He always assumes I want money. That money can replace my desire for a mother, for a female figure who will guide me through the darkness. All he can provide is money. He assumes that because I use the money, that I'm happy, that I don't spend night hunched over my toilet bowl physically sick to my stomach with the guilt of killing my mother. He assumes that because I have friends, that the smile on my face is genuine. That because I smile and confidently stride out of my room in a bikini, that I love myself and the way I look. He assumes everything about me, because he doesn't know me. I'm his daughter, and with the simple fact, he assumes that by just looking at me he knows my every thought. Does he know of the blood I spill when I have no other method of coping? Does he know of the times I sit and ponder about what it would be like to go through death? Does he know that when he leaves for work, I cry myself to sleep and wish for a mother? Does he know that I could care less about him? I hate him. But he loves me. Does he know, that through all this mess, I just want a mother. Because according to Disney, mother knows best?

Dakota loves to sing. It's the only thing that gets her through each day. Her childhood hasn't been kind to her, but she feels blessed to be where she is now. Living with her foster sister Sophie and her son Max. She had taken her in and treated her like her own. But Dakota wanted more than the day to day, she had dreamed of being a singer all her life and now she was going to audition for X factor. In front of her biggest role model, Demi.

Eleven-year-old Maxine Miller doesn't have the worst life. Or, at least, that's what she tells herself whenever things get tough. Between her parents spending more time with her little, perfect step-sister to her mental struggles, Max constantly felt like she was falling apart at the seams, but when her idol, Demi Lovato shows up in her life, maybe there really is still a chance for her.

(Sequel to She's a Criminal) 2 years have passed since Jordan had bailed Demi out of jail. In that time frame Demi has gone on tour with her best friend,released an album and even got that Grammy nomination she has always wanted. Jordan however has changed a lot as well. So much that not even her own sister recognizes her anymore. What happens when Lacey decides that she needs Demi's help in getting Jordan back to normal? Will Demi be able to bring back the kid she once knew?

Jordan is your average teenager. She goes to school,gets decent grades and all that other stuff. What happens when her English teacher offers her some extra credit to raise her grade. Little did she know that this assignment would give her an experience that she'll never forget.

Carson McCartney is a simple person. No bullshit. No lies. No feelings. Moving from Australia to America to be closer to her sister and jump start a career as a recognised guitarist also had an ulterior motive- to escape the haunting shit storm that was her past. Taking advantage of her new life, an opportunity appears. An opportunity to audition for Demi Lovato's Neon Light's touring band. But what Carson didn't realise, is that tour can make or break a person. Or that one audition can change a life.
