ALEXIA POV

*****

So, it turns out that I passed out from lack of fat in my body. Now Demi is making me eat chips and other unhealthy stuff. My friends don't know that I must eat junk food, so I give my junk food to either Maddie or El and they eat it. Today is Demi's birthday and since she is my mother, I must get her something. I took Kay's offer and I am going to sing Tin Soldier for her. We gathered the family around and I see someone that I recognize.

"Oh, snap." I mumble when I see Maddie in the crowd.

"What?" Kay asks.

"Nothing. I just thought I saw something" I say.

I walk into the living room and I sit on the stool I had set out earlier.

I start to sing

He saw the ballerina standing on her one leg
Loved her in an instant, even from far away
Now what do you say
You want it so bad they tell you it's too late
You're still a proud soldier I wouldn't get in the way
Will you?

Don't worry, tin soldier you'll find where you belong
Be steadfast, Tin Soldier Tin Soldier
Soldier on

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You call her strong and powerful
Force to be reckoned with
She knows you're not unremarkable
She'll never let you quit

Don't worry, tin soldier you'll find where you belong
Be steadfast, Tin Soldier Tin Soldier
Soldier on

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Now they're getting closer
She's off her feet
The soldier and the dancer shared a kiss so sweet, sweet, sweet...
Oh, the paper girl got too close
She was in too deep
The boy who lit her world tore her paper heart into pieces

Don't worry, ballerina you'll find where you belong
Your strong ballerina, you are strong
Don't worry, ballerina you'll find where you belong
You're strong, ballerina, you are strong

Your strong ballerina, you are strong.

I finish the song, and everyone starts to clap.

"Lexi?" I hear someone among the family shout.

I know who it is immediately. I turn around and I run upstairs, and I go in to Demi's room and I lock the door.

I throw my guitar down on the ground and I lay on the bed and I start to cry.

"Lexi. Sweetheart, please come out." Demi says.

I don't answer.

It goes quite for a moment and I think Demi went back down stairs. All the sudden, I hear a click and the door opens and Demi walks in with Maddie behind her.

"Demi. You can stay. Please Maddie, leave." I say.

Maddie turns around to walk out and Demi grabs Maddie's arm and moves her back to the room.

"You guys will talk about it and I will be sitting in this chair right here. If anything gets ugly, I am right here." Demi says.

Maddie walks over to the bed and sits on it.

"Why did you not tell me?" Maddie asks.

"I have not told anyone. The only people who know that I live with Demi now is Herself, The Carlson's, Kay and now you. I was waiting for the right time. I did not know how to say that "Oh, hey. I forgot to tell you, But I now Live Demi Lovato." I say

"I am your aunt, you could have told me." Maddie says.

"Sorry. I didn't know." I tell her.

"Maddie, can I talk to you?" I ask.

"Sure, what's up?" Maddie asks.

"So, three months ago, when I told Lexi that I was her mother, she passed out. But the doctors said that she has been eating too much protein, she passed out. Has anything happened that might have provoked that?" I ask her.

"Well, not really. I mean, she does gymnastics, so maybe her coach is being too hard on her." Maddie says.

"Ok, thanks. Also, can you give me daily reports on what she is eating?" I ask her.

"Sure." Maddie says.

After Demi and Maddie left the room, I get off the bed and I walk into the bathroom. I walk over and stand in front of the mirror. Three months ago, my gymnastics team had an invited the Chinese National team for a meet. Their champ, Genji Cho. To beat her at worlds, I need to lose the weight.  There is a knock on the door.

"Come in." I say, letting my shirt drop and walking over to the shower.

"Where are you?" Demi asks

"I am in the bathroom. Getting in the shower." I yell.

Demi walks over to the bathroom and sits on the toilet seat.

"Why did you not tell me that you can sing?" Demi asks.

I lather my hair with shampoo.

"I don't know. I mean, I don't think that I am that good of a singer." I admit, rinsing my hair, then replacing it with conditioner

"Are you kidding me? You are an amazing singer. Almost better than me." Demi says

"That is a lie. I suck at singing and you know it. You are just trying to make me feel better cause you are my mother. That is why mom's do." I say

I get out of the shower and I wrap my hair in a towel and I change into a pair of high waisted light wash jeans and a black crop top.

"Hey. Don't say that. That is not true. Yes, I may be your mother, but that does not mean that you have to treat me like I am your sister." Demi says

"But..." Demi cuts me off.

"Do not even say you don't treat Kaylie like that because you do. Now look at me, yelling at you on my birthday." Demi yells.

I take one look at her and I turn around and I run to my room.

"Lexi, wait." Demi yells after me.

I reach my room and I close the door and I throw myself on the bed. I start to cry into my pillow, the cries growing louder with each passing moment. After a while, I start to sob. Then I start to hyperventilate. I faintly hear footsteps outside of the door. I try to stop sobbing but I can't breathe. I am having a panic attack. My breathing comes out in strangled sobs.

"Lexi, we are getting ready to cut the cake. Are you coming out?" I hear Kay ask.

I can't respond.

The door opens, and I fix my tear-filled eyes on Kay's deep brown ones.
