Lilly's POV
I was surprised to see Demi come in after only being gone for half an hour. I was even more surprised to hear her apologize.
"Babe, I'm sorry. I guess I just got jealous. I shouldn't-" She stopped when she saw Marissa here. Her face turned bright red.
"Dem, babe, Marissa and I were talking earlier because we were going to be planning a surprise party for your 19th birthday because it's next week. We hate to ruin the surprise, but we felt it was more important to tell you and save our relationship." I explained.
Demi came over to me and hugged me tight, then pecked me lightly. She turned to Marissa, and hugged her. "Marissa, I'm really sorry that I thought you were having an affair with my girlfriend. I know you'd never do that to me."
"It's okay Dems, I understand where you were coming from. Let's all go grab lunch!" Marissa suggested.
We piled into the car and drove to a small cafe. We ordered and I raised my eyebrows at Demi when all she ordered was a salad. She gave me a look that said trust me. Halfway through, Marissa looked down at her phone and announced she had to leave, she lost track of time and had a meeting to get to. So, Demi and I ate and made small talk. I decided to intervene since she had been acting funny since we got to the restaurant.
"Dems, what's wrong? You've been acting weird since we got here."
"Babe, I'm fine. I'm gonna run to the restroom real fast."
I got a bad feeling, so I waited for her to walk a few feet, then followed her to the bathroom. I entered and got upset at what I heard/saw. I saw her in a stall on her knees, gagging noises.
"DEMETRIA!"
Demi's POV
I couldn't help it. The past few weeks, especially since Lilly got out of treatment, my demons have been coming back like crazy. Lunch set me over the edge. Fat. Fat. Fat. That's what you are. You're not good enough to keep food in you. But hey, we're here to help. Get a salad, then purge. That''ll make you happy. Against my better judgement, I got a salad. Each bite made me feel like I was gaining 10 pounds. It sounds crazy, but that's what eating disorders do to you.
I got up and made my way to the restroom, made sure that nobody was in there, got on my knees, and stuck two fingers down my throat. Before anything came up, I heard someone yell my name. I froze. Oh shit. It's Lilly. I heard knocking on the stall.
"Babe, please open up," she said, desperation in her voice. With a sigh, I opened the door.
"Why Demi, why?"
"I-...I'm sorry Lilly. I let you down. I should've told you my demons were coming back. I just-I, I didn't want to disappoint you." I said. I couldn't bring myself to pick my head up.
"Babe, next time tell me. I'm not disappointed in you. I'm just angry at the disease and what it's doing to you. Let's go."
We got home and spent that time cuddling. When I looked at the time, I realized it was already 5:00. I got up to go get ready to go out. When I was done, Lilly's jaw dropped.
"Holy shit Dems, you look HOT! What are you all dressed up for?"
"I'm going out. I'll be back by midnight?" I responded.
"Woah woah woah. Where are you going? Who are you going with?" She said, suddenly suspicious.
"Uh, I'm grabbing a bite with Marissa and then we're meeting up with some friends for a late movie." I lied.
"Okay, have fun!" she planted a kiss on me, squeezing my ass, "and you know if you ever need anything like a designated driver I'm your girl. Not that you would break your sobriety."
That last line made me really uneasy. I was going to a nightclub. Which was known for serving minors. But I knew I could control myself, right?
I kissed Lilly goodnight, and left. Boy, was I wrong.
