Nightingales (demi lovato fanfic)

Lost

Chapter 6

Elsa's POV

I opened my eyes which revealed that I was very lost. I had been here once before though. I'd run away from home and got here but when I realised I was lost I had an anxiety attack so I ran around like a headless chicken until I finallly found somewhere that was familiar and I slowly made my way home. When I got home I realised that no one had even noticed that I was gone missing for 5 hours so I tried to kill myslef. I pushed the memory back and focused on my even breathing. I crawled over to my bag which was thrown onto the floor near me. All I had was my pencil case and my work books. Fuck. I don't know where I am. My head was pounding and my lip was bleeding. "Shit." I said under my breath as I wiped the blood away from my lip. I stood up slowly and started walking down a path through the middel of the bush. The sun was going down and I could hear the insects getting quiter and the mosquitoes getting louder. There was a flat rock up ahead and I dicided that I would have to sleep there or atleast sit there all night. I walked over to the rock and flopped on to it. I pulled out my phone which only had 5% charge left. Shit. There was a messade from Lydia. I opened my phone and started reading through her message.

Hey els. Uhh I'm really sorry that I avoided you today but I think that's the way it has to be from now on. My sister crumbeled under bullies and I don'y want that to happen to me and I will get bullied if I hang around you. And also if I'm being completely honest, I agree with the bullies. You are a bit attention seeking and you never care when others are upset. It's all about you and I hate it! You're ugly and fat and I only pretended to be your friend because I thought you were like my sister. But you are nothing like my sister. She was so much stronger and prettier and she wasn't an attention seeking slut.

Trigger warning

My eyes watered as I read through the lines my breathing got heavier and sharper as my chest got tighter. I chucked my phone onto the rock and screamed. My eyes were blury from the tears and I pulled my pencil case out and took my sharpner out. My anger increased when I couldn't loosen theh screw to get the blade out and I screamed again. I cried louder than I'd ever cried befor and I couldn't see or hear anything except for the cries and screams. I hurt so much. It felt like I was being stabbed. The screw finnally came loose and my hands fumbeled to pick up the blade. I tried to make a deep cut, deep enough to end me but the blade wasn't going deep enough. It wasn't as sharp as my ones at home. I screamed again and then I felt warm arms wrap around me.

Demi's POV

"Demi!" Selena shouted concerned. "Demi!" She yelled again urgently. "Yeah? What's wrong?" "Demi, come here.' she said urgently. I walked up to selena quickly and looked at her questionly. There was tears in her eyes and she looked terrified. I followed her eyes and saw a small figure sitting on the rock where our tour guides had told us to set up camp. Then I heard the screaming. I looked at selena and then ran up to the figure. It was a small girl who could only be 14 or 15 and then I noticed her arm. There was a blade pushed into it and she was muttering under her breath for it to go deeper inbetween cries and screams. "let me die!" She screamed. I sat down behind her and pulled her close to me so that her head was resting against me. Her body tensed and then relaxed a liite as she sunk further into me and screamed once again. I slowly took the blade out of her hand and red blood drops slowly formed along a red line. "Shh, shh. It's going to be ok, I'm here." I felt her body jerk and then relax again as if she'd just realised something. I carefully wiped the blood away from her wrist while she cried. Her crying wasn't as intense any more. "Selena, Can you get me a bandaid?" I called out. Sel nodded and came back a few seconds later with a bandaid in her hand. She handed it to me. And looked at the shaking body in my arms. "Is she ok?" she whispered. "I don't know. I don't think she is very aware of what's going on." I said. "Where's everyonr else?" I asked. "I just told them that we were doing our lady business and not to come around here." "Thanky  you." Sel saw something and she got up to grab it. It was a phone that I assumed belonged to the girl. Sel opened it while I strocked the girls back and rocked her gently. She was still crying but she was calmer. Sel laughed. "What?" I said, not seeing anything funny about the situation. She showed me the phine and the screensaver was me. I lokked down at the small body in my arms and smiled. "It's ok, Demi's here now." I said. Her breath hitched a little and she slowly looked up. "Holy fucking shit!" She said as she moved out of my hands. "Your fucking Demi Lovato!" She started crying again and she pulled her legs up to her and held them. "Aww babe don't cry, please." I said and I moved over to her and strocked her hand. She looked up and then down at her wrist. She remembered something and then burst into uncontrollable tears again. I pulled her into my lap and started singing Nitingale. After a few lines her body went limp in my arms and her crying stopped. "Sel," I said urgently "What happened?" She said coming over to us. "I don't know," I said starting to cry. "She just passed out." Selena pulled her away from me and lied her down with her head on her thigh. "Go and get the tour guides!" She said and so I did.
