Saved By You- A Demi Lovato Fanfiction

Chapter 31 part 1-2

Colton POV

I get into the bathroom and undress Corey.

"Ready for your bath?" I ask. He nods. I run the bath and he gets in. I give him some of his bath toys that we brought.

"Ready to get out?" I ask after washing him.

"Can I play a little longer?"

"Sure..." I drain some of the tub so there's only a little water left in it and then walk out of the bathroom with a paper towel in my hand drying them.

I look on the couch and Demi's sitting there, leaning over, biting her nails. She's in a deep thought and hasn't even noticed I'm here. I think about whether to talk now or to talk when Corey's done but then realize I drained most of his bath so he should be fine by himself for a couple minutes.

"Demz." I say. She snaps out of her thoughts and stares at me. "You wanna talk?" She nods. I sit next to her and she takes a deep breathe.

"So I called my sister today..."

"Okay.." I say.

"She made some good points about how I don't tell people what's wrong and that's why I shut people out and I realize that I can't do that anymore."

I nod smiling on the inside that she finally is opening up to me.

"For the last couple weeks I couldn't figure out why I physically can't do anything that involves contact... But I had a dream last night about... My father." I stare at the sadness in her eyes. "The same thing happened when I was little... I wouldn't let anyone touch me for awhile. I was scared for people to have physical contact with me because..." She stops and looks down at her hands. I take her one hand in both of mine.

"It's okay... You can tell me." She nods and continues....

"My dad suffered from a mental illness... It wasn't his fault but at the time I was little... I felt like he had abandoned us and that he didn't love me anymore or my sister for what he did..." She pauses again. "I was four the first time I saw him drunk. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol. He never came home drunk in front of us but he did once... It was me and Dallas... Maddie wasn't born yet obviously. My Mom was at work so we had a babysitter. The babysitter left and we were alone with my dad..."

"He didn't..." I start off.

"No he didn't... But that's the closest I've ever been to..." She says referring to being raped... "At four years old... Dallas was older... I don't know what happened to her. She never told anyone. To be honest I haven't either. I haven't told Dallas everything but she knows... After that night it started to become more frequent that he came home drunk... Finally my mom left him and we were fine but it took so long to be able to trust people again... And then he died. And ever since then I can't... I can't do anything with anybody physically. To be honest... I get nervous just holding Corey and he's a three year old... I didn't realize that's what was wrong until now... That dream last night just creeped me out and it was the piece I needed to realize what was wrong and I'm sorry I haven't been able to do anything with you... I know you've been patient and I know you get pissed off..."

I shake my head and scoots closer to her as she lays her head on my chest. "I'm not pissed off. I never was... And I'm happy you told me and I completely understand. Take all the time you need. I'm not in any rush." She nods and I can tell just by sitting here she's nervous. I try to shake it off. I'm just in shock someone could do that to a little kid much less there own daughter...

"Daddy!" Corey says interrupting my thoughts. I look up as I see him butt naked, shivering and dripping water on the floor. "I'm done my bath." He says.

"Okay." I get up but Demi touches my arm.

"I'll get him." I nod and she walks after him as he waddles back to the bathroom shivering.

Demi POV

I follow Corey into the bathroom. I get his pull up. He still wears one to bed.

"I do it..." He says taking it out of my hands. He looks up at me. "Turn around!" He says covering his area with his pull up. I giggle and turn around. "Momma?" I hear. I turn around and laugh as I see Corey with both legs in one side of his pull up.

"Need help?" He nods. I take it off of him and put it back on right. I pick him up and take him into his bedroom. I put on his cars footie pajamas.

He jumps on the bed while I put his dirty clothes in a bag. I come in and he stops, sitting down on the bed smiling innocently since he's not allowed to jump on the bed. I smile and sit on the bed with him. He sits on my lap and I rest my chin on his head which is against my chest. He plays with the tips of my blonde hair. He soon looks up at me.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Nothing. Mommas just upset."

"Why?"

"Just because..." I say smiling at him. He leans up and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you though." He says. I smile.

"You know what. That's exactly what I needed to hear." He smiles and gives me a hug.

"Want me to stay until you fall asleep?" He nods.

"Can you sing?"

"Sure..." I start to sing a song that I wrote a while ago but never released called "The Other Me".

It's a song about the different emotions that I feel and how it effects me in the end. In this song the ending is good... Hopefully it can be like that soon. I sing a few more songs before Corey's knocked out. I lay him down and cover him up. It's the first time that I've felt safe and loved while physically connecting with someone since I found out my father passed.

I go find Colton and he's outside on the deck, sitting in the rocking bench. I sit next to him and lay my head on his shoulder. "

Is he asleep?" I nod. "Good. He had a long day." I nod. I look up at the stars, connecting them in any way to make something.

"Wanna join me for a shower?" I ask.

"You sure?" I nod and take his hand as I stand up. We get a quick shower together and then lay in bed.

I look at him staring at the ceiling. I put my hand on his cheek and move it to face me before planting a kiss on his lips. It gets heated as we both sit up, I throw a leg to the other side of him, now straddling his lap as our tongues battle for dominance. I put my hands under his shirt and rub his abs. He breaks the kiss breathing hard.

"You sure?" He asks.

"Yeah... I need to get over this or else I'll live in fear forever." He starts to kiss my neck. For a moment i think about that night when I four years old. I start to hyperventilate...

That is until I feel Colton's hands glide from my stomach to my back, his soft lips against the skin on my neck... This is the man I love and there's no reason to be afraid.

He's not my dad...

I look at him before pulling his shirt off and reconnecting our lips.

That's how we spent the rest of our night.
