Demi's POV

I like to believe that family is everything, because it is. They're the people God puts in your life to get you through the good & bad times.

For example, my mom. I wouldn't be half the person I am today if it wasn't for her, & I definately wouldn't have gotten this far either.

My dad, well not my biological dad, stepdad. But he's been more of a father to me than Patrick could have ever been. Eddie's the best.

My older sister, Dallas, has always been like a 2nd mom to me. Even though we argue & disagree on things ALL the time, she never fails on being there for me & listening to me when I need it.

& then there's Madison. I would be lost without out. Maddie makes me smile just by existing. She's my babygirl. I have to admit, she's the one I'm most excited to see.


I'm flying out to Texas tomorrow, FINALLY. I'm so excited! I can't wait to be back in the house that built me. Although it brings back many bad memories, the good ones definately outweigh them.

Plus, these last weeks in LA have been really stressful with The Xfactor Finale.

I think I deserve this vacation.

Dallas's POV

"Dallas honey, I need you to wake Maddie up & tell her to get in the shower as soon as possible because Demi's plane gets here right around 1:30pm.

SERIOUSLY? Why can't Eddie do it? It's not like he's busy. All he ever does in the morning is sit on the couch, read the newspaper & sip on his coffee. & I JUST came downstairs for breakfast.

Whatever. I nod anyway.

Maddie always oversleeps & she absolutely hates it when people interrupt. I knock in the door in hopes of her already awake, but of course, she wasn't.

I opened the door slightly & peeked in.

She had the covers all the way above her head. No way she would've heard me knock.

I step in & walk towards her bed. I shake her shoulder.

"Madison wake up. It's Saturday. Demi comes home today & her plane arrives in about 3 hours. Hurry, wake up & get in the shower.

No answer.

"Wake up!"

She starts to take off the covers & manages to mumble something.

"For whaaat?"

"Demi's coming." I answer her. "Go shower."

She gets up out of bed, walks towards her mirror & stares at her reflection for about 5 seconds, then yawns.

She starts walking towards her door, she opens it & heads to the bathroom right across the hall. I just sit there on her bed, I don't even know why. I should probably be getting ready too.

Madison comes back into her room with the toothbrush in her mouth, I guess she forgot something.

She stands in the doorway & motions me to leave. "Get out."

I don't say a word, I know this is just normal Madison in the mornings.

I get up & leave.

Maybe I can finally eat some breakfast now.
