Catch Me

Ch. 15

Coraly's pov

Concert day. The day I've been looking forward to since Debby offered to take me. I'm going to finally get to see the band that's truly helped me through so much perform the songs that have helped me through so much. I'm going to be in pit and meet people who get everything. For once in my life I won't feel so alone in a battle of anxiety, depression, or worthiness.

But on top of that I have someone who trusts me. Who is going to let me have freedom in an arena and not act as if I'm this monster who's going to do something awful. Debby is going to let me be in pit all alone and trust me to come back to her when the concerts done. She's not going to baby me, she doesn't have any doubt I'm going to disobey her word, and she doesn't see me as this awful person. It's nice.

"I know you from twitter, your name on Twitter is String Cheese isn't it?" I hear.

I look up from my phone to the girl beside me and my chest is racing. She's beautiful. Her eyes are a beautiful green. Her hairs this dark wavy brown. Her skin in an absolute perfect tan.

"Yeah, hi." I laugh nervously.

"Oh my gosh your account makes me laugh on the daily! I followed you forever ago, I'm so happy to have met you. Ok one of your mutuals on twitter." She beams.

"Wait what's your user?" I ask.

"Reginxl.goner." She says.

"Oh my god, you're memes are the best." I laugh.

"My names Zoey, pretty sure I don't have that on my Twitter." She says.

"I'm Coraly, although I'm sure you already knew that." I say.

"I didn't actually. I thought your name was Corely this whole time. Coraly sounds a lot cooler." She says.

"Thanks." I chuckle.

This is going to be the best first concert of my life.

Demi's pov

"You seem down." Madison says beside me.

"I was just hoping she'd come. I was looking forward to this show because I thought everyone would be here and Coralys not here." I admit.

"Mom tried to guilt trip her but it didn't work. She was adamant on going to the concert with Debby." Madison sighs.

"No it's fine, I want her to be happy. This would be her first concert outside of mine. I don't blame her for not wanting to miss the opportunity. Especially when she seems to be a really big fan. Her twitter account seems to just be nothing but tweets about that band." I say.

She lets out a soft sigh, "I kinda listened to their music and it's the most depressing thing I've ever heard. She can't really be ok if she's listening to that can she?"

"I don't know Mad. I did what I could and I can only do so much. I haven't seen her in a while and you'd know how she's doing better than me at this point. I've listened to it too and it was definitely not what I was expecting to hear, but if it helps her then it helps her. She's been through a lot and she's obviously going through a lot." I say.

"She's so hard to read. I can never figure out what she's really thinking or feeling." Madison says.

"Not your job to read her, that's moms. You her older sister, not her parent. Coraly has her guard up and she always has. Knocking that down isn't something she wants to do or allow to happen. She has had that wall up since before we adopted her. No ones made a dent in that wall or even managed to crack it." I say.

"Be honest, do you think she'll do it again?" Madison asks.

By "it" I know she means attempt suicide and that's been a question on my mind since she left my house.
