Eret POV:
As they ended their stream, I realized how late it was. I got up to get a small snack, tired after laughing and smiling so much. I ate a handful of goldfish and went to my room, changing into pajamas and laying in bed. I followed them on Twitter when I had found them, and I texted Dream about their newest stream, and what I had realized.
Clay, I realized something

What is it, Eret? And istg if this is about y/n again I'm gonna scream

It's not about how awesome they are, even though they are awesome as hell

Then what?

I think they have an eating disorder

Woah okay what evidence

They are extremely thin, and short, and this stream was the first time I've seen them eat

Oh god. That's good evidence.

Yeah.

Alright, at least they did eat.

I made them eat.

At least you helped

Yeah

Night Eret

Night Clay

I set my phone down, and immediately fell asleep.

~~~THE NEXT DAY~~~
Y/n POV:
I woke up relatively early, and checked my phone. I saw that I had some new Twitter followers.
Dream and 10 others have followed you

I saw all the amount of follows I had gained, and saw they were all Dream SMP members.
I saw they had followed me soon after my stream ended the night before, and realized I got donations from each of them, except Dream. I was confused at his follow, and saw that he had messaged me. My god. THE DREAM has followed me! I checked the message, and immediately realized it was a strange message. Not a 'your stream was cool' or, 'hey, you're good at Minecraft'.
It said;

Hey, Eret told me about you. I was wondering, are you okay?

I didn't know what he meant until I remembered that the two are good friends, and that Eret had told me to eat. "Shit," I whispered. It isn't exactly ideal for your idol to figure out your disorders faster than you did. Eret had figured it out, only from a few months' worth of evidence.

Of course! Why would you worry about me, though?

Because he won't stop talking about you and it's annoying, but he figured you out.

What do you mean?

You know.

No, I'm not sure what you mean.

Y/n. This man probably knows you better than you do. He really worries about you. Go eat something.

Of course I will.

"Well, fuck." I was upset. This isn't good. Wait. 5 am. My dad isn't up yet. I can run down and get something. I quietly run out of my room and downstairs, grabbing a pop tart pack from the pantry without making any noise, and ran up to my room. I ate the pack slowly, but it made me feel like a human again. Two times. I've eaten in the past twenty four hours two times. It was more than I'd eaten in that time period that in the past four years, since I had to move in with my dad when I turned 18. I was terrible he let me eat once a day, and that was very rare. I ate the pop tart happily, sending a picture of me with the food to my best friend, Aria. She had been my best friend since high school, and she knows my situation with my dad.

OMG yessssss eat it like you eat-

ARI NO

awwww but-

N O

I giggled quietly at my friend's antics. She was similar to Tommyinnit, except she wasn't an annoying British boy. She was an American that moved to Britain for high school, and she ended up staying.

I checked who it could be, and was surprised by it.

Hey hun, are you okay?

It was Eret! He messaged me! I was quietly freaking out.

Oh, yeah!

Hun, I can tell you aren't.

Ah, you caught me

So, what's wrong?

It's just...

I asked myself, 'How do I respond?' Should I tell him the truth.

I can't really eat properly.

Tears clouded my vision, knowing that this is the second to know what's going on.

My... my "father" doesn't let me

Y/n, it's okay. We can call, if it makes you feel better.

Ah- thank you. My phone number is
***-***-****

Okay. One minute.

As I waited for him to call, I wiped my face with the sleeve of the sweatshirt I was wearing to cover the cuts on my wrists. As I saw the screen light up, I knew it was the call from the brown haired man I idolized. I answered the call, his worry obvious on his face.
"Hun, you don't have to rush it. I know what your going through. It's going to be okay."
"H-he... he hits me..."
His eyes opened in shock and worry. I realized that he would worry about me for years to come if I didn't tell him the basics.
I took a deep breath and continued.
"I had to move in with home when I turned 18. I was already underweight then, but that's because we couldn't afford enough food with my mom. That's why I had to move in with him. He has hit and starved me since, thinking that I have to be perfect. And..." here comes the hard part... "I cut."
He started to tear up.
"BUT I have been clean since January." It was late December at this point, and I was almost clean for a year.
"Well Hun, let's keep it that way. So, here's what we can do," he said after gathering his thoughts for a moment. "I checked your location and I only live a few minutes away. I can come get you tonight when he falls asleep and you can start packing now. Just pack your needs. If you have any pets, you can bring them. Just stay on call with me for now so I can make sure you're okay." He cared for me. I now realized I was closer to him faster than anyone else. I nodded my head in agreement. I went over to my closet and got my duffel bag. I got a few days' worth of clothes.
"Hey Eret, do you think we could go shopping when I get there?"
"Of course, Dear."
"Alright, thank you."
I packed a few pairs of pajamas, my favorite plush, and a few pairs of shoes, grabbing tennis shoes, platform boots, and black boots. I packed everything else I needed, and realized I still had to stream. I was my part time job, the other being at a cafe down the road from me. I packed the uniform, and grabbed another bag for my art supplies and streaming necessities. "And a new computer? This one is slow and cracked."
"Of course, Darling."
I realized I was set, and went to change into comfy clothes.
"Thank you, Alastair."
"You're welcome, Y/n."
I went and fed my cat, Oreo, and brought him into my room for Alastair to see.
"Hey Eret, this is Oreo. Say hi, Oreo!"
I waved his paw the my phone, making the brunette on the other side giggle.
