From A No Name To A Lovato

CH 5

Later that day Demi's family all left except for Dallas. Dallas wants me to eventually Demi about Sarah. May I just say it's like 8 o'clock and Dallas is in here trying to make me understand that it's okay for Demi to know. I on the other had am still not very comfortable to tell people my life story. Also, Demi is putting Tyler to bed as we are speaking. "Dallas, I'm not telling her and that's final." I said. "Demi needs to know, Raven." Dallas said. "No, she doesn't. Sarah was a huge fan of hers. You don't get it. Living with your dead best friend's idol is hard." I said. "Raven, what if the people try to get you into drugs? What are you going to do then?" Dallas asked. "Not one thing because I saw firsthand what happens to a person and how people can act for money. Just because Sarah did it doesn't mean I'm going to do it!" I yelled "Raven." Dallas said. "Don't try, the Raven I'm sorry, BS. It's all just BS!" I yelled. I had gotten into Dallas's face and was glaring at her. "What's going on in here?" Demi asked walking into my room. "Nothing." I said as I was still super close to Dallas. "If you don't tell her, I will right now." Dallas said. Dallas had backed up some and was switching glances between Demi and myself. "Fine. The friend's grave you picked me up at, she did drugs. She died protecting me from her drug dealer." I said. "Why didn't you want to tell me that?" Demi asked. "Well you used to do drugs, and I don't know what would trigger you. Also, she was a fan of yours." I said. "Oh." Demi said. "You could have told me that." Demi added. "How? Like, hey Demi I had a friend who did drugs and died by getting shot by her drug dealer. Demi, I was six when this happened, I had to watch a friend get shot." I said. "Raven, I'm sorry." Demi said. "I was brought into the middle of it. Her drug dealer was using me to get the money from her." I said. "No six-year-old should have that happen to them. Raven, I'm hoping you don't get into drugs or alcohol." Demi said. "I won't." I said. "Good." Demi said. Both Demi and Dallas walked over to me and hugged me. "Now go to sleep." Demi said. "Actually, could you two stay here?" I asked. "Yes." Demi said. "Yeah." Dallas said.

The next morning, I woke up first. "Demi." I whispered poking her. "Go back to sleep." Demi said sleepily. "I want food." I said. "Get Dallas." Demi said. At that point Demi had closed her eyes and fell right back to sleep. "Don't even try. It's too early." Dallas said. "Fine. I'll be right back." I said. Demi put Tyler in her bed last night because she planned on sleeping with him not knowing she'd fall asleep in my room.

Walking into her room I had saw Tyler trying to get out of her bed. "Waven, can you help?" He asked. "Yep." I said. "Where is Mommy?" He asked. "My room. Want to help me wake her and Aunt Dallas up?" I asked. "Yes!" He said excitedly. "Now when we get into my room you must be very quiet, so they don't hear you." I said. "Okay." He said in a whisper. I picked him up and put him on my side.

When we got to my room, I put him on my bed very softly, so the bed wouldn't move. "Mommy, wake up!" He yelled in Demi's ear. I had doubled over in laughter watching him sit on her shoulder while poking her shoulder. Demi rolled over and flipped herself to be on top of Tyler. Dallas had woken up and was watching this go down too. Demi started to tickle Tyler causing Tyler to laugh loudly. "Am I awake now?" Demi asked Tyler. "Yes." Tyler said. "Did your sister put you up to this?" Demi asked. "Yes." Tyler said. "Dallas get her." Demi said. Dallas got up and walked over to me. "Please, don't." I said. Dallas ran at me and caught me before I even had a chance. Dallas carried me over to the bed and then put me on it. Demi got on top of me and then started to tickle me. "Mom." I laughed. I already had to pee and now she was making me have to pee worse. "Please stop Mom." I said. "No." Demi said smiling. I started to kick my legs around trying to get her off me. "Dallas, hold her legs down." Demi said laughing. "Got it." Dallas said. Dallas sat on my legs and started to tickle my feet. This caused me to laugh even harder. "Will you ever have Tyler wake me up like this again?" Demi asked. "No." I laughed. "Okay. I think she gets it." Demi said. Demi and Dallas both got off me and then I ran to my bathroom.
