Nightingales (demi lovato fanfic)

Aymies story

Elsa'a POV

I sat at the table with Aymie because she had dragged me over. I looked at the dinner plate in front of me and felt sick. There was potato gnocchi, potato salad and a potato layered slice. All potato. I looked over at Aymie and she was happily eating her fruit and vegetables. I wanted to eat for Demi and for Aymie and I knew I could. It was just hard. My eating disorder wasn't like other peoples. Somedays I could eat like a normal person but the next day I would be completely terrified of one calorie and the smell and sound of food and chewing would make me sick. I knew after this meal I would have to either fast tomorrow or excercise a lot tonight but I was going to eat it.

I got half way through and started to slow down and become more aware of what I was eating and by 3 quarters of the way I stopped eating it. Ebony was smiling at the group of girls who were now laughing at god knows what.

"So, Elsa wasn't it?" Ebony asked me.

"Yeah." I smiled.

"Aymie really seems to like you."

"Haha yeah. She says that I remind her of mymy?" I asked questioningly.

"Oh." She said sadly.

I sat there awkwardly for a few more minutes. I was trying to get the courage to ask who mymy was.

"Uhh so who was mymy?" I asked as casually as I could.

"Umm Mymy was Aymies older sister. Her name was Maya."

"What happened to her?" I asked playing with my napkin to avoid eye contact.

"Uhh she died due to emotional trauma and years of abuse aswell as self abuse caused by her parents."

"Oh." Is all I could choke out. I don't need to be smart to figure out that she had killed herself.

We went back to our rooms after dinner and I just lied on my bed listening to music. I heard a knock on the door.

"Yeah?" I called sitting up on my arms.

Ebony poked her head in the door.

"Umm hey, sorry to bother you and everything but Aymie won't go to sleep and she insists it's because you have to read her a story." She said slightly embarrassed.

"Aww that is so cute. I can read her a story if you want." I smiled sitting up.

"Yes please, we would all love it." she smiled and opened the door so I could pass her.

I started reading Aymie her story. It was sleeping beauty and she fell asleep in my lap. I put the book down and kissed her forehead as I moved her into my arms. I loved this little girl. She was so innocent and beautiful and sweet and cute. She reminded me of a baby me. I curled up with her in my lap and fell asleep.

I woke up and there were too blue eyes staring at me.

"Elsa wake!" She screamed.

I laughed and nodded.

"I have to go and get changed ok?" I asked her. She nodded and them let go of me.

I got dressed and then went back to Aymie's room. I was followed by Ebony who was being followed by a few of the other girls from yesterday.

"Hey Elsa." She said smiling at me.

"Hi." I replied.

"Hey Aymie, today we are going to the art room." Ebony said.

"No. Go mymy." Aymie said.

I was confused I thought Maya was dead. Ebony must have caught on to my confused expression.

"No Aymie we can't go to the music room today."

"But mymy." Aymie started crying and it broke my heart. She really missed Maya. I wonder how long it had been.

Aymie ran up to me and I picked her up while cried into my shoulder.

"Mymy!" she cried.

Tears were rolling down my cheeks and I was trying to choke them back. She just wanted her big sister back. She calmed down and I carried her to the art room. I had to go to court in 15 minutes so I sat down with her for 5 minutes and helped her draw a picture whilst Ebony switched over with there other carer. I said goodbye to Aymie and kisses her cheek.

"Bye bye Els." she said with a lisp.

"Bye Aymes." I said smiling.
