Ugh, I really hate haters. They piss me off. Why can't they just go and get a life instead of wasting their time being so fucking retarded. Anyone who says ANYTHING negative towards Demi Lovato (The actual Celebrity, not the character in this story) will be reported because I am sick and tired of all those fucking idiots and I just can't deal with it right now.
Disclaimer- I own nothing
I was always different. People would look at me weird and I didn't know why at first. When I was little, I always thought it was normal to have two moms, but no one else seemed to think so. Everyone would whisper and point. They'd stare as I walked by. I knew it was because of my parents, I just didn't know how. I would only catch snippets of what they said.
"That's definately her daughter"
"Why, she's the spitting image"
"So they got together after all, such a shame."
I found it stranger that when we went out, it wasn't like other kids. My parents would always make sure I wore sunglasses, scarfs, hats, and anything that would practically hide me from view and they dressed the same.
"Mommy, why do people stare?" I asked her one time. She looked exactly like me. Mama always told me that one of the reasons she loved me so much was becasue I looked like mommy.
She told me people stared becasue they didn't understand. what was there to understand? I voiced my thoughts to her and she said I'd know when I was older. I loved my parents both the same, never one above the other. I never resented them either. My earliest memory was a happy one.
"Alex! Come on sweetie, let's get you ready for bed." My mommy told me as I sat on mama's lap. I looked to Mama now with pleading eyes.
"You heard her Lexi, it's bed time."
"But I'm not tired." I whined to the two of them.
"I know sweetie, but we have to get up super early tomorrow so you're going to need as much sleep as you can get."
"But mama" I said turning back to her. "I wanna stay here with you" I told her sounding as sad as I could. Mama bit her lip and looked at Mommy with a look that said: help!
"C'mon munchkin, if we're ready in time I'll read to you" Mommy lifted me off Mama and carried me up the stairs to my room. She dressed me into my pajamas and tucked me in after helping me brush my teeth.
"Now what story would you like my little Alexandra?" I thought for a moment before Mama came in.
"Will you sing to me instead?" I asked my parents. They shared a smile and told me they would. I fell asleep to their soft, soothing voices that sounded perfect together.
I never knew what my parents did for work. All I knew was that if paid good. We lived in a nice big house and they always bought me things. They put limits that I didn't like at the time, but looking back now, I'm thankful they kept me grounded and didn't let me be spoiled. Occasionally I heard them talking about work, but I didn't understand anything other than the fact that they had the same job. I asked what they did once, but I was told not to worry about it. I soon found out they were quitting and of course I had no idea the reason as to why.
It was my first day of kindergarten that I saw her. Mommy was trying to convince me to stay, but I just wanted to go home.
"Alex, you'll be fine. Youll make friends and youll have fun." I still wasn't convinced.
"Where's Mama?" I asked her as she brushed some hair from my face.
"She had to go sttle things at work. She wanted to come, but she promised to pick you up after school"
"I don't k-" I was cut short when my breath was taken away. I saw her standing a few feet away from me. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
"Wow, mommy look! It's an angel!" I said excitedly pointing to the beauty. My mom chuckled and put my hand down.
"Don't point honey, it's rude." I only nodded, couldn't take my eyes off the girl my age talking to a women I could only assume was her mom. Mommy took my hand and stood up from her kneeling position.
"Come on, why don't we go meet her?" She suggested and before I could respond, she was leading me to the two.
"Hello, I'm Se-"
"Youre Selena Russo! Oh my gosh! I'm sorry, I'm just a huge fan! I used to watch Wizards all the time!" The woman told my mom. I looked up to her curiously but she didn't pay any attention.
"Aw thank you, this is my daughter Alex" She said motioning to me. I waved a little keeping my head down.
"Aw she's so cute." the woman said. "I'm Connie Torres and this is my daughter Mitchie." I looked at the angel who smiled kindly and I couldn't help but smile back.
Demi's POV
I pulled up to the elementary and went in to the main office. I had to leave in the middle of a press conference because the school called and told me that I needed to come see the principal in regards to my daughter. Selena thankfully had been there so she told me to go and she would wrap it up with the press. We were both resigning from our spots as celebrity because we both thought it was best. We wanted Alex to grow up as normally as she could being the daughter to lesbians. She didn't need the added pressure of grown men following her around with cameras while she's only five. To make things easier, we didn't tell her exactly what we did for a living.
