Saved // a Demi and 5H story

Start

"Alex Lovato get yourself up and ready for the day!"

I heard Demi's voice shortly before a pillow hit my shoulder. I groaned and rolled over in bed. I was exhausted, and I had gone back to bed after Demi had made me have breakfast, staying with me the whole time.

"I've been sitting watching you sleep and I WANNA DO SOMETHING!" Demi practically shouted.

I groaned again and rolled over even more, and my heart leapt to my throat as I suddenly fell off the bed. I heard Demi break out in laughter, and I pulled myself up and smoothed my hair back.

"I'm pretty sure that a mom isn't supposed to laugh when her daughter falls off a bed."

Demi forced a straight face on, and turned towards me, "my dearest daughter, are you okay? I am concerned because I just witnessed you fall off of a bed." Demi said with mock seriousness, and I broke out into laughter with her. She was hilarious when she was trying to be serious.

"I'm fine mother. Don't get your panties in a twist." I said as I grabbed a pair of skinny jeans, a flannel and a tanktop.

"I'm going to get ready for the day like you want me to." I said as I headed towards the bathroom.

"Okay. But I'm gonna be just outside the door so no tricks."

I nodded and closed the door behind me. The tricks Demi was referring to was cutting or staring at myself in the mirror or any variety of the sort. My thoughts began to drift towards dark things, and soon enough I was standing in front of the mirror, throwing insults at myself in my head. My thighs, stomach and everything was fat. So, so fat, and I absolutely hated how I looked. I felt my eyes tearing up as I thought about how I would never be thin, not with Demi making me eat. I would always be ugly and disgusting. The urge to cut got stronger, and I was about to start scratching at my scars when I heard Demi's voice.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah." I lied, slipping on my clothes,  I did my hair, makeup brushed my teeth and opened the door. Demi's eyebrows shot up.

"Hey, I'm not stupid, something was going on in there." Demi said as she gestured to the bathroom.

"Nothing was. I'm fine." I lied again, and I think I said it a little to aggressively, because she wrapped her arms around me and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you and you're perfect, okay? Don't listen to all the meanies in your head." She said as she poked my head and smiled.

"Okay."

"There's my girl! Let's go meet up with the girls, we have some fun plans today."

I followed Demi out of the bus, and we walked over towards the girls' bus. We had traveled for a while last night, and then had pulled over at a rest stop to sleep and rest. Demi knocked on the bus' door.

"Come in!" Some one yelled from inside, and we opened the door. I saw the girls sitting around a little table, playing some sort of card game.

"Okay guys let's go." Ally said as she got up, putting her cards on the table.

"Hold on I'm about to beat you all! Normani yelled as she yanked Ally back down. "Sit yourself down!"

"Cause you know you gonna stay!" Camila yelled, finishing the lyrics from one of their songs.

"UNO!" Normani yelled as she threw down a card on the table. "I won! I won! I beat y'all!"

She got up from the table and did a victory dance.
