"So Elizabeth..." Jimmy started to talk after they came back from commercial break. "Y/N was supposed to be here today, but she called in sick. how is she doing have you talked to her?"

"Uhh, yeah, Y/N is at home with a high fever so she couldn't make it to the interview but she's doing better now"

"I'm glad to hear that, It's been a while since i've seen her, I must say I miss her"

"Yeah me too..."

The truth was that you didn't have any fever, you just couldn't get out of bed no matter how much people tried to cheer you up.

~One week ago~

Someone knocked at my door, but I didn't bother to move a single muscle, I was on my bed covered in blankets. I haven't left my room since I talked to my sister. I didn't even bother calling her back even though I knew there are probably hundreds of messages from her.

"Hey baby" Olivia whispered softly, "Is it okay if I come in?" she asked and I just shrugged

She slowly walked and sat next to me, she looked tired, maybe because I made her sleep on the couch. I just want to be alone. I felt so bad for shutting her out, but I also came to a point where I couldn't feel anything.

"Lizzie made some pasta, do you want me to get you a plate?" I shook my head, "No, i'm not hungry"

"Baby you barely ate, if you even ate at all, please can you just eat a couple of bites? for me?"

"I said i'm not hungry Olivia" Okay this came out a little too loud for my liking, i'm just so fucking tired. I could see her glassy eyes and my heart clanched, what the fuck is wrong with me?

"Okay, I uh, I'm gonna go join Lizzie in the kitchen, we would love for you to come and eat with us, but no pressure..." her voice cracked as she tried to stop her tears. I didn't say anything so she just sniffled and got out of the room.

I'm such an asshole.

The moment the door closed I let out a sob that wrecked my whole body. I thought I could let the whole 'my parents hate me now' thing slide but I couldn't. And like an idiot I take it out on Olivia.

I was tired, I was tired of feeling this way, I just couldn't hold back anymore and sobbed into the pillow.

Lizzie and Olivia can probably hear me, but i'm far away from caring by now.

...

"She didn't want to come?" Lizzie asked

"Oh, Olivia, sweetheart what's wrong?" she looked at me with concern and rushed to hug me, cradling my head to her chest as I cried. "It's okay sweetie, i'm here" She rubbed my back soothingly

"Sorry" I mumbled as I pulled away. "You don't need to be sorry honey, is it about Y/N?"

"I just..." I sniffled, "I just can't help her, I'm trying so hard and it doesn't seem to help, she won't let me sleep with her in the same bed, she won't eat and she won't leave the room" I take in a quick breath

"I don't know what to do, I don't want her to get sick, and I just feel so useless I-" I choked on a sob

"Shhh, it's okay... deep breaths sweetheart"

We could hear Y/N sobbing and my heart broke even more. I pulled away from Lizzie so I could go to her but Lizzie stopped me.

"Livi, leave her, she needs some alone time"

"But she's crying, Lizzie this is the millionth time this week I can't take it anymore, my heart is breaking" I sobbed. "I know, I know I'm sorry honey, let's eat, and we'll check on her later okay?"
