The Other Lovato

-7-

•Kelci•

I got picked up from school a couple hours ago by Demi and since getting home I've just been in my room. I haven't really done much other than lay around and think. Although I have been trying to sleep because I feel oddly drained but I can't seem to stop my thoughts from racing long enough to actually get to sleep.

——

"Hey, wake up sleepy girl. Dinners almost ready"Demi says as she slightly shakes me awake.

"What time is it?" I ask as I rise from my bed stretching

"Just gone 6. How you feeling?"

"I'm okay now I think"

"You sure?" She asks as she takes a seat with me.

"Yeah. Today was just weird!"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really. There isn't much to talk about I don't even know why happened honestly it was odd"

"Okay. That's fine I won't force you to talk about it but if you ever want to you know where I am. You feeling better now though yeah?"

"Yeah mostly. I still feel kinda off but it's not as bad as it was"

"That's good I'm glad. But if it happens again kel you need to say something sooner. We don't want you going to school upset!"

"I know but it's just weird. I don't know what to say cause I'm not sick and saying 'I can't go to school today because I feel shitty and just want to cry' is dumb"

"It's not dumb at all though Kelci. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. It's okay to need a break"
