Alpas (A Demi Lovato Fan fiction)

Chapter 67-Happy

-Three months later-

Aurie's POV

A feeling of relief and pure bliss engulfed me as I woke up.

I was finally getting out of here.

Don't get me wrong, I loved staying here. Every single person in this treatment centre had managed to shape me into a girl that was confident and strong. They had all been kind, caring and understanding since day one, and even on my worst days, they were loving.

But, home was the place I craved for for three months now.

My parents were gonna pick me up at 12, and I only had three more hours left here. I was going to meet everyone else back home at Texas and I was thrilled to go back home.

I had no sessions today. Emma had already told me everything she wanted to me to know in our last session yesterday and Dan, my nutritionist too had told me a bunch of things for me to remember.

From eating normally, to holding back the urges to cut or drink, I owed all of it to this treatment centre and my family.

I never once thought that I would be okay, but guess what? I was okay now. I was happy and I loved that feeling.

"Hey! Snap out of it girl!" Mae said, snapping her fingers in front of my face.

I blinked back to reality and smiled at her.

"Come on. We have something for you" she chuckled and grabbed my hand, taking me towards the sitting room.

"SURPRISE!" everyone yelled just as I entered.

My eyes grew wide and a huge smile broke out on my face.

"Oh my God! You really didn't have to do this, you know" I said, looking at the decorations all over the room, and the banner that read 'We will miss you!'

It wasn't much, but enough to let me know that I was loved.

"You deserve it Aurelia. You're a strong, resilient and absolutely beautiful girl. We love you and we're always gonna be there for you even after you walk out the doors of this centre" Zoe, my roommate said.

My eyes watered with happiness and I hugged her tightly. We sat down and played games and danced to songs like all of us in here didn't have a thing to worry about.

Then came the emotional part where they all took turns to say something meaningful to me, each of them making me cry.

Now it was my turn to say something and suddenly, I didn't have the words to thank each and every person in here that had helped me, whether they knew it or not.

Eventually, I started my speech, ending it with-

"I love you all so much! Each and every one of you in here is beautiful and amazing just the way you are"

It was 11:50 and, all I had were 10 more minutes left.

I embraced my friends that I had made in here, and all the nurses and doctors who had helped me the entire time I was here.

Wiping the bittersweet tears away, I walked to my room and grabbed my packed suitcases, taking them towards the reception area.

"You excited?" Abby asked me, as she looked up from her computer.

"So much more than just that!" I said grinning.

She chuckled and I ambushed her with a tight hug, telling her how much I'd miss her.

She hugged me back and ruffled up my hair, like she loved to do.

A loud car honk interrupted our sweet moment and I saw my mom get out of the car.

I shrieked with happiness, jumping up and down like a child at the sight of them and when they walked in, I hugged them so tight, as if I hadn't met them in years.

I cried as my parents held me close and I could feel them crying too.

My mom wiped her tears away as she looked at me.

"You look beautiful sweetheart!" my mom cooed, as she kissed my cheek.

"Thanks momma!" I said.

"Oh, I missed you honey. I missed you so much" my dad said, kissing my head.

"I missed you too Dad!" I said as we pulled away.

I wiped my tears away, smiling wide.

Dan came into the reception, greeting my parents.

"You just have to sign these two papers and you're good to go" Abby said to them.

"I'll miss you Aurie" Abby said, waving me goodbye.

"I'll miss you too Abby. Stay in touch" I said as I waved back.

In a matter of few seconds, I was out of the centre and into the open area, filled with flowers and plants.

I breathed in the air, feeling free and content.

I looked back at my parents who were talking to Dan and walked towards them.

"You remember everything I told you okay? You're beautiful Aurelia, don't let anyone tell you otherwise" he said.

"Thank you for everything Dan! I wouldn't have been where I am right now if not for you and everyone else in there" I said gesturing at the centre.

He smiled wide and hugged me as I hugged him back.

"Ready to go home baby?" my dad asked.

"Ready than I'll ever be!" I said grinning.
