I need help, Miss Lovato

Chapter 25

Demi

God I hated this already, leaving her in that place was just horrible, I know how my mom and dad felt when they put me into rehab now. Wilmer and Marissa had been trying to distract me all evening but I couldn't just forget about my daughter who was in the hospital possibly dying. At every sound I jumped, praying that it wouldn't be a phone call saying that she was really sick or she had passed out. I know I shouldn't focus on the bad but god all I can think is something bad is going to happen.

The phone began to ring and I immediately jumped up to get it, but Wilmer pulled me down onto his lap and Marissa went to get it

'what the fuck Wilmer? It could've been the hospital, there could be something wrong' I said hitting his chest, whilst tears began to roll down my cheeks

'Demi, baby, Demi I need you to calm down' Wilmer said rubbing my back

'fuck you, you have no idea, she could be dead Wilmer! God you don't know how it feels to be afraid of losing someone you love every waking moment of the day' I yelled

'I do Demi, that's how I felt when you were in rehab, Jesus Christ I was terrified Demi. I didn't want to pick up my phone in fear that something had happened to you' he yelled back at me. Marissa walked into the room with the phone in her hands, I immediately got off of Wilmer's lap and grabbed it out of her hands

'here Demi, it's for you' Marissa mumbled sarcastically

'Hello, Demi speaking' I said ignoring Marissa's comment

'Hello Demi, It's Ashlynn from the hospital' I felt my heart rate instantly start to pick up as the room started to spin, Marissa quickly grabbed me and sat me down

'is she dead?' I asked panicking

'no Demi, you need to calm down before I can proceed to give you information' I began to take deep breaths and Marissa helped calm me down

'okay' I breathed out

'I'm calm, now please continue'

'Lyric refused all food tonight, and the supplement so we ended up tubing her, she also refused to even make eye contact with Mandy' Ashlynn said, making my heart drop to my stomach, she must hate me right now

'please, let me talk to her' I begged, already knowing that they wouldn't

'Demi, we both know that wouldn't be helpful for Lyric right now' I sighed

'We need you to come in sometime tomorrow, to discuss a treatment plan'

'How does 6 sound? I can get her to eat dinner, I know I can'

'Demi, I'm not sure tha-' I was quick to cut her off

'please, please I know that I can get her to eat'

'fine, just this once Demi, only this one time' she sighed giving up

'tell her I love her please' I heard a light hum on the other side

'goodnight Demi'

'goodnight Ashlynn, don't forget to tell her I love her' she hung up and I burst into tears, Marissa wrapped her arms around my body

'Demi, Demi talk to me, tell me what's wrong' Marissa said

'She wouldn't eat, or acknowledge the presence of Mandy her psychologist'

'they tubed her Mar, and they won't let me speak to her'

'oh Dem, she's going to be okay'

'I want Dally' I sobbed

'Okay, Okay I'm calling her right now' Marissa grabbed her phone and clicked on Dallas's number. She then shot a worried glance towards me before walking out of the room. Wilmer hadn't moved from his seat and there was obvious tension from before when we had fought earlier. Luckily Marissa wasn't gone for long and she was back at my side comforting me

'Dems come on calm down' Marissa begged, rubbing my back

'Wilmer god damnit do something' Marissa yelled, Wilmer stood up and walked over to us

'no stay away, please stay away' I yelled backing away from him

'what the fuck did you do Wilmer?' Marissa yelled

'I didn't do anything' He yelled back, I moved into the corner and brought my knees up to my chest putting my hands over my ears

'stop yelling, please stop yelling' I screamed over their bickering, they stopped yelling and turned their attention to me

'Demi, are they?' Marissa asked concerned, I simply nodded and turned away from her sobbing into the wall

'Demi, baby? Demi, it's Dallas'

'Demi take your hands away from your ears' Dallas said grabbing hold of my hands

I turned around and faced Dallas burying my face in her chest, she pulled me into her embrace and kissed the top of my head.

'what happened?' Dallas asked whilst holding onto me

'she's in the hospital, she got too sick' I whispered, letting a sob out afterwards

'it'll be okay baby, she's going to be okay' Dallas pulled me up and dragged me to my bedroom

'come on, you have to teach tomorrow go to sleep' Dallas pulled off my shirt and put on my oversized Texas T-Shirt, then I pulled off my pants and laid down

'please Dally, I need you, please stay, I'm scared I'll do something' she looked at me concerned and pulled me into her embrace again

'do you have anything that you could hurt yourself with in your bathroom' I nodded

'Where?' I sighed, knowing that Dallas wouldn't be happy when she saw the blade

'Under the cabinet, it's taped there' she got off of the bed and walked to my bathroom. She returned with a blade in her hands

'we'll talk about this tomorrow, but you really need to sleep, is this it?' I nodded and she walked off to get a pair of pajamas out of my closet and got changed, she laid down next to me and wrapped her arms around me, I moved my head off of the pillow and onto her chest

'Dally?'

'yeah Dems?'

'thank you for coming'

'I'm always only a call away baby, I'd drop anything for you' a tear rolled down my cheek and dropped onto her skin

'what's wrong Dems?'

'they won't stop Dally, they keep telling me she's going to hate me' she began running her fingers through my hair, knowing that it calms me down

'you are stronger than them baby, you can get through this'

'but I don't feel strong Dally' the arm she had around me tightened and she kissed my forehead

'you are a warrior Dems, always have been, always will be, this is just a little bump in the road'

'can you sing to me?' I asked snuggling further into her

'of course babygirl' she sang 'Fly' to me and I slowly started to drift off

'sleep tight babygirl, I love you' Dallas whispered kissing my forehead again

'I love you more Dally' I whispered back
