Demi: 14 years oldJoe: 19 years oldNick: 16 years oldKevin: 21 years oldFrankie: 9 years oldSelena: 16 years old Miley: 16 years : Demi is a young girl who lives with her dad, and her mom, her dad has been abusing her since she was around 5 years old. Selena Gomez is famous and is Demi's best friend, only Selena knows about what is going on with Demi and her Dad. Demi has an older brother Zac who is in the Marines and has not been home in three years. Joe Kevin and Nick are famous as well in both singing and acting, they have known Demi since she started doing their paper route two years ago when she was twelve, she had stayed over a couple times and just hung out. They really liked her especially Joe, Kevin felt like her older brother as did Nick. "Dems are you sure you can do it by yourself?" Selena asked worried, this was the first time that Demi would be doing the paper route since the accident which caused her blindness. "Yes Sel, I'm Sure!" Demi smile din her direction, her sick eyes sparkled with excitement. "Okay, well call me when you get done and I'll come and get you." Sel sighed and headed off to her Wizards of Waverly Place's taping. "Go on, I'll be fine!" Demi yelled, when Sel looked back one more timeDuring her route Demi had a good time, she remembered all the houses from before she went blind and Sel had made sure before she started that there would be no obstacles in her way. Demi finally reached the Jonas Brothers mansion, they were always protective of her and since she hadn't delivered the paper in 6 months she had a feeling that they would be even more worried about her. Kevin, Joe and Nick had just gotten back from their summer tour, they were getting ready to head to bed when they looked at the security camera and saw a young girl stop at the gate use the keypad and slip inside. Only one person besides them, their parents and big Rob knew the code It was Demi! "Oh my gosh, it's Demi!" Joe announced, they ran to the door and flung it open. Just as she reached the door he yelled "Demi!" "Oh, hey Joe," Demi said softly, inwardly her heart was beating really fast as she knew questions were coming. "Where have you been?" Kevin asked watching her closely seeing how she wouldn't look at them. "I just needed some time off." She mumbled, Kevin reached out and lifted up her chin, she shut her eyes quickly. "Nick turn on the light," Kevin ordered softly, Nick did so and saw how Demi tensed and try to turn away. Kevin felt his stomach sink a little and backed up towards the door. "Come here Demi," Kevin ordered, Joe and Nick watched curiously as she opened her eyes and slowly walked forward and straight into the door that Kevin had closed. "What the.." Joe and Nick exclaimed watching as she rubbed her nose. "You're blind," Kevin said calmly, Demi sighed and biting her lip she slowly nodded." "Are we your last house?" Nick asked, he was in complete shock. "Yes, why?" She asked, and stepped towards his voice. "Come inside and tell us everything." Joe replied, him and nick gently brought her into the house. Kevin shut the door and followed them to the living room. Demi had been there many times and walked to a couch, she felt around and feeling nothing she sat down. "Tell us everything." Kevin said softly sitting next to her, Joe and Nick pulled up the love seat and sat in front of them. "Well um, six months ago me and my parents were at the bank when suddenly all heck broke lose, these to men came in with guns and ordered everyone on the floor, mommy and daddy were with a teller and didn't know what was happening. I glanced up from the floor and saw mommy and daddy coming around the corner smiling and " Demi started breathing heavily as she remembered what happened next, Kevin wrapped his arm around her shoulder and tugged her close. "then the guys looked up and saw them and bam! He shot them both right in front of me, all I remember is me screaming over and over again. One of the guys came over and shot me in the head, when I woke up I was blind." She finished her breathing still irregular, her fingers twisting nervously. "Aww sweetie." Kevin breathed kissing her head. "It's all my fault!" Demi burst out, they looked at her surprised and saw tears falling down her cheeks. "Mommy and daddy weren't supposed to be there, they came to get me because I tried to run away and tried to get money out of their account." she whispered pressing her face into Kevin's chest. "It's not your fault sweetie, never say that." Joe said when he finally found his voice. Demi didn't hear him because she was sound asleep clinging to Kevin when her phone rang. "hello?" Nick said softly, hearing a gasp on the other end. "Nick?" Sel demanded surprised and worried for Demi as well. "Sel? How do you have this number?" He asked confused, he put it on speaker and they all crowded in to listen, Kevin was now holding Demi on his lap
