Chapter Four




"Derrice?" I heard Sue walk into the toilets. "Are you here?" She asked as she stood right in front of me.

"I'm just on the toilet." I lied as I flushed the toilet, I unlocked the door and walked out.


I was met by her worried eyes. "Is everything alright?" She asked.

"I'm fine.." I forced a chuckle "just taking a wee." I washed my hands and dried them.

"Are you sure?" She asked as we exited the door and walked towards the room.

"Yeah I'm sure." I smiled even though she was walking behind me.
As we entered the room Tommy stood up and walked up to me

"Is everything okay? You got us worrying" he looked me in the eyes.

He was tall and his eyes were green, his hair was brown. He has a killer of a jaw line and is just like all the teenage boys these days actually pretty damn skinny, but still a bit muscular.

"Don't worry, I just needed to go to the bathroom." I smiled at him.
I walked up to the bed and sat back down with Tommy and Sue following me.

"So.. You bought that for her?" I pointed at the huge teddy bear next to the bed, I desperately need another topic.

"yeah.. I got it on my way here." He smiled.

"How are you feeling?" Sue asked as we all turned to Anne.

She turned even paler, which I thought wasn't possible. She started playing with her patient's wrist band which actually was to big for her thin wrists, even with the bandage. She always did this when she was nervous.

"I'm.. Pretty okay." She smiled, liar.

"If you were, you wouldn't be in here." Tommy stated, I agree.

"Well.." She took a long pause which was understandable, "Every time I said I was okay, I really wasn't. And I know that we promised to tell each other everything but.. I just thought it was to small to tell you guys that, that I actually felt hurt every time someone from school called me fat, ugly, worthless and so on. I just felt that if I told you guys I'd come over as weak."

That hit me, weak. The same thing I called Bailey. God, I'm such a bad friend.

"Of course we don't find you weak. It's okay to feel this way, nothing you do or say is wrong. How you feel is not wrong either. And you are not ugly, nor fat, and definitely not worthless. We love you no matter what and it's okay to sometimes let yourself first. Thinking about others is good but thinking about yourself is better and way healthier, mentally and physically." Tommy always had a thing with words. He could cheer you up in a matter of seconds and sometimes he didn't even had to try. He is so lovable.

"You can talk to us whenever you need or want to" Sue smiled at her

"We're here for you." I grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

"Thanks you guys.. I will try to tell you from now on." She didn't look all satisfied but who could blame her, she lost like 1/5 of her blood.

"Do you want some rest?" Tommy asked

"I think I'm just gonna take a nap.." She covered herself under the blankets.

"Sleep well." I told her as I stood up from the bed.

"We'll be back in a few hours." Tommy headed to the door.

"Well, If we can visit then." I told him.

Sue opened the door as we walked out. Tommy closed the door behind him as we walked downstairs to sit in the caffe.

"You want something to eat Tommy?" Sue stood up to get something to eat.

"I'd like Starbucks.." He said.

"no food but okay.. Derrice?" She turned to me.

"Nah I got a sandwich left from our way here." I showed her the left over.

"Okay.." She walked away

"they have Starbucks here?" I leaned in and looked at Tommy.

"Yeah.. I was here yesterday too." He told me.

"Wait!" I yelled at Sue "I want Starbucks as well." She turned around


"oh-kay" she answered and continued walking.

I got back to the table finding Tommy laughing.

"You're so random." He chuckled.

I sat down and it turned quiet. After a few minutes Tommy asked me

"Are you really okay?" It kind of stung me that he started asking again.

"Yeah, I'm.. I'm fine." I smiled.

"I just don't want you to get hurt as well. Anne getting hurt was already to much."

It was quiet again which was mostly my fault since I didn't know what to tell him. I was left with the two question 1) 'Should I tell him?' 2) 'Why would I tell him?'
