Saved By You- A Demi Lovato Fanfiction

Chapter 8 part 3

Colton POV

I go downstairs and just as I thought my dad is drunk. He only came home drunk once and it didn't end well. Grace was at a friends house then. Now she's here ad I gotta get dad out of here.

"Hey son." He says. I take the beer out of his hand.

"Dad you gotta get out of here." I say.

"Why? It's my house."

"Dad c'mon leave." I say grabbing his arm. He pushes me back so I push him back harder. We start to get physical. It's not new. Whenever I find him drunk we fight. He ends up throwing me through the coffee table.

"Fuck!" I yell. My dad stops. I look up to see Demi surprised and Gracie crying in her arms.

"Who the fuck is this?" My dad asks. I struggle to get up.

"My girlfriend and your gonna leave her alone. Same with Gracie."

"Gracie is my daughter." He says slurring his words.

"Then why don't you act like a father?" He hits me with the beer bottle and I fall. Gracie starts to run away and Demi follows her. I hear the cops come. They put my dad in handcuffs. They help me up and give me a rag to put on my head.

"We got a call from your neighbors. Would you like to tell me what's going on?" I don't lie. I want his drunk ass away from Gracie until he gets better. They take him with them but since this is his house he won't get into that much trouble. Maybe for hitting me on the head but that's really it. They tell me I'm gonna need stitches but other than that I'm fine. I make a doctors appointment for tomorrow. I close the door and clean up the glass before I check on my girls.

I knock on the bathroom door since they locked it.

"Guys it's just me. Open the door." Grace opens the door and immediately hugs me crying. Demi does the same.

"What the fuck?" She whispers in my eat.

"I told you he was an alcoholic... I didn't think he would come home drunk. He's suppose to be at work. I'm sorry." I whisper.

"Cole? What's wrong with dad?"

"Nothing Grace. We're gonna go for a little bit so go get some stuff." She walks upstairs and I look at Demi.

"That's why I didn't ask you to come... I don't mind that your here but I didn't want you to meet my dad... I'm sorry he scared you." She puts his hand where he hit me with a bottle.

"You still have glass in your head... C'mon." We go into the kitchen and she gets the glass out of my head.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to surprise you." She says.

"No I'm sorry. I just don't want you thinking bad about my dad... No matter what he does he has done nothing but good to us. This is only the second time he's gotten physical and it's the beer. I want to get him help but don't really have job. I get up through because I do gigs with..." I remember I never told her about the magic. "Never mind... The things is he worked his ass off for me and Gracie for money. He wasn't the most ideal dad but he cared about us."

"I know what it's like. I did a lot of things I regret when I was drunk too... He just scared me."

"I know and I'm sorry." I pack some clothes and we start driving.

"Where are we going?" Gracie asks.

"Come back to LA with me!" I say.

"I don't know demi."

"Come on! You guys can come on tour with me. We have right bunks and it's just me, Max, my makeup artist Jen, and my manager. I get the big bed in the back so there's like... Five left... Gracie?"

"Yeah! Please Colton!"

"I'll think about it. For now we're going into a hotel." Me and Gracie pout. He shakes his head and I give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Happy Birthday." I say.

"Yeah yeah."
