Miss Independent: A Demi Lovato Adoption Story |Under Editing| ✔️

Miss Little Lie

Demi sat in her dressing room on the first day of the Neon Lights Tour. It had been a week since the incident and Kali was avoiding Demi at all cost. "Yas, where is Kali?" Demi asked, slipping on her shoes.

"Stage." Yasmin said simply, while playing her game. Demi got a weird look on her face from the location the 5 year old said. She shrugged, and walked out the room. As she grew closer to the empty arena, Demi heard a voice coming from the speakers.

"Kali?" Demi yelled, interrupting Kalani  in the middle of a singing Catch Me. Kalani stopped singing and looked embarrassedly towards Demi.

"Mom," She coughed, "Hey." Kalani sat the mic back on the stand, and bit her lip. "I suck but-"

"You don't suck. You did rifts on my own song, that I didn't even think of. That's amazing, and so is your voice." Demi smiled, but it quickly faded, when she realized she had to do something. "Come to the bus after the show." Demi said, going back to her room before sound check. Kalani scrunched up her face, and folded her arms.

"Okay." She nodded. Slowly, she treaded off the stage, and went to find her son, and Marissa.

After the show Demi pulled Kalani into the bus, and sat down with her. "What's up mom?" Kali said, taking a bite of her Rice Krispy treat. She was gonna act like nothing was happened."Is something wrong?" She asked dumbly. The mom cradled Isaac in one hand, and ate a bit more of her snack.

"Actually yeah. Last week when you went to the Grove with your friends what happened out there?" Demi asked, as she stripped out of her hot jacket. Kalani shook her head, and watched the jacket hit the floor.

"Not really," Kalani sighed, "Brittani, Cari, and I went up there to chill. But, we did drink a little." Kalani shrugged. "That's the only reason I didn't come home at curfew." Kalani half lied. Demi sighed. Kalani felt bad for lieing about having sex with Jake, but she couldn't tell Demi until she was sure what was going on between them. Demi watched Kalani go into the back where she and Yasmin slept. She knew something was up, but wasn't gonna push her. Demi was about to take a shower when she realized Yasmin was with Little Mix. She grabbed a granola bar and headed over their bus.

"Hey babe." Demi said, while she stepped into the bus carefully. Yasmin jumped off of Perrie's lap, and ran to her mom.

"Mommy can I have some?" Yasmin asked. Demi rolled her eye's and let Yasmin sit on her lap. Demi let Yasmin bite a piece of before eating some herself.

Back on the other bus, Kalani was feeding Isaac when Wilmer came in she and Yasmin's room. She had the cloth over him so she wasn't exposed. "Hey." Wilmer said, then sat on the bed. Kalani bit her lip, and put her phone down.

"Uh Wilmer, I know you're my moms boyfriend and all but, this is awkward." Kalani said looking down at cloth then back at Wilmer. Wilmer moved closer to Kalani. She got up, and put Isaac in the play in, and fixed her self. When she was fully decent she took off the cover, and laid it on the bed. When she turned around, Wilmer attacked her with a powerful kiss. Kalani tried to pull away, but he was too strong. The kiss was broken when the main door to the bus closed, and two voices were laughing. Wilmer pushed off of Kalani, and stood by the window. Kalani sat on the bed grasping her mouth. She couldn't believe her moms boyfriend kissed her.

"Kali, you okay?" Demi asked. Kalani snapped out of her thought, and started to hyperventilate.

"Can't breath, can't breath!" Kalani started to cry. Yasmin came in the room when she heard noises.

"What's wrong with Kali!" Yasmin yelled. Demi moved over to the bed with Kali holding her tight. She knew what to do, because Madison used to hypervenalate when she got nervous.

"Just hold on baby. Breath with me." Demi said, slowing down her own breath so Kalani could catch up. "It's okay. Just calm down. What happened?" Demi asked. Kalani started to cry, and leaned into Demi's shoulder.

"Here's some water, Kali." Yasmin said. She sat the glass on the nigh stand, and got on her side of the bed. "Are you okay now?" She asked.

"Yeah, i'm fine." She answered.

"I love you, Kali." Yasmin called. The little girl drifted off to sleep quickly after the long day.

"I love you too." Kalani said right before she let go of Demi and rushed to the bathroom. Everything that she had eaten had come back fast and hard. Demi came behind her, and held her hair.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Demi asked. She leaned on the wall, as Kalani rinsed out her mouth.

"I can't talk about it." Kalani said. She pushed pas her mom and went back in the room with her son, and sister. Before Demi could come in the room, Kalani shut the door in her face.

"1 step foward, 2 steps back." Demi sighed. She sat on her  bunk, and laid her head in her hands. Her thoughts got the best of her, and tears started to flow. "She's just tired. It'll be better in the morning." Demi tried to reassure herself. The only reassuring thought was Wilmer, asleep in his bunk across from her.
