Run Over (Demi Lovato FanFic)

Chapter 20

DEMI'S  POV
Its been a week and she hasn't talked to us. She's mute till she has a nightmare, but even then she doesn't talk when we wake her up, she just cries. She won't eat, but she will drink milk. She really likes Shatto milk, which is good because it is whole milk which she will gain a little weight. Nick has gone out a lot. I'm not exactly sure where he goes or what he does. I talked to Dallas about Brad and she said he was weird. But she really didn't have much to say. Right now I'm in my office searching for a tutor and scheduling interviews for my tour. The house phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Mrs. Lovato this is Detective Wilson and I am calling to inform you that the Mendez vs. Chavez case is brought to the court next Tuesday. River-"
"Jordan. She goes by Jordan." I stop her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Jordan, will have to be there. I don't believe she will have to speak, till the trial and even then she will not have to speak in front of the court. She will have to go into a room and tell a lady what happened and there will be a live stream to the court and jury will decide then."
"Okay, is this all happening on Tuesday?"
"No, this will all happen over the course of the month."
"Okay. Thank you have a great evening." I say and then hang up the phone. Just as the front door slams shut. I step out of the office and walk to the kitchen just as Nick stumbles into the counter. I can smell the liquor on him. "You've been drinking." I state.
"Babe, it's fine."
"No, you drove home drunk. Have you been leaving this house to go get wasted."
"Woah, just chill okay." He snaps at me.
"Don't tell me to fucking chill, Nicholas."
"You know what? I am a grown fucking man, and if I want to have a few drinks to clear my mind then I will."
"Okay, if thats how you need to clear your head then get out."
"Where the hell am I supposed to go?"
I hear a loud crash from up stairs. I turn to the stairs and holler back to Nick, "I really don't care. Just get out and come back when you have your shit together."
"Where the hell am I supposed to go?" He asks following me.
"I don't know call a cab and get out."

JORDAN'S POV
It's been a week of pure pain. My body hurts, my brain hurts. I wake up and hear yelling. I clutch my stomach and stumble out of bed only to trip over the bed, I tumble the ground with a loud crash. I stumble to my door just as Demi appears. I stand in the door way.
"Demi, I'm sorry." Nick slurs.
"Don't talk to me until you are sober. I can't believe this shit. I can't fucking deal with your bullshit right now. Just leave."
"Baby, just listen, I'm sor-"
"Get the fuck out now!" Demi screams.
Nick bows his head in shame. He walks closer to Demi to hug her but she pushes him off. He notices me, "Hey, baby-girl nice to see you out bed. I've got to go. I'll see you tomorrow." I nod.
Demi leans against the door with her shoulders shaking. I hug her from behind and lay my head on her back and wrap my arms around her. "Momma?" I whisper.
"Hm."
"I love you."
"I love you too," she turns to face me, her face red, "I need to talk to you. Why don't we go sit down and I'll make you something to eat."
"My tummy still hurts. Can I just have something to drink?" She nods. I sit down on my bed while she goes to the fridge and brings me a bottle of Shatto chocolate milk.
"Okay so, Sam is in jail. They are starting court stuff Tuesday. You have to come, you don't have to say anything. I have set you up with a Therapist that will come to the house, starting tomorrow, they are hour long sessions. Your tutor will start coming for an hour every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We will meet her tomorrow in the morning, at Starbuck's."
"Why do I have to go to court?"
"I don't know, but I will defiantly be there, I bet nick will be there, too."
"Demi, do you still want me?"
"Of course, I love you and Nick loves you, no matter what."
"Promise?"
"Promise." I lean against the head board and close my eyes, "Are you tired?"
"Yeah." I whisper.
"Okay you take a nap and I'll order some thing for dinner."
"Stay?"
"Okay, I'll stay till you fall asleep."
"Okay."
I snuggle into her and listen to her heartbeat and fall asleep with in minutes.

**Still Jordan's POV**
I'm startled awake by the sound of heavy foot steps coming down the hall. I turn toward my clock realizing that it is past midnight. I grab my phone and hide in the deepest corner of my closet. I hear my door swing open. I try to keep my breathing calm. I begin to cry. I wish dad was here. Then my phone begins to ring loudly, I try to turn it off but the closet door swings open and the lights flash on, "No! Please just go away! Please." I beg.
"Baby-girl it is me." Someone whispers.
"Momma! Help! Please." I scream hysterically. Demi rushes in and sits down next to me.
She begins to yell, "Damnit Nick!"
"I'm sorry." He mumbles.
"I told you to fucking leave. Look what you have done."
"Jordan I'm sorry. It's just me."
"I thought it was Drake and I got scared. Then someone called me and he found me. I wished daddy was here, so he could keep us safe. But he, wasn't and...and,"
"Breathe." Demi instructs.
"And I just wanted them to go away, Dad. They hurt me and I thought you were them and you were going to hurt me again. You said you weren't going to leave, and you left."
