STEVIE STARTED feeling worse throughout the week. Physically and mentally. Chris had gone home on Wednesday for a video and hadn't returned. She turned to the edge of the bed and sat up.

She couldn't eat, and even if she did, she would throw up more than she ate. Its been a whole week since she got sick and she lost 20 pounds already. She started to develope a quick eating disorder.

She had to shower though. She got up and grabbed clothes. She was sweaty and sticky from the sweat. She grabbed shorts and a plain white shirt. A hoodie, and undergarments. She walked into the bathroom and started the warm water.

She couldn't stand for too long, she  started a bath instead of a shower. Stevie couldn't help but start crying. She was starving but couldn't eat. As she waited for the water to warm up, she went downstairs and got food.

She went back up to the bathroom and plugged the drain. Stevie tried to eat. She ate the food and swallowed it. She instantly went to the toilet and threw it up. "Fuck man." She whispered to herself. 

Stevie undressed and got into the bath. It had filled up with warm water and bubbles, clearing her nose for the first time in forever. Her eyes closed as she sank down, the water touching her chin.

She heard a knock at the bathroom door. "Are you okay, babe?" Chris said, sweetly. She both sighed and nodded, "Yeah, but I just threw up so I'm in the bath." "Are you covered?" He asked, "Yeah."

Chris opened the door and set down a bag on the counter. "I got you something." He smiled, and turned around toward her, as she slipped under more.

"What is it?" She questioned, smiling. He pulled out a bear. "I'll go put this in your room, and we can cuddle and watch TV after your done." Stevie nodded and Chris walked out with the bag.

Stevie got out of the tub, and noticed something on her counter. This is where $h is mentioned, so please skip if uncomfy, stay safe <3

Stevie looked at it closely, her eyes fixated on the bl@de. It already had dried up blood on it. She turned her head. Maybe it fell out of his bag. His.

She began to panic. Was Chris cutting himself? Why was it in his bag? She kept asking herself different questions. She quickly got dressed and called Matt.

"Matt." She said, her eyes tearing up. "I'm a terrible girlfriend." She said, and he fixed his phone. "What happened?" He asked, concerned.

She switched to FaceTime. "I think your brother cuts himself." Matt stayed silent. "Why do you think that?"

"I just found a blade with dry blood on it, and it fell out of his bag. So it's either he does that, or he hurt someone else." Stevie said as she put her hoodie on.

"Ask him about it, I'm sure he'll tell you." Matt said, trying to stay calm. "Okay, I'll text you later. Bye, love you." She hung up and grabbed the blade, walking into her room.

"Chris, we need to talk." She said, causing him to jump. "Geez, don't do that to me." He quickly put back on his hoodie.

She put the blade on the bed. "Chris.." Her voice was light and began to break. He looked at her shockingly. "Why didn't you tell me..?" She grabbed the blade and put in on her night stand.

She sat next to him, tears in her eyes. "I was going to tell you, but you were sick, and it was just a heat of the moment thing."

"Why was it in your bag?" She asked, wiping her eyes. "I left it on the floor of the car and didn't want Matt nor Nick to see it, so I grabbed it quickly."

Stevie lunged at him, wrapping his in her warm embrace. "Dont think that Judy because I'm sick me and I don't care." She kissed his cheek.

He began to cry, "You didn't tell them, right?" He asked, and she nodded. "No, I didn't. You're secrets safe with me as long as you dont ever do it again.' She wiped his tears.

He nodded and Stevie kissed his cheek again.

For the rest of the night, Stevie and Chris hung out. She texted Matt that everything was alright.
