Saved // a Demi and 5H story

New Place

ALEXS POV

I ran up the stairs and into the bedrroom. I dragged my old suitcase out from under the bed and opened it.I looked inside and saw the pictures of my parents. I don't know why I still had them. A shiver went down my spine. My mom and dad had abused me everyday. They would get drunk and then beat me. I had lots of scars of my stomach and back from glass from beer bottles that were thrown at me.

*Flashback*

"No please!" I screamed. My dad kicked me in the shin and pinned me up against the wall. He smiled his twisted smile and my mom came over with two empty beer bottles. She smirked and raised the bottle, bringing it down on my stomach. The glass broke, sending the pieces into my stomach. I screamed in pain and tried to run, but my dad was too strong.

"Shut up brat!" Roared my dad.
"You are so useless!" My mom screamed at me. Tears pricked my eyes.
My mom kicked my in the stomach, pushing the glass shards deeper into my skin. I bit my lip to keep myself from screaming. Tears started streaming from my eyes as my mom and dad started beating me harder and yelling more insults at me. Finally my dad dropped me and they walked away, leaving me on the ground. Alone.

*End of flashback*

I clutched my head. Tears streamed out of my eyes. I shuddered at the thought of my parents. I remember when they dumped me here. Social services had found out what they were doing to me, so they weren't allowed to keep me. I was so happy to be away from them. The memories, flashbacks, nightmares and scars didn't leave though.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and put all of my clothes in my suitcase. I went into the bathroom and grabbed my toothbrush and hairbrush and placed them in my suitcase. I checked to make sure my blades were under my pile of clothes. I kept them hidden in a little box. I closed the suitcase and looked around my room. This would be the last time I would be here. I looked at the white walls and I was a little sad because this was where I escaped from my parents, but also glad because I wouldn't have to deal with Chelsea and her posse and Erin and Dan abusing me. I looked one last time at my bed, turned on my heel and walked out the door. I went down the creaky old stairs and suddenly someone grabbed my arm.

I whirled around and Chelsea, Maddie and Callie stood there, smirking. Uh Oh.

"So, your finally getting adopted, you fat, ugly, freak. I know Demi will just return you when she realizes how fat, ugly, stupid and worthless you are." Said Chelsea.
She kicked me in the knee, and it buckled. I stood back up and regained my balance.

"See you soon fatty." Said Callie. Chelsea and Maddie smirked and they walked away. Relief flooded through me. It could have been much worse.

I picked up my suitcase and walked to the front hall where Demi was standing.

"Ready?" She asked with a smile.
"Yeah." I said. Dan and Erin stood off to the side, staring at me. I shuddered. Demi put her arm around me and we walked out.

DEMIS POV

I was standing in the front hallway waiting for Alex. I had just finished signing the papers. All that was on her file was:

Alex Flynn
14 years old
Female

That was it. I didn't even know how she ended up here. I was curious, and I want to ask her once I gain her trust. I love Alex already, and I can't wait for her to be my daughter. I already changed her name to Alex Lovato!

ALEX'S POV

The orphanage door shut behind us and we walked down the front steps. It was the middle of fall, and the trees were golden and orange. We walked to Demi's car. She opened the trunk and I put my suitcase down and sat in the front seat with Demi. Demi started the car and we pulled out of the orphanage. I saw Erin and Dan standing in the window watching me. I made eye contact with Dan. I quickly turned away.

DEMIS POV

I saw Alex staring at the orphanage. She looked anxious. It was probably just because she was moving to a new home.

"How long have you been a Lovatic?" I asked her.

"Ever since Camp Rock." She replied shyly. She was so cute. Her brown hair and green eyes were beautiful. She was so skinny though. It worried me a little bit.

ALEXS POV

I looked out the window. I watched the trees whiz by. I was so tired. Last night my demons kept me up, cutting and purging. I leaned my head against the window. My eyelids grew heavy and closed without my permission. I snapped my eyes open. I couldn't fall asleep. I might look weird.

"Hey honey you can sleep." Said Demi with a smile. She was so beautiful and nice. I was fangirling inside. I smiled and closed my eyes again.

* ONE HOUR LATER *

I felt a hand on my shoulder. My instincts took over and I stiffened and my eyes snapped open. I never am really comfortable with people touching me, because of all the abuse.

"Hun were here!" Said Demi with a smile.

"Ok!" I said. Me and Demi got out of the car and I grabbed my suitcase out of the trunk. I looked up at the house.

Oh my god. It was huge. My jaw dropped.

"Don't catch any flies in there Alex." Demi said gesturing to my mouth with a grin.

"Sorry your house is just so giant and beautiful!" I said shyly.

"It's our house now!" Said Demi grinning."

"C'mon i'll show you around!" Said Demi. She took my hand and began leading me up the driveway. I was nervous and exited at the same time. I was exited because I was with Demi Lovato, my idol who saved my life. I was nervous because I knew Demi would just return me and I really want her to like me. I just hope she doesn't find out about my issues.
