Alpas (A Demi Lovato Fan fiction)

Chapter 8-Demi

Aurie's POV

I eventually got the strength to get up and wash my cut up arm. I washed off the blood from my arms, and then cleaned the floor with tissues. I was so sleepy and it was only 2 in the afternoon. I realized that in no time my mum would call us down for lunch, so I immediately got under the bed sheets and pretended to fall asleep.

"Ree, get up baby girl. We're going out" I heard someone say.

I knew it was Demi since she called me 'Ree'. It had always been our thing-she called me Ree and I called her Dem-Dems. No one else was allowed to use those nicknames except for us.

As I got up, I realized I wasn't wearing a hoodie. Fear engulfed me and I kept my arms hidden under the blankets. I looked at Demi with an innocent smile.

"Demi, I'm sorry about this afternoon. I didn't mean to...be so mean" I said feeling guilty.

"It's okay Ree.", she said giving me a smile.

I smiled back at her and then stared at the bed sheets sprawled across my bed.

"Hey Ree?" Demi said, though it sounded more like a question.

"Yeah?" I asked her, looking right into her chocolate brown eyes.

"Are you okay baby girl?" she asked, her voice soft and filled with genuine concern.

I gulped in fear and my gaze dropped to the blanket that was covering me.

"Yeah, of course" I said faking a smile.

I hated this. I wanted to tell her how badly I was hurting, but I decided to keep my mouth shut as my demons raged on me to not say a single word.

She tilted her head to the side and placed a finger under my chin, lifting it up, making me stare into her eyes once again.

"You know you can talk to me right?" she asked, hesitantly.

"Yeah, I know Dems. I just wasn't feeling well. I'm okay, I swear." I said faking another smile.

She looked hesitant but eventually nodded and got up from the bed.

"Alright! Come on, we're going shopping!" she said, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

I chuckled.

"Okay, let me get ready" I said to her.

She went out of the room and left me to get ready.

Demi's POV

Aurie hadn't come out of her room for 4 hours now.

We all decided to go to shopping since we had nothing else to do and were all bored.

Mum and Eddie were gonna go out for some work and so it was just gonna be Dallas, Maddie, Aurie and me.

I was so excited to spend some time with my sisters!

I went up to Aurie's room to see what she was up to. I knocked on the door but got no reply. I slowly opened the door and saw her sleeping peacefully.

She looked so adorable!

I went near the edge of the bed and slowly shook her.

"Ree, wake up baby girl. We're going out" I said quietly.

She moved around and then slowly opened her eyes. She sat up and looked at me with a small smile.

"Demi, I'm sorry about this afternoon. I didn't mean to...be so mean" she said in a sad voice.

I had completely forgot about that by now.

I smiled at her and said, "It's okay Ree."

She smiled back but I knew something was up with her.

When I had gone to her room in the afternoon, she was crying. There was definitely something going on, but before jumping to any conclusions I decided to ask her.

"Hey Ree?" I asked.

"Yeah?" she said, my eyes looking into her hazel ones.

"Are you okay baby girl?" I asked her.

As soon as I asked her that, her gaze dropped down and she stared down, the blankets suddenly seemed very interesting to her. 

She was lying.

I looked at her, tilting my head to the left, I placed a finger under her chin and lifted it up to make her look at me.

"You know you can talk to me right?" I said, hoping that she knew that.

"Yeah, I know Dems. I just wasn't feeling well. I'm okay, I swear." she said smiling. 

I knew her real smile and that wasn't it. I decided to not push her further to open up to me. She would when she was ready, but I silently hoped that she was saying the truth.

I just wanted my baby sister to be okay.

"Alright! Come on, we're going shopping!" I said to her excitedly, while getting off the bed.

She chuckled softly then said, "Okay, let me get ready".

I went out of her room to let her get ready, closing the door behind me.

There was only one question that was running through my mind the whole time I was getting ready-

Was she really okay?
