Graces pov-
Dixie and the doctor went outside a while ago and now I am left in a room with my thoughts. It was killing me ugh. A few minutes later Dixie walks back in with Noah
Ehh what are you doing here
D- he just came to help
Help with what
N- don't worry
He hugs me
How can I not be worried. Can we please leave now
D- not just yet
Why not
D- Grace please
What you think this is hard for you we are talking about what is going to happen to me so tell me what's happening
They don't respond and we sit in silence for a few minutes then a new doctor comes in
Doc- hey Grace damelio
D- yeah
She indicates to me
Doc- hi Grace
H-hi
Doc- so I am a different type of doctor
Ok
Doc- I am a nutritionist
What
Doc- you are extremely underweight it is becoming deathly
Umm n-no
Doc- so we are going to have to place a feeding tube and get you on a diet that will help you
Before I could process doctors were walking in
N-no what are you doing no please stop I am sorry
Doc- sweetie it's not your fault
I was screaming there were two other doctors and one was holding the tube and the other was just there for assistance. They were holding restraints which freaked me out so I jumped off the bed and went into the corner as I knew I wasnt going to be able to get out off the room
Doc- ok so we are going to have to either use restraints or you guys are going to have to hold her down
D- we will hold her
Doc- ok
D- hey Grace I promise it will be ok
Please no please Dixie I am begging
I am balling my eyes out sobbing
N- your ok kiddo we will be with you the whole time
Doc- hey guys sorry to rush yous but we need to hurry up a little bit
D- yeah ok
N- your ok I promise
He picks me up and I am screaming and kicking I knew this was hard for them as well as Dixie had tears in her eyes and Noah was just a lot different then usual
NOOOO PLEASE PLEASE ILL EAT PLEASE
Noah places me on the bed flat and he restrains my arms and legs while Dixie is stroking my hair as the other doctor was holding my head
Doc- ok we are going to start now
They start to out the tube down my nose
OWW OWW PLEASE STOP STOP PLEASE IT HURTS OWWW PLEASE STOPPPPP STOPP NOAH MAKE IT STOP
N- your ok breathe please your ok

Noah's pov-
She was screaming her head off I felt awful holding her down as she was obviously in pain
G- NOAH HELP HELP ME PLEASE
I felt helpless and just tried to comfort her
G- DIXIE PLEASE PLEASE
D- your ok I am right here
G-MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP OWWW

Graces pov-
Doc- ok all done
I immediately turn my head and Burry it in Noah's chest. That was the most awful thing I have ever experienced it hurt so bad
Doc- ok so her is her meal plan and there is so extra tubes and how to place them
D- o-ok thank you
Doc- you are free to leave
All the doctors left. I just sobbed into Noah's chest and then Dixie started rubbing my back
G- N-no don't t-touch M-e this is your f-fault
I say in between sobs
D- w-what
N- let's just get out of here
D- y-yeah
Noah carried me out and I kept my face hidden the whole time. He placed me in the car and I put my hood up and hid my face

Noah pov-
I knew what Grace had said to Dixie hurt her a lot cus she was just trying to help her so I reached out my hand and held. Grace had fallen asleep at this point
It's ok bub she didn't mean it
D- hmm
Dixie was crying a bit but I wasn't really sure how to comfort her at this point
We arrive back at I decide to wake up grace cus she won't be able to sleep tonight if she sleeps to long now
Grace
I shake her lightly
Come on you need to wake up or won't sleep tonight
She doesn't say anything but she gets up but keeps her head down

Graces pov-
I got out the car and kept my head down I don't want to look at anyone. I am so embarrassed I can't believe it got to this point. I go inside and start to go upstairs but charli was back and told me to come sit down with her I debated but just went and sat down
C- how was it
F-fine
C- what did they do
I didn't answer I didn't want to say it then Noah and Dixie came over
C- what happened
N- char they gave grace a feeding tube
C- oh
You could tell she was shocked but didn't want me to think much about it
N- she will be fine though
C- y-yeah
N- how about we watch a film
D- yeah
Dixie stood up and sat next to me I was pissed at her though this is technically her fault for telling people so I stood up and went to the other side of the couch
D- please grace
I don't respond I knew this hurt her but it physically hurt me when they shoved a tube down my nose
N- come here
I went over and he put me on his lap
N- you know no matter what we all still love you
I keep my head down and nod
N- you know you are still so pretty
I have tears dripping down my face
N- no matter what
He puts it fingers under my chin and lightly pushes my head up
No don't look at me
I quickly put my head down and run to my room hoping no one saw me. I sat in my room and then it was six o'clock
C- dinner grace
What was the point of eating if they have this I don't respond so charli comes to my room I keep my head under the covers
C- please grace
Just leave me alone
C- you need to eat
Why
C- so you can get the tube out
What's the point anymore
C- you got to keep going
I don't want to just go
C- Dixie or Noah are going to come up
Not Dixie
C- why
This is her fault
C- you and I both know that's not true
It is she told everyone
C- and you should be glad she did
So you are on her side
C- I am not on anyones side
Please go
C- ok I love you
Mhm
She leaves

Charlis pov-
I left I knew she was mad at Dixie and I did it want her to be made at me as well so I just left
She is pissed at you Dixie
D- I know
N- is she coming down
No I don't think so
N- ok I will go speak to her and take some food up for her
D- thank you Noah I appreciate it so much

Noah's pov-
I grab the food and walk upstairs then I knock on her door
Grace can I come in
She doesn't answer so I just go in she was underneath the covers so I go and sit next to her
Are you ok
G-mhm
I know your not talk to me what's up
G- what's up is I have a massive tube down my nose
Ik it's ok
I stroke her hair
And you know as soon as you get better you can get it out
G- I don't want to get better
Why not
G- there's no point
Don't say that you have so much worth you just can't see it and everyone else can you just need to start thinking and seeing from everyone else's perspective
G- I'll try
Do you want something to eat
G- not right now
Ok well I am going to have to hook your tube up to this liquid food
G- please dont

G- n-no
I'll stay with you the whole time

Graces pov-
I was so tired from the day i didn't want to fight anymore
O-ok you promise
N- the whole time
I don't look at him but he gets the end of the tube an connects it to the food and it starts going into me. I start crying cus I don't want it
P-please stop
N- I promise you are ok
He pulls me into him and I put my head on his chest sobbing
I don't want it
N- Ik
He is stroking my hair
Noah
N- yeah
I am sorry
N- for what
All of this
N- I promise it's not your fault
It is if I hadn't stopped eating
