EDITED
Demi's pov-
After the scare of being 22 and pregnant, Paige and I finally get some time to talk.

"Why did you feel the need to relapse?" I whisper breaking the silence.

"It's nothing Mom, really," Paige explains.

"Don't you dare go back to not telling me anything."I state, pointing at her.

"Oh my god I'm okay I swear, see?" She retorts smiling hugely.

"I know something's wrong. Tell me." I command.

"Do you really want to know?" She mumbles. I nod my head greedily preparing myself for something that will most likely cause me to cry.

""Paige they never loved you." My mom sneers. "They just used you for publicity. Why would Demi want to adopt a self harming freak anyways?" My mom chuckles. Out of the corner of my eye I see my sister and dad staring at me like I'm suppose to help them. Then within seconds mom chokes Paisley and Dad with some poison thing and a rag. " I'm not killing you yet. You're good bait. But if you do something wrong, you'll die even worse" my mom states staring at me."

She tells me her nightmare she has been having since she's been home and safe. Except this isn't just a dream that isn't real, this really happened, and she keeps reliving it over, and over again.

Paige is now curled up into me bawling her eyes out. "Mom," she cries. "I thought she meant it. I really did. And I know it isn't true, but it hurts."

I hug my weeping daughter, and try singing her to sleep, but she just won't stop crying.

Finally, Paige sits up and stares at me. She wipes away the tears that have escaped after she stopped crying and begins to speak.

"I missed my 16th birthday cause of that evil woman. She knew it was my birthday, so she tried selling me to a sex offender. Except, she couldn't find herself to do it. I think something told her it isn't the right thing, but then again wouldn't it have told her it wasn't right for her to hold me captive for 3 months?" Paige says looking out the window, then back at me. "I thought you would never come for me.

"Babygirl of course I would of came for you. But when you called, you were 'dead' and I didn't know it was you at first." I reply.

"Oh," is all she says. So we sit there in silence staring at each other. It's not awkward, it's actually quite comforting.

"Did he ask?" Paige blurts out.

"Who ask me what.." I trail off raising one eyebrow in confusion.

"Never mind," she replies quickly starting at my ring finger, where an engagement ring or wedding ring would go.

"I love you," she mumbles staring at the ground.

"I love you too, and don't forget." I smirk.

"I won't forget" she smiles, with her pearly whites.
