Being a Lovato was never easy

Chapter 6

Demi's POV

I felt physically sick after seeing the bruise on Ellie's stomach. We were all in so much shock, the only thing that broke us out of out shock was when Ellie's head smashed against the table.

Mom kept shouting her name but she wouldn't budge, so we picked her up and took her upstairs and in her bed because maybe she was just tired.

When we went up to check on her a few hours later she was sitting up right and on her phone acting like nothing happened. She didn't appear to be in any pain which just proves that she had been lying because she could have easily used her make up to give an effect of a bruise.

Ellie's POV

When I finally woke up I looked around to see where I was and then I noticed my photos of me and Bea (Bea Miller) on my walls. I was trying to figure out how I got up here and into my bed because I thought I had passed out not that long ago.

I decided that I wanted to check my twitter account and my notifications were going over the top. After I tweeted a photo from a few years ago when I was at the beach and I was wearing a bikini, people have been commenting on it ever since.

Some people were saying that my figure looks so good and that I am a very beautiful person. Then as I continued reading some people were saying how fat I looked in that photo and that I should be entered into a freak show or something.

The one thing that really caught my eye, not that the others didn't but Amber commented saying 'She looks like a whale, I mean her nickname is fatvato.'

As I scrolled further down people were calling me fatvato and I'm not worthy of anything not even being related to anyone in my family.

As I was reading from the news feed Demi walked in and saw me on my phone. She just kept starring and I honestly couldn't take it any more.

"What do you want?" I asked her.

Her head shot up as if she had been brought out of her thoughts.

"I came to tell you that we took Maddie to the hospital and it turns out she has sprained her ankle so she is now upset. Also I can tell you was faking it about the bruise." She said to me. I couldn't believe her.

"How could I possibly have faked the bruise when I showed it you all in the kitchen?" I was starting to get annoyed with her now.

"Well it's easy, you wanted to be the centre of attention as always and the only way you could possibly do it is by using make up to give an effect of a bruise or you purposely injured yourself for some sympathy." She stated. I was shocked that she thinks that I would do something like that and why the hell would I want to be the centre of attention?

"Whatever, by the way nice tweet you posted about Maddie to make her feel better." I said to her as if her words didn't hurt me. But in reality her words hurt me so much and the fact that she is so oblivious about me going down the same path as her with self harming and the fact that she tweets Maddie to make sure she is always feeling good about herself and she doesn't do that to me.

It makes me wonder why I am still part of this family.

"Yeah well Mads needs some cheering up, she's had a very rough day. I'm sure you're going to say that you have had one to but I know too well that will be a bunch of lies." I was literally on the verge of tears but I didn't want to cry in front of her because she'll accuse me of crying for some attention.

Once she said that she turned around and slammed the door shut as she left my room. To be honest I was relieved that she left because the moment my door clicked, tears forced there way out of my eyes and before I knew it I was crying uncontrollably.

Demi's POV 

I am so sick and tired of everyone feeling sorry for Ellie, it's not as if she has sprained her ankle or there is a logical reason for her to get any sympathy. To be honest she is just begging for attention and it has to stop before somebody else stops her.

It would soon be time for dinner and my mom told me to go get Mad, Dal and Ellie.

I walked up and knocked on Dal's door and told her it's time for dinner and I done the same with Mad, once I told them they ran downstairs and sat down ready at the table.

When I knocked on Ellie's door there was no answer, so I decided to knock again. When she didn't answer for a second time I decided to go in her room and get her.

I slowly opened the door and noticed her bathroom door was shut. I walked over to the door and knocked on it.

"Yeah who is it?" Ellie asked.

"Demi, mom said it's time for dinner so you have to come down." I informed her.

I heard her groan and she unlocked the door and picked up her jacket form her bed.

We got to the kitchen and sat down in our normal places. I am next to my baby girl Mad and Ellie is directly in front of me.

My mom gave us our plates and we started eating.

Ellie's POV

At dinner I didn't eat anything I just moved food around on my fork and acted like I was eating. When it looked like I ate half my food I told my mom that I couldn't eat any more because I was 'full' so she let me get down so long as I emptied my plate.

Once I cleaned my plate I ran upstairs, locked my bedroom door, put Iggy Azalea's music on full blast and I made my way to the bathroom and I made myself throw up. I had never done that before but it might hurry up the process of me losing weight and then maybe I won't look like a whale.

I decided the best thing to do after brushing my teeth would be to go to bed and see what horrors Amber and pretty much the rest of the school have in store for me tomorrow.

As I got into my nice warm bed, I started to think about todays events and if my life could get any worse. Eventually my eyes started to feel heavy and before too long my body allowed sleep to take over it.
