Eliza walks into the one bedroom apartment that she shares with her girlfriend and sits her work stuff down. It was unusually quiet which is odd since Maria, her girlfriend, was usually listening to comfort music at all times. "Maria?" She calls out. There's silence at first, but then she gets a response. "Bathroom.."

She frowns and quickly sprints to the bathroom to see Maria sitting against the sink cabinets with a trash can next to her. Her hair was frizzed and messy and she was still in her pajamas. Eliza crouches down and presses her hand against Maria's forehead. "Maria.."

"Don't... I'm fine.." Maria mumbles and pushes her hand away.

"Maria, no you're not. This is the third time you've gotten sick like this. Just this month!"

"I'm fine, really. I can take care of myself.."

"But you aren't! You're not taking care of yourself! You're moping and letting yourself go. You refuse to eat, drink water, even go outside. This is not okay!"

"I'm fine! I don't need you to babysit me!"

"Clearly you do since you can't take care of yourself!"

"Go away!"

"Maria!"

"Go!"

"No, listen to me dammit!" Eliza yells and Maria shrinks back. She backs away into a corner and starts to tear up. "No, no Maria I'm sorry.." Eliza lowers her voice and reaches her hand out to comfort her, only for Maria to hit it away. "No! Don't touch me James!" She cries more and covers her face.

"Don't fight, princess, it'll only make things worse."

He pinned down her wrists. She struggled and cried and kicked at him, hitting his stomach hard. He staggers back and clutches his stomach. "Dammit! You fucking whore!" He yells and slaps her. She cries more as he tightly squeezes his hands around her neck. She fights back, yelping and clawing at his hand as he kept choking her, only for her vision to blur until everything goes black.

"That's it, Princess. Don't fight back."

"Maria.." she heard her mother call.

Suddenly she's sitting in her room at her table, in between her mother and father. She holds her doll closely. Her father smiles. "Princess, I have a present for you," he says. Maria smiles and nods her head. Her father carefully places a fake tiara on her head and she giggles. "Princess Maria. The sweetest girl in the land," her mother says and kisses her cheek. Maria happily claps her hands. "Yay! Can we draw mama?"

"Of course, Princess."

Eliza softly whispered to her. "It's okay Princess. I'm here. You can come out now," she says. Maria slowly opens the closet door and peeks out at Eliza who waved to her. "Hi Princess. Are you feeling okay? You were crying," Eliza says softly. Maria slowly nods. "I- I feel a little sick, Miss.." she mumbles. "That's alright, I didn't mean to yell at you, okay? You can come out now," Eliza responds.

Maria slowly crawls out of the closet and sniffles. "You're not in trouble, Princess. Do you want me to take care of you?" Eliza asks. Maria sits in front of her and nods. "Is it okay if I pick you up?" Maria nods again. Eliza carefully picks her up and sits her down on the bed. "Do you want your doll and tiara, Princess?" Maria smiles a bit and nods. Eliza goes into one of the bedside drawers and pulls out a fake tiara and an old doll. She gives Maria the doll and fixes the tiara on her head. "There you go Princess."

Maria smiles. "Miss, c- can I have some hot chocolate?" She asks. Eliza smiles back. "Of course you can Princess. As long as you eat the soup I'm gonna make and be a good girl, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Stay right here. I will be right back. I'm gonna take good care of you," Eliza says, moving some of Maria's hair out of her face. She kisses her head and leaves the room. Maria quietly plays with her doll. Eliza goes into the kitchen and sighs to herself. I shouldn't have yelled at her. Now she's back in little space. I'll just have to take care of her for the time being. I'm such an idiot.

Eliza warms up some soup for Maria and makes a cup of hot chocolate. She walks back to their room and sees Maria playing with her doll. Maria looks at her. "Hello Miss!" she smiles.

Eliza smiles back and sits next to her. She hugs her and kisses her head. "I love you, Princess."

"I love you too Miss!"

"Perfect."
