For the love of a daughter

Mad

-*DALLAS POV*-

"WHAT DID YOUR LAST FREEKING SLAVE DIE OF!" We heard someone shout and caused us all to laugh a little. Brook stood on the patio and looked up her eyes scanning all our faces before Eddie duecided to speak up.

"Hey Brook. " We all smiled at her but she just started not knowing what do, mum took a step forward to hug her but she stumbled back. Demi walked out and looked confused at the situation and like everyone was wasn't expecting this to be Brooks reaction.

"Baby it's okay. " I heard Demi whisper and those words seemed to calm Brook and she edged forward and into mums arms.

I looked at her she seemed so broken and fragile like one little thing could knock her over but I knew from what Demi has told us about her she could deffinitly hold her own.

Once she had greeted us all and hugged everyone she seemed to be a little more relaxed, her and Maddie headed up to her room and Demi, mum, Eddie and I sat down at the table but the air was filled with tension, everyone had their minds on Brook.

-*DEMIS POV*-

Everyone looked down at their teas not knowing what to say, I went to speak but mum got there before me.

"How's she been doing the last few days, while she was away. " Mum asked braking the smothering silence.

"Not great, she relapsed but she did save her and Lauren from being lost. " I let out a weak smile.

"She's too thin. " Dallas blurted out not thinkimg what she was saying. I saw Eddie nod in agreement.

"That's not the half of it. " I muttered back knowing I haven't been totally honest with them about how far this is going.

"What do you mean Dem?" Dallas's voice was firm but her eyes held sadness.

"If she doesn't gain then she's getting secontioned." I let a tear slip from my eye,mum reached out and wiped it away.

"How long as she got before that?" Eddie asked me.

"Till Christmas and if not then after Christmas she'll go into treatment."

"Eddie come with me a sec. " Mum got up and went out the back with Eddie, I just stared at them as they walked out.

I got up and put my mug into the sink, I felt Dallas's arm wrap round me and pull me into a hug. I breathed in her scent, she smelt like home like Texas.

"She'll pull through Demi."

"But what if she doesn't Dall, I've already walked in on her barley breathing body covered in her own blood what if next time I don't get to her in time, what if I loose my baby girl. " I broke into sobs and Dallas held onto me tighter whispering sweet things to me.

"Demi that's all what if's okay." I nodded my head and wiped my eyes. Mum and Eddie walked back in and stood facing us.

"Dem me and Eddie wondered if you want us to stay till after Christmas I think it would help Brook knowing there's always someone in the house and we can all keep a better eye on her. " I smiled at my mum and she knew that was a yes. Having mum round to help with makes things easier, that's what family is for.

"How you getting on? " I asked her.

"Really well ya know she's a mini you. " We both laughed but it was cut short by shouting coming from upstairs.
