i hate you, don't leave me

Chapter 34

"He's alive," she whispered solemnly. Everyone in the waiting room erupted into cheers and my heart leaped in happiness before Dianna put her hand in the air, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

She glanced back at Demi, "Go on, sweetheart."

More tears sprang from her eyes as she stepped back, shaking her head to herself.

"I-I can't.. I can't.."

Dianna bit her lip and let liquid fall from her eyes freely.

Everyone watched closely as she whispered something into Nick's ear. Nick held a pained expression as he walked over and stood directly behind me.

"The baby's alive, but it's dying, and there's nothing that the doctors can do... They, uh, think it would be best if Demi was in the comfort of her home to miscarry."

My jaw fell open in shock and suddenly strong arms were around mine, holding me back.

"Get off of me," I growled. After minutes of struggling Nick finally released me. I immediately jumped into Demi's arms while sobbing.

"I-I'm s-sorry," I whimpered. Demi simply kissed my forehead and remained silent.

The funeral was nearly a week after the baby died. Everyone made speeches, including me. It was probably the saddest thing I'd experienced in my entire life.

The next month Demi spent in her bedroom. She only came out three times a day, and it was to make all of us food to eat. She never ate. She didn't do much of anything anymore. Selena and Dallas, along with the rest of the family alternated back and forth "babysitting" us.

It wasn't until some random day in July that Demi finally trudged her way out of her bedroom with light restored in her eyes. It was like she was an entirely different human being. Not different in a bad way. But she.. she was on a mission.

Authors Note:

I know this chapter was short but I did update just yesterday and this is to make up for not updating for like, 2 weeks. So you're welcome :)

You all probably hate me after this, but I planned on Demi miscarrying since I said that she was pregnant. She already has four kids, I honestly don't want to add onto that... Plus its going to lead into some other things that will probably start around the next few chapters.

The next update shall be sometime around next week, I don't know when, but if I don't update by that time I give all of you permission to spam my inbox and the comment section until I do. Im trying to get my shit together.

You all know the drill: Vote, comment and all that jazzzzz.
