Castles crumbling (Taylor Swift's little sister)

Chapter 47

Hey!!! Long chapter ahead, but I hope you like it. It was very emotional to write. Please tell me what you think about how the story is going <3 ;).

After another three weeks you had gained another 4.5 lbs. the dietician decided that you could cut to only one supplement a day. On Wednesday you were so excited to tell Taylor and your mom about it. As always, they were just in time for when the visiting period began.

- "Mom! Tay! Hi! Guess what?"

Andrea approached to hug you and Taylor said:

- "I love when you greet us with a "guess what" it usually means good news" Taylor chuckled and hugged you.

- "It does! The dietician said that I've gained enough weight to cut one supplement from my meal plan. So, now I only need to drink one with afternoon snack, I no longer have to drink a supplement with morning snack" you said delighted.

- "That's great! You're doing so well, darling" Andrea said.

You were telling them about an artistic project you were working on in one of the group therapies when Dr. Wilson knocked on the door and showed up.

- "Hello, Mrs. and Ms. Swift. I guess that Elizabeth had already told you about the supplement news, right?" The three of you nodded and she continued: - "Well, there's something else I wanted to talk about with you"

You gulped; anxiety filled your body. Were they regretting the supplement thing?

- "Don't worry, Elizabeth. It's nothing bad. Since you've gained weight consistently, you're engaging in therapy and in group activities; we'd like to grant you a longer hospital leave. How does that sound to you? We were thinking of a leave from 9am-6pm, that way you'll be having breakfast and dinner here, but you get to eat the other three meals at home" the doctor said.

Your eyes lit up, immediately meeting Taylor's. She was so happy; she was genuinely happy for you.

- "Yes! That sounds awesome! When can we do it?" You said jumping excited.

- "If it's okay with your family, you could do it tomorrow. Hey, no working out" Dr. Wilson said signaling you to stop jumping. You immediately stopped and kept smiling. - "I'll leave you to discuss about it. You can tell me later"

Then you looked at your mother with puppy eyes. - "Tomorrow works for you?" You asked your mom.

- "It works perfectly for me. What about you Taylor?" Andrea replied.

- "Works perfectly for me too. I was having lunch with Blake and Ryan. But I'll tell them we could meet another day" Taylor said picking her phone up to text them.

- "Oh no. If you already have plans, it's fine. You don't need to reschedule your lunch because of me" you said worrying that Taylor would cancel her plans just because of your leave.

- "I'd rather spend the whole afternoon cuddling with you, than doing anything else, baby. I'm so happy to have you for a little longer" Taylor said stroking your shoulder.

- "Maybe, if it's okay with you, we could have lunch all together?" You said almost whispering. As soon as you said it, panic invaded you. You hated eating in front of anyone who was not Taylor, your mom or Tree. You were still a bit uncomfortable eating with the group in the clinic and in front of the therapists. You knew you could accept eating with Blake, since she knew about your eating disorder. But suggesting eating with Ryan, that was a whole exposition for you.

- "What?" Taylor said getting closer so she could hear you better.

- "I was saying that maybe we could have lunch with Ryan and Blake if it's okay with you, of course" you said in a soft weak voice.
