Remember? (Demi Lovato Fanfic)

13

Demi's POV

It's been 3 hours, 3 hours of waiting, 3 hours of crying, 3 hours of silence, and 3 hours since Yassi went into shock. I came home because everyone told me how mad Yassi got when she heard that I went on vacation with my friends before tour.

She yelled at me about how hurt her and Madison was about it and honestly that was almost like a slap of reality. She put me right in place and I'm thankful for it. It made me realize that sometimes I do take advantage of my family in a way, like I don't live with them and on a daily I make decisions of hanging out with friends. Then I'm away even more when I go on tour, and on top of that I realized how many vacations I've been on with just my friends versus the little amount of vacations I have been with my family.

Yassi & Madison had no problem on showing me how mad they got, hell I would've been furious if I was in their position. Then my parents and Dallas hasn't said anything about it but I can tell with their facial expression everytime it comes up that they're upset about it too.

And that is why I came back, I'm fixing this. No matter how stubborn Maddie and Yassi can be, I will fix it.

I look around the hospital room, everyone in their own world as we wait for my little sister to wake up. I look at my mom and suddenly I remembered what the doctor had said earlier.

"Mom?" everyone's head turned to me and I realized I was the first to talk after 3 hours.

"Hmm?" My mom hums telling me to continue.

"What did the doctor mean when he said Yassi was getting weak and you said that you and dad were fighting the battle with her?" I questioned. Now everyone's head turned to her as she shifts uncomfortably in her chair.

Dad puts his arm around my mom pulling her closer and then he looks at me with an apologetic look and says "I'm sorry Dems, she wishes to keep it a secret for now and the least your mom and I can do at the moment is to grant her wishes."

I was about to say something when a frustrated looking Madison interrupted, "Dallas? I know you know about it. Why don't you just tell us?"

Dallas sighs and turns to face Maddie and answers with, "The same reason why you and I never told anybody about Hunter. She asked us to keep it a secret for her and we did. It's her story to tell not mine or anyone else's. Just please. Keep her in your prayers. And don't push for answers, she will tell when she's ready."

Maddie huffs and crossed her arms over her chest while I try to look in my head what they could possibly be hiding. There really hasn't been any signs but then again I haven't been around long enough to notice anything if there was any signs.

Now it was my turn to huff.

Right in that moment Yassi's finger twitched and everyone was up and on her side. "Baby please please wake up." I begged after the tears immediately came. We can tell that she was having a hard time opening her eyes so we kept encouraging her and telling her she can do it.

Yassi's POV

After a few attempts of trying to open my eyes I finally managed to open them. I look around at my family and my eyes immediately started to water after seeing all of their faces that had a smile of relief as their tears stream down from their eyes.

"Oh my baby" my mom sobs out as she hugs me.

"Momma" I cry holding her close to me.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I'm sorry I failed at my job as a mother. I'm sorry I-" I cut off her rant

"Mom stop. You didn't fail at your job as a mother okay? Look at me? I fought and I stayed and I'm awake and I'm alive. Mom you taught me how to be a warrior and that's why I'm alive. You did amazing at your job and you're still doing amazing at your job. Do not tell yourself otherwise." I say sternly but softly. It was nobody's fault.

"Same goes to both of you, Mads and Dal. I already know the thoughts that came through your heads. And trust me, they're wrong. It's nobody's fault so please don't blame yourself." They both nodded at me and after Maddie throws herself at me, hugging me tight making me giggle.

"I thought I was gonna lose you." Maddie sobs in the crook of my neck and I rub her back to calm her down.

"You can't get rid of me that easy Mads." I chuckled softly hoping to lighten up the mood a bit. Maddie managed to get on my hospital bed and cuddled beside me. I wrap my arms around her and rub her back to calm her down more.

"You tell me if I'm hurting you okay?" She whispers and I nodded, "I will, but you never hurt me so you're perfectly fine." I smile softly drawing circles on her back.

"By the way, who taught you how to fight kung fu back there?!" Dallas jokes, which I'm thankful for because the heavy emotion in this room is getting to me and I need it to ease down.

"Wilmer actually!" I chuckled and continued "Y'all don't know but Wilmer actually takes me boxing whenever he can and if he can't I go by myself anyways. But I like when he comes because then I can beat his ass." I chuckled softly at Dallas which made her smile back in return.

"That's amazing baby girl .." Our heads turn to the little voice that came out of Demi. I have noticed her in the room but I haven't really looked at her because there's this weird tension going on between us and I feel like everyone can notice it too. I mean I was legit livid with her after everything so maybe that's why? Or maybe because I'm embarrassed? I don't know, it's just all these jumbled emotions I feel about her and I'm too tired to analyze it all.

"Thanks." I replied back, I didn't mean it to sound cold but with the expression on her face I'm guessing it did.

I was about to say something but the doctor entered the room "Ah, Miss Lovato, you've finally joined us. How are you feeling?"

"Like shit. I just feel tired, like I can sleep for days. My body is aching and just ugh." I groan closing my eyes and opening them again when the doctor started talking.

"Well I'm guessing you would feel a lot weaker. You fought real hard, you weren't back to 100% before and I would say you were probably at 40% and fighting the way you did just drained it all. When I mean fighting, I mean both physically and mentally. I have spoken to your parents about your other condition and while you were unconscious we made sure to put some food and liquids in you. I know that your family doctor had already told you but for everything to work and for you to get better you need to keep eating. Some exercise and activities but not too much because that will tire you out easily. We don't want that. Can you do that for yourself? If not for yourself then can you do that for your family?" He talks softly.

I blink my eyes a couple times to kick back the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes, "Yeah." I whisper looking down.

"That's all we want from you. But with that being said, I would like to keep you here overnight so your stitches can heal a bit more and so I can monitor you. Your family is welcome to stay, of course. Then you are free to go home first thing in the morning." He smiles softly as I nodded my head and thanked him.

After he leaves I lay my head back on the pillow and closed my eyes.

"Can we please not talk about it? I'm just really exhausted." I meant to put a strong front but I guess that failed because my voice made it out barely as a whisper with a tiny voice crack.

My mom kissed my forehead, "Get some rest baby girl. We'll be right here."
