"Uhm..guys, I was hoping to do this another night, but this is Danielle, my niece. Well, adopted niece." Naya said.

"Oh we know Dani. Pretty well actually." Demi said.

"In fact, Dani here, was the reason behind my meltdown in the bathroom during dinner." I stated, moving in front of Demi, just in case.

"Just hear me out, please babe. I'm so sor-"

"Do not call me babe. You lost that right when you walked out of my room earlier today." She hops off the tailgate and reaches for my arm, "Don't fucking touch me. I'll be in the house Dem, please make her leave." I say, before walking into the house.

I walk into the house, ignoring the people in the living room, and going straight to my room. I grab my phone and click on her name. She picks up after two rings.

"Kenzie?"

"Hey HeMo. You got a minute?" I ask, trying to hold in the tears.

"Do you need me to come to Demi's?"

I don't trust my voice, so I send a simple text. Yes

"Okay, I'll be there in five, stay strong Kenz. I'm getting in my car now."

She hangs up and the tears start falling. I know this feeling, and I can't stop what's coming next.

"I'm sorry Demi. I'm sorry HeMo. I'm sorry to everyone I promised that I'd stay strong. I can't do it anymore." I say, sitting in the corner of my bathroom, grabbing a razor then breaking it.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.

"I'm sorry."

"Kenzie, where are you?" I hear a panicked HeMo yell, coming into Demi's room.

"Bathroom Heath." I yell.

I didn't do them too deep, and I had more control than I thought. I was actually fine, and the bleeding was minimal.

"Oh my god, Kenzie, why? You're stronger than this babe." Heather said, I could hear the disappointment in her voice.

I shrugged. "Dani." 

"Who the hell is Dani? And why did he make you do this?" Heather asked, cleaning up my wrist.

I chuckled. "She's my ex girlfriend. The kid in the driveway, talking to Demi and Naya? Yeah, my ex."

"Oh. Hey, you don't need her. Let's get you to bed K." HeMo said, helping me up.

"No, I'm going to talk to Dani. Come with me, I'll need you to hold me back." I said, starting down the stairs.

We get to the door, but Heather stops me before opening it. She hands me her sweatshirt, I nod in response. I open the door and Demi is being held back by Naya. I just chuckle.

"Demetria Devonne Lovato! I know you're not trying to kill Naya's niece, you know better. Calm the hell down, I got this." I say.

Demi stops struggling, and just sits on the ground. Oh Dems. One of a kind. Now back to Danielle.

"Dem, don't freak out on me and please don't tell mom, Maddie or Dallas what I'm about to do." I wait for her to nod. She does. "Danielle, you may have hurt me. No scratch that, hell you almost killed me." I pull up the sleeve of HeMo's sweatshirt. "But I love you. Obviously I don't want to live without you. You have five minutes to explain yourself, then I'll decide what happens between us."

"Kenzie, I'm so sorry for what happened earlier, in your room and at the restaurant. I love you, no doubt about it. I was just scared. You told me you self harmed - it brought me back to the conversation I had with Naya when I told her I did. Kenzie, I use to self harm too. Hell, I use to purge on the rare occasions I ate. What I'm trying to say is - I know how you feel. I want to help you. Kenzie, I love you, I'm sorry, and I'm not giving up until you catch me. I believe in you, all you gotta do is show me how much of a warrior you are, and rise like a skyscraper baby. I know you're strong enough to beat this, I love you."
