"Amanda come here please" Demi calls
"Yeah?" I say as I walk in the kitchen
"Why did I find this in the trash?" Mom asks raising an eyebrow
She's holding my report card that was mailed to me the other day. I had gotten mostly E's so I wanted to throw it away before she saw.
"It must've gotten mixed in with the stuff I threw away" I tell her
"Oh really?" Demi asks "I didn't see any other papers thrown away"
"I uh" I start to say
"Threw the report card away so I wouldn't see it" Demi finishes for me
"Yeah" I say quietly
"Go on upstairs we have to talk" Demi says sternly
I go up to my room and sit on my bed, I know Demi's about to lecture me. Demi comes in a few minutes later and sits next to me.
"I looked at your grades, so I understand why you wanted to hide it" Demi says
"I'm sorry" I say
"Why do you have so many bad grades?" Demi asks
"I've been so stressed and worried about the baby and if shawn will stick around I haven't thought about school" I confess
"Amanda" Demi sighs "everything will be just fine trust me on that"
"I want to, I really do" I say
"I know you're going through a lot but we will all be right here for you" Demi says
"I know, thank you" I say
"You do realize you're still in trouble for hiding the report card from me, right?" Demi asks
"Yeah" I say
"Tell shawn he can come over today but after that you're grounded for two weeks then bring me your phone" Demi tells me
"Alright" I say
Demi gets up and leaves then I send shawn a text. When I go downstairs to give Demi my phone Tristan crawls out from behind the couch.
"Bubba you scared me" I tell him
He laughs at me and runs away. I love that kid so much, he's adorable. I find Demi in the kitchen cooking dinner. I put my phone in her purse and start to help her.
"Phones in your purse" I tell her
"Okay" she says
"Have you heard from marissa?" I ask
"No" Demi sighs
"Call her, I know you don't want me in your business but there's obviously something going on and you two have been friends for too long to stop" I say
"I've tried calling her, she never picks up" Demi says
She starts tearing up so I drop what I'm doing and hug her.
"I just don't understand" she cries
"Mom it's going to be okay I promise" I say
"Why am I even crying in front of you?" Demi sobs "I'm supposed to be the strong one"
"You are strong, it's okay to cry I'll be right here the whole time" I say "I was a Lovatic who cared about you more than anything else in the world when you adopted me and now I'm you're daughter who is also a Lovatic I care about you even more than I did before if you need to open up to me I am and always will be right here"
"Thank you so much" Demi cries into my shoulder
"Guess who's home" marissa calls
"Finally" I grumble
"Be nice" Demi says firmly
"There you- have you been crying?" Marissa asks as she walks in the kitchen
Marissa immediately wraps her arms around Demi but I can tell its not a sincere hug.
"I need a shower I'll be back" Demi says pulling away from marissa
Demi leaves marissa standing dumbfounded. I go back to cooking and ignore marissa.
"What's her problem?" Marissa asks
"You" I say slamming down the spatula
"Me?" Marissa asks
"Where have you been the past like two months marissa? Mom is so upset you haven't been answering her or trying to talk to her at all and you just don't seem to care" I scream
I leave the house, I need to let off steam. My super overprotective side is coming out. I walk around the block 3 times before I'm calm enough to go back home. When I walk back inside I find suitcases by the door.
"Maddie what's going on?" I ask when I go upstairs
"Marissa and Demi got in a fight, apparently marissas been cheating on Demi" Maddie explains
"What" I scream
"Yeah so marissas moving out" Maddie says
"How's Demi?" I ask
"Not good" mass did says
I run up the stairs so fast it's not even funny. There's crying coming from Demi's room so I run in there and straight to demi. Her fists at curled up, knuckles turning white.
"Mom relax" I say "it'll be okay please calm down"
"She cheated on me" Demi cries
"I know but you have to calm down" I say
Demi loosens her hands a little, not much but enough to see red and silver.
"Mom uncurl your hands" I say sternly
"I can't" she whispers
"Please trust me" I say
Demi loosens up her grip then I uncurl her fingers. As soon as I see the blade she curls that hand back up.
"Let me have it mom you're stronger than that" I say
Demi just sits there so I start singing warrior and hold my hand out. Demi slowly calms down and drops the blade in my hand. I throw it in the toilet and flush it before either of us could think twice.
"I'm so sorry" Demi repeats over and over again
"Calm down it's okay you don't have to apologize" I say
"Do you want Grandma?" I ask
Demi nods her head so I run in the other room, grab the phone and come back. I dial Dianna's number and explain what's going on. About 10 minutes later Dianna and Eddie show up in the bathroom. I leave so I can give them space. I find marissa loading her stuff up in her car so I confront her.
"What the hell is wrong with you" I growl
"Stay out of this" marissa yells
"No I won't stay out of this she would have fucking self harmed if I hadn't stopped her when I did because of you" I scream
"You need to calm yourself down right now" marissa says
"No fucking way am I calming down when you almost caused my mother to self harm" I state "fix this shit"
I storm back inside and up to Demi's room. She's asleep, good. Dianna, Eddie, and I go downstairs and they head out. Maddie and I are going to take turns with Tristan while the other stays in the room with Demi. It's not that we don't trust her I'm just scared. Around midnight I finally feel okay enough to go to sleep.
is there anything you'd like to see happen that I can add in?
