Helping Nicole

WARNING: MENTIONS OF SELF HARM AND EATING DISORDER

Nicole's POV

I really wasn't feeling filming today...I felt terrible...my head was all over the place...I was thankful that the scene I was filming today with Melissa and Chyler was with me in my Dreamer suit, thankfully that meant my arms were covered up. I did have to have the suit adjusted as I had started to lose weight...No one noticed so that was good.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Chyler and Melissa approaching me, both smiling at me. I plastered a smile on my face, hoping it was convincing. Melissa pulled me into a hug, I froze but quickly started to relax. She pulled away and smiled. "Hey Nicole, you ready for filming?" I nodded. "Yeah, more than ready."

Chyler rested her hand on my arm. "Great! Wanna get some food with us after." I felt sick at the thought... "Oh...I promised a friend I'd meet them for lunch after, maybe next time?" I looked at both Chyler and Melissa, hoping I was convincing. They shared a look but nodded.

I sighed in relief when we was called to get in position.

"ACTION!"

*Start of scene in third person.*

Kara, Alex and Nia ran into the DEO to see destruction ensuing before their eyes. Kara looked at Alex and Nia and quickly jumped into action. Alex ran after Kara to help. Nia stepped forward...but stumbled and staggered backwards?

"CUT!"

*End of scene.*

Nicole's POV

I felt light headed and hot...I staggered backwards, I grabbed the table next to me to help steady me. Melissa and Chyler came running over. Melissa put a hand on my shoulder. "Nicole...Are you okay?" I blinked rapidly before meeting their eyes. "Yeah...I'm fine..."

I felt tears brimming and threatening to fall. I stepped away from Chyler and Melissa and ran out of the room. I ran to the bathroom, ran in and went into a stall, locking it behind me. I fell to the floor and cried.

I grabbed the blade I kept hidden and rolled the sleeve of my suit up to reveal my arm that was covered in cuts, some old some new. I put the blade to my skin and dragged it over the skin, sighing at the sting. I looked down to see blood trickling down my arm and onto the floor.

I didn't even hear anyone come into the bathroom. I jumped when I heard someone knocking on the door. "Nicole it's us...can you open the door..." I sighed at the sound of Melissa's voice.

Chyler spoke up next. "Nicole! I swear to god! If you don't open this door right now I'm going to kick it in!"

I sighed, knowing Chyler would do it. I quickly cleaned up the blood that was on the floor and covered my arms again. I flushed the toilet and opened the door, stepping back so that they could both come in.

Once inside the stall they locked it and pulled me into their arms. When I pulled back they both looked at me worriedly. Chyler moved some hair out of my face. "What's going on Nicole?" I shook my head. "Nothing, I'm fine..."

Melissa frowned. "Nicole, you're not fine...You looked like you was going to pass out back on set...and...you look like you're losing weight...I'm worried."

I suddenly became defensive. "Well don't worry! Okay?! I'm fine!" I tried to walk past them but Chyler grabbed my wrist, causing me to hiss and yank my arm out of her grasp.

Melissa and Chyler both shared a look before looking back to me. Melissa stepped closer to me. "What's wrong with your wrist?"

I went pale... "Nothing...I'm fine...I...I...I..." Chyler quickly gathered me in her arms and started stroking my hair. My legs started to buckle so she gently guided us to the floor so that I didn't fall. I felt Melissa on my other side, wrapping her arms around both me and Chyler.

"Nicole, it's okay..." I looked at both of them and pushed gently, indicating for them to let go, which they did. I sighed and pulled up my sleeve, which was now covered in blood. The cut had stopped bleeding.

I heard them both gasp and I cringed. I looked up at them and they looked like they wanted to cry. Chyler stroked my hair, while Melissa pulled me back into her side. "Oh Nicole...."

I started crying again. "I'm so sorry...Thing's have just been so hard lately...and that's the only thing that helps..."

Melissa rubbed my arms, being careful of my wrists. "Is that the only thing you do?"

I shook my head, there wasn't any point in lying. "I've been skipping meals...for a while now..."

Chyler sighed. "We knew something wasn't right..."

I pouted. "I'm sorry! Oh my god! I'm going to get fired!"

Melissa shook her head. "Hey, you're not going to get fired, we'll help you, we'll get you help and we'll be here for you every step of the way. We love you Nicole. We're a family and family support one another. And don't apologise, you have nothing to apologise for, there coping strategies, yes they aren't good ones...But they're strategies."

Chyler nodded. "Nicole, can you do something for us?" I nodded waiting for Chyler to continue. "Talk to us whenever you feel like hurting yourself...No matter what time it is...No matter if we've been filming all day and have to be up early...You talk to one of us...Call, text anything, just come to us, we won't ever judge you."

I sighed but nodded. I could do that. Melissa pulled me against her again. "And, I want you to have meals with me."

I turned to argue but she shook her head. "No Nicole, You mean a lot to me, it'll make me feel a lot better, I'm not saying you have to eat loads, just little bits with me. I love you Nicole, we just want to help you."

I sighed and wiped my eyes. "Okay...I promise...You won't leave me right guys?"

Chyler and Melissa both shook their head. Melissa kissed my head. "Of course not, we're gonna support you every step of the way." Chyler smiled. "Always..."
