For The Love Of A Daughter

Chapter Twelve

I had a lot of fun today, but couldn't stop thinking about food, I thought about it the whole ride home and now I'm sitting in Demi's bathroom...I told Demi that I want to shower again because the rain got me muddy. I really don't care about the mud, I just want to throw up without Demi knowing. I really didn't want to do this, I wanted to get better... for Demi... she was proud of me... no one's ever been proud. I was sitting on the ground in the shower trying to organize my thoughts. I decided not to throw up. Because that's really selfish. It's selfish of me to throw up food that Demi packed for our first date. It's selfish to throw up at all since Demi used to. So instead, I cut. One, two, three.

"Welcome back friend" the voice said. Four, five, six.

"Get the fuck out of my head!" I cried. Seven, eight, nine.

"Do more, Demi won't mind" it encouraged. Ten, eleven, twelve...

"Fucking go to hell!" I screamed right as I passed out.

DEMI POV

I was downstairs watching tv when I heard screaming coming from the bathroom. I thought instantly that someone had broken in again. I ran up the steps and tried opening the door, but it was locked.

"Shit!" I muttered. I rammed my shoulder into the door three times before it finally broke.

"Alli?" I called. No answer, but the water was running. I slowly pulled the curtain back. Alli was laying in a pool of water mixed with blood. All I could see was red.

"Oh my god..." I muttered. Then reality sink in.

"Fuck!" I grabbed Alli's phone as mine was downstairs and dialed 911. It rang once before there was a click.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"I need an ambulance quick!" I shouted while crying.

"What's the situation and the location you're in?"

"My girlfriend is unconscious in the shower surrounded by blood" I cried, and then gave my address.

"An ambulance will be there right away. Get her out of the shower and try covering her up"

"Okay. Thank you" I said and then hung up. I grabbed Alli and put her in one of my old baggy shirts and a pair of shorts. I set a towel down on the bed and laid her on it. She cut. Second time today. Deep. My heart was thumping quickly and pounded in my head. She must've hit her head hard as she went down, she was bleeding from there too. Badly. I held a rag to her head with lots of pressure to try to stop the bleeding. I kissed her forehead and held her hand tight laying next to her. When I heard sirens I scooped her up and ran out of the house, grabbing mine and her phone and locking the door. I know the paramedics would've come gotten her but I didn't want to wait. They had me put her on a stretcher and then they secured her on it. I got in the front of the ambulance so I could be with her still. I quickly sent a group text to Riss and my mom. It said,

"On my way to the hospital with Alli. I'll explain in a little bit, meet me there? Mom can you take my car here and Riss could maybe drop you off on her way back home? I'm in the ambulance right now so I'm gonna need my car"

"Oh my god! I'm on my way. Be there soon" Riss replied.

"Okay hun, be there shortly. I'll grab your charger and guitar too" my mom said.

"Thanks mommy. I love you"

"I love you too"

"And me too!" Riss joined.

"And Demi," mom sent.

"Yeah...?" I said.

"Calm down. And listen to your tattoos" she was referring to my 'Stay Strong' tattoos. I smiled through my tears and tried looking back at Alli, I couldn't see her though. The doctors were surrounding her and looking at each other whispering with concerned looks. One of the female doctors noticed that I was looking and gave me a weak smile that was forced. Oh no.