Demi is my best friend, where is she? is everything alright?" She asked worried, they could hear the panic in her voice. "Calm down Sel, Kevin's got her she's sleeping and she told us everything." Joe soothed smiling as she sighed in relief. "Wait everything? Even about her dad?" Sel asked stunned. "What do you mean about her dad?" Kevin asked sharply, feeling Demi wiggle around sleepily and stroked her back and she sighed going still. "I can't tell you that, maybe she will when she's ready." Sel sighed, "Well I'll come get her and take her home." "It's okay Sel, we want her to move in with us." Nick spoke up, Kevin and Joe looked at him surprised and smiled before Kevin gently woke Demi up. "W..what." She mumbled sleepily blinking owlishly, they chuckled softly and she smiled a little. "Demikens!" Sel squealed, Demi jumped in surprise looking around trying to figure out where Sel was. "I'm on the phone." Sel and Demi giggled. "Selly! How was wizards?" Demi asked smiling leaning forward on Kevin's lap. "It was fun, but anyways would you like to live with the brothers?" Sel asked knowing hoe Demi felt about Joe and how Joe felt about Demi. "Yeah, that would be cool, I love Frankie and the Jonas'." Demi said coyly glancing at the boys. "What about us?" They demanded in mock anger as Sel and Demi burst out laughing. "You guys are okay, but not my favorite." Demi joked sticking out her tongue at them. "Now, now no fighting guys." Sel giggled. laying on her bed she felt a little lonely knowing that Demi wouldn't be staying with her in their apartment anymore. "Hang on a minute okay Sel." Nick ordered and turned the phone off speaker. "How about Sel lives here to help Demi get settled." He suggested. "You just want to be around her." Demi giggled making kissing noises. "Not t., oh alright that's partly it. But what do you say?" He smiled angelically and Joe and Kevin laughed. "Lets do it, there's more than enough room, but what will Miley and Taylor think?" Kevin chuckled at the looks on their faces (A/N: Joe is dating Taylor S. and Nick has just broken up with Miley, but Miley will not leave him alone.) "Who cares." Joe announced and turned on the phone again. "Sel tomorrow, we're coming over to help you and Demi pack." Joe informed her. "What do you mean?" Sel asked confused. "You are both moving in." Kevin announced and she squealed with excitement. "Awesome, well its late, see you guys around 2 bye." She hung up and danced around her room excitedly. "Demi smiled sleepily and blushed a deep red, burying her face in Kevin's Chest. Nick smiled knowingly while Joe sat looking confused. "Well Dems, lets get you settled here, how about tonight, we all sleep in here for like a sleep over." Kevin suggested, Demi smiled widely. Joe and Nick rolled their eyes but got up and pulled out the wide couch bed, gathered blankets and they all collapsed onto it Demi cuddled between Joe and they all fell asleep instantly. Five hours later they woke up to the sound of Demi screaming. Kevin stumbled around and found the switch when their vision cleared they saw Demi sitting up clutching her and screaming. "Omg, what's wrong?" Nick yelled as they watched terrified, he grabbed the phone and dialed Sel's number. "Demi its freaking six in the morning!" Sel groaned, sitting up when she heard the screams. "Sel! Its Nick, something's wrong with Demi, She's holding her head and screaming!" Nick said quickly tears of worry filling his eyes. "Oh my gosh, get her to the hospital now! I'll call and tell them that your coming and I'll meet you there." Sel ordered scrambling for clothes and then ran to her car. "Kevin get the car, Joe grabbed Demi and bring her to the car. I'll call mom dad and Big Rob to meet us there." Nick ordered as he dialed the numbers and told them to meet them at the hospital, Kevin got the car and soon enough they were speeding to the hospital. When they arrived Doctor's rushed away with Demi to an examination room. Sel was sitting beside Nick with tears streaming down her cheeks, Nick wrapped an arm around her shoulder and rested his chin on her head. Joe and Kevin were standing off to the side then let out a big sigh of relief when they saw their parents little brother and Big Rob come rushing through the doors. "What is it? What's going on?" Denise asked worried, seeing all her boys fine she was getting a little angry. "Its Demi." Kevin said softly, they all looked at him instantly worried, they loved the girl deeply. "What happened?" Big Rob asked, he was holding Frankie who was half explained what happened six months earlier they were all even more stunned when she told them that the bullet was still lodged in her brain and that she may have been screaming because the bullet could have moved. They all settled down with blankets the nurses gave them and waited for the Doctor's to give them the news about the surgery.
