Alpas (A Demi Lovato Fan fiction)

Chapter 53-Fighter

Demi's POV

The next morning, we all waited in anticipation, hoping that today would finally be the day Aurie would wake up.

Dr.Flynn, who was looking after Aurie, walked past us in the hallway while talking to one of the other doctors, a clipboard in his hand.

"Dr.Flynn!" my mom called out.

"Yes?" he asked in a polite manner, stopping in his tracks and looking back at us.

"Umm...is there any information on Aurelia Lovato?" she asked nervously, walking towards him.

"We are keeping a close eye on her Mrs.De la garza. We assume she wake up today. Her vitals are getting better, and the cuts too, though they will take a much longer time to heal" he explained carefully.

"Can-can we sit with her?" my mum asked.

We all looked at the Doctor, hoping he would let us.

"Of course. You can go right in. We encourage the loved ones to talk to the patient, we've seen it helps a lot, as a matter of fact but only family is allowed inside, no one else. I'm sorry." he said, shooting a sympathetic smile towards Wilmer and Noah and then towards us.

I looked at Wilmer and Noah, a dejected look on their faces.

"They're family too" I spoke up.

"Miss Lovato..." he started to explain but I cut him off.

"Dr.Flynn please. We need them with us" I urged, my voice desperate and pained.

He sighed defeatedly then nodded.

"Alright. I see you've been through a lot already. They can accompany you inside but please don't make too much noise" he said.

My face lit up for the first time in days and I smiled wide.

"Thank you!" I beamed and soon we all entered the room.

Quietly, we entered the room one by one, shutting the door without making a noise. My smile instantly faded as I stared at Aurie's defeated body.

There was a nurse in the room, her short brunette hair hiding her face as she cleaned up the already tidy room.

I walked over to Aurie's bed and sat on one of the three stools near it, softly pulling it close to the bed, just enough for me to able to hold her hand.

I circled her palm as I stared at the endless stitches on her arms, the bandaids stained red.

I could see the faint white lines of her previous cuts and felt a terrible ache in my heart. I could see her bones sticking out, her collarbone evident as though there was no flesh and her ribs, the same way.

She looked so broken, frail and delicate.

"She's a fighter, you know" the nurse spoke up.

I lifted my head up at her as she looked at me. I read her name tag-Avery Brown.

"Ever since the day they bought her in, I've been taking care of her. I've kept a close eye on her. She's a really strong girl. Don't lose hope because she will fight through this" the nurse said to me.

I nodded in response, a small smile made it's way on my face.

"Thank you" I uttered quietly but loud enough for her to hear.

Just then I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and hold me close.

Maddie.

That's when I realised I was crying and so was Maddie.

"Oh Mads..." I cried out as I held her. She was crying a lot more than I was, her eyes were puffy and bloodshot.

You could see the pain, the worry and the tiredness through those beautiful eyes.

"She's gonna be okay baby girl...she'll be okay" I said, as I tried to calm her down.

"Wh-what i-if sh-she d-doesn't?" she stuttered through the sobs.

I shook my head and embraced her tightly.

"She's a warrior baby girl, just like you" I whispered.

After having some dinner, the five of us sat in the room while Noah and Wilmer went out for some air.

Though there were only three chairs in the room, all of us sat around Aurie. While Dallas, my mom and dad sat on the stools, Maddie and I crouched down on our knees.

I held her palm as did my mom and Maddie held the other one. Dallas and my dad just sat there, waiting and praying.

We all got to talking, trying to distract ourselves but we all knew it just wasn't the same without her and how could it be? Aurie was just as important in the family like all of us, I just wish she knew that.

Out of nowhere, I felt Aurie's finger move slightly. We gasped at the same time, our heads snapping towards Aurie and then at each other. We all got up, grasping softly on her hands, that same hope and faith lurking behind all of our eyes.

Her eyelids flickered and she struggled to open her eyes but when she did, she stared right into mine.
