Cinderella

*Cinderella*

I've been getting these headaches, so much and they hurt. We haven't seen Ruby since I came home which was three days ago. Wilmer hasn't tried to contact me or Demi. "Demi I'm going to bed." I softly smiled. I'm on my medication and I'm getting used to it again.

*Demi*

It was 2 am and I heard a thump causing me to wake up. "What the hell? Cinderella!?" I immediately yelled, I grabbed my phone and got out of bed, I ran down the hall in the dark. I opened her door and she was having a seizure. "CINDERELLA!" I yelled in pure panic. I laid her on her side "Your okay, I'm getting help." I whispered crying, I called 911 and then I called Wilmer, her seizures wouldn't stop and I freaked out even more, "please! Stop!" I begged.

She shook violently and I couldn't handle it. I heard a knock on the door and I ran to the door and opened it and was Wilmer and paramedics, I showed them her room and I ran to Wilmer and he engulfed me in a hug. "She'll be okay." He rubbed my back, "Wilmer- im sorry." I sobbed,

"Ma'm would you like to ride in the ambulance?" The paramedic asked. I nodded, "Wilmer you'll follow?" He nodded "of course hermosa." Her seizure stopper because they put medicine in her, I got in the ambulance, "her name is Cinderella and she is 14 years old, she hates the the name Cinderella so she responds to Ella." I ranted, "Ma'm what are these marks from?" He asked. "She was in an abusive relationship she just left him." I cried holding her hand. "You're her mother correct?" I nodded "yes please help my baby."

We arrived at the hospital and I got the most horrible news, "Cinderella, you have a tumor. We won't know if it's cancerous or not until we take it out." I couldn't help but sob, where was ruby? Why wasn't she answering my fucking calls? Wilmer held on to me. "Mrs. Lovato if you could fill these out, giving us consent."

"Of course." I sobbed, I signed the papers "please save my baby."

Of course Phil comes running in, "Demi?! Are you okay!? What's going on?" He panicked, "my baby- she has a tumor." I sobbed, the words just didn't feel real coming out. "Oh my god, is it cancerous?"

"They won't know till they test it. They just took her up to surgery." He started to tear up, "Where's ruby?" He asked. "I don't know! I haven't heard from her in 3 fucking days, I'm done with her!" I looked and saw paparazzi, "fuck!"

"I'll get security, demi please just wait and calm down and stay with Wilmer okay?" I nodded. I went to the man I once loved, well still do love. Just not like that-

"She'll be okay- I promise." He rubbed my back, just then came my really good friends Marissa and Lauren. "Demi, we came as soon as we got the news." Lauren sighed softly. Then Marissa came and gave me a hug. "Where's ruby?" Asked Lauren,

"God! I don't know, stop pestering me about her!" I shot,

"Woah woah woah, no, I get that your scared and upset but you don't get to be mad at us for nothing. Okay? We are here for you, you don't get to run away." Marissa grabbed my wrist. "Okay, I'm sorry. I love you guys. Thank you for coming." I hugged them.

It's been 4 hours and she's finally out of surgery, "we sent the tumor for testing, but surgery went smooth and she's awake and asking for her mom."

"We couldn't ignore.. the marks on her so we had to calls CPS.."

"What!?" I shot up, "you think I beat my kid!? Are you kidding me!? Have you not seen the fucking news lately? She ran away those marks are from her abuser...which isn't me!" I yelled, "Ma'm! Please calm down it's protocol! We have to."
