High School Drama (A Demi Lovato fanfic)

Chapter 39 - Rehearsal

Sierra's POV:

Today is the start of rehearsal week for the concert on Saturday. Anybody who's performing is having a three hour rehearsal every day this week. I honestly don't think I need it though. I'm famous.

Demi's unfortunately the coach. My mother.

In Rehearsal:

"Good morning class!" How'd everybody doing?"

"Good." The class responded in unison.

"That's good." She said in a cheerful tone.

I've been trying to work up the courage to tell her that I've started cutting again. It's strange because every time I'm in the angry phase of my bipolar, all I want to do is cut. On my arms. On my legs. On my stomach. I. Don't. Know. How. To. Stop. As much as I hate it, I have to tell her. Maybe if I ask to talk to her alone now, she won't get so pissed.

I walked up to her and said "I really need to speak to you in private."

"Alright, follow me."

I followed her into a long, narrow hallway at the back, the one leading to the bathroom.

"What's up Sierra?"

"Can I show you something?"

"Of course."

I slowly pulled up my sleeve which revealed about ten or so new cuts.

"Oh, Sierra." She pulled me in for a hug, then said "I'm so glad you showed me, that's a step in the right direction. I think that it would be great for you to go to Rehab."

"I've started eating again though."

"I know, but at night I've been hearing you go into the bathroom and purge. I didn't say anything because I though that it would pass and you would stop soon; but now that I know you've been cutting again, I don't think it's going to."

I started crying. I don't need rehab. This is stupid.

"Sweetie, it's going to be on. You did the right thing by telling me. How about if you agree to go to rehab, I'll come with you and request that I be the one following you around all day, instead of someone else. You wi just be with me all day in a private facility, where we can focus on helping you."

I just stared at her, then said "alright, I'll do it."

"Thank you." She hugged me again. Then said "alright, let's get back to rehearsal."

I guess this might not be so bad. I'll get through it. If I just try to get better, everything is going to be ok.

We went back and started warming up again.

"Awesome everyone!" She said followed by clapping.

Everyone was just staring at her as if she is crazy. Then she started laughing.
You know, she is pretty awesome. At least she actually cares about me. My parents never cared. I could walk around the house, not even trying to hide the cuts and they don't care. They wouldn't say anything. All they cared about is my younger sister. Things are different now though. I've been living with Demi for over a year now and she has done nothing but try to help me and be a good mother.

"Alright, let's try singing 'Give your Heart a Break'"

The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love
But now that I get you
I know fear is what it really was

Now here we are,
So close yet so far.
Haven't I passed the test?
When will you realize,
Baby, I'm not like the rest?

Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

On Sunday you went home alone
There were tears in your eyes
I called your cell phone, my love
But you did not reply

The world is ours. If we want it,
We can take it if you just take my hand.
There's no turning back now.
Baby, try to understand

Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

When your lips are on my lips
Then our hearts beat as one
But you slip out of my fingertips
Every time you run, whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh

Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break

'Cause you've been hurt before
I can see it in your eyes
You try to smile it away, some things you can't disguise
Don't wanna break your heart
Baby, I can ease the ache, the ache
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love

"Alright very good. Let's call that good for today. I'll see you all tomorrow."

After the class had left, I walked up to her and said "thanks. Thanks for being a great mother and caring about me. Thanks for trying help me and thanks for always being there for me, even when it seemed nearly impossible. I love you. Your an incredible mother and an incredible friend."

"Aww, thank you Sierra."

I hugged her. "I love you."

"I love you too."

After that, I left the building with a huge smile plastered onto my face. She really is an incredible mother.
