Behind Bars: Demi's Little Sister ON TEMPORARY HOLD

Demi's Coming Home

"Jess Jessie Jessica!!"

I woke up to the sound of my little sisters voice shouting my name. "Maddie it's Saturday!" I groaned. "Yeahh but Demi's coming home today, C'mon get up, get up!" Maddie replied whilst jumping on my bed. If shouting didn't wake me up, that sure did!

"Okay okay, I'm up I'm up" I replied excitedly. I love it when Demi's home, the whole family can be together. Mom, Dad, Dallas, Demi, Me, and Maddie, like one big happy family. And to be honest we were a happy family, there were no strings attached. What you see is what you get really. Mostly

----------------------------------------------

Okay so, lemme tell you about myself...it's quite boring actually, not what you'd expect from the sister of the mega famous, absolutely beautiful life saver who has the most beautiful angelic voice and... Okay you get the point, Demi is amazing!

You know the saying lightning never strikes twice? Well. It struck.

I'm Jessie Erin Olivia Lovato, I'm 15 years old and I have depression. Everybody thinks I'm this happy, energetic, bubbly teenager who loves life but really since Summer died when I was 13 I've been miserable. It was my fault after all. If I hadn't of frozen, if I had just done something other than be my stupid self and just stood there then maybe id still have my best friend. Maybe I wouldn't be locked away in a mental bluer where all I can do is try to make it through the day without breaking down and crying. Maybe, just maybe I'd be happy.

Demi was my rock during the first few weeks of Summers death. The sound of her last screams, in brutal pain still pierce my ears every now and then. I have the nightmares of seeing Brian, point the scissors in my direction before turning around and slashing Summers arms multiple times and finally making that fatal stab into her neck. I couldn't move, for the life of me. If I could of died that night and let Summer be unwounded then without a doubt I would. I would do anything to have my best friend back!

I've probably come off quite harsh so far, quite cold, but it's all just an act. After the "incident" as I call it, I just shut down. I don't like to let people in anymore. I keep everything to myself if I can, it's best this way, I don't want to hurt my family and friends, especially Demi, she's done so well since 2010!

You can probably tell I think the world of Demi, I think the world of all of my family.

*Back to the present day* *25 Minutes Later*

"Jess, Jessie, Jessica!!" Called Maddie for the second time this morning. "Jess, are you ready yet? Mom said were leaving in 5 minutes to go get Demi at LAX!" "Yep I'm ready Mads don't worry, go downstairs with mom I'll be down in a minute" I replied without looking my sister in the eyes, Maddie could always tell when something was wrong and I couldn't afford for anyone to be suspicious right now. I love Demi visiting but everything is so much harder to hide when she's at home, she knows all the tricks in the book, in fact Im staring to think she wrote the book herself "How To Catch Your Sister Out Of Lying, And Admitting She Has A Problem" By Demetria Lovato.

I hopped of my bed after hearing mom call and walk down the stairs, slip my red converse on and get in the car ready to go and see Demi. The last time we saw her was at her show in Texas 2 months ago. The ride to the airport was silent which was unusual for us, something was wrong. I decided to brush it off and ask later as to not ruin the moment of seeing Demi again.

We reached the airport and went inside to the terminal waiting for Demi to come through the gates. Exactly 12.5 minutes later, (hey you get bored whilst waiting at an airport) a tired but beautiful as ever looking Demi walked through the gates and came running at us with Max her bodyguard following behind. "Hey guys, I missed you so much" Demi echoed throughout the whole airport. After saying her hello's to everyone Demi came to me."Hey Demetria" I teased. "Hey Jessica" Demi mimicked. We both hated being called by our full names. I instantly jumped for my big sisters arms and took in her welcoming scent, she always smelled like vanilla and love. "I missed you so much Dems" I said crying slighly. "I missed you too baby girl, I missed you too"

----------------------------------------------

The ride back to the house was also suspiciously quiet considering we only just got a family member back. "Mom can we turn the radio up please?" I asked to break the awkward silence. "Now playing Neon Lights, by Demi Lovato" We all laughed at the irony and changed the channel over.

An hour later we got home and we all took a piece of Demi's luggage inside.

The silence had now been brewing for a good few hours and I just couldn't take it any longer "Mom what's wrong why's everyone so quiet?" I asked hoping it was nothing serious. "Jessie, come and sit down over here with me and Demi" Mom replied with empathy in her voice. This meant bad news. Demi spoke first "You know Brian?" "Yes?" I answered getting worried. Mom continued. "He escaped from jail, he's missing" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE ESCAPED FROM JAIL? THEY HAVE GUARDS FOR A REASON DONT THEY?" I screamed anger in my voice. Demi followed on from mom "Jess, they don't know where he is but they thi-" I cut her off " NO SHIT SHERLOCK THATS WHAT MISSING MEANS!" On realising id just lost my temper with the person I love most in the whole word for something that wasn't even her fault I took off up stairs. I'm a horrible person.

I ran up stairs to my bathroom and locked the door "I'm sorry Demi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Demi, I'm sorry" I repeated over and over again through tears. Then everything went black.

authors note

I'm so sorry I haven't updated this or my other fanfic in.. I don't know how long. My laptop broke, then I had problems, then just ah so much has happened.

I'm not sure how long this is as I'm on my phone and don't have word count. I just sorta wrote and wrote really so I'm sorry if it's short, or really long.

I'm also sorry Demi hasn't been in this much yet, but I promise from now on she will be.

Please, any feedback would be great! Good or bad?

Thank You!

Ily, Stay Strong!
