"Well since you're my daughter, people think it's an automatic okay to say mean stuff about you on social media and nobody would know, since they're their behind a screen," I told my daughter softly.

"Lauren, relax. I know about hate, and it doesn't bother me. As you said, if they don't know you personally, don't take it personal," she shrugged and I sighed in relief.

Averi's POV:

My mom smiled at me and hugged me. "You're so mature and smart, I love you so much my baby," she said and hugged her back, feeling guilty for lying about the hate not getting to me. In reality, it hurts, and every comment feels like a needle in my heart, but it's the truth, so it's okay.

"C'mon bubba, let's go, I felt the bus stop," Lauren ushered me to the door where everyone was waiting for us and looked at us in a concerned way when we arrived. Lauren gave a wave of her hand and the girls nodded, and started a conversation as we got out.

"Hey AJ, are you excited?" Camila asked.

"Yeah, but I'm so nervous, I mean its THE Demi Lovato," I replied and she hugged me.

"Awh babe. I felt the same way when I first met her. She's the sweetest and will make you feel so comfortable," Camila told me and I smiled at her.

"Thanks for always making me feel better, Mila,"

"No problem Averi. You are like our niece/sister/daughter all in one. since you are Lo's you are all of ours," she smiled, and I copied the action.

We arrived to the large white house and walked up the cement walkway. Normani knocked on the big wooden dual doors and a few seconds later, the Queen herself opened the door.

"Hey guys!" Demi said and gave all the girls hugs. When she reached me, she crouched and hugged me. "Hey Averi, how are you?" she asked and I went into shock.

"I-go-you-lo-YOU ARE HOTTER IN PERSON" I blurted, immediatly covering my mouth in fear, only to see everyone giggling.

"Why thank you. You are quite beautiful yourself," she told me and stood up.

"Thank you," I whispered but the voices in my head quickly took away th happy thought.

She's lying. You are hideous Averi. Have you gained some pounds? Stop eating!

"Stop!" I whispered to myself and shut my eyes.

After the voices passed, I followed the girls and Demi to the living room, admiring the huge house on the way.

"Let's talk," Demi said, as she put on the radio and we all sat down. When I was walking to a seat, Lauren grabbed my waist and pulled me in her lap.

"I wanna sit by you," she pouted and I giggled, hugging her. She wrapped her arms protectively around my waist and put her chin on my shoulder. "I love you soooooo much," she whispered in my ear.

"I love you sooooo much too," I replied back, kissing her cheek. Then, she started to stroke my head and kiss my temple occasionally when she suddenly stopped. I looked up to see why she stopped and saw all the girls smiling at us and Demi recording our little exchange with tears in her eyes.

"That was the cutest thing I've ever seen. Lauren, you are such a good mother," she told us and I turned to Lauren.

"Yes, you are. You are the best mother,Lo," I told her causing her to smile. We turned to the rest of the girls and Demi started talking.

"Who's the meanest one of them?" Demi asked me, smirking. I looked at her then at the girls who were pointing at each other. "None of them. They are all so nice, kind, caring, and the most amazing aunts/sisters/second mothers ever," I told her, referencing what Camila had told me earlier.

"Awwwww!" They all chorused and hugged me. For the rest of the night, we hung out and watched movies, and I slowly lost a little bit of my shock. Sadly, the clock turned 11:30 PM, and we had to leave, because Demi had to fly back to LA at 5AM.

"Bye Averi, it was so nice meeting you babe. If you ever want to talk or need advice, text me," she said handing my a slip of paper with her number and hugged me.

"Thank you so much Demi, i had so much fun," I replied and she hugged me once more before we entered the bus and drove to the hotel we were staying at.

"I'm so tired," Dinah yawned once we reached our ajoined rooms.

"Yeah, me too,goodnight ya'll," Ally said and they walked to their room followed by Normani.

"I'm going to go change," Camila told us and walked into our hotel bathroom with her pajamas in hand.

"Me too, you can change out here babe," Lauren told me and walked to Ally, Dinah, and Mani's room's bathroom. I changed and jumped under the cover and was halfway asleep when I felt the bed sink down. Knowing it was my mom, I cuddled into her and closed my eyes again. Right when I was going to doze off again, I remebered something.

"Lauren?" I asked the older girl, seeing if she was awake. "I have to tell you something," I whispered trying not to wake Mila on the other bed.

"Yeah?" she asked, concerned.

"I met and got Demi Lovato's number today," I giggled idiotically, evidently still in shock, and Lauren just chuckled and pulled me closer into her. "I know honey, go to bed, I love you, forever and always." she said and we both fell into a deep slumber.
