Alpas (A Demi Lovato Fan fiction)

Chapter 63-Decisions

Aurie's POV

"WE KISSED! OH MY GOD, WE ACTUALLY KISSED!!!!! IVYYYYY YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW!!!" I screamed, dancing all around my room.

"AURIEEEE!!!! THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU BABE!" Ivy screamed, just as enthusiastically as me.

I laughed out loud as I fell on my bed, adjusting the laptop so I could see Ivy's face properly.

"So, what's going on with you? How's Amber? How's the group?" I asked, eager to know how everyone was.

"They're great! Everyone's doing good. Irwin's started making some money by working at the nearest store. It's a small job, but we need the money. I'm looking for something too, but working at a shop is not something I wanna do" she said.

I felt bad for them. Ivy and Irwin had been on their own for so long, I didn't even know how that must feel like.

"Don't give me that pity look" Ivy said, getting annoyed.

"Fuck, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry" I mumbled. "But hey, you ever need anything, I'm here okay?" I added, my face breaking into a smile.

She smiled and nodded in response.

Just then I heard a doorbell ring through the screen. Ivy looked towards something, then me.

"I should go Aurie. Amber's here!" she said.

I chuckled and blew her a kiss.

"Love you!" we said at the same time, chuckled and ended the call.

A sorrowful feeling formed at the pit of my stomach as the screen went blank. I missed her so much! I missed the group, although I wasn't close to them, they had let me into their small world without any judgement and I was thankful.

I shut the laptop with a sigh, deciding to go downstairs and spend some time with my family.

I opened the door and immediately bumped into Demi.

"Ouch!" we groaned.

"Sorry!" we apologized at the same time.

We stared at each other and burst into laughter.

"What's up Dems?" I asked, once I calmed down.

"We have to talk Ree. Let's go down, yeah?" Demi said, her tone changing.

Nervousness filled me up and I nodded although I didn't want to go down.

"Hey Aurie! Come on baby girl, sit down" mum said.

"W-what's happening?" I asked as I sat down on a chair at the dining table.

Mum, dad, Demi and I were the only ones there. Dallas was busy and Maddie was with her friends.

"We booked you a room at Timberline. Next week, the 16th" they said.

I stared at them, my eyes wide.

"I-I...no." I said.

"Aurie..." my dad started.

"NO! You never even asked me! How-how c-could you just decide on your own?!" I said, getting off the chair angrily.

"Because we knew if we gave you an option, you would do exactly what you're doing right now" my mum said sternly.

I rolled my eyes and was about to storm away, when Demi grabbed my arm, hugging me close.

I sighed and hugged her back. She was the only one that truly knew how I was feeling right now.

"Aurie...we don't want you to struggle. We want you to be happy and free, don't you?" Demi asked, breaking the hug.

I grit my teeth, taking a seat on the chair once again.

It was quiet as I thought about how I could possibly do this. Yeah, I had the motivation a few days back but now, all of a sudden it seemed impossible.

I played with the hem of my sweatshirt, pondering over the thought.

My eyes started tearing up as I realised what my life had come to.

I was broken.

The young girl, who was fond of flying had her wings broken by people whose opinion never once should've mattered.

"I-I don't t-think I-I can stay away from you" I said, tears slipping down my cheeks.

"Oh honey..." my dad cried out as he walked over to my side and hugged me.

"We can't either but if it means you get better, we'll have to sweetheart, and hey, it isn't for long. Just until they see a change in you, and we'll come meet once you earn your privileges" my dad said in an effort to console me in some way.

I cried in his arms as he held me like I was a 5 year old again. My mum was sniffling, Demi too and so was my dad.

I realised how much all of this was affecting not only me but my family, Noah and Ivy too. I had to get better. If not for myself then for the people who loved me and were hurting to see me struggle.

I quieted down, my tears stopping.

They gave me space, quietly sat opposite me, letting me make my decision.

My mind swarmed up with thoughts. The regret, the guilt, the hurt, the pain, the insecurities-there was so much built up inside of me from the past few years, all of which I wanted to let go.

Maybe going to treatment would help me do that well, maybe not completely but I knew it would lead me to days where I wouldn't think about it every second.

I wasn't ready but keeping in my mind everyone who mattered to me, I had to.

I needed to, for them.

I looked up at them, sighing and eventually coming to my decision.

"I'll go"