"Demetria Lovato?" Dr. Michals called out into the waiting room where everyone was still sleeping, Kevin jumped up and walked quickly, yet quietly over to the doctor. "How is she?" He asked softly eyes filled with worry. "Well during the examination we found that the bullet has moved further into the visual part of her brain which has damaged more and we will not be able to do anything about it right now. However if the bullet moves again we have no choice to remove it not matter the costs." Dr. Michals said softly, Kevin sighed then stuck his hand out and shook the doctors hand. "Thank you very much sir." Kevin smiled a little, Dr. Michals brought him over to Demi's room and left them alone. "Hey Dems." He said softly feeling his heard drop when she turned her head slowly towards him. "Hey Kevin." she smiled a little and he saw how tired she was, even though the bandages were around her eyes. "Let's get you home okay hunni." He smiled gently and lifted her into his arms carrying her bridal style out to the waiting room. "She can go home already?" Joe asked surprised he was the only one awake and watching them closely. "Yeah, here." Kevin smiled and deposited Demi in Joe's waiting arms, Demi yawned and wiggled around a little before going back into a deep sleep. "I'm going to take Demi to the car, you wake up everyone else." Joe ordered and walked out to the car, Kevin woke up everyone and they were surprised that she could go home all got into their cars and soon enough they were at the brothers mansion. Joe carried Demi into the living room laying her gently on the pulled out bed. Kevin, Nick, Selena, Frankie and Joe all climbed up as well and fell instantly asleep. Their parents crashed on the second couch while big Rob took the chair. Noon "Everybody up!" Paul called from the kitchen doorway laughing as they shot up in surprise and looked around still half awake. Demi slowly sat up after hearing his voice, then sighed sadly as she remembered what happened the night before and slowly trailed her fingers along the bandages. "Come on Dems, Joe and Nick are going to let us borrow clothes until we go back to our place." Selena said from beside Demi, Demi jumped in surprise and looked towards Sel. "Alright lets go." Demi smiled and Selena helped her up to Joe's room where she found a large t-shirt and hand handed it to Demi. "AWWW, that looks so cute!" Sel giggled, Demi had on his shirt and a belt, Selena had changed into one of Nick's shirts and Demi giggled as Sel described what they looked look. "Come on, I smell food." Demi grinned and they went downstairs to the kitchen where everyone was eating. "Wow..." Joe and Nick breathed causing demi and Selena to blush shyly. "You girls look adorable." Denise grinned handing them plates. Sel guided Demi to the table, where Joe pulled out a seat for her. Demi sat down and smiled at everyone, they all started eating again. "Sel. where's my glass at?" Demi asked softly they had come up with a system, that Selena would tell her the position of anything by the positions of what a clock would look like. "Your glass is at 3 o'clock." Sel smiled, everyone glanced up and watched surprised as Demi reached out and grabbed her drink without knocking anything over and took a sip before setting it back down slowly. "What are your plans for today?" Kevin asked, he had a lot of admiration for the two girls sitting in front of him. "Well, my brother might actually be coming home I got a call saying that they finally found him and he got the message about my parents." Demi said softly playing with her food, she hadn't seen her brother since she was 11 years old and was kind of scared. "I didn't know you had a brother." Joe said softly glancing at her in surprise. "Yeah, we never really brought him up at home, I haven't seen him in three years since he joined the marines." Demi smiled a little and finished eating. At 1:30 Selena and the whole family along with big Rob left for her and Demi's apartment, Demi stayed behind at the mansion so that she wouldn't be in the way. When there was a knock at the door Demi slowly went to the door and opened it up. Taylor Swift stared at the girl standing in front of her in disbelief. "Hello? whose there." Demi asked nervously biting her lip. "I'm Taylor Swift, who the hell are you?" Taylor demanded glaring hatefully at the smaller girl. "Oh, I'm Demi I live here." Demi smiled shyly not noticing the glares Taylor was sending her. "What? Where is Joe?" Taylor demanded stunned. "Oh everyone's at me and Sel's place to grab our stuff." Demi replied starting to feel a little uncomfortable. "Ugh, well will you tell him when he gets here that I stopped by." Taylor growled and stormed off leaving Demi stunned in the doorway. "Uh sure." Demi said to no one and slowly closed the door.
