For the Love of a Daughter (A Demi Lovato Fan Fiction Book 1)

Not So Sweet 16

Years came and went Demi's mother passed away when Demi was only 12. Four years had passed since her mother's death and Demi was about to turn 16. Her life was normal despite the fact she was beaten almost every other night. She hid the briuses pretty well throughout her life and nobody had found out yet. Her father had not only beaten her but raped her as well. She could never give the man she married her gift because the man they would call her father took it from her when she was 10. 

"Hey Demi!" said her best friend Evangeline. 

"Hey!" she said, trying to seem excited! 

"Look what Daddy got me for my sweet 16!" she said and dangled a set of keys in Demi's face. Demi wasn't expecting anything from her father for her birthday. Even Evangeline was not aware of what went on behind closed doors at the Lovato household. 

"Cool! Let's see it!" Demi said and walked toward the doors of the school. She walked out the door and saw a shiny red Corvette. "Wow!" she exclaimed. "That's amazing!"

"I know right?!" she screamed. "Now we can go anywhere we want!"

"Right.." Demi said, not convinced that her father would let her go anywhere. 

"Well, shouldn't we be off to cheerleading?" she asked. 

"I suppose we should." Demi's father forced her into cheerleading when she was little because he liked the way the uniforms looked. Demi was always on a strict diet she had never had a cheeseburger in her life. She and Evangeline walked to practice and started warm ups. 

After practice Evangeline drove Demi home. "I'll see you later hon!" she yelled and drove off. Demi walked slowly to the door knowing her dad was off work and his girlfriend was probably over. She walked into the house and hung her house key on the hook. She walked back to her room and put down her bag. The house seemed strangely quiet. She smelled candles and cooking. She walked into the kitchen and saw her dad and his girlfriend drinking wine and kissing. She gagged and walked out and sat down on the couch in the living room. She then remembered she had homework to do when suddenly her phone buzzed. Jason, the boy she loved but knew she could never be with. They were best friends even better friends than Demi and Evangeline. She walked back to her room and answered the phone. 

"Hello?" she said quietly.

"Hey, Demi, what ya doing?" 

"Just got home from practice, my dad and his she-devil are making out in the kitchen. Gross."

"That's disturbing. Things getting any better since she came around." Jason was the only one who knew anything about her abusive relationship with her father. 

"He doesn't bother me as much I guess. I just wish I could run away."

"Let's do it!" Jason said. Demi laughed.

"You're joking right?"

"No I'm dead serious." 

"My dad would find us and probably kill us both." 

"Well, you need to get out of there, I'm worried about you." 

"I can't, I just...I'm so afraid of him." 

"I know but sometimes you just have to face your fears and run."

"Well, I really need to go, I don't want my dad to catch me on the phone and interrogate you again like he did last week."

"Okay......I....never mind bye chick."

"Okay? Bye, Jason."

She put the phone on the charger and placed it on her night stand. Her dad came in while she had her headphones on so she didn't hear him. He placed his hand on her leg and she jumped.

"Oh! Hey, Dad." she said.

"Hey, I just came in to let you know Clarissa and I are going out of town until next Wednesday. I'm leaving you $100 for food, don't you dare eat that nasty fast food shit and no funny business while I'm away."

"Yes, sir," she said frightened. He smiled, something Demi hadn't seen in a while and closed the door behind him as he walked out, he never did that. She went to sleep quickly that night and awoke the next morning bright eyed and bushy tailed.

She jumped out of bed and took a shower. She walked down stairs grabbed some yogurt and a red solo cup of orange juice and walked out the door to see Jason in his blue convertable Mustang. She jumped in the car and told him all about last night. 

"He didn't do anything?" 

"No, and he's gonna be out of town for over a week!"

"So, I can come over some then?"

"Yes! You can and I'm so excited for you to!" Today was her birthday and she didn't care that her father forgot. Him being gone was gift enough for her birthday. 

The school day zoomed by as well as practice. She walked in the house and smelled chili, something her dad used to make when he was sobre and happy. She walked into the kitchen. 

"Hey, Dad."

"How was cheer practice?" he asked, he never asked about school or anything else but if her grades started to slip he's beat her. 

"It was good." she said. 

"Happy birthday," her  Dad said. 

"Th.....thanks.." she didn't know what to think about him saying that to her. 

He reached out his and and in it were keys. "Wha..what are these to?" she asked. He had never given her a gift for her birthday. 

"Your new car. It's the newest model of Corvette even better than that friend of yours Evangeline's"

"Thank you Dad!" she said and hugged him. She hadn't hugged him in years. 

"I'll have to take you to get your licence tomorrow, so you'll have to miss school, but I'll write you a note."

She reached for the keys and he jerked away, "but this comes with a price." he said in his sinister voice which scared her. She knew there would be a visit to her room tonight. She walked upstairs and put on her pajamas. She laid awake knowing he would come soon. She heard the front door lock and her fathers footsteps on the hard wood stairs. 

Her door opened and she tensed up. He slid into her bed and started to rub up her legs to her most sacred body parts. She shivered in fear. He removed her clothes and touched her body all over. How a man could do this to his daughter she did not know, but she sat there quietly and didn't move, knowing that if she did she would get beaten.
