Forever Mine

Chapter 1: Demi's Plan

DEMI'S POV
I toss and turn in my bed while trying to fight the urge. The urge to cut and stop feeling. I pull out my phone and quickly call my best friend, Marissa.

Please pick up. Please pick up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Marissa, please distract me."

"Not again, Demi."

"I'm sorry." I look at my feet, ashamed of my thoughts.

"Okay, just know, I am here for you."
"I know, I just can't get over the feeling." I think about about a year ago when I finally stopped purging and self-harming.

"I know! You need something to occupy your thoughts! To keep you busy."

"Like what?" I ask, sitting up and starting to find hope.

"How about..... You can adopt a dog?"

"No..... AHHHH!" I giggle as the perfect idea pops into my head.

"You okay, Dems?"

"Yeah! I'll talk later Marissa!"

I hang up before she responds and quickly jump back into bed. I try to fall asleep, but I'm overwhelmed by my brilliant plan.
I can't wait any longer!

I grab my phone and dial my manager.
"Hello? Are you okay Demi?" He asks in a groggy, yet concerned voice.

"Hell, yeah I am! I've got a great idea to keep the... Thoughts from taking over me!"

"You do know it's one in the morning, right?"

"Yeah..... Sorry sleepy head."

"Okay, what is it this time Demi?"

"Can I pleeeaaassse adopt a child?" I hold my breath.

"Are you out of your mind, Demi! The paparazzi will go insane!"

"I know-"

"Listen to me! Do you want everyone to think something happened between you and Wilmer?"

"No but-"
"Demi, please explain."

I roll my eyes and say what I've been trying to say, "I need something to restrain me from cutting and starving myself. Please Phil." I make my puppy dog eyes even though I know he can't see them.

"Whatever, Demi. Just stay away from paparazzi."

"Yay! Thank you, Phil!" I giggle and hang up.

Millions of possibilities swim through my head as I bound to my computer. I begin to search for a suitable adoption center.

"Yay!" I giggle as a decent looking orphanage pops up on my screen. I click on it.

"Sunny Side Up Orphanage for Girls." I read aloud.
I skip around my room and attempt jumping onto bed, but I fall on my ass.
"Shit.." I whisper as I get up, but I'm quickly excited again. Then nervousness fills me as I wonder if I'm a good mom. What if she hates me? What if she runs away? What if she starts.... Self harming?
I try to think happy thoughts though.Tomorrow I'm going to adopt!
