Mom?

Chapter 3- Edited

Previously on Mom?

"Today will be a quite day. I'm going to put a movie on and if you need to, you can finish your science fair project." Mr. Vitale said.

That was what we did all class. Once class was over, I got my things from my locker. I walked out of the front of the building and I looked for Mrs. Pennington at car duty. She wasn't there so I walked in between building 8 and 5. I walked to the bus loop and saw that my bus wasn't there so I walked to the end and I sat next to Veronica and Nick. Mrs. Pennington was standing by the white board where it told you what bus was here. I popped in my ear buds and I listened to Demi. By time I noticed, the bus was here and Mrs. Pennington was letting us on the bus. Soon, I got off at my stop and I realized that Andrea wasn't on the bus, but in fact she was standing at the door, hands on hips smirking.

Great, here we go again.

"When we walk in, we're best friends. I don't want Mrs. Kate to find out. Then when we get into the bathroom or upstairs, back to normal we go, slut." Andrea snarled.

We walked into the house and Mrs. Kate greeted us. 

"How was school, girls?" She asked.

"School was great, thanks for asking Mrs. Kate." Andrea said as she smiled.

I rolled my eyes as I knew that she was just faking it.

We got upstairs and Andrea pushed me against the wall. "This is for rolling your eyes." Andrea punched me in the abdomen.

I coughed up blood as she punched me in the jaw and ribs. I finally escaped and I got in the shower. I examined my bruises. I had a large one on my abdomen and on my ribs. They would merge into one later. I had one on my jaw too. I could easily lie about that one. I got out of the shower and I changed into a black undershirt, some leggings and a grey cardigan. I applied foundation to my cuts and bruises, then I walked back to my bedroom and I locked the door.

"Girls, there is someone here to adopt." Mrs. Kate said through the intercom. 

I walked out of my room, and I slowly made my way downstairs. I stood in line as I saw Demi walk through the door. 

"Mrs. Kate, can I go use the bathroom real quickly?" I asked.

"Yes. Be quick." She said.

I ran upstairs and I go into the bathroom. I quickly used the bathroom and I flushed the toliet. I pulled my hair out of its ponytail and I let it take it's natural place around my shoulders. I walked out of the bathroom just as Mrs. Kate yelled up to me, "Allyna. Come on."

I thundered down the stairs as I tripped on the last one which caused me to fall in the process. Andrea started to laugh and the others laughed too. Demi walked over and helped me up, as she smiled at me.

"Ally, hey. Can I talk to you?" Demi asked.

I nodded and we walked into Mrs. Kate's office.

"So, I want to adopt you. I am your birth mother, but I gave you up because I was too unstable to keep you. I had just gotten out of treatment and I was not ready. I needed time. I am ready now, and I hope you forgive me." Demi said.

I immediately leaned in and gave her a hug.

"I forgive you." I mumbled into her shoulder.

I knew she heard me, cause she smiled into mine. We walked out of the office and Andrea glared at me.

"Mrs. Kate, I would like to adopt Allyna back." Demi told her.

"Sure, just let me get you your papers to sign and then you can have your daughter back." Mrs. Kate said as she walked back into her office.

"Ally, you can go pack your things." Demi told me before she walked into the room.

I went upstairs and I packed my things. Andrea came into the room and I cowered.

"Slut, just because you are leaving here, does not mean that I will stop messing with you. We still go to the same school and if I find out that you switch schools, I will come after you. So do not expect to be left alone. Cause it will never happen." Andrea snarled.

I looked over and I saw Demi coming up the stairs. I quickly blinked away tears and stood up.

"Well, Andrea, It was nice knowing ya." I said as I went in for a hug.

"Don't ever call me hug me again." Andrea muttered in my ear.

"Ok. Babygirl, you ready to go?" Demi asked me.

"Yep." I said.

We went downstairs and I met Mrs. Kate at the door.

"Bye, Mrs. Kate. I'm gonna miss you." I said as I gave her a hug.

"I'm going to miss you too. Come back and visit sometime." She told me as she hugged back.

"Ok, kiddo. Let's go." Demi said.

We walked out and we got into Demi's car.

"So, how much do you know about me?" Demi asked once we started driving.

"Your birth name is Demetria Devonne Lovato, but you go by Demi. You were born on August 20th, 1992 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You grew up in Dallas Texas. You are Bioplar. You self-harmed and had an eating disorder. You had struggles with substance abuse. You have Stay Strong inked in on your wrist. You have sold 5 albums, Don't Forget, Here We Go Again, Unbroken, DEMI, the self titled album because you didn't know what else to call it, and Confident." I said.

Demi looked at me, shocked and the moment she took her eyes off the road, we swerved. I looked out the window to see a pickup truck barrel to us.
