Kelsey's POV
"Leave her alone for awhile" I requested as Nick tried to follow Demi upstairs. He glanced at her before coming back down to sit with me.
"I've learned to give her some space before she's ready to talk"
We came straight to my house after that tweet popped up on her screen. Before it was to late, I went in and changed the password so we would still have access on the account. Demi sat silently the whole drive. She was broken and I knew it. She hadn't talked in over an hour. Not a yes, not a no, not even a shrug. Her eyes just stared blankly ahead without an expression on her face.
"What do we do" Nick fretted as I pulled a blanket over my shoulders.
"We wait until tomorrow after she sleeps. I want you to talk to her as less as possible. She still has fresh wounds from you leaving her" I demanded
"Leaving her?" Nick questioned. His tone took a dramatic turn. I motioned for him to lower his voice a little.
"She broke up a relationship that barely existed" he whispered angrily.
I sighed and leaned back into the couch. I switched on the TV and eased down into it. "I'm too tired to argue. Blankets are in the closet. You can sleep here or downstairs. Don't go near Demi, I want her to get as much rest as possible."
He nodded and headed down the stairs. I didn't hear from him the rest of the night. As soon as I started drifting off, I saw Demi's shadow appear at the top of the stairs. She made her way down slowly. She look terrible. Her lips began to tremble at the sight of me. I motioned her into my arms and she snuggled into my chest. Demi was like my little sister even though she was only one month younger. She quietly cried herself to sleep. I didn't know what to do. She was loosing her job, and now that I'm helping her, I'm going to loose mine.

"Morning" I said as Demi sat up off the couch. She rubbed her eyes and stretched. She sat silently and watched me gather blankets up and put them away.
"Wheres Nick?" She eventually said after studying the room. Her voice came out in a squeak. She barely had eaten or drank anything in the past day or so.
"He went to get something to eat." I told her as I joined her on the couch. "How are you feeling?"
"Good I guess. I mean I'm not supposed to be, I just lost my job. This is the end of my career" she added
"This is definitely not the end of your career. You're to good of a singer. Your fan base is to strong. Your personality is way to bright for someone not to pick you up" I told her. "This has been trending since last night." I turned my phone to her which to reveal that "#We'llMissYouDemi" was the number one trending topic worldwide.
She smiled brightly as she took the photo be from me. She read through thousand of heartfelt messages from her fans. Her face lit up as she began liking and retweeting everyone she read. I couldn't help but smile also. It was the first time I saw her genuinely happy in awhile. It was refreshing to see her skin glowing again.
"I knew I had great fans" she said softly. "I can't just leave them like this. I promised them more". She opened notes and began to type something. I didn't stop her because I didn't want that smile to fade. I watched as she wrote at a quick paragraph and then shared it to Twitter and Instagram.
ddlovato: Hey guys! I realized that I promised you more. I'm not done yet! I will continue to release music but under a new management, team, and record label. I've come to a conclusion that my team was not the best and I needed to move on. I will update you on who will join me in this new chapter. Right now I have Kelsey by my side and she's all I need. New music will be released as soon as possible. I love you guys 💕
She posted her message and sighed. I could see the relief in her face. She turned to me and a broad smile came into her face. Before I knew it I was being pulled into a bear hug. "Thank you for sticking with me" she told me
"No problems Dems, you're my girl" I replied. She sat back down and began going through the replies. I could tell she was overwhelmed with the caring words.
"You got a notification" she said startling me out of my daze. She hadn't looked up from her phone though.
philymack: We are sorry to inform you that Demi's account has been hacked. She will not be coming back to release more music. I apologise for the confusion.
Fuck. I knew Phil wouldn't give up. He's always passionate about everything except promoting Demi's music.
"I need you to make a video. Phil is really trying to fight us in this. Make a video saying that you aren't leaving." I barked while snatching her phone. She frowned and then agreed. "You ready I said as I turned the camera on her.
"Hey Lovatics. There's current a situation. I tried to keep it as calm and non invasive as possible but this has gone to far. Phil has turned on me and no longer wants me on his label. I respected his wishes, but now he's trying to take over my account but I want you to know that even if he does I'm still here. I'm fighting this battle as hard as I can. Love you guys!"
I cut the video and her smile faded. I gave her a sympathetic looks as I posted the video. Within seconds there was an out pour of confusion.
"I want to go back to bed" Demi said as she placed two fingers in the bridge of her nose. "This day has been wild already".
"You can't go back to sleep silly, you've slept half the day". Her eyes went huge as she turned to the clock.
"You let me sleep until 3! Kelsey's what the hell". She screamed. I chuckled at her outburst.
"I had to, you had a long day" I replied. She rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to her phone.
"Who's hungry" Nick said as he entered my house.
"I'm starving" I announced and practically ripped the food from Nick. He chuckled as he walked over to Demi.
"How are you feeling" I heard him say as I anxiously plated food. I hadn't eaten anything and I was beyond starving. I listened vaguely as they continued their chatter.
"Make sure you eat as much as you can" I said as I placed the food infront of Demi. She sighed heavily when those words escaped my mouth. I glared at her briefly to make sure she heard me.
"I will" she announced and picked up her fork.
"Good" I said pleased that she was listening to me.

A few hours later
My phone began to buzz, and when I saw who was calling my heart sank.
"My sister is calling I got to take this" I said quietly trying not to interrupt the movie.
"What the fuck do you want Phil." I snapped as soon as he answered.
"I see you and Demi think you can play games. Just know that I have the power in this situation. I have all the record labels, mangers, and producers on my side. Don't get to ahead of yourself. And oh yeah, as of now you're no longer needed at Island or Hollywood Records. The next time you'll hear about me is through my lawyer" Phil chuckled.
"Lawyer? You should be hearing from mine. Demi still had two more years under your label. You're the one who should be being sued. I'm not giving up without a fight. See you in court" I said briefly before hanging up the phone.
"Who's the best lawyer you know" I questioned appearing in the door frame.
"We're going to war" I smirked
