Just By Putting On a Smile

Chapter 13- N-n-no Police

**Demi's POV**
While I'm packing my suitcase I try to not think about today, it's too much to handle. I hear my door open.
"Demi! There you are, I got a text, why the hell weren't you at the funeral?" Kelly says.
"I-I was," I stutter.
"No you weren't, Dallas said." Kelly says.
"Why? What happened?" She asks me.

"Tell anyone about this, and you dead next time."
Those words won't stop ringing in my ears, Kelly starts speaking but the voices are so loud I can't concentrate. I put my hands over my ears trying to stifle those words loudly repeating in my ears. I feel a hand grab my wrist, it's just Kelly trying to lead me over to the bed, but I freak out.

I feel a clammy hand grip around my wrist and before I can talk his other hand springs over my mouth.

I start crying from the fear and she pulls me close. I'm in so much pain, but at least the pain distracts my mind, so I'm not having many flashbacks.
"DemDem what happened sweetie?" Kelly says softly.
"I-I" stutter out
"Tell anyone about this, you're dead next time."
"H-he," I try to continue.
"Tell anyone about this, you're dead next time."
"Who's 'he' and what did 'he' do sweetie?"

I can't keep this from Kelly, and it's not like anyone would care if he killed me, I wouldn't.

"S-Scott." I mutter.
"Who's Scott? What did he do Dem?" She asks.
"He-he-he r-r-r-r-r-" I try to say it but can't get myself to.
"He raped you? Oh honey.." She hugs me.
"Do you know who he is?" She asks.
"Y-yeah. He was my dads friend. He used to r-r-r-r-, do THAT when I was younger. Like from 5-14 t-then when I booked Camp Rock I wasn't at home, and I didn't see him again, I mean until t-today. It hurts Kel" I sob.
"Can we get Simon, D?" She asks.
"W-why does grandpa need to know?" She chuckles slightly and me calling him grandpa.
"Dem this is serious, he can get in touch with the police." She suggests.
"N-n-no police." I say, terrified of what he told me.
"Dem, we have to. Did he say something to you?" She says worried.
"Y-yeah. He said if I tell anyone about this, then I'm dead." I tell her.
"It's okay Dem, we'll get the police involved and you'll be protected until he's caught." She reassures me.
"I don't want people to know," I say.

I snuggle into her and wait for them to come, I close my eyes.

**Kelly's POV**
Demi fell asleep snuggled into me, I can't believe this happened.

I hear a knock on the door and Simon and Paulina walk in.
"What's up with her?" Simon says pointing at Demi who is asleep on my lap in my arms.
"That's exactly why I called you here, Dallas text me saying Demi wasn't at the funeral towards the end, I asked her why and she broke down crying. Her dads friend r-raped her. He apparently used to do the same when she was younger, but it stopped when she booked camp rock because she wasn't at home." I tell them, they both look dumbfounded. And for Simon, it then turns to anger.
"What the fuck! We need to get the police asap!" Simon shouts making Demi flinch back and open her eyes.
"H-hey." She says in a little voice.
"We're calling the police non emergency line now, you okay brat?" Simon says chuckling at her pet name.
"Y-yeah." She looks down.
"Hey, we can sort this out, I promise." He says to Demi.

**Demi's POV**
The police come round at they talk to us about what will happen to him. I zone out and look at my feet after explaining what happened. I try to block out everything that's happening with the one phrase repeating in my head,
"Tell anyone about this, you're dead next time."

"That'll be all, thank you for your time," the officer leaves out hotel room.
"Good job Dem. One of us has to be with you at all times, especially after what he said." Kelly tells me.
"What did he tell you?" Simon asks.
"He said if I tell anyone about this then I'm dead." I say trying to seen emotionless, but failing.
"No, my baby. We'll be with you all time Dem." Paulina tells me.

All the time.
I need to be more careful hiding my secrets. It would break them if they found out.

"Dem is your stuff packed?" Kelly asks.
"Yeah? You guys?" I ask them.
"Yes, you Kelly?" Paulina says.
"Yeah, guys lets get changed out of these clothes from the shoot into something comfy and go down to the hotel restaurant and get some food. Pau if you want I'll stay with Dem you can go get changed. Dems can get changed then she'll come to my room with me, meet us there." Kelly arranges.
"Guys I think I can be alone for like 5 minutes," I say, worried they'll agree and I'll be left alone.
"Dem, I know but I really don't want to risk it, so much has happened to you recently and I want to prevent more from happening." Kelly says.

Paulina leaves and goes to her room. I open my suitcase with all the clothes I just packed away.
"Kel, if you want you can just wear my clothes?" I offer.
"Dem your tiny, I can try I guess." She chuckles. I'm not tiny.
"The pant legs might be a little short but that's it your so skinny." I tell her.
"And so are you Dem," Kelly says, trying to read my reaction. I just ignore her and push my suitcase towards her so she can choose some clothing.

She pulls out a simple mid thigh floaty skirt with a top. She also pulls out a pair of black skinny ripped jeans, a cropped while tshirt and leather jacket.
"Dem this would look cute on you," She says, handing me the jeans, tshirt and jacket. Ugh. I hate cropped things. That's a lie, I love cropped things but I'm not skinny enough to wear them.
"M-maybe something else," I say, fearing she might tell me to just wear that.
"Why? It would look so cute." She replies.

She starts changing, a quickly take off my shirt and reach over for the tshirt,

"Demi.."
