn't say I felt ill, I actually told Mad that my legs gave way and me stomach is hurting." I informed them all.

They still didn't believe me so I decided to prove that I wasn't lying.

"Do you want me to prove to you that I am not lying?" I asked them all.

"You can try but it's had to tell the truth when you're so full of lies and being fake." Demi said to me.

I couldn't believe she thinks I act fake and lie, I knew she was a child of Satan but really.

"I wouldn't mind my daughter proving that she isn't pretending to be ill." Mom said and gestured for me to prove it.

I took a deep breathe because I was scared about all the fat they were about to see. But I have to do it because they are all watching every move I make. I put my hands on the bottom of my top and held it up so they could see where Amber had proceeded to hit me.

The room filled with gasps and shocked faces as they stared at my bruise.

All of a sudden my eyes started to feel heavy and darkness blocked any chances of light getting through.

All I could remember was mom shouting my name.
