My Sister Saved My Life (Demi Lovato Fanfic)

You Make Me Strong -18-

I woke up the next morning to someone's phone going off, it was Kassidy's. Dallas had her arms around my waist, Demi had hers around Kassidy's, Maddie must've gone to her room. I picked up a pillow and threw it at Kassidy, she shot up immediately, flipping me off. I giggled. 

"Answer your damn phone. I'm tired and it woke me up." I told her. 

She picked it up and walked into the bathroom. I was about to fall back asleep when I heard Kass yelling at whoever was on the phone with her. I nudged Dallas, waking her up. I told her to be quiet, and she asked what was going on. 

"Not sure, Kassidy's phone was ringing so she took it to the bathroom. Now she's yelling at whoever it is." I replied. 

Kass came out of the bathroom in tears. 

"What's wrong baby girl?" I asked, pulling her on to my lap, still leaning on Dal. 

"They're sending me early. I leave in an hour." 

I stared at her in shock. She wasn't supposed to leave for two weeks. 

"It's okay Kass, you're going to be okay. Let's get Demi up so I can take you home." She gave me a weird look. "Mom doesn't want me driving alone. not sure why though." 

Kass laughed loudly, waking Demi up. We changed quick and drove Kass back to her house. We got to Kassidy's house in about 20 minutes and all the tears I had been holding back, came rushing out. I clung to Kass as long as I could, but Demi pulled me off so Kassidy could go pack. It should be me, I should be the one going to treatment, not Kassie. I finally calmed down and Demi started driving. I didn't know where we were going, but I knew she'd try to cheer me up. I wasn't paying attention, so I didn't know what was going on until I heard my door open. I looked away from the dashboard and met his brown eyes and goofy smile. She brought me to Mark's. I flashed him a fake smile and got out of the car. He picked me up and spun me around, causing me to giggle. 

"Heyy kiddo. Demi said you were a little down. What's wrong tiger?" I smiled. A real one. He's called me tiger ever since he saw me get really angry and said I looked like a tiger. 

"Kass got sent to treatment two weeks early. I'm lost without her. She was my rock. What am I gonna do without her Mark?" I don't cry. All my tears are gone, I just clung to Mark like a koala bear. 

"You'll be okay tiger. I know it. You've got me, your family, Heather, and Kev. We'll help you get through this. It's going to be hard, but I've been there, and I'll be by your side until she gets out. I promise. I love you tiger." Mark said, kissing my temple. 

"I love you too big bear. I'm glad I finally got to meet you, Marky" I giggled at the frown he had on his face. 

Demi and I spent a few more hours at Mark's, just watching movies and talking. We got home and I was in a way better mood. I got home, went upstairs and lied down. and took a nap. I woke up a few hours later to Dallas watching The Hunger Games in my room. 

"Uhm Dal? Whatcha doin?" i asked, sitting up and putting my head on her shoulder. 

Wrapping her arm around me, she replied. "Watching The Hunger Games." I giggled. 

"No shit Sherlock, but why in my room?" 

"Mom told me to come up here and check on you, then I saw The Hunger Games sitting on top of the DVD player so I watched it. I love this movie too ya know." Dallas said. 

We watched the ret of that, plus four other movies. We had a really nice talk about random things. We played never have I ever, truth or dare, and rock paper scissors. I'd had a really good day considering everything that's happened today. We had dinner then I was on Twitter until like four in the morning. I fell asleep around 4:15, after Mark and Kevin texted me out of the blue. 

*Later After Kenz Wakes Up*

"Kenzie get up!" Mads yelled, hitting me with a pillow. 

"I'm up kiddo, what do you need?"

"You got a letter in the mail from Kassidy. I figured you'd wanna read it before Dems got to it." Mads replied, handing me a letter. 

"Thanks Maddie. Can you go get Dal and Demi, I gotta talk to them. And you, so keep that smile on your beautiful face kiddo." 

Maddie left the room, so I opened the letter. (I'm not gonna type the letter I got from a friend in treatment, so...sorry?) By the end of Kass' letter, I was crying. I read the last part out loud. 

"I love you McKenzie Logan Lovato. I wouldn't be alive without you. You make me strong." 

I smiled. That's our song. She remembered. I must've still been crying when the girls walked in, because I felt three pairs of arms wrap around me. 

"WE LOVE YOU KENZIE!" They all yelled after I stopped crying. I just laughed. 

"Hey, Dal?" I asked. 

"Yeah K?" 

"Can we have a girls day? All four of us?" I ask, pulling my puppy dog face. 

"Yeah, get dressed and I'll meet you guys downstairs in TEN MINUTES!" Dallas said, looking directly at Demi and I. We laughed. 

I threw on my favorite jeans, boots, a black tank top, and a blue flannel shirt. I grabbed my varsity jacket off the back of my door. I walked across the hall to Demi's room, and into her bathroom. I grabbed my brush, god knows why it was in her bathroom, and threw my hair up in a pony tail. 

"You should really leave your hair down K. It looks really pretty down." Demi said from the doorway. 

"Jesus Christ Demi! Don't do that. We gotta get downstairs before Dallas kills us.' I said, pulling her out the door and downstairs. 

"Why don't you wear your hair down Ken?" Demi whispered, walking out to the car with me. 

"Can I tell you later?" She nodded. 

We went to the mall and shopped all day, then went bowling. I kicked their asses. I didn't get Varsity two years in a row for nothing. We went out for pizza afterwards, acting like teenagers. Well Mads and I actually are teenagers, but Demi and Dal are in their 20s. We pulled into the driveway and my phone went off. I pulled it out of my varsity jacket. 

Text Message From Aly Bear.<3

Nicky is gone. I'll call you tomorrow with the funeral arrangements. I'm sorry. Stay Strong baby girl. 

I dropped my phone and ran to my room. I locked the door, put on some music, and got on twitter. 

MADE THESE UP!!

"@adamtheweirdo: R.I.P. Nick. We'll always love you buddy."

"@katycat98: R.I.P. Nick. #93 forever and always."

I decided to tweet from my laptop since I think Dallas has my phone. 

@kllovato: It's snowing, Nick's way of telling us he got up there safe. You'll always be my nightingale Nick. I love you forever and always. I made you strong, now you gotta make me strong bud. #93 - I'll get them to retire it in your honor buddy.<3"

I cried for a few minutes, but I knew this was coming. Nightingale started playing, but I was lost in my thoughts. The last thing I felt was someone wrap their arms around me before I fell asleep.
