My Sister Saved My Life (Demi Lovato Fanfic)

Timberline Knolls 2.0 -32-

"YOU WHAT?!" Demi asked, both shocked and angry. 

"I want to go to Timberline Knolls for treatment." I stated simply, calmly. 

"Why?" Demi asked, earning looks from the rest of the family. 

"Demi, go upstairs. I'll come up and talk to you when I'm done talking to the rest of the family. Okay?" She nods, then goes upstairs. 

"Why the sudden change Kenz? I wanted to send you to treatment months ago, but you fought tooth and nail to stay with Demi." Mom said, slightly confused. 

"Momma, I can't do this anymore. I can't pretend I'm happy when all I want to do is die." Mom gasps. "I know, probably one of the worst things you'd ever wanna hear. Today was the happiest I've been in months. You think I've been recovering, don't you?" 

They all nod, but I shake my head. Pulling up my sleeves, I hear gasps. I look down, noting just how much damage I've done in the past few months. It's a lot more than I thought, oops. I feel a hand under my chin, forcing me to look up and meet Dallas' eyes. 

"Kenz, I knew it was bad, but I didn't think it was this bad. Why didn't you tell me it had gotten worse than last time?" Dallas asked, hurt evident in her eyes. 

"YOU KNEW?!" Mom and I screamed at Dallas, simultaneously. 

"Yeah, I saw last night after you came back to bed from the bathroom. You did some of these last night, didn't you?" Dallas asked, running her fingers over my fresh cuts, earning a hiss from me because of the pain. 

"No. I promise you I didn't do these last night. I was with Demi, in the music room." I said, prying my arm from my sisters grip. 

"Okay. Enough of the interrogation. I fully support her going to treatment. What do you guys think?" Eddie asks. 

"I'm okay with it, but I'll miss you like crazy baby girl." Mom says, pulling me into a hug. 

"I'm gonna miss you too Momma." I said, burying my head into her neck. 

"I support you too baby girl. No matter what. I love you." Dallas says, taking me from Mom's arms an pulling me into her own. 

I untangle myself from Dallas' arms, walking over to Maddie, who's been silent since I first said anything. 

"Mads, you okay baby girl?" I ask, kneeling down in front of her and gently grabbing her chin, forcing her to look at me. 

"I just got you back, I don't want you to end up dead. I'm going to miss you like crazy Kenz! I love you. I can't lose you. Please get better. I need you." Maddie said, wrapping her arms around my neck. 

"Awh. Baby girl. I love you too. You can't lose me that easy, I promise." I say, hugging her and kissing her temple. 

I unwrap Maddie's arms from my neck and stand up. Sighing, I tell mom that I'm going upstairs to talk to Demi. I walk into my room to find Hope watching TV and Tiffany cuddled into her side, asleep. I smile as I change out of my uniform. 

"You two are so cute." I tell her, pulling on sweat pants. 

"Thanks. Hey, there's something I need to tell you, and I don't think you're going to like it." Hope said, moving her arm as Tiffany snuggled closer to her. 

"Hope. What's going on?" I ask, after throwing on a random sweatshirt. it's Demi's, I can tell from the smell.

"Tiff and I, we're leaving tomorrow. Chris put the team in a tournament, so we need to leave tomorrow morning. I'm sorry Kenz, I wish I would've known earlier." Hope said, her eyes tearing up a little. 

"Hey now Killer, don't get all emotional on me. We'll hang out again, I promise." 

"I know, I just hate that we have to leave so soon. We just got here." Hope says. "I've missed you Kenz, and just a few days isn't enough." 

"I know, but that's all we had. I promise we'll see each other soon. As soon as I get out of treatment, I'll come visit. Are you, Tiff, Amber and Emily still playing year-round?" She nods. "Good, I'll call Chris when I'm out there and come watch a few games, promise." I say, before kissing her forehead and exiting the room. 

I go downstairs to grab a powerade and my phone, then run back up and to Demi's room. 

"Hey Dem, can we talk?"" I ask, closing the door behind me. 

"Yeah, I think we need to. Sit." Demi says, putting her laptop next to her. 

"Are you mad?" 

"Honestly? Yeah, a little. What the hell Kenzie? Why didn't you talk to me?" Demi asked, raising her voice a little. 

"Look Dem, I didn't te-" She cut me off. 

"No McKenzie! I wanna know what the hell happened." Demi said, her voice even, which is even scarier than her yelling. 

"No. You don't get to do that. You don't get to make me feel bad about not telling you. Sure, I already feel bad, but you don't get to make me feel worse. I didn't tell you because I knew this is how you'd react. I didn't tell you because I couldn't even admit it to myself. Demi, I'm getting worse. Today was the best day I've had in months." Demi opened her mouth to say something. "Demetria Devonne Lovato, say one word and i'm out of here." I said, raising one eyebrow. She closed her mouth. "Thank you. I just feel like I'm never good enough for you, or this family." I felt my phone vibrate in my hand, but didn't look at it. It was probably HeMo asking what's happening. 

"Look Kenz, I'm not gonna give you a long speech about how you're worth it, I've told you a million times. Just never forget this: I love you so much baby girl. Stay Strong. Please." Demi said, pulling me into a tight hug. 

"Thanks Demi. I love you too." I say, as my phone vibrates again. 

"You gonna get that?" Demi asked. 

I looked at my phone. Two texts. One from HeMo the other from an unknown number. I looked at the unknown first. 

From: Unknown 

Hey, It's Lexie. Can we talk? I miss you already. :(  

I smiled and saved her number. 

To: Alexandria. <3

Hey, yeah, sure. I miss you too. :( 

Then I read the one from Heather. She's an amazing friend, I'm so glad I met her. 

From: Brittany S. Pierce.(;

Hey K. How'd they react? I'm here for you no matter what. I promise I'm never leaving. 

To: Brittany S. Pierce.(;

Hey Heath. They all took it pretty well, except Demi. But I expected that. She's better now and I think I'm leaving in the morning. I'll let you know babe! Love you! 

I put my phone down and turned to Demi, "Hey Dem?" 

"Yeah?" 

"Can we leave tomorrow morning?" I asked, hoping she'd say yes. 

"Yeah, I'll let mom know. I'll pull a few strings so you can keep your phone incase you need me. I love you kiddo and I'm so proud of you for admitting that you need help and that you actually want it." She kissed my forehead then went downstairs. 

I spent the rest of the night texting Lexie and packing. I fell asleep around midnight, not knowing how much I'd hate my first day at TK.
