Saved By You- A Demi Lovato Fanfiction

Chapter 7 part 2

Demi POV

He just completely freezes.

"Colton?" I say. He looks at me.

"Do you... Um..."

"Colton?" He looks at me.

"Are you trying to ask me out?" He nods. I smile. "Well then I'll be happy to go out with you." He smiles and I give him a hug. "So how did you get here?"

"I drove. "My eyes widen.

"That's like a day of driving."

"Yeah. We left once I got off the phone with you yesterday and didn't stop until I got here."

"That's like thirty hours with no sleep...."

"It was worth it." He says. I smile.

"Well wanna come lay down? We have room."

"Sure." Be calls Gracie and we go inside.

"Hey!" I call the girls. "They all come down in their pajamas since it's late.

"Lacey, Olivia, Bree, this is Colton and Gracie. Colton and Grace, this is Lacey Olivia and Bree."

"Hi." Colton says. They take Gracie to go watch a movie with them and we go up to my room.

"This is nice." He says looking at the boxes.

"I just moved in here today. It has a lot of work to do." I say.

"Well hopefully I can help." I smile and nod.

"Come sit with me." I say. He sits on the bed next to me.

"So how are you doing?" He asks.

"Okay. Better since I went to treatment but I still have my moments."

"What are you talking about?" He asks.

"Well I'm not like a car. I can't go in and be fixed. I still have my moments when I don't wanna eat or when I wanna cut."

"How do you stop yourself from doing it?"

"I talk to someone I care about. My therapist told me that the reason I let my addictions take over was because I was keeping it in. When I talk to someone it takes away the power that it ever had on me."

"Well I hope one day I can be the one you trust." I smile. "I wanna say thank you." He says.

"Why?" I ask.

"Because of Gracie. She came home and would not stop talking about you. You helped her when I couldn't even do that."

"Don't say that. You helped your sister a lot... She told me about when you were younger." He looks down. "I'm sorry about your mom and I think it's really nice what you did for your sister."

"I was all she had left. My dad... Well she didn't know this but he's an alcoholic. He's either working or getting himself drunk..." I take his hand.

"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." He nods.

"I seriously thought this would be awkward but it's like I can tell you anything." He says.

"Well I think that night at the treatment center got us close...."

"Yeah. I'm sorry about that." He says.

"It's okay... I kind if liked it." He smiles. We lean back so our backs are against the headboard. He's soon asleep. I smile and kiss his cheek. I lay my head on his shoulder and fall asleep.
