No Escape. (Demi Lovato FanFiction)

Chapter 17: T-Bone & Sneaker.

Demi watched as Devon pouted like a child, making her remember every memory from her and Devon when she was little. She had been locked outside after the swimming pool incident, making her last and Sabrina and Demi laughed behind the glass door while she frowned.

"It's not funny, I'm cold." Devon shivered while Sabrina only laughed, "Please?" Devon's big brown eyes pulled Demi in and she couldn't help but give in to her. Demi never gave into anybody but when it came to Devon she couldn't help it, yep, her sister had already gotten her wrapped around her little finger without even knowing it.

"Fine, but you still have to go get take out!" Demi grinned but was cut off by the front door opening in the other room and loud chatter come through making Devon frown. She hated getting to know these people never mind more of them? Demi noticed and unlocked the door allowing Devon back in and stand beside Sabrina.

"Devon? Sweetie..." Diana's voice trailed of as she searched the house for Devon while her whole family was entering in the other room. Devon unsurely turned her head to face Demi, a warily expression on her face making Demi sigh as her sisters nervousness. Reminding herself that Devon only needed to become comfortable around the whole family before she'd enjoy every minute of it, and they've got two weeks of making that happen.

"Would I ever let you meet somebody who wanted to hurt you? They're all family, I've known them all my life. They already know a lot about you, I promise it'll be okay." Devon nodded her head, trusting her older sister. "Oh, and we need to talk about all of the poems you wrote." Realisation crossed Devon's expression but before she could respond Demi pulled her into the room where so many people awaited.

"She's here but I think she needs to change?" Demi giggled remember her younger sister and her fighting to be first out of the pool while Sabrina already rushed out, not wanting to head out.

"Oh my, look at her. She's so grown up I can't recognise her anymore. My little Lovato." Devon instantly recognised the woman, it was her aunt Katherine. She was her moms sister and remembered how many times she'd allow Devon to have more freedom than her mom or dad did.

Weird how I could remember my aunt but not my own mother, well I had some memories of her. Not good ones at least.

"Little Lovato, huh, I remember you." Devon blurted, her eyes scanning the room while her moms eyes widen in jealousy. She remembered her? After her eyes were off her aunt they finally land on the boy who was staring at her in shock.

With a grin Devon said, "T-Bone. You got adopted as my cousin?" A smirk making its way to his face as he rushed into her embrace, Devon always had looked after him as a child when they were placed in foster care together. His name, Israel and Devon knew that but when he first spoke up in 5 years were the words to Devon in foster care.

Flashback-- 8 years ago.

"Devon Lovato, 7 years old. She's been placed back in foster care while her father is under arrested for child abuse." The woman at the desk smiled down at Devon, a sympathetic smile making her frown as her big brown eyes stared up in confusion at the woman while holding her hand.

It was Devon's social worker, she'd been with Devon ever since she was 4 years old when first placed in there. Even though Devon was took in and out of foster care as police couldn't find any evidence against her father or sometimes her father would be gone for days or even months sometimes ( this time, police took him in again) then she'd be their.

"Hello again beautiful, your going to be just fine here. Hey! There's a new kid, he's upstairs in his room. Maybe you wanna talk to him? He's 6 a bit shy unlike you." Devon only shrugged, she'd learn by her father never to tell social workers or police anything and if she did she'd be in bigger trouble by her dad.
