Carlos pov:
I knew that Evie threw up earlier, most likely that the apple came back out again.
She pretend she was fine but I knew she wasn't.
Mal, Jay and Ben didn't know. Neither did any other AK.
Ben looked at Evie.
"Can you get Mal?"
"Yes of course." she said.
She walked away with a smile but I was worried.
The apple was all she had eated today and it was already noon. Plus, the apple was out again.

"Hey Carlos." Jay said as he walked to me.
I saw Evie and Mal talking a bit furhter on and I turned to Jay.
"What the hell am I supposed to do?!" I sissed.
"Eh... about...?" Jay asked, being shocked by my reaction.
"I-"
'Carlos please, don't tell anyone. Especially not Mal and Jay!' Evie's words busted through my mind.
"I... want to prepare something nice for Evie." I quickly said.
It wasn't a complete lie but kinda was... Well no, but it wasn't what I was planning to say.
Jay chuckled.
"You can even make Evie smile by giving her dead flowers. I'm sure you can figure it out on your own buddy." Jay said and I sighed.
"You're probably right..."
"Mal, come here for a minute." Ben said and Evie walked to us as Mal walked to Ben.
"What is all this?" Mal asked him and Evie's hand slid in mine.
I looked at our hands as Ben did his whole 'Did I mention' reprise thingy.
How can a girl like Evie think she has to eat less to be pretty when she's already perfect?
"Will you be my queen? Will you marry me?" Ben asked and Mal nodded.
"Yes!" she said with a smile and Evie grabbed her head.
"You okay?" I whispered.
"Y- yea... it's just a bit crowded..."

The two of us sat down somewhere less crowded and I grabbed into my bag.
"Here, I brought you some food." I said and handed it to Evie.
She looked at me and shoke her head.
"No Carlos, I can't eat... I'm almost throwing up from the thought alone."
"Evie please, it's just a nut-bar." I said and handed it to her.
"No- Carlos..." Evie whined and I sighed.
"Please, even if it's just one bite. You got to eat something..." I said softly.
"Carlos stop, I'm going to be sick..."
"Please... Ev, just one bite... Okay?"
Evie looked at me with tears in her eyes and I looked at her.
"If not for yourself then do it for me... Or at least try..." I said and Evie gagged at least twice before she swallowed a bite.
