Lost In the Moment

Chapter 12

Alex's POV:

I wake up and roll over, seeing Demi sleeping beside me. Last thing I remember from last night is falling asleep in Demi's car. She must have carried me up. I gently wiggle out if Demi's embrace, careful not to wake her up. I go and grab some sweat pants and a black v-neck tshirt and go to the bathroom to clean up. When I take off my shirt, I feel a pain in my left wrist. Oh fuck. I forgot about that. I go into the cabinet and get some bio oil and gently rub it over the cuts. As always, I regret it. After cleaning it up, I change and go back out to Demi. I slide back into bed and Demi's arm encircles me again. I drift back off to sleep, but after a short while, I feel Demi begin to stir. She opens her eyes lazily and looks at me. "Hey Alex." I smiley my dorky grin back at her. "Hey Demi." She stares at me for a minute. My grin isn't a typical grin. It's sort of a smirk, similar to that emoji that you can use in multiple situations. 😏. Yea that one. I smile on my left side and it's pretty cute. "Your smirk is the cutest thing ever Alex!" I laugh at how cute she is. "Not as cute as you!" Demi laughs her cute little laugh and hugs me tight. "Alex, um, last night, when I carried you in, I saw your wrist..." Oh shit. Oh shit. What do I say to her? Oh my god. What if she hates me for it? "... And I wanted to let you know, that I'm here for you, and that I really care about you. Don't hesitate to call me at any time, alright?" I sniffle a little and Demi sees the tears welling in my eyes. "Baby, it's okay, you're stronger than you know, and I won't leave you." She runs her fingers through my hair as I begin to calm down, drifting back off into a peaceful sleep.

Demi's POV:

Alex falls back asleep, and I get up out of bed, softly closing the door. I'm really upset about Alex cutting. I just want to give her the world, and for her to be happy. And I want to do my best to make that happen. I walk into the living room and settle down on the couch and turn on Pretty Little Liars. I get through a few episodes when I feel my phone vibrate. It's Maddie. "Hello?" "Hey Demi. Where are you! You didn't show up last night." "Oh I stayed the night at Alex's apartment. But Maddie, uh I gotta ask you about something..." "Anything Demi. You can trust me." "Well, uh, last night... I saw Alex's wrist... And..." "She cuts? Doesn't she Demi?" I sniffle a little. I feel my eyes start to well up at the thought. "Yea..." "I'm so sorry Demi. I know it's hard. But you need to be there for her. Just don't let her feel alone. You can only do so much, but I believe in you Demi. And I like Alex. Take care of her Demi. Okay?" "Okay Maddie. Thanks... It just worried me. I remember how I felt when I cut... And I just don't want her to be in pain." "Talk to her about it Demi. Be the best you can to her and don't leave her side." Right after Maddie says this, the bedroom door opens, and a yawning Alex emerges. "Okay Maddie. I love you. Later." I hang up my phone and Alex comes and sits by me on the couch. "Hi Alex." "Hey Dems. What's up?" "Oh nothing much, just watching Pretty Little Liars. How'd you sleep?" "Well, thank you. So uh... I guess you're gonna ask questions now... About my wrist..." I shake my head. "No Alex, I won't ask. You can tell me when you feel comfortable. But you can ALWAYS talk to me. About anything. No matter what. Okay?" Alex slides over and cuddles into my side. "Okay Demi. Thank you. You're amazing love." I kiss her forehead and hit play on the tv. Not as amazing as you. I think to myself as the theme song plays...
