Alpas (A Demi Lovato Fan fiction)

Chapter 15-The Truth

Demi’s POV

I was so glad that Aurie had forgiven me but felt hurt at the same time that for so long she had believed that I did not love her.

Thankfully, everything was back to normal or so I thought.

“Alright, let’s go down for breakfast. Come on” I said to Aurie.

“I-I ate” she stuttered.

My head snapped towards her and met directly with her brown eyes. I don’t know why it was but I could not get myself to believe what she was saying was true.

“What did you eat?” I asked her.

She looked at me, her eyes wide and filled with fear, pain, hurt. So many emotions were seen in that one second in those beautiful brown eyes.

I knew instantly that Aurie was in fact lying this time, and I was sure of it.

I sat back down on her bed waiting for an answer.

Aurie’s POV

“What did you eat?” she asked me.

I could think of nothing.

Why couldn’t I think of anything?!

I looked at her then immediately dropped my gaze down.

I felt the bed dip in front of me and saw Demi sit back down once again.

“Aurie, did you eat honey?” she asked me once again in a soft voice.

My eyes teared up and I couldn’t get myself to look up at her and lie straight to her face. I had lied constantly and I could not do it anymore.

I shook my head, still looking down.

I heard her gasp softly and that’s when I looked up. I couldn’t hold in the tears any longer, I broke down.

“Oh, baby girl.” Demi said, almost in tears and soon embraced me tightly.

I let myself be held by her as I constantly cried. She patted my head comfortingly, running her hands through my messy hair.

“I’m sorry Demi, I’m sorry, I’m sorry” I said continuously through my tears.

“Shh...baby girl. It’s okay, it’s okay. You have nothing to apologize for. We’ll get you through this honey. I will get you through this, I promise” she said as she held me tightly.

Demi’s POV

“Aurie, did you eat honey?” I asked her again.

Her head was dropped down. Slowly, she shook her head.

It snapped in my head and I gasped. She looked right at me and started to cry.

It was now all clear to me, very clear. My tears welled up.

“Ohh baby girl” I said and moved towards her then pulled her in comfortingly.

She snuggled into me, sobbing badly. Her entire body was shaking and it seemed like her tears were not going to stop anytime soon.

Tears dropped down from my own eyes as I held my broken little sister. She had an eating disorder just like me. My heart broke at the fragile state of hers and I held her more tightly.

“I’m sorry Demi, I’m sorry, I’m sorry” she apologized repeatedly, her voice quivering.

I held her tighter, my heart breaking even more knowing that she thought this was her fault.

“Shh...baby girl. It’s okay, it’s okay. You have nothing to apologize for. We’ll get you through this honey. I will get you through this, I promise” I whispered into her ear as I held her trembling body.

My 15 year old sister was battling with her own mind. Knowing from experience, I knew this was never an easy battle, especially not one to be fought alone.

I failed to see through her facade, the same one I had worn for years.

I failed to realize that my baby sister was hurting.
