Nash's Pov:

Here I was scared to death, not knowing what to say or do. I know some people are just flat out 106 pounds and its healthy for them. But she use to weight even less when it was really bad. It kinda like came back out of no where in my opinion. We went back into the den and I took her laptop from her room on the way.

I typed in the search bar overweight people.

"Em, look at this." I told her.

"Nash, that's not even funny." She said.

"I'm not trying to be funny." I sighed. "This is what overweight people look like." He told me. "Looking at this, do you think your anywhere near their universe of weight?" I asked her.

"No, but I'm not even that thin to begin with, so what's the point if I loose a few pounds." She said.

"Em, no. That's not eve--- how can you think that?" I asked her. "Being thin is being able to wear a bikini and look hot and, it's being able to wear whatever you want." I told her. Damn she did both those things. "I think I just defined you." She blushed again.

"See! If I gain weight, I'm letting you down!" She told me.

"You could never ever let me down ever and certainly not about weight." I thought for a second. "Didn't you know Drake likes his girls bbw?" I laughed a little.

"And, Drake makes good music but those damn eyebrows." She said. I couldn't help but laugh.

"You already have as close to a natural thigh gap as your gonna get and its not like your just bone either." I said.

"I don't wanna talk about it anymore." She said laying her head down on my chest. She looked tired.

"Nash?" She asked.

"Mmhmm." I murmured.

"Please don't tell my dad what's going on." She said.

"Em." I said. How could I let her suffer with no help.

"Please. If you tell him, he's gonna send me home early." She said. I had never thought of that.

"Em, your health is the most important thing here."

"But I don't wanna leave you." She told me.

"I have to tell someone." I said.

"Nash, come on, I promise I won't buy anymore pills and I'll eat 3 meals a day." She told me and looked up at me fake smiling.

"I have to tell someone. I'll talk to Sarah about it in the morning." I told her. She sighed. I wasn't gonna tell Sarah, I was gonna tell her brother Josh. Despite his hatred towards me, he will definitely be Em's best bet. From what I know he'll be home in a few days. So I have to keep my eye on her until then. I kissed her cheek and clenched the remote in my hands.

I sensed Emily's dad come in angrily staring at me and Em for a while sleeping there on his sofa but he said nothing. I heard him sigh and walk off. I normally would've slept terribly on a couch but not so much with Emily here. It was just good to know she was safe as of now. I didn't have to be back on set for another two days so that was good. My thoughts were overwhelming me, eventually I was able to shut them out and go to sleep.

The next morning, I woke Emily up at like 9am.

"Mm." She mumbled as I laid kisses across her face. "Stop." She said laughing a bit. She sat up and removed the blanket off of us. "Why'd you wake me up?" She asked.

"Because, we're gonna go get breakfast, and then we're gonna go to mass." I told her. I secretly loved planning things, but I'd never tell anyone that. She tucked a piece of her brown hair behind her ear.

"I don't really-" she started.

"Get dressed." I said and got up behind her as she jumped over the sofa. Her dad came out of his room dressed ready for his workig day. Who works on a Sunday? Him.

"So. Nash I see you spent the night." He said in a not pleased tone.

"I- uh." He cut me off.

"This is not going to become a habit. You live a few floors away." He said. I nodded.

She fell back on her bed once reaching her room.

"Come on." I told her. "I still have to get clothes too." I eventually decided to rummage through her dresser to pick her out an outfit myself. I picked one out and handed it to her.

"Nash, I'm not wearing that." She said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because those are ugly as fuck." She said. I laughed at her ignorance.

"Um you bought them." I said.

"So. I buy everything." She said and I laughed as she got up to pick out her own clothes.

She waited in my living room for me to get my clothes out of my room. Once I was dressed, we were off to the diner.

I ordered for the both of us, I know she loves milkshakes so that was obviously a part of it and a short stack of pancakes. We talked for a while and happily remained in each others presence.
