Save me Mick

TW eating disorder descriptions

                                     Danni POV
"I haven't eaten in a few days" the words felt disconnected from me. Saanvi sat next to me hugging me. "Oh." Was all Michaela said. She took a breath and looked at Saanvi "how did you find out?" My voice shook as I responded to the question not caring that it was probably directed at Saanvi. "She dropped by my house one day, went to my kitchen and saw all the food was either untouched or rotten or both." "Oh okay. Lourdes doesn't know?" I shook my head. "Why?" Michaela asked and I shook my head not wanting to repeat the same thing I'd told Saanvi. Saanvi sighed "Danni? Are you gonna tell her?" I shook my head not wanting to relive the breakdown I'd had at Saanvi's house. "Can I? She needs to know." I shook my head feeling pathetic for having dragged two of my friends into this. "Okay alright" Saanvi responded and Michaela looked at me "why not?" I shook my head but responded in a horse whisper "it's stupid" "what is?" Michaela asked "why." I said quietly "alright we can leave it alone for right now. What do you say I go and pick up some Ensures or something like that and bring them back by your house tomorrow and you try and drink them then?" "I have work. After work." I said hoping the conversation would end soon. "What time do you get off?" Michaela asked "um I think 6 or 7 PM if I'm lucky and things don't run overtime" I spoke checking my phone calendar seeing I had a text from Drea. A case. Ugh. "I um have to head in early guys. Drea said we got a case so I gotta go. You two can go home" I wiped the tears off my face and walked over to the small mirror I had in my house entry way. Looking at myself in the mirror I desperately tried to tame my hair and make myself look moderately put together. As I was walking out both Saanvi and Michaela caught the door, the women leaving my house. Driving to the precinct was quick and easy, Drea kept staring at me awkwardly as we worked on the case before I finally said something. "What? Your staring at me Drea." I laughed a little at the end before she pointed out something I hoped no one would notice. "You look like you've been crying" "I haven't been Mikami. Leave it be" I snapped suddenly getting angry. Drea let it be as we interviewed the suspects and did the typically line up. "12:30" Drea said randomly. "Huh?" "12:30 AM. The time. We've been here for almost 7 hours." "Mhm. We can go home and finish this stuff tomorrow." "Alright then see you bright and early tomorrow" "oh and Mikami? Look, I don't know what reason you think that I was supposedly crying for but just leave it alone would ya? Forget about it please" I spoke as we each walked to our cars. She nodded and drove off, me following soon after.

Hey! I've literally been working on this since close to after the last update came out😂 I really took a while. Do you guys want Drea figuring it out or no? And also how should Lourdes find out?
