Krystal's POV 🐇🐱

Hi, my name is Krystal and im Demi's daughter. People think im adopted because I have blonde hair and she has brown. Well im not adopted. Anyways im 9 years old and I love bunnies and kittens! I love music...like who doesnt? Demi says I talk like a 12 year old..whatever that means.

Right now im sitting in my room, on the window seat thing and staring out to our garden. I used to play out there..but now im scared Demi will be mad if I do. Instead I just sit here and think about the birthday parties, christmas parties, halloween parties that was all celebrated in our back yard.

When I was 3, I went to the outside to the backyard one morning to play. I did tell Demi but she didnt hear me so she came storming out and started yelling at me to come back inside. Once I did I recieved a smack on my bottom and was told to always let her know if im going outside incase I get hurt and she wouldnt hear me call.

It only got worse after that.. I noticed she started stressing out about something and I wanted to ask whats wrong, but then she told me that its all my fault. I cant remember everything she said but I did get the words "boyfriend" and "breakup" whatever those meant. I still dont know why I was to blame for it. All i did was say hi to this tall man and he looked at me in shock.

Later on at the age of 4. Demi started hitting me a lot and to this day I still dont know why. When I was 5 she started slapping me in the face.. She threw stuff at me.. She yelled at me.. I had a lot of bruises. Last year I walked into Demi's bathroom while she was sleeping and found a razor blade in her shower. Good thing she doesnt know I have it or even used it...I didnt use it that much.

Anyways every day in those 5 years was hell...I barely slept, I barely ate, I still barely talk, and never outside my bedroom unless I am told to. I mean like, I know Demi is trying to be a better mother to me but why now? After 5 long years, now she wants to change? Its just hard to believe it. She keeps apoligising when I cry because thats when I get flashbacks or nightmares. Whenever im scared I cover my eyes with both my hands and if Demi notices she runs over to me, but sometimes she forgets that if she touches me I flinch. She always needs to let me know that she is going to touch me. If I still flinch she would try and sing to let me know that everyhing will get better. Even if im not scared after, I still doubt it will get better, and that she wants to change.

'Im thirsty', I thought to myself before standing up on my feet and started walking to my bedroom door. I slowly open it and immidiently heard the tv talking. 'Demi is probably watchimg crime shows, or just something', i thought before stepping outside the bedroom. I slowly tip toed downstairs to the kitchen.

I grabbed a plactic cup amd filled it with water before putting it to my lips so I cant sip the water. "Hey sweetheart!" I heard a very familiar voice say from right behind. I quickly turned around to see who it was. Demi.

'She must have heard me pouring the water', I thought. ".........hi", I said sounding a bit scared. I noticed Demi's smile being replaced with a frown. 'Oops did I cause that. I dont mean to..', My head fell to the floor since the guilt took over.

I heard her come closer and kneed down infront of me. She let me know that she is gonna put her hand on my shoulder. I let her. She tried telling me yet again how sorry she is from what she put me through and that it will never happen again. I dont believe her. She pulled me in for a hug which made me smile. A tiny bit. "I love you babygirl", she whispered in my ear. All I did was tensing up hearing those words.
