My Sister Saved My Life (Demi Lovato Fanfic)

Why Are You Here? -3-

"You need to leave. I don't know who you are, but it's obvious Kenz doesn't want yo-" I cut her off.

"Demi, stop. It's not that I don't want him here. I just don't know why the hell he decided to come back now. So, Tyler," I say turning back to him, "Why the hell are you here?"

"I missed you K. I made a mistake when I left my little sisters alone with those bastards. Kenz, please let me explain" he pleaded. I looked at Demi giving her the 'what the hell do i do now?' look. She just shrugged.

"I can't. Not right now, Ty. You hurt me way too much. I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive you. Pleae leave. It's better this way. I'm sorry." I say walking out of the office, my spurs making my exit more noticeable to the few kids in the hallway. With Demi right on my heels, we made our way to the parking lot.

"Kenz, who was that?" Demi asked as she sat on the tailgate of my truck. Hopping up next to her, I took a deep breath.

"My brother, Tyler. I haven't seen him in 5 years. He moved out and that's when the abuse started. My parents hated that I was the youngest. I was constantly in trouble and they didn't like it. I was acting out in class and I once set my friends hair on fire. I was a bitch. My brother was my rock. I've hated him since the day he left. " I said. I didn't even realize I was crying until she brushed away my tears with her thumb.

"I'm so sorry baby girl. No one deserves to be treated like that. How about we go home, change into pj's and watch a movie? Maybe order some pizza?" she says with a smile. I know pizza is her favorite.

"I'm up for a night in. You can order yourself some pizza, I'm lactose intolerant. I'll just find something at home." I say with a sad smile. I miss pizza so much. I only have it like once a month.

"You sure? I don't need pizza, we can do something else?" she says. She's trying, it's so cute. I just smile at her and shake my head.

"Nope, you wanted pizza. What Demi wants, Demi gets." I pull her off the tailgate, close it up, and tell her to meet me back at my house with the pizza. I need some time to myself before she spends the night. No, not like that. Keep your head out of the gutter. I'm just gonna get a quick release, then clean the house a little.

I get home is 10 minutes, thank god for back roads and shortcuts. I quickly make my own pizza which will take about an hour and a half cause of my weird-ass ingredients, then clean up the house. When I'm done, I hop in the shower. I think about today, mainly seeing Tyler again. I slowly reach for the blade behind my shampoo bottle. I know I shouldn't, but I need to. 'I'm sorry Demi ' I think as I make at least 7-9 medium sized cuts. I didn't really count because I was in a hurry to get out and see Demi. I need to talk to her about Tyler and Mark though. I think I'll do that before the movie.

I get out of the shower, making sure I've stopped bleeding, and dry off. I get changed into a long sleeved black marching band shirt from this year - yes I'm in marching band, don't judge. and a pair of sweat pants. I throw my hair up in a messy bun when I hear the door bell. Shit, she's early.

I run downstairs to get let her in. I need to make her a key tomorrow. I help her get the pizza to the kitchen, cut mine, put half of it in the fridge for tomorrow. We eat, then move to the living room. Here it goes. I gotta tell her some time, might as well be now.

"Hey Dem, can I talk to you?" I ask shyly.

"Sure babe. What's on your mind?" she asks. Cutting. i instantly think. "Stop thinking about that. You're stronger then that. Don't hurt yourself just because others are jealous." she says. Shit I need to stop thinking out loud.

"Anyways, I wanted to finish our conversation that was so rudely interrupted by my asshole of an ex-boyfriend. Mark was close to my family. He never knew what went on when he wasn't here though. He knew I cut, He'd caught me doing it a few times. I don't know where we went wrong, but he started getting drunk. Like a lot. I never knew why. I asked him once, he yelled at me telling me to mind my own business. Then he did something I'd never imagine him ever doing. I slapped me in the face. Hard. I was stunned. He immediately apologized, but I knew better. I left. I still haven't forgiven him, but we were on better terms. Until he did it again, and again. I finally ended it before I came home. Hence why he was so angry when he showed up." I stopped, looking up at Demi. I knew I had to tell her I cut, I just didn't know how. "Uh Demi? There's one more thing. I-" she already knew.

"You cut. I know. I could tell as soon as I saw you. It's okay. I'm going to help you get better." she said. "Uh Kenz? I have something I need to tell you. I'm not sure how you're going to react though. So." she stopped, pulling me into a tight hug. "Now, if you don't like the news, you can't go cut. It's the first step to recovery." she looked me in the eye. It's time. "Kenz, I'm you're sister." she said.

I sat there for a second, letting it sink in. Then elbowed her, getting out of her grip. I ran out the door, grabbing my phone on the way, to the backyard where we kept the four wheeler's and horses. I grabbed my four wheeler and drove off into the night. I'd text Demi before I got home. What the hell just happened? I think as I ride off to my spot. I need to clear my head.
