A Beautiful Disaster

Chapter 34

Demi's pov.

I got assigned to a bunk. I slowly walked in, finding a younger woman.
"Hello", I said softly. "Oh shit. You're Demi Lovato!", she said getting up. I slowly nodded. "I'm sorry. I don't want to be one of those crazy fans. I'm   Grace", she said reaching out her hand. I shook it.
"Well I'm Demi, but you know that already", I said giggling. She nodded.

I put my stuff on the bed.

"So why are you here?", she asked. "I uh, I killed someone", I said softly. Her eyes widened. "You? Killing? No way." I shrug my shoulders. "I was protecting my girlfriend. She could've been the one who got killed if I didn't do anything", I said. She nodded. "It's cool. We all committed a crime. No one will judge you."

"What did you do?", I asked as I sat down. "Drugs and violence", she said. "I had a rough childhood. So I started doing drugs and then I started selling it." "At such young age?", I asked. She nodded. "I'm 19. I've been here for a year. 2 more to go."

There was a loud noise.

"What's that?", I asked. "Dinner! Let's go", she said pulling me with her.

On our way, people looked at me. I just tried to ignore it and went along with Grace.

We stood in line.

"That's Macy", she said pointing to a girl. "She's one of the coolest girls in here." I smiled. "So this isn't one of those prisons you see on tv?", I asked. "Far from it. It's not that bad here. No one is an enemy. We all get along and it's nice. I've never had this many friends outside these walls."

"Today it's mashed potatoes, peas and chicken", the lady said. She handed us our plates.

"Let's go", she said. We walked towards Macy. "Hey sexy", Grace said as she say down. Macy looked up and smiled. "Hey there."

"This is Demi. She's cool", she said. "Hi!", Macy said. "Please, sit down." I smiled and sat next to Grace.

"I know you", Macy said. "Of course you do. It's Demi Lovato!" Her eyes widened. "Does everyone here know me?", I asked. "Most of us", Macy said. I took a bite from my food.

We talked for a bit.

After a little while we were allowed to go outside.
I sat on the bench as the girls went to play basketball with everyone else.

"Hey Lovato! Don't you want to join us?", Macy said. I shook my head. "I'm not very good at basketball. Or any sport actually", I said. She giggled. "You can't be that bad. Come on." She grabbed my hand and pulled me with her.

"Throw me the ball!", Macy yelled. One of the girls did and she handed me the ball. "Now place your hand right her", she said moving my hand. "And your other hand right there."

She stood behind me and held my arms.

"Now pull in your arms, aim and throw", she said moving my arms.

It hit the board, but it didn't get in the hoop. "See? Not that hard, right?", she asked. I smiled. "Are you in?" I sighed and nodded.

"I pick Demi!", Macy said. "Fuck you. I saw her first", Grace said. I laughed. "Well we can be in the same team."

They both looked at me. "We don't play together. We compete against each other", Grace said. I held up my hands. "I'll take that back then. I don't mind which team I'm in."

Macy pulled me towards her and wrapped her arm around my waist. "My team", she said. A quick smile appeared on my face by her touch.

"Your team it is", I said.

Grace threw me the ball. "Let's play then", she said.
