Prompt: M/C has anger issues and adores Demi Lovato (requested by XBelieveinCenationX)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Taroon's POV~
The red haze slowly faded, clearing my mind. Disgusted with myself, I walked around my room, inspecting the damage that I had caused. Although it shouldn't have been, this was routine for me. All I saw then was red. I was sick and tired of being constantly angry, constantly not being able to control my rage. Many holes shattering the drywall, both old and new, were scattered among my walls. My knuckles throbbed painfully from where I must've made new holes during my anger-induced black-out. Examining them, the white powder from the drywall, ugly, dark purple bruisings, and speckles of blood only confirmed my inference. With a sigh, I collapsed onto my bed. The silence allowed the voices of my past bullies to surface.
"You're weak!" They mocked. "You're nothing but a faggot loser!"
I clenched my short hair tightly into my fists. Why couldn't I just let go of the past? Why couldn't I just forget about the bullies? Why couldn't I control my anger?
Shaking my head, I grabbed my remote and turned on my television. I changed the channel to the Music Choice 'Hit List' channel. Once a Taylor Swift song finished playing, a song that I hadn't heard before begun to play. I glanced at the information and saw that it was 'Skyscraper' by Demi Lovato. Having never heard it before but always been interested in new music, I turned the volume up. Pictures of Demi, I assumed, flashed across the screen. She was gorgeous! At the side, little bits of information was provided about her. To my surprise, one fact stated that she was bullied by other girls while in school, which led her to become homeschooled. A celebrity bullied, like me? I found that difficult to believe. By the end of the song, although I hated to admit it, I was in tears. The lyrics were so powerful and the emotion this woman conveyed with her voice was so raw, so emotional. I immediately logged onto YouTube and watched the music video, only causing more tears. I cried for the pain that she must have felt and all of the bullshit she must have gone through because of her bullies. I cried out of relief because I then knew that I wasn't alone, that there were others out there who had been bullied and who had similar stories to mine. I cried to relieve myself of all of the years of bottling up my emotions and carrying heavy burdens.
That was the day that Demetria "Demi" Devonne Lovato became my savior.
