Take a Blow for Love (Editing)

Chapter 11

Okay, I hope you guys like this chapter, because I know the last one was a bit boring, but I felt like I needed it to connect the chapters 9 and 11.

Sierra's POV

"Sierra?" A male voice woke me up from my sleep and my eyes squint from the bright lights and white walls.

Wait. Where was I?

I tried sitting up on my bed, but felt a seething pain in my back. I fell back onto my pillow moaning from the pain. I opened my eyes again and saw a man in a white lab coat. That's when I realized I was in the hospital. How did I end up here?

"Do you remember anything?" Asked the doctor. I thought it over avoiding the part where I ran away from the foster home.

"Um, I was at a Demi Lovato concert, I met her backstage, and…" The final event shocked me as my mind went back to what happened.

We heard a few knocks at the door, which snapped me out of my thoughts. I just hope it wasn't Rosa. I'd hate to see her come into the room ready to explode after finding out I've took hundreds of dollars from her credit card. Plus, I didn't want the doctor to see me as a thief. That was none of his business anyway.

The doctor cracked open the door a little to see who it was. 'Oh God. Please don't let it be her.' I thought while shutting my eyes.

After the doctor said to make it a quick visit because I needed my rest, I heard the hollow sound of heels coming closer to me. The sound stopped and I felt my bed dip on the left side of my legs, which made me hold my breath.

"Sierra?" A female voice spoke, but it wasn't who I was expecting it to be. For some reason, that voice calmed me down. I knew that voice. I mentally gasped as I opened my eyes to see Demi Lovato sitting on my bed with one leg dangling off the edge and the other bent with the knee bent towards me. I immediately sat up but still staring at her. Then the sharp pain came back and my head fell back onto the pillow. Fuck.

"Why are you here?" I asked. In my head I was thinking, 'Why would she come visit me? Wouldn't she be busy with her new album or something?'

She turned towards the other side of my bed where I saw Michael.

'Wait. Why was he here? And with Demi?' All of a sudden, I felt scared and my heart started beating like hell as I waited for the reason they were here.

"Can I tell her?" She asked with a smile. My worker nodded his head. 'What! Tell me what?' I thought as I turned to Demi with huge eyes.

Demi laughed at the look I gave her with a huge toothless smile on her face as the ends of her smile lifted up showing her dimples. My nerves eased knowing it'll be good news. I hope.

"I'm your new foster mom."

I felt my face fall as I sat there in silence. I broke the silence with a snorted laugh.

"Very funny, Demi. Really, what is it?"

Demi blinked her eyes while having a plastered smile on her face. She obviously was not expecting that from me. Wait! Was she serious?

"I'm your foster mom." She said like it's obvious but had a bit of a confused look on her face.

This better not be a setup. Michael knows I cannot trust people well because of what happened in the past. If I do stay with Demi, I know she'll be just like the other foster parents I had. None of them liked me. And for a good reason.

I looked at Michael again with a slightly menacing stare. "Are you fucking messing with me? Because, this is not funny."

"Language, Sierra. And no, this isn't a joke." He said to me sternly. I sighed. Knowing that Demi will be my foster mom, I might as well get it out of the way and show her how much of a troubled teen I was. She would probably kick me out of her house within the first day anyway.

I sure as hell didn't want her to take care of a girl that cuts herself and I don't want to be the reason if she ever relapse.

I faced Demi again and asked her a question that would hopefully leave her speechless.

"Of all the foster parents and couples that met me, what makes me think you'll be any different?"

I know I'm being rude to my idol, but after what I've been through the past several years, I don't wanna let her into my life that fast. I've been through enough rejection already.
