Chapter 11 - 11

DEMI'S POV

"Don't hurt me! I'm sorry I'm a mistake!" I woke up at 3:09 AM hearing Alex's screams from the baby monitor. I tore the blankets off of me and got up.

"Alex!" I ran into her room. She was shaking and breathing quickly. My poor baby, I hate seeing her like this. I slowly went up to her and held her in my arms. "Follow my breathing, baby girl." I spoke quietly. I grabbed her inhaler off the bedside table. We talked with her doctor and therapist a couple days ago. They would put her on medication, but considering how she said she wanted to not live a couple days ago, we thought it would be best if we waited so she doesn't purposely overdose.

"Baby, it's Mommy. Mommy's here, no one else. Just me. I promise." I waited for her to realize where she was at till I gave her the inhaler.

ALEX'S POV

"Baby, it's Mommy. Mommy's here, no one else. Just me. I promise." Mom held me in her arms as she rocked me back and forth. I feel like a big baby. "Focus on me, baby girl." She cooed. She gave me my inhaler and I took some deep breaths.

"Good job. Deep breathes, baby girl." She spoke softly. I gave it back to her and I wrapped my arms around her neck and hid my face.

"D-Don't leave m-me." I whimpered out.

"I'm not going anywhere. I promise." She stood up and carried me in her arms to her room.

"Go to sleep, baby. We have to get up early to get on the tour bus." She whispered. She laid down with me in her bed and held me close to her. She quietly started to sing.

I can't sleep tonight

Wide awake and so confused

Everything's in line

But I am bruised

I need a voice to echo

I need a light to take me home

I kinda need a hero

Is it you?

I never see the forest for the trees

I could really use your melody

Baby I'm a little blind

I think it's time for you to find me

Can you be my nightingale?

Sing to me

I know you're there

You could be my sanity

Bring me peace

Sing me to sleep

Say you'll be my nightingale

Somebody speak to me

'Cause I'm feeling like hell

Need you to answer me

I'm overwhelmed

I need a voice to echo

I need a light to take me home

I need a star to follow

I don't know

I never see the forest for the trees

I could really use your melody

Baby I'm a little blind

I think it's time for you to find me

Can you be my nightingale?

Sing to me

I know you're there

You could be my sanity

Bring me peace

Sing me to sleep

Say you'll be my nightingale

I don't know what I'd do without you

Your words are like a whisper come through

As long as you are with me here tonight

I'm good

Can you be my nightingale?

Still so close

I know you're there

Oh, nightingale

You sing to me

I know you're there

'Cause baby you're my sanity

You bring me peace

Sing me to sleep

Say you'll be my nightingale

Oh

Mm, mm

Mm

I ended up falling asleep with her singing and comfortingly playing with my hair.