Demi shut the door and slowly moved towards the stairs that led towards the living room. Frankie earlier that day had left a garbage bag on the floor, Demi slipped and gasped as she felt her ankle twisting. Luckily she caught herself on the rail before she fell flat on her face. She limped slowly to towards the couch and feeling around she sat, laying on her back she propped up her ankle pulled a blanket over her and turned on the TV just for something to listen to. Demi knew that she should probably call Sel or Joe and tell them what happened but she didn't want to bother them she knew they would be busy packing their stuff. "Wow you girls have a lot of stuff." Joe gasped as he and Nick struggled out the door with Demi's bed. "Well, that's because we are girls and like our stuff." Sel giggled as her, Dani and Denise finished folding and packing away all their clothes. "You can say that again." Kevin grunted carrying out Sel's bed with big Rob. "So Sel, what did you mean about Demi's Dad?" Joe asked curiously, he grabbed a bottle of water and poured some over his hair cooling himself down a little. "Oh um, well I can't tell you that." Sel said quickly glancing around she saw Nick double checking drawers, her eyes widened when she remembered Demi's journal that she wrote in every night. "Nick, I'll do that!" "Oh um alright." Nick said, they all noticed how she had eagerly avoided Joe's question, they watched as she slid her hand over one of the drawers and out popped a small compartment, Sel reached inside and slowly pulled out a thick book. "What's that?" Kevin asked as they all crowded around her staring at it curiously. "This is um Demi's." Sel said holding the book behind her back moving towards one of the boxes. "Oh well what's in it?" Denise asked as Sel quickly stuffed it into one of her boxes. "Look, Dems has been through a lot these last few years, if she does not tell you what all has happened by Friday (A/N its Tuesday) then I will let you have this book and you can read about it. This 7 years worth of writing, Demi has never missed a night." Sel explained softly looking at them closely. "Alright sounds fair, now how about we head home." Paul suggested, Frankie had been sleeping the whole time in the car and was just starting to wake up. "Mom, I'm hungry." Frankie called from the car watching them. "Alright sweetie, we're heading home right now okay." Denise called back, they all got back into their cars and drove back to the Jonas Mansion, there were photographers all up and down the roads wondering what was going on. "Ugh finally," Joe groaned, they walked in deciding to leave the unpacking for the next day. "I'll go find Demi." Frankie announced and ran off, leaving the rest in the Kitchen standing around and talking. "AHHHHH!" Demi screamed when Frankie jumped down onto her feet, pain shooting up her leg. "What the.." Kevin exclaimed they all ran into the living room to see Frankie standing there scared and Demi sitting up clutching at her ankle. "What happened?" Denise demanded glancing at Frankie, who shook his head worried. "I..I.. um slipped on the stairs." Dems said softly, imagining the looks on their faces, she felt the couch sink a little and felt someone hands grasp her ankle. "What happened?" Joe asked softly, he took the wrap that Nick handed him and slowly began to tape up her ankle. "Well, someone was at the door so I went to get it and when I was walking back to the couch I forgot about the steps." Demi giggled a little biting her lip as he pressed on very tender spot. "Sorry Hun," Joe smiled a little, his smile faded when he looked up and saw Frankie's pale face and guilty eyes. "What's wrong Frankie?" "I..I..It's my fault Demi fell." Frankie whispered biting his lip nervously, Kevin walked over and sat on a chair pulling Frankie into his lap. "Why do you say that?" Kevin asked softly, smiling as Joe cuddled Demi into his arms his head on her shoulder. "Well, I dropped a garbage back and mom said to pick it up but I was so excited to help you guys move stuff that I forgot." Frankie said quickly looking away from Kevin. "Frankie come here." Demi ordered gently, she sat up feeling him come close to her "I'm sorry Dems." Frankie said softly, Demi smiled a little and slowly lifting her hands she moved her fingers over his face feeling his frown. "Frankie smile, silly goose I'm fine and it was an accident." Demi said gently, she smiled when his lips twitched under her fingers. "Thanks Dems, can I go play now?" Frankie asked Denise who had been watching with a smile on her face. "Yeah go on," Denise sighed waving him away rolling her eyes. "What would you guys like for dinner?" "Pizza!" They all announced with smiles on their faces. "Where's Dani?" Demi asked suddenly, Dani walked over and dropped to her knees in front of Demi.