The school secretary sent me in. Mr. Larritate sat at his desk and I saw Alex sitting with her legs hanging off the chair next to an empty seat. She looked up when I walked in and I saw her eyes brighten when she saw me.
"Mama!" She exclaimed happily jumping from her seat and ran to me. I lifted her up setting her weight on my hip as I made it to Larritate.
"Mrs. Lovato-" He started.
"it's Russo. I'm married.." I told him and he nodded before continuing.
"Yes, well, Mrs. Russo, I called you here today in regards to your daughter." well no shit sherlock, what do you want? I held my toungue to refrain from saying it aloud.
"What about?" I asked looking to Alex. She was looking at me with those big brown eyes looking so cute and innocent. Maybe I should have let Selena come, I have absolutely no power with this girl. She's like a mini Selena and lord knows I have no will when it comes to her.
"She got in a fight" he told me bluntly and I looked to the little latina in shock.
"What!?" I exclaimed. Selena was right, she was going to be like her, I just didn't think she would do anything like that at least until middle school and here she was first day of kindergarten in the principal's office in trouble for fighting. She was certainly going to be a handfull.
I started scanning my daughter for any injuries of any sort, but she looked like she was unharmed.
"Are you okay? did you get hurt?" I asked frantically to the little girl who just smiled and shook her head.
"No, I'm okay and so is Mitchie" She said souding way too happy for someone who was supposed to be in trouble. Selena had told me that Alex had met another little girl named Mitchie. I was assuming this was the same one.
"Mitchie? What does she have to do with this?" I turned to look questioningly at the principal.
"From what we could gather, another student had said something mean to Ms. Torres and your daughter put it in her hands to solve the situation. We have already called Ms. Hollingsworth's parents and they are on their way as well.
"Wait, so you pulled me out of a press conference because my daughter stood up for her friend?" I asked feeling myself get impatient with this man.
"Mrs. Lovato-"
"Russo"
"Surely you don't think it was okay for Alex to hit another student."
"Mr. Larritate, I was bullied at a young age and that effected me for the rest of my life. I have been through rehab and I've supported quite a few orginizations against bullying. I refuse to punish my daughter for doing what she thought was right."
"She punched-"
"I don't care. It was provoked and she was merely helping. I'd much rather throw some punches to someone who's done something to provoke it rather than have her growing up not being able to stand up for herself. If you think you can sit here and tell me my child did something unexcusable then you are sadly mistaken." I told him. He looked taken aback and didn't seem to be able to find his words.
"Now if you don't mind, I have my final concert tonight and I need to get ready. Alex will be going back to class and you can call my wife if there are any other problems." With that I let Alex down onto her feet and took her hand before leading her out.
"Mama, am I in trouble?" She asked confused. I smiled and ruffled her hair.
"No sweetie." I said stopping and getting down to her level. "There will be people who say mean things but I don't want them to get to you okay? If anyone tells you something mean I want you to ignore them and if you see someone else getting hurt like that you tell me or the teacher okay? Don't take things into your own hands unless you absolutely have to."
"Take in my hands?" She asked her face contorted into confusion.
"It means doing something about it yourself instead of telling the teacher." I told her and she nodded slowly thinking it over before she seemed to get it.
"Okay" She said the smile returning. She seemed to spot something behind me and her eyes lit up even more. I turned to see a little girl who looked to be her age sitting in the corner of the office. She had her head down so that her bangs were over her eyes. She had chocolate brown hair and a small figure.
"Mitchie!" Alex called to her. The girls head snapped up and I saw that her eyes matched her hair. She was wearing a red t-shirt and dark blue jeans. She looked releived when she saw Alex.
"Ally!" She exclaimed jumping down and running to the raven haired girl before tackling her in a hug.
"Ally?" Wow, they've only known each other for no more than 2 hours and they already seem to be close.
"Are you okay? What happened? Are you in trouble?" She asked worriedly. Alex just shook her head smiling.
"No, Mama said I'm not." She said looking to me and the small brunette looked up at me in confusion.
"But I thought the other woman was your mommy"
"She is. This is my Mama" The poor little girl looked confused.
"Just think of me as her daddy" I said trying to make it easier for her to understand. Alex was now the one who seemed confused, but she didn't say anything. Mitchie nodded still looking a bit like she didn't get it but I'm sure her mom would explain it to her.
"Come on, you two need to get back to class, and i have to go" I told the two of them. Alex immediately took Mitchie's hand and started to lead her out of the office. I smiled at the two knowing that this was the start of something amazing.
