Help Me, Mom | Demi Lovato

48

Alex's POV
Jake and I have been dating for a week. When he doesn't want to abuse me, he's really sweet. Last week, he took me to the carnival and it was amazing! He abuses me fairly often, and it hurts. I deserve it though.

"I love you, babe." Jake spoke softly as he kissed me on the lips.

"I love you more. You make me the happiest girl on the planet." I replied after we kissed. "Ohh! I'm gonna post this photo of us! I found it in my camera roll earlier!"

"You make me the happiest guy on the planet." Jake said. I blushed madly.

Demi's POV
"Hi, Maddie!" I exclaimed as I hugged my baby sister. "You said you wanted to talk about something?" I asked as we both sat down at the kitchen table.

"Yes. This is serious, Dems." Maddie stated.

"How serious?" I asked nervously. What if my baby sister is self harming? No! I can't think like that.

"It's about Alex's new boyfriend. He's bad news."

"How do you know this?" I looked Maddie in the eyes.

"Jake went out with Logan back in middle school. He's a year older than her! He's twenty-one, Demi!" Maddie exclaimed.

"Wait what?!" I stood up, upset that my daughter is dating someone who is twenty-one. How did I not notice? "I'm going to call her."

Alex's POV
My phone started ringing and I went to answer it.

"Hello?" I asked, as I answered the phone.

"Alexis Grace Lovato, get home right now! We have to talk." Mom spoke.

"Okay, okay. I'm on my way." I replied. I hung up and looked at Jake. "Jake, I have to go home. My Mom wants to talk with me." I told him.

"You, bitch!" Jake smacked me. "I give you so much love and you ditch our date so you can go and talk to your Mommy?!" He screamed in my face. He proceeded to throw a punch and it hit my cheek.

"Ow!" I screamed. "Please, take me home! She just needs to talk to me." I pleaded. Jake finally agreed after a couple more slaps and drove me home.

Once I got dropped off, I ran inside the house and up to my bathroom and pulled out the makeup. I started to cover the bruise on my face that Jake gave me.

"Alex! Are you home?!" Mom shouted.

"Yes! Just give me a minute!" I replied back. I finished covering the bruise and put the makeup away. I proceeded to go downstairs to where Mom was.

"Sit down. We need to talk." Mom commanded as she pointed to the couch. I sat down and she sat down next to me.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked.

"About Jake. Maddie told me he's twenty-one." Mom looked me in the eyes. I can't lie to her. I'm already lying to her. I drink and I don't tell her. Jake abuses me and I don't tell her.

"Yes.. he's twenty-one."

"What the fuck?! Why are you dating someone who is twenty-one?!" Mom got pissed fast. "I want you to break up with him."

"That's not fair! You dated Wilmer and he was twelve years older than you!" I fought back.

"We waited till I was eighteen! You're only fourteen, Alex! It's illegal!"

"I don't care! I love him and I'm going to stay with him!" I walked toward the front door, grabbing my phone and charger.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Out." I simply stated and ran out the door. I ran all the way to Jake's house since she won't find me there.

"Alex? What are you doing here?" Jake asked as he opened the door.

"I need somewhere to stay." I panted, out of breath.

"Of course you can stay here, babe." Jake let me inside and I plopped down on his bed.

"I'm tired." I pouted as Jake came to cuddle next to me.

"Go to sleep. I'll be here." Jake smiled. I nodded as I hid my face against his chest and fell asleep.
