For The Love Of A Daughter

Chapter Thriteen

We got to the hospital and the doctors were all still surrounding her and rushing her to her room. I followed quickly. They put her in the ICU right away which couldn't have been a good sign. They tried kicking me out but I refused to leave her side. There was a knock then a young looking guy walked in. he smiled at me and shook my hand.

"Hello miss Lovato. I'm doctor Hernandez"

"Hello" I said. My voice cracked from all the crying.

"I'm going to take Alli to have some scans and tests done to see if there's any damage"

"But... she's gonna be okay... right?" his face softened a bit. Making him no longer look professional. He looked like this even hurt him, like he was about to cry too. He quickly shook it off and replied,

"Honestly, I can't tell you anything right now. We're supposed to give friends and family hope... but there's just no point in me doing that..." he trailed off, looking down. He looked at me once again. Why do I feel like I know him? His eyes look really familiar...

"Besides," he said pulling me back into reality,

"I wouldn't want to cause any of us false hope" he said while wheeling Alli out. I quickly managed to kiss her forehead.

I must've been asleep for about a half hour when there was a knock at the door. It was Riss and my mom.

"Demi!" my mom said hugging me. Riss was carrying my things and set them down on a chair.

"Where is she?" Riss asked.

"They're running some tests and scans on her right now"

"Oh alright" Marissa said, sitting down. She seemed like she was in a bad mood or mad. I wonder what that's all about. She's almost being bitchy about Alli. At least that's how it seems.

MARISSA POV

I'm not even gonna lie. I really don't like Alli. I thought she was really cool at first but this just proves that she's a selfish inconsiderate bitch. Demi texted us explaining what happened. I would've never told Demi to go for her if I knew that she cuts herself. What if she makes Demi relapse? She could do so much better. I should be with her, not Alli. Dianna was comforting Demi since she was crying again.

"Maybe this is for the best" I said. Demi immediately shot her head up.

"Riss what the fuck are you talking about?!?" Demi retorted. Dianna tried to calm her down.

"I mean, now you know that she's bad for you. She cuts herself, you shouldn't be around that. You could just end the relationship now. Besides, you could do so much better anyways"

"I'm gonna fucking hurt YOU if you don't shut up about Alli right now!" she said.

"What? It's not like you love her or anything. You just met. It's not like it'd be that hard to leave her"

"And what if I do love her? What if I'm head over heels in love with this girl Riss? Do you want me to just leave the person that I'm in love with? The girl that I want to marry?"

"Demi! Marissa! Calm down!" Dianna said. I got a hurt look on my face and went to hug Demi. She shouldered me away.

"Is this about jealousy? Are you jealous of Alli? You want me all for yourself don't you?"

"I just want it to be like seventh grade again.." I said.

"Fuck that Marissa. And fuck you! I love Alli. And if you don't like that then LEAVE!"

DEMI POV

What the fuck was Marissa's problem? Obviously I don't like the idea of hurting her but how could she be so selfish in a time like this? Marissa turned around giving me one last look as she was about to walk out the door. As she opened it, Dr. Hernandez was standing there.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"Am I interrupting something?"

"No Dr. Hernandez, Marissa here was just leaving. Come on in" Marissa stood there checking Dr. Hernandez out.

"GoodBYE Marissa" I said and she walked out.

"Hello, you must be miss Lovato's mother"

"Yes, Dianna DeLaGarza"

"It's nice to meet you miss DeLaGarza" he said, shaking her hand.

"Well there's good news and bad news. The good news, we didn't find any damage to the brain. The bad news... Alli appears to be in a comatose state.."
