Future Now Tour (Demi Lovato) COMPLETED

Chapter 88

SAMMIE POV:

"Dems?" I asked. "Yes darling." She smiled. "Are you okay with the setlist?" I asked and then showed her the setlist. It hasn't changed that much but it's also her concert so I have to ask her first.

"Of course love. What charity will you be raising money for?" She asked. "I don't know if I can tell you." I looked down.

"Hey hey, you can tell me anything. You know that." She whispered. "I just don't know how." I answered.

"How about, you start by telling me the name of the charity?" She suggested. "It's for those in need of those who have experienced rape or abuse." I managed to get out.

"Why did you choose that charity my love?" She asked, but she knows why I did. She just wants to get it out of me. I understand tho, I'd do the same.

"Because that's what happened." I said. "At that house?" She asked. "Yeah."

"Come here sweetheart." She said and pulled me into a hug. "Have you told the police?" She asked. "Yeah, Wilmer knows everything."

"It's good that you told him Sam. He won't do any harm, he'll help you as much as he can." She weakly smiled at me. "I know. It was just very hard to get out the whole story. It'll take a while before I can talk about it." I said.

"I know love. How about we get changed into some comfy onesies and then get some Starbucks before the serious work?" She asked and took my hand. "That'd be nice. Can Marissa come too?" I asked her.

"Already calling!" She grinned and called Marissa.

On our way I felt a bit anxious. Do you know that feeling like you feel as if someone's watching you? Like, every step you take? That's how I feel right now.

I just don't have faith in some people anymore. I used to think that everyone has a good side, and maybe they had, in the past. I just can't imagine why someone would do such terrible things to other people.

"Babe, you okay?" I heard Demi ask. "Yeah, I guess." I said, still a bit anxious. "What is it Sam?" I now heard Marissa ask.

"I feel like someone's watching us."

"Sweetheart. Maybe it's better if you take some days off." She said. "I agree." Demi added.

"You guys know that I don't want to do that. You've never been one of those fans, waiting for ages till they finally see their idol. I have and I know exactly how heartbreaking it is when it gets cancelled." I said.

It's the truth. When you wait a couple of months, even years, it's just heartbreaking when it gets cancelled out of nowhere. I'm not doing that for mine of Demi's fans.

"Okay, but you are going to take some time off in your schedule. Cancel some meetings or interviews, I want you to get more rest. I can see that you're exhausted from not sleeping and I'm guessing you'll have trouble sleeping for the next few days." Marissa said and Demi just nodded and drove off to the arena with Starbucks in her hand.

"I'll see what I can do." I mumbled. "I'm doing this for your own good Sammie." Marissa said and took my hand. "I know Mom. I'm really trying my best to keep up the happy faces but I just can't at this point."

"Come here." She said and gave me a big hug. "It's all going to be alright. Trust me. Give yourself some space and time." She said and then we arrived at the arena.

"What are we going to do first today?" Demi asked. "We have a meeting in about 5 minutes about the setlist change. Then we'll have the meet & greets and the soundcheck. After that you guys go into make up and then we're ready." Marissa said.

"Wait, what about all the other things we usually do?" I asked. "I made sure the guys did it this morning." She smiled.

"Thanks mom." I smiled at her and then we walked off to the meeting room.

After the meeting we did a couple of meet and greets and then went off to the soundcheck.

It all happened very, very quickly. Before I knew it I was in the make up room.

This was a good distraction. It helped me to get my mind off everything that happened.

I'm quite nervous for the charity donation and Rise Up. I don't want the world to know what happened but I do want others to help people who have experienced these terrible things.

Not for me though, I have a loving family and a safe place to stay. Some people don't have that and that's what the charity donation is for today. Everyone deserves a chance.

Once the make up's done, Marissa walked in.

"You ready sweetheart?" She asked. "I am. Thank you mom, for everything." I smiled and gave her a hug.

I'm just thankful for everyone around me. For the people who have supported me through the last few years of my life.

"You look gorgeous." Demi said with her mouth wide open. "Close your mouth Dems, you'll catch flies." I chuckled. "But so do you baby. You look amazing." I smiled and gave her a warm hug.

"You should wear that kind of eye shadow more often. It fits you." I smiled whilst looking at her eyes.

She's wearing a gorgeous shade. It's kind of red but also pink. It's not that shiny and bright, it's a bit of a dark colour. It's just gorgeous.

I could hear everyone screaming and freaking out. Then 3...2...1... And we'll go on!

During Rise Up, a video is played on the background. I didn't know that my mom managed to do this.

It's a video of how it all started. One of the first video's I have ever made with Demi and Marissa. One with Demi's family. One with my friends.

At the end of the song I was in full tears. I gave Demi a big and long hug.

We continued the show and had a lot of fun on stage. We also invited a girl to sing along. We love doing that.

Sometimes it really amazes me how much talent they have. Then I just don't understand why they aren't up here every night.

We're almost at the end of the show but saw Marissa a bit freaked out back stage. I didn't have time to talk to her but I definitely will after the concert.

Once we were doing the charity donation, we had a screen which was counting the donations. Our fans are just amazing because it kept coming.

We kept the donation screen on but then went on to the last song.

During the song I heard something weird. It was really loud. It wasn't a scream but I could see people panicking in the crowd.

What could it be?

Then I hear it again, a bit louder this time. I feel my eyes tear up for some reason and my lungs are starting to itch. This is where Marissa comes on stage with a security guard and takes us off.

"Mom what the fuck is going on?" I asked in panic.

"I just need you to get out of here, right now."
