Being a Lovato was never easy

Chapter 15

Ellie's Pov
I can't believe what I'm about to do right now. As I started to go to Mads room because I figured that's where Demi would be, I was contemplating what to tell her and if I really am ready to talk about it.

I finally got to the door and I was getting second thoughts but it was too late as Demi just walked out.

"Hey Ellie I was just coming to check on you." she said when she saw me standing there.

"I wanted to tell you why I couldn't talk to Wilmer earlier." I said nervously.

"Well how about we go into your room and have a chat about it yeah?" she suggested, but I could only nod as I didn't trust my voice.

We slowly made our way to my room and I started to get even more scared of telling Demi because she could hate me even more than she already does. Or she could judge me and always look at me like I'm disgusting.

I was panicking so much that I was beginning to struggle breathing, my hands were getting really sweaty and I was starting to feel faint. I think Demi noticed coz she instantly wrapped her arms around me and guided me to my bed.

"Ellie you need to breathe ok, just copy my breathing and focus on my voice nothing else." she was telling me as a method to calm me down, it was working because I was slowly getting back to normal.

"Do you want to tell me what all that was about?" she asked sympathetically.

"I was starting to think about what your reaction is going to be after a tell you and how you will treat me when you find out." I said shamefully.

"You never have to be worried about telling me anything I won't judge you. If anyone has hurt you in anyway then you have to tell me straight away and we will deal with them the correct way." her telling me this wasbgetting me more anxious for telling her what happened.

"What happens if somebody had hurt me and I never told you and it's mentally scared me to the point that I now have nightmares?" I asked too scared to look up at my sister.

"Then you should have come to one of us so we could help you. Why is this the reason you couldn't talk to Wilmer?"

"Kinda, it isn't him exactly but it's just men in general though." I informed her.

"What happened? You're starting to scare me now." her voice was filled with fear and panic which was making me nervous about telling her because I've already scared her just by mentioning this to her.

"Well it happened about two years ago and I never told anyone because I was scared about what people would think and what the person said to me." I looked up to see her facial expression and at the moment she appeared to be scared and worried.

"Please go on." She practically begged you could tell how worried she is to find out the outcome.

"I was walking home from school after being beaten up by Amber and her crew. Me being the complete idiot that I am, decided I didn't want to go the normal route home, instead I went through the alley ways which wasn't wise as it was also getting really dark." I had to stop what I was saying because it was beginning to get to overwhelming and I knew if I continued that I'd just break down into tears infront of Demi.

DEMI'S POV
I was starting to worry about what Ellie was talking about. When she stopped telling me I knew it was getting too overwhelming for her, so I moved closer to her and wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her onto my lap.

"Take your time ok. Don't rush it if it is too much for you to handle at once." I tried to reassure her.

"No I have to tell you or I will never have the courage to tell you it." she explained to me even though you could tell she is on the verge of tears.

"Ok then go on."

She took a deep breathe before she continued."I believed that I was the only one in the alley....but I was so wrong about that. There was this man that was hard to tell what he looked like because there was no light, I started to freak out so I started to walk faster but when I did that so did the man. Every direction I went he followed. I was getting restless because I didn't have any food that day which gave the person a better advantage. He had me in a firm grip to the point I couldn't move....I felt so defenseless and.....and there was nothing I could do to sop him." that was all she was able to say before she broke down into tears clutching onto my top.

I moved my hand up and down on her back to comfort her, I didn't even want to imagine what she went through and still goes through. She didn't need to tell me the rest of what happened because I was already able to figure it out.

"I am so sorry for the way I acted I should have thought that there was a logical reason as to why you wouldn't talk to him. But I can promise you that Wilmer would never do anything like that so you don't need to be scared around him." I looked down to check her as her breathing steadied out.
"Just think after tomorrow me and you will be getting on a plane to go to LA which may be what you need to get the fresh start that you really do deserve." when I told her that a smile was starting to creep onto her face and she threw her arms around me.

"Thank you for not judging me and letting me explain what happened without going all crazy on me." for the first time ever I felt like we really have a normal sister relationship.
