Lexie's POV

I woke up confused and wrapped up in someone's arms. I panicked for a second then I remembered that it was tori. I'm safe. I thought to myself. I attempted to try and break out of Tori's death grip but she just tightened her grip. Demi was laying on the couch texting. I'm assuming she didn't know I was awake yet.

"Demi!" I yell whispered. Demi jumped in shock then turned to me. She winced when she looked at my face. Is there something on my face or???

"Hey baby girl.. I'm gonna get you some ice, does your eye hurt?" I touched my eye lightly not expecting to feel pain. Tears Instantly sprang to my eyes I let out a slight whimper and nodded. Demi went into the kitchen. I heard the loud sound of the ice Machine, and a few ice cubes fall on the ground. "Shit." Demi mumbled. I couldn't help but giggle, it's funny when Demi curses. Demi walked back into to living room and handed me an ice pack. I wiggled one of my arms free from Tori's grasp. Demi let out a slight giggle.

"Need any help there or are you fine?" I looked up at Demi and shook my head.

"Nah she doesn't like being woken up I'll be fine I'm kinda a little comfortable actually." Demi put on a fake pout face.

"Aww now your making me jealous."

"Aww Demz I'm sorry." I tried to pry Tori's arms off of me but it didn't work. Tori put her hands over my mouth and said. "Shh Lex it's sleepy time." She sounds drunk when she's half way awake. Luckily she loosened her grip. I pulled Tori's arms off of me and jumped onto Demi's lap. Her arms snaked around my waist. Last nights events were still a blur to me I remember what happened but barely. I remember Demi getting furious and I can remember feeling pain from Damian touching me and slapping me whenever I disobeyed him. I looked down at Demi's hands they were raw and bruised. I shivered in disgust, I didn't know Demi could hit that hard. What if she ever got that mad at me!? She wouldn't hit me would she?? I didn't think I would ever say this but I'm becoming a bit terrified of Demi. My breathing started getting heavier by the second. And my thoughts began to race. What if Damian was right what if she really doesn't like me? Does she feel bad for me?? Oh my gosh no. I was brought out of my thoughts by Demi's concerned voice.

"Lexie sweetheart listen to me breath ok?" I stared blankly at her with tears streaming down my face.

"Baby girl match my breathing." I still couldn't calm down.

"I-I c-c-can't Demi I'm s-s-sorry." I said that a little louder than I should have. My breathing was all messed up, I couldn't control the volume of my voice. By this time Tori was fully awake and by my side.

"Demi. Demi it's alright Lexie used to always have panic attacks at school I know how to calm her down." I kinda felt a little bad for Demi. That probably hurt her feelings it's not that I don't love her and that she doesn't help trust me she does. It's just that sometimes no one can calm me down that's all. Sometimes I just have to wait off the panic attack ( I hate that though )

By this time Tori was sitting by my side rubbing tiny circles on my back. I rested my head on her shoulder and Focused On my breathing. This reminded me of when I was in school and this 'popular' girls were mean to me calling me a worthless fat bitch, or an emo freak. They would tell me to kill myself too I tried 3 times thankfully it didn't work though but sometimes I wish it did.. I remember going to lunch sometimes on the verge of tears and Tori would see me. Sometimes I would tell her what happened right away other times I would just lay my head on her shoulder and cry but she would never see me cry. She's only seen me cry once and that was last night I hate crying I really do. My breathing was still not getting any better.

"D-Demi??" I stuttered out.

"Yea baby?" I gulped.

"Can you... Can you s-sing?"
