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...
Alex's POV I was in my room, cuddled and hiding under my duvet. I purged up all my breakfast and didn't get caught luckily. My demons won't shut up and I wish I could make them stop. My phone randomly started getting more notifications than usual. I was tagged in something by Trevor.

"Why won't they stop?!" I cried out. I cuddled further into my duvet, the feeling to find something sharp and cut growing stronger and stronger by the second.
"Alex!" Mom said as she knocked on the door. "Can I come in for a moment?" She asked. I didn't say anything, I just let out a strangled sob.
Demi's POV "Alex!" I said as I knocked on Alex's door. "Can I come in for a moment?" She's never been out of her room for a couple hours and I was worried. She didn't reply, but I heard her let out a strangled sob.
I walked into Alex's room and saw she was under her duvet.
"Alex, what's wrong?" I asked worriedly as I sat on the edge of Alex's bed. She let her head out from under the duvet and held her arms out.
"Cuddles." Alex stated simply, her voice cracking from crying.
"Baby girl.." I spoke gently as I let Alex cuddle into me. "Can you tell me what's wrong?" I asked gently.
"They won't shut up.." Alex whispered.
"Who won't shut up?" I asked as I looked into Alex's blue eyes, which held a look of pain that she was trying to hide.
"Trevor and his friends. What did I do to them? Why do they hate me?" Alex asked quietly.
My heart broke into pieces. My baby girl doesn't deserve this. Alex deserves to be happy, and to live the best life. Life isn't perfect for everyone, but I wish I could make her life perfect. I bet every parent wishes they could make their child's life perfect
"You did nothing wrong, baby girl. They're lowlife jerks who have nothing better to do than hate on a beautiful and loving girl." I said as I held Alex close to me. "I'll try my best to put a stop to it. Have you had the urge to cut, baby?"
"Yeah.." Alex spoke quietly. I worriedly grabbed her arms to roll up the sleeves of her hoodie to see if there were any fresh cuts, which there wasn't.
"I'm proud of you, baby girl." I cooed gently. "I love you." I kissed Alex's forehead.
"I love you too." Alex said as she was trying not to cry.
"You can cry, baby girl. You don't have to hold anything in." I reassured Alex.
"I-I don't want to be weak." Alex stuttered. I looked into her eyes as her tears were threatening to spill.
"Let it out. Come on, let it out. You won't be weak, baby girl." I kept reassuring Alex. She turned over as she hid her face against my shirt, instantly sobbing.
"I-I can't breathe!" Alex screamed and cried out.
"Alex! Follow my breathing and focus on my heartbeat." I spoke tenderly as I laid Alex's head on my chest. "In... and out... in... and out." I instructed calmly.
"M-Mama.." Alex choked out.
"You're doing great, baby girl." I said as Alex was starting to calm down. I quietly started singing.
The space in between us Starts to feel like the world's apart Like I'm going crazy And you say it's raining in your heart You're telling me nobody's there To try and fly Oh but that's just crazy 'Cause baby I told ya I'm here for good
My love's like a star, yeah You can't always see me But you know that I'm always there When you see one shining Take it as mine And remember I'm always near If you see a comet Baby I'm on it Making my way back home Just follow the glow yeah It won't be long Just know that you're not alone
I tried to build the walls To keep you safe when I'm not around But as soon as I'm away from you You say they come tumbling down But it's not about the time That we don't get to spend together It's about how strong our love is When I'm gone and it feels like forever
My love's like a star yeah You can't always see me But you know that I'm always there When you see one shining Take it as mine And remember I'm always near If you see a comet Baby I'm on it Making my way back home Just follow the glow yeah It won't be long Just know that you're not alone
You say that time away makes your heart grow out But I can stay just to prove you wrong Oh look at how far we've come Don't you know Don't know that you're the one
My love's like a star yeah You can't always see me But you know that I'm always there When you see one shining Take it as mine And remember I'm always near If you see a comet Baby I'm on it Making my way back home Just follow the glow, yeah It won't be long Just know that you're not alone
