Invisible (Alex Lovato 2)

Chapter 3

Demi's POV:

Wilmer holds my hand as we walk into Alex's room. I break into tears when I see her broken, lifeless looking body. My legs propel themselves to where I want to be most, near my baby girl.

I try to memorize her face as this is going to be the last time that I'll see it. Her face is so much different than it was earlier today. Her face is now marred with cuts and bruises covering her once flawless face.

"Alex, baby girl, I know you probably can't hear this but I want to talk to you. Say my goodbyes. I never would have dreamed that I would have to say my goodbyes so soon. Alex I'm going to miss you. But it's your choice. If you want to hold on and wake up, I'm all for that. But if you want to leave me and let go, that's fine too." I say.

I grab her hand and hold on tight. I never want to let go. I want her hand to always be warm, her heart to keep beating, her veins pumping blood to where she needed it, and her lungs getting air.

I bury my head in Wilmer's shoulder. The tears flow freely now. "Wilmer, I-I-I don't want Alex to die. Tell me she's going to be alright?" My voice is choked by my sons but he still seems to understand.

"She's going to be fine Hermosa. And if she isn't, you still have me, and your family to stay with you, and we're not leaving for a long time." Wilmer says.

I just bury my head even deeper into his shoulder. I can feel his chest moving up and down, his heart beating. Alex won't be like that in a couple of hours. That thought cause me to sob even harder.

Wilmer shifts closer to Alex and grabs her hand. He grabs my hand too.

"Alex, I know I wasn't in your life very long, but I feel like I was your Dad. I care about you a lot. I don't know how I'm going to deal with my baby girl leaving me. It hurts me even now. But I don't want to make this about me, because this is about you. Just try to pull through this. You're strong. But if you leave, then you made an impact in all of our lives. Alex, I'm here for you." Wilmer says.

Then Zayn, Alex's husband runs in followed by all of the Fifth Harmony girls.

"I left my tour as I heard what happened. How is she doing?" Zayn says.

"She's pretty beat up, but she's strong. She can pull through this." Wilmer says.

"We were trying to convince the lady at the front desk that we were Alex's cousins. But since she's famous, and we're famous, she obviously knew that we weren't related." Camila says.

"How did you get up here if the lady wasn't letting you?" Wilmer says.

"Well, we got a little help from Zayn. Even that lady knew that he is Alex's husband. When he walked through the door, we asked him for backup, and he convinced that lady that we were Alex's family." Lauren says.

"Thank you Zayn!" Ally says.

The other girls chime in with their thanks too. Then my parents come in with Maddy, Dallas, Marissa, and Bea Miller. They all look serious for once. Usually when we get together, we never stop laughing. But now, we aren't. We are all sharing our sorrow.

"Mommy!" I manage to say through my tears.

"Yes Demi?" Mom says.

"I'm so scared, mommy. I don't want my baby to die. What do I do?" I say.

"Deep breaths. In and out. Slowly. There you go. Try to calm down Demi. You still have us and you have your grandchildren to think about." Mom says.

When I calm down, Marissa embraces me. "So, what have you and Wilmer been doing?" Marissa says.

"We've been saying our final goodbyes to Alex. Do you want to say goodbye to her?" I say.

Zayn says, "Sure. Alex, I miss you already. I miss your smile, your sarcasm, your eyes, how you would randomly burst out into song. Alex, I've been in love with you since the day I first met you. I can't even dream of having to part with you. But it seems that I have to let you go too soon. Goodbye Alex."

"I remember our movie nights that just you and I used to watch. I would always ask to watch scary movies, and I would get freaked out. You would comfort me and let me sleep in your room because I can't sleep alone after watching scary things. I'm gonna miss you. Goodbye Alex." Maddy says.

"Hi baby. When you were younger, you would hang on my leg and ask me to pick out your clothes. We were very close, so I'm going to miss you're comforting presence. Goodbye Alex." Dallas says.

"So Alex, I miss you, and I will always have a special place for you in my heart as my first grandchild. Goodbye." Mom says.

"Hi Alex. It's me, Camila. Listen, I consider you one of my best friends. I can confide in you. You are the only person I trust with my secrets. Who am I supposed to tell them to now? Bye Alex."

Camila bursts into tears. Her sobs wrack her whole body. Lauren consoles her.

"Hey Alex, it's Bea. I remember you, Maddy and I would always hang out together when we were younger. You and I would try to do aerial things and fail miserably while Maddy always kicked our asses. I'm going to miss you. I just want you to know that I think of you, Demi, Dallas, and Maddy as my sisters. Bye Alex." Bea says.

Everyone else takes turns saying our goodbyes. They're all crying. We form a group hug and just stand there. I feel like I am surrounded with love. I am so proud to be a part of this family. Yes I consider all these people my family and yes I am aware that means that I have a very large family. And I love all of them.
