Demi's new girl

Half a story

Evie POV


I can believe I'm sat here on a sofa, in between Naya Rivera and Demi Lovato. They are like my two favourite people ever. It's the first thing that has made me happy in years and that's no exaggeration, my life has been hell. But I don't think I can tell them, at least not everything. I've bothered them enough, why on earth would they care about a stupid little girl like me.

They are both sat either side of me looking down at me expecting answers, I suppose I owe them a few. I take I deep breath and begin telling them my story.

"They kicked me out yesterday. My dad and older brother. They didn't want me. The strange thing is I was happy about it. I couldn't take the pain anymore. I hid out at the beach because it's always been one of my favourite places but when it starts to get dark I get scared. I didn't know where to go and I panicked. That's when Naya found me"

I didn't realise I was crying until Demi pulled me on to her lap and wiped away my tears. I looked across to Naya and saw tears falling from her eyes as well. She shuffled along the sofa to where I was sat a few seconds ago and she took my hands in hers and gently rubbed circles on the back with her thumb.

"Evie sweetheart, what did they do to you?"

I cried harder and started shaking. Before I knew it I was having a panic attack.

Demi soothed me and rubbed my back while Naya sung softly. That was the quickest I've even calmed down from a panic attack. Something about these women made me feel safe and calm.
I took another deep breath and was about to tell them something I'd never expected to tell anyone.

Actually wait,,, I can't do this.

I stood up off Demi's lap and turned around to face them both.

"Look I'm sorry, I can't do this. I'm sorry for bothering you and wasting your time. I'll go now" I said as I turned and headed towards the door.

"Wow wow wow, stop right there little miss" Naya said as she stood up and pulled me back over to the sofa.

"No let me go!" I cried and struggled against her. But all she did was tighten her grip and pull me into her. I cried into her chest for what felt like forever, until I finally uttered those words that I know they already expected.

"They abused me"

I started shaking even harder and felt like I couldn't breath. My chest was tightening up which made me panic even more.

"Sweetheart it's ok, I've got you" Naya soothed but I shook my head in response.

"Shhhhh Evie we're here, I've got you" she repeated.

After what felt like a century I calmed down. Naya and Demi were looking at each other as if they were telepathically communicating.

"Evie" Demi eventually said

"Yeah" I nodded my head at her

"I think you've worn yourself out and unless you want to carry on, we can finish this conversation here for now. So we were thinking, why don't we all have some dinner, you can go take a shower and we can watch a movie or something and have an early night" Demi suggested.

I just nodded but inside I felt sick.

Oh god.

They want me to eat dinner.

I can't.

I don't need food.

Eat then purge. Eat then purge. Eat then purge.

I had to keep telling myself this otherwise my daemons won't let me get through the meal.

We sat there and all ate together, Demi and Naya were trying to make me feel comfortable by including me in general conversation.

"Can I go shower now please?" I asked quietly after I'd eaten all I could

"Of course sweetie, i'll come and help get you sorted"

Naya headed off upstairs and I quietly followed, she led me into what I can only assume is the bedroom she shares with Demi.

"I'll go and find you pyjamas or something babe, I'll leave them outside the bathroom. Take as much time as you need, just shout if you need me ok?"

Without even thinking about it I walked closer to Naya. I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a hug, she kissed the top of my head and then walked out of the bedroom. I really don't want to get too attached because I know I'll ruin things in the end.

I lock the bathroom door behind me and switch the shower on. But before I undress I crouch down and automatically empty the contents of my stomach until nothing but blood emerges.
I feel a little better now but my daemons are screaming at me to find a razor, at that point I remember my little best friend in the back pocket of my shorts. I pull out my blade, undress and step into the shower. The warm water feels so nice covering my skin. I pick up my blade and begin my usual routine.

Ten or so cuts on my right arm then the same on my left. Then I repeat this at the top of my thighs. I instantly feel better from the relief it gives me. Naya and Demi would definitely want rid of me if they knew about this.

Once I'd finished, I wrapped myself up in one of the big fluffy towels and opened to door to get the clothes Naya had left for me. On the floor was a clean pair of underwear and a huge top that would go down to my knees. The only problem was that it had short sleeves.

What am I going to do?

I looked around their room and spotted a small hoodie, draped over one of the dressing tables. I put it on over the top. I hope who's ever it is won't mind.

At that moment Naya walked back in the room.

"Cold sweetheart?" She asked, gesturing to the hoodie.

"Yeah, I'm sorry do you mind me wearing it?"

"No babe, don't worry about it, do you want me to dry your hair for you?"

"Yes please"

She motioned for me to sit at the dressing table, she combed through my hair and began blow drying it. She was so gentle. Once she had finished she took my hand and led me downstairs into the living room where Demi had already put a movie on and was waiting to press play. I sat down on the very edge of the sofa but was immediately pulled onto Naya's lap.

At the end of the movie Demi turned to the side to face me.

"Evie, Naya and I have bet on and we want to know who's right. How old are you?"

"How old do you think I am?" I smirked.

"9" Demi guessed

"11" Naya said

"Neither of you are right, I'm 10, but it's my birthday in two weeks" I answered

"I'm closer so I win" Naya boasted

"Great, now I have to do the washing up"

We laughed as Demi sulkily walked off into the kitchen, then Naya turned me round in her lap.



"Right miss Evie, time for bed" Naya said as she stood up still with me in her arms. How on earth was she holding an elephant like me. She carried me all the way upstairs and threw me onto the bed in the spare room where I would be staying. I climbed into bed, nervous at the thought of falling asleep. Scared of what would happen as I'm not aware what's going on around me. What if they find me in the night? What if they hurt me again?

Without realising I had tears falling down my cheeks. Naya noticed and jumped on to the bed and lay next to me. She pulled me into her body and allowed me to cry into her.

"What's the matter baby girl?"

"I'm scared" I whimpered

"Shhhh it's alright. You're safe here, get some sleep sweetie"

I stopped crying and my eyes began to close, I was still mentally awake though because as soon as Naya got up to leave my eyes shot open.

Before I even had time to think my mouth took over me.

"Please Naya, stay" I begged

"Oh sweetie, ok let me just go say goodnight to Demi and I'll be right back."


A couple of minutes later Naya climbed back into bed with me, she had changed into her pyjamas and taken all her makeup off. I snuggled up to her and she wrapped her arms tight around me.

"Goodnight miss Evie"

"Night Naya"
