Invisible Home

chapter 20

"evie?" i felt someone shaking my shoulder

"evie please eat baby, you haven't eaten in two days" dallas said, i flickered my gaze to demi, then back to the food

"you want her help?" dallas questioned, i shook my head

"i don't want her here" there was obvious tension at the table, Maddie was joking around trying to fill it but dallas was extremely upset with demi and it was so blatantly obvious. dallas stood up and grabbed my food, then she grabbed my hand and we moved into her room, onto her couch in front of her tv. she put on one of my favorite movies and then sat me on her lap with the food next to us.

"baby, i'm so proud of you" dallas said about an hour into the movie, i looked up from her shoulder and gave her a confused look

"you ate it all" i looked down to the plate and it was empty

"but how?"

"you were distracted, so i fed you"

"i'm going to get fat" she shook her head

"no you aren't baby" i sighed and focused back in on the movie. by the end i was in tears, wishing that my family weren't so complicated.

"i know baby, we're going to work this out i promise" i looked at her confused as to how she knew

"i guessed"

"how about we go wash the dishes?" i nodded, i knew what she was doing and i guess it was sort of working. we went downstairs and dallas collected the dishes whilst i ran the water.

both of us ended up soaked, it was fun, i actually enjoyed washing the dishes with dallas.

"please don't make me go back with her" i begged clinging to dallas' legs

"i'll try everything i can to keep you from being unhappy, and if going back with demi makes you unhappy then i'll fight for you" demi walked into the room and i hid behind dallas

"can we talk?" dallas turned around to me and kissed my forehead

"go to mad baby" i shook my head

"what if i can't find her and i'm all alone, i'm scared dally" dallas hugged me then turned back to demi

"stay here, i'll be back" dallas and i then went off to find maddie who was in her bedroom

"hey eve!" maddie welcomed as i walked in

"hey mad!" even now my mind flicks back to what happened with the stairs, but maddie's changed, she's super nice and lovable.

"you left her! there is no way in hell shes going back with you" great more fighting, i don't want to go with demi and thats final

"she's my daughter"

"you lost the right to being a mother when you left her"

"i was scared dallas, and i still am"

"you can't just run away when your scared, she's terrified and barely trusts anyone" dallas cried

"i'm sorry, i was fucking stupid and i'm never going to forgive myself but please don't take her"

"i live with you, marissa lives with us just like before, you get one chance demi, you'd better not fuck it up" maddie got up and walked out of the room, i guess curious as to what's happening. it didn't take long for the anxiety to set in and me to start screaming. the door flew open and demi was first to run in, i was scared and dallas wasn't anywhere

"eve, babygirl it's mommy, please don't cry" i screamed louder and dallas ran into the room. i got off the floor and ran to her, she picked me up, calmingly rubbing my back. when i calmed down maddie walked back into the room

"are you okay?" i snuggled further into dallas

"she's okay mads, just a little scared of being left alone"

"i'm so sorry eve" maddie said

"it's okay"

"eve, baby girl, what i did was so wrong and i'm so sorry for leaving you. there's no excuse for what i did it was so extremely wrong, please baby, please forgive me, i love you" demi said

"you hurt me" i bluntly said she stepped over to dallas and i

"i know, and it kills me inside more and more everyday, i can't explain how sorry i am"

"it's going to take more than an apology for me to forgive you. dally, i wanna go to bed" demi's face fell but she quickly accepted it probably understanding that it would take more to get my forgiveness. i wanted to forgive her but i'm scared to, she'll probably just hurt me again

"okay baby" dallas said, i quickly hugged maddie goodnight and then dallas picked me back up and carried me to her room

dallas put my pajamas on and threw hers on, getting into bed with me. it wasn't long before i fell asleep in her arms.
