You do as I say, understood?

Shit Hits the Fan

Demi's POV

I'm standing outside of Addys house, I've been absolutely worried sick all day. I just need to see her to make sure that she is okay

I hear her unlock the door

"Come in.." I hear her soft broken voice say and I open the door, Adelaide is turned with her back towards me as she slowly walks towards her back door.

Her house is dark, all the lights are off except for one dull closet light, I can feel myself panic a little but I close and lock her front door and follow her towards the backyard, she slowly sits on one of the patio chairs and I sit next to her, I can't see her face because there is no light on

"Can I turn the light on love..?"
"No...I want it dark.." she quickly states
"What's going on Addy... please.. I'm worried sick about you. Are you okay? Why can't I see your beautiful face?"
I hear her sniffle softly, I know she didn't want me to hear it, but I did. I see her outline as she wipes her eyes and then reaches for her cigarettes, her hands are shaking furiously. I stand and walk over to her slowly which causes her to jump

"Shh.. it's okay.. let me help you" I grab her pack of smokes and slide one out for her, slowly place it between her lips as I grab the lighter. She turns her face when the flame comes up

"Please let me see you.." she shakes her head and takes the lighter from my hands as she turns away from me to light her cigarette
I let out a deep sigh as I grab a cigarette out of her pack for myself and quickly light it before returning back to my seat

"I thought you said smoking was bad for you"

"It is.. but this stress and tension isn't helping me right now at all. I just need to release a bit of it"

"I'm sorry I stress you out.. and I'm sorry I caused you to worry.. but.. you don't have to be here.." she says to me quietly and I walk back over to her as I cup her beautiful face in my hands, her body clenching up as I do so

"I'm not going to hurt you.. and I want to be here okay? So just stop. I want to be here for you." I state in a stern yet soft voice
All I can see are her dark eyes, I see their glisten, full of tears and I slowly wrap my arms around her which once again causes her to tense up

"Fuck that hurts.. please stop.." she cries out
The worry I had before quickly returns and I slowly release her

"Why does it hurt Addy...?"

"I fell..."

"Well, can we go inside and maybe I can look at where you hit yourself when you fell? So I can see if it's serious or not? And clean it up for you if it needs cleaning?" I say reassuringly

"No... I already cleaned myself up..."

"How did you manage that if it's on your back?"

"I just took a long shower... let the hot water clean me.."

"Yes honey I get that, but I need to see the damage you caused, and maybe put some antibacterial ointment on it or something so it won't get infected"

"No please... I don't want you to see.." she says in a shaky voice and I let out a deep sigh

"How did you fall Addy..?"

She looks at her cigarette as she inhales then releases the smoke and I do the same, I wait for her to answer but the answer never comes

"Adelaide. How did you fall. Answer me"

"I just... tripped..." she mutters

"How did you hit your back if you tripped my dear"

"I... took a step back.. and one of the pups was behind me.. and I fell back and hit the corner of the counter..." Okay Adelaide. You're not a very good liar. At all. So what the fuck really happened. I need to get her to the light so I can see. But she's clearly not going to allow that.
