Being a Lovato was never easy

Chapter 10

Ellie's POV

When Demi had finally finished interrogating me my family was allowed in the room. Demi had been acting weird ever since her phone call, when she told everyone that she was going somewhere to deal with something I knew something was up because she wouldn't just leave if she just found out about my bad habits.  

A few hours later the doctor came into the room and checked me over and announced to me and my family, other than Demi, that I was allowed to go home after my discharge papers were signed. I was so happy that I could finally go home.

My mom signed the discharge papers and we made our way to the car. Dal's phone beeped notifying her that she had a text message. When she read it her face dropped from her smile that she previously had.

Dallas' POV

My phone beeped so I checked my phone and the text I read from Demi completely worried me.

Demi:

I need to tell you and everyone else about Ellie.

Dallas:

What do you know that we don't? Ellie has been discharged.

Demi:

I can't tell you over text, it has to be face to face. I'll meet you guys at the house.

That was the end of the conversation between us.

My mind was racing about what Demi might want to tell all of us, was it good or bad? Could this affect Ellie for a long amount of time? I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Half way home Ellie had fallen asleep on my shoulder so I decided to tell everyone who was in the car that Demi wants to us something when we are back at the house.

They all looked worried but I had no idea if I could reassure them that it is nothing to be concerned about.

Demi's POV

After my text conversation with Dallas, I started to try and come up with what to say to them that Ellie is getting badly bullied and one of the main culprits is the one who happened to find her in her own blood. At least this gives a reason as to why she freaked out when I told her Amber found her.

I was also trying to come up with solutions to the problem and why she wouldn't tell any of us, although I understand why she wouldn't want to tell me, but she has everyone around her who would support her. Just when I was thinking about what else she could be dealing with the front door opened. Mom and Dad walked in first, then Maddie, followed by Dallas who was carrying a sleeping Ellie, she looked so peaceful, I wondered how anyone could be so to bully her.

Dallas went upstairs and put Ellie to bed while the rest of my family sat down so I could tell them what is going on with Ellie. I waited until Dallas came down and took her seat before I started.

"Do any of you guys have any idea what is going on with Ellie?" I asked all of them.

"No we don't Demi, please just get to the point though because I need to start making dinner." My mom said to me calmly but I could tell that she was getting impatient.

"I went to Ellie's school today to see some CCTV footage of what happened to Ellie before she was found in the bathroom. When I saw the footage I felt so sick because it shows Ellie getting bullied and being beaten up everyday for the past year." Once I told them they all gasped and mom looked like she was about to cry.

I got up and made my way to my mom to comfort her and reassured her that everything is going to be alright.

"Demi, how about Ellie goes and lives with you for a while because you may be able to help her and she will be away from her bullies?" My mom suggested. When I was about to answer we all noticed Ellie standing in the doorway.
