Life As A Cimorelli (On Hold for a while)

Chapter 3

Sorry that my chapters are short, but I think my next one is gonna be pretty long :)

Amy's POV

I was surprised when Lauren told me about Dani. I knew she was quieter than usual but I thought that maybe she was really tired or something. Some big sister I am. Can't dwell on that now, I gotta focus on helping Dan. She must be feeling really down right now, so I'll tell her about a time I felt down. Let's see... I have a ton of stories but there's one that I'm not too proud of. And since usually Dani doesn't show she's hurting at all, it must be pretty serious. So I guess I'll tell her about it. I fall asleep, nervous about tomorrow.

Dani's POV

My eyes flutter open when I hear someone whispering my name. I look up to see Amy shaking me slightly. "What is it Amy?" I groan, looking at the clock, "It's 2:37 in the morning!"

"Dani, I just wanted to talk to you is all." She replied.

Amy looks really serious right now, like something's bothering her, so I slowly stand up and stretch. "Fine Amy, but I'm assuming you wanna go somewhere else to talk?"

"Yes please."

We walk downstairs and open the slider. Then climb up the ladder into our treehouse. "So what's on your mind Ames?"


Amy's POV

Oh gosh, here it goes. I take a deep breath, "I haven't told anyone about this... But you know when Party In The USA got big?"

"Well duh, I didn't know whether to be happy and excited for you guys or sad because I wasn't part of it. Go on?"

"So there was a lot of hate, obviously, and at that point a ton of it was focused on me. It hurt so bad Dani," I started crying, remembering the pain, "I started uh... I started to think about bad things. I was thinking about..."

I saw tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered, "Suicide."

I nodded sadly. Dani jumped on me and hugged me so tight I couldn't breathe. "Dan... Can't really... Breathe." I chuckle.

She unwraps her arms around me but holds onto my shoulders at arm length and looks into my eyes. "Amy, I don't care what anybody says about you. You are one of the best people in this whole world. Don't believe anyone who says any different, okay?" Dani says in a low voice.

I smile, "Thank you Dan."

We embrace again for support, we're both crying still. "Dani?"

"Yeah Amy?"

"If anything like this EVER happens to you, you know you can come to any of us right? Chrissy, Kath, Lise and LoLo would do anything for you, as would I. We love you Dani." I whisper into her ear.

She tenses for a second then relaxes a little. "I love you too Amy."

We walk back into the house and head to our own rooms and fall straight to sleep. Well I think she did, but I didn't. It felt really good to tell someone all of that, I've had it locked inside me for 4 years. I'll admit, I'm still kinda hurt that no one noticed but that doesn't matter anymore. All that matters is that I keep my sisters from ever thinking the same thing. I sigh, and shut my eyes.

Dani's POV

Amy... Amy had this problem too? But... No one noticed and she had to go through it ALONE?! I got so mad at myself that I punched my pillow. How could I not have noticed her so sad?!

Wait... She had to go through it alone. I bet she feels hurt that no one tried to help. Lisa and Lauren have kinda tried... Maybe Amy as well. Amy probably wishes that someone asked her what was wrong and tried to find out. She didn't get that chance, and I have that chance. I shouldn't waste it. I don't really wanna talk with anyone but for Amy, I will.

But considering she went through it alone for so long, I'm going to give myself exactly one week to try to do it on my own. Otherwise I'm going to ask someone to help. Who? Don't know yet, I'll figure that out when I'm not tired as heck.

-------------------
Probably isn't too entertaining yet, but I'm getting there, don't worry. And I haven't used Christina and Katherine's characters much yet but I promise I will soon. I haven't fully worked out how to use 6 characters with such complex personalities at the same time, cut me some slack yeah? ;)
