Meeting the Millers

|34| S.O.S

Just because you recover from something, it doesn't mean that there aren't any bad days. The fear is still there eating inside of you, I'm not gonna lie and say that I'm not scared of putting on weight because I am.

I missed school today because of my doctors appointment with dr Gomez, it's kind of like a monthly check in. Anyway whenever I had these appointments with aunt Camila I'd dread it so fucking much, they ruined my day.

Dad and I are currently on our way home from todays appointment, I lift up my hood as I look out of the window. "You gained five pounds this week mi hija, I'm proud of you" He says softly

Yeah well I'm not

Later on I got home and dad left for work, he told me there were leftovers in the fridge but I can't be bothered to get up. I stayed on the couch scrolling through my phone until it started to ring, I sigh as I sit up. "Hey"

"Hey, June told me you had an appointment today" Carter says

"I did"

"How was it?"

I pick at my nails, "In my eyes or in my dads eyes?"

"Yours"

"It was horrible"

"Why?"

"I gained five pounds this week"

"That's good C, you're doing better" He says softly

"Hm"

"Not Hm, you're fucking beautiful and you know it"

I smile a little, "Thanks"

"Your welcome. You coming to mine later?"

"Yeah around six"

"Alright i'll see you then" Carter replies

"Later" I end the call before lying back

I should probably look for something to wear now

-LOLA-
"Are you sure?" Stacey frowns

"My family aren't here" I assure her as she closes the front door

She still looked a little unconvinced until I took her hand and led her up the stairs. Staceys been over once, when none of my family were here. I hate having to do this and I still don't understand why'd she want to be with me even after all this shit, but like she said before 'If I have to keep it a secret then for you I will'

I melted when she said that

We hear a voice come from one of the bedrooms, "Yeah the twins are coming but I'm going with Carter"

Stacey widens her eyes, "It's only Carmen" I whisper

I open the door a little, confused as to how my older sister is even home right now. She's standing in front of her bed with her hair tied into a messy bun and a green face mask on. I can tell she's been here for awhile by the fact that she's got a sports bra on with some cycling shorts. She has her phone in hand, "I put on five pounds so I don't even know if these'll fit"

"I'm sure they will" I hear Sienna reply on loud speaker, Stacey bites the inside of her cheek as I open the door fully. My sister turns back before raising her eyebrows with surprise

"Si let me call you back" Carmen ends the call before tossing her phone aside

She then scoffs at me, "Well it's about time Lola"

Stacey frowns

I look back, "Stace this is Carmen.... She kind of knows"

She nods slowly
