JORDAN'S POV
I saw Tyler. I didn't mean to freak out. I was having a great time with Dallas. She's amazing and so funny. She picked out some cute clothes. I think she's used to Demi's punk rock style. She didn't grab one red or pink item. Then he showed up and I freaked out. She probably thinks I'm a freak. She held me as we waited for Demi. Then she told me she loved me.
Now I am sitting in the car trying to formulate the words that Sam wasn't the only person who hurt me.
By the time I open my mouth, we're pulling up to the house. I have to tell Demi but I can't tell Nick.
"Demi, I need you to promise me that you won't tell Dad."
"I can't promise that. We don't keep secrets in this family."
I knew she was going to say that, but still I protest, "He'll get mad. He'll cry and yell."
"We can get through whatever it is. Just tell me."
I take a deep shaky breath, "Sam isn't the only one who hurt me. His friends would hurt me too. I freaked out today because I saw his friend who..." I stop and take a deep breath. I can't  look at Demi. I pull off my jacket and lifted my tank to show her the scar on my side. That is still about four inches long. She gasps and I continue, "His friend did this. Sam wasn't there and I passed out. I think Sam stitched me back up. When I woke up no body was there. I cried for my Mom and Dad but I was all alone." I open my eyes to a crying Demi. Nick is watching out the living room window. Before she can say anything, I blurt, "Can we go inside?" She nods. We  Get out. Nick rushes past me to Demi. I will admit my heart clenches but I understand.
I go straight to the dance room. I plug my phone into the system and turn on 'Chandelier' by Sia. I turn it all the way up. I almost do the exact same dance as Maddie Ziegler but adding more turns and jumps. When the song is over I'm heaving. I turn everything off and go to the kitchen for a bottle of water. I know what I have to do. I go to the living to find Demi and Nick. They aren't there. I walk past my room to their door. I can hear Nick soothing Demi. I knock on the door and Nick flings it open, "What's up baby-girl?" He asks.
"I need to tell you something."
He raises an eyebrow, Demi's head pops up from the bed. "Please, just tell us everything. We need to know."
"I need to go to the police. I need to get everything of my chest. I want you guys to be my Mom and Dad. I want to tell you everything but I don't want you to send me away. I'm scared." I whisper. I don't know why I'm so vulnerable lately. I just want them to love me and be there for me. I think I can actually trust them.
"Forever. You're forever our little girl." Nick says pulling me into a hug. I cling to him. He smells like my Dad, clean, with a hint of pine. "Shh, it's okay." He whispers.
"We can go now." Demi announces.
"No, not yet. We have to go see Dallas."
"What?" Demi asks.
"You said we would go to Grandma's and see Maddie and Dallas tonight."
"Oh, yeah. You still wanna go?"
"Yes, please. Can we go now?"
"Yeah. Go shower and get changed."
I do as I am told. I hop in the shower and wash my hair. I start to wash my body but the water isn't hot enough. I keep turn it till it hits my body turning me red. I hate how I have to do this. I need to be clean. My wrists begin to itch. I know I shouldn't but I need to. I grab my blade from underneath the shampoo bottle. I drag it across my thighs three times. Then my wrist twice. Then Dad bangs on the door, causing me to jump and drop the blade. "Hurry, we are leaving in twenty minutes." He hollers. I watch as my blood turns pink as it washes down the drain. I turn the water off and dry myself off. I blow dry my hair and put on black skinny jeans and a big blue hoodie, some eyeliner and mascara. I brush my hair placing a black beanie on my head. I go to the kitchen and hop on the counter and drink another bottle of water as I wait for Demi and Nick.
