Demi

I held onto her tightly, wiping away her tears and kissing her forehead every so often 

"I love you babygirl"

"I don't want to leave you DemDem, when I'm with you I feel safe, I know that you'd know if I were in trouble, but when I'm with Dallas I get scared, scared I'm going to kill myself"

"baby, please you know I have to help Maddie, but I've told you as soon as she gets better you'll come back to me I promise, I just need you to hang on for a couple more months, if you are that scared I want you to go to Dallas and make her call me" she nodded sadly. 

All of a sudden her separation anxiety kicked in and she started screaming, I had no idea why but she couldn't stop she just screamed. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her onto my lap I kissed her forehead and held onto her tightly.

Finally I got her to stop screaming, but I knew that I wasn't holding my twelve year old sister in my arms anymore, I could tell by the way she was positioned

"DemDem, I misses you" she whimpered into my chest

"baby? How old are you?"

"silly DemDem, I'm three" and headspaced Bea is back, fuck I hope Dallas has everything she needs when she's headspaced

"I want paci" she wailed grabbing onto my shirt, I picked her up and carried her downstairs 

"Dallas, we have an issue" I  yelled over a crying Bea

"Why is she crying, Demi? Fuck!" Dallas said putting the pieces together

"I want paci" she wailed again

Dallas ran and grabbed the bag that has all of Bea's supplies, throwing it at me

"baby, shh stop crying please, we've got your paci right here" I said rubbing her back and walking over to the couch. I put the bag on the ground and rummaged through it quickly grabbing her pacifier and putting it in her mouth. She instantly started to calm down and I breathed a sigh of relief .

"Demi, what happened?" Dallas asked as I held Bea on my lap

"we were talking, she told me some stuff and all of a sudden she started screaming,  and now she's back in her headspace" 

"what did she tell you?"

"she's afraid she's going to kill herself without me there" I said stroking the back of Bea's hand, she was sucking on her pacifier with her head in my chest 

"she is?" Dallas asked with her bottom lip quivering, I nodded sadly, Bea started to squirm and I knew that she was going to get rowdy

"MADDIE" I yelled moving Bea off of my lap, she ran into the room and took one look before taking Bea's hand and leading her out of the room

"I don't know what to do anymore Demi! I've tried to help her, and it isn't helping her at all, please help me" Dallas cried putting her head in her hands, I moved closer to her and put my hand on her back

"You've just got to keep her safe, I honestly think you are doing well Dallas, she needs to want to recover before she can recover"  

"b-but Demi what if she does it, in my house, I'd never be able to live with myself, it'd be all my fault" she said lifting her head to reveal tears falling from her eyes

"Dallas, it wouldn't be your fault, I went over it with her, I told her that if she ever felt that bad she is to go to you and you are to call me. If she ever gets that bad, we are all going to mom and dad's for the night, and we are having an emergency meeting" Dallas nodded and wrapped her arms around me 

"I'm scared Demi" Dallas whimpered into my shoulder

"I know Dal, so am I"

"you're scared?" Maddie whimpered suddenly appearing in the room,I quickly shook my head

"am I going to lose my little sister?" she asked coming closer to us and sitting in front of us

"where is she?" I asked letting go of Dallas

"upstairs asleep" Dallas stood up and started to walk towards the stairs 

"I'm going to check on her"

"Demi, what are you going to do, I don't want to lose her" Maddie cried moving onto the couch next to me

"I know baby, none of us do, but we can't send her to treatment, not yet" she nodded and wrapped her arms around my waist 

"what happens if she wants to do it? What are we going to do?"

"Dallas is going to call us, and no matter what time it is we'll go over and pick them and take them to mom and dads, where we will all have an emergency meeting and if needed we'll send her to treatment the next day" she nodded and wiped her tears 

"she's so sick Dem, she's so sick!" tears started falling out of her eyes again

"she's so skinny, what if her heart stops? What if no one can get to her, please don't make them go back to Dallas' I need her in the same house, I can't live with myself if she's not okay" Maddie begged 

"baby, I'll talk to Dallas, I actually think that's a good idea, you are such a good big sister baby" Maddie shook her head

"I hurt her, if i hadn't of been so stupid then she wouldn't be so sick, she was getting better with you, and I ruined that" I shook my head

"Baby I swear you didn't, okay? You didn't make her this bad" Dallas walked in carrying a sleeping Bea in her arms

"I don't want to leave her, I need her in my arms, I need to know she's safe" Dallas said walking in and sitting on the couch laying her across her lap
