Alexis Grace Lovato is your typical fourteen year old girl, besides having a famous singer as her Mom. Demi stopped working when Alexis, or Alex, was born so that she could single-handedly take care of her. What happens when Demi goes back to work a...
Demi's POV "You look amazing, Demi." Maddie joked as I walked downstairs, having just woken up.
"Good morning to you, missy." I stuck my tongue out. "Have you seen, Momma?" I asked while grabbing an apple from the fruit basket.
"She's in the backyard with Dad." Maddie said looking up from her college homework.
"Thanks! You're my favorite half sister!" I yelled before running out to the backyard.
"I'm your only half sister!" Maddie shouted back and I smirked.
"Good morning, baby girl." Mom said hugging me and kissing my cheek.
"Are you going to be at the court trial today?" I asked nervously.
"Of course! We're there to support you and to make sure that cunt gets what he deserves." Mom said casually.
"Woah! I feel like I should've expected that to come out of your mouth." I laughed.
"Is Alex up yet? We do have to leave in about two hours." Mom reminded me.
"Oh shoot! I'm going to go wake her up!"
"Wait! Did Alex have any nightmares last night?" Mom asked, sounding concerned.
"Yes.. she did. Last night after one of her nightmares she wanted to harm herself.. but she came to me.. which I guess I'm glad about.. instead of resorting to that." I said quietly. "Momma, am I doing a good job at raising her?"
"Of course you are, baby. You're doing better than I did with my first born. I mean, she has a sexually active relationship! She bedazzles everything!" Mom joked as she was talking about Dallas.
"I heard that!" Dallas shouted from Mom and Eddie's bedroom window. "Can I bedazzle these old condoms?! It looks like they're from the 1980s!" Dallas joked.
"You can not bedazzle the condoms!" Mom said and I laughed.
"I'm going to go wake up, Alex. Thanks, Momma!" I thanked Mom before going upstairs to where Alex was sleeping.
Alex's POV "Alex, we have to get ready. The court date is today." I heard Mom speak softly and I felt the bed dip.
"I don't want to see him.." I said as I hid my face.
"I know you don't, but we got to put him where he belongs." Mom said as she rubbed my back.
"What if he doesn't get a punishment? I don't want to see him again, mommy.."
"You won't have to see him again after today, baby girl. I'll make sure of it. I'm always going to protect you." Mom held me in her embrace. "Go get ready, baby." She kissed my forehead.

I grabbed some clothes out of my dresser. I assumed I could just wear whatever. I put on a long sleeve AC/DC shirt, a black jean jacket, Nike leggings, and some combat boots. I walked downstairs to where Mom was waiting.

"Are you ready, baby girl?" Mom asked while grabbing her keys.
"As ready as I'll ever be. Is Max going to be there?" I asked.
"Yes. He's going to be there. Grandma and Grandpa are going to meet us there also." Mom said as we walked out the door and got into the car. It took about 30 minutes to get to the court house. Aaron was already there.. along with some paparazzi.
"Mommy, hold me!" I panicked as I hid my face in Mom's sweater. She quickly picked me up and then I hid my face in the crook of her neck. We went into the front and sat down where we were supposed to. I didn't understand much of what was happening. Except when Mom had to defend me and Aaron had to defend himself.
"This man," Mom pointed to Aaron. "He beat my daughter. He took her to an alleyway and beat her like it was nothing. Doesn't that sicken all of you? How could he do that to his own flesh and blood? I know he didn't want her, but did he really have to do that?! And he took his own daughter's innocence?!"
"He's not my Dad.. I'm not his daughter.. he lost that privilege." I quietly spoke when I stood up, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Shut up, bitch!" I heard Aaron's voice and then next thing I know is that I was grabbed by him. There was a lot of commotion as people tried to get him off of me.
"Alex! Baby!" Mom held me in her arms as I was struggling to breathe. "It's okay, Mommy's here. Breathe in.. breathe out.. good job, baby girl." Mom cooed as I was starting to calm down a bit. She was about to put me down but I held onto her.
"D-Don't let go.." I whimpered out as I played with Mom's hair extensions.
"I won't, baby girl." Mom spoke gently as we walked outside.
"I.. Is it over already? Is he in prison?" I asked quietly.
"Yes. He's in prison, baby." Mom said as we got in the car. "Momma, can you drive Alex and I? I want to stay in the back with her." She asked Grandma. Grandma nodded and got in the driver's seat.
"I'm tired.." I spoke as I looked up at Mom.
"Try to get some sleep, baby girl." Mom massaged my scalp as she started humming the tune to Nightingale, which I fell asleep to.
