Part 118

As the days passed by I went to visit Darcy on every single one of them and it felt like I watched her health get worse and worse by the day passing

I stabbed with my fork around on my plate but I didn't feel very hungry, I wanted it to be over, for Darcy to be healthy, she had suffered so much in the time I had known her and so much before that too, I couldn't stand seeing her like that and even less that there was nothing I could do, the financial help was something, but by far not enough

"Belle ? You haven't taken a single bite" I looked up at mom who was frowning at me "I thought this is your favourite ?"

"It is. I just don't feel that hungry"

"Just eat something, you didn't eat lunch either you can't go the entire day with a bowl of cereal" I looked at my plate again

"Half a bowl" Walker muttered taking a bite from his food, the thought of eating made my stomach turn, Darcy hadn't eaten anything the whole day, how could I sit here and enjoy this meal ?

"I'm really not hungry" I repeated quietly

"Just a small bite"

"I'm not hungry ! I don't want to eat ! Why are you pushing this so much ?!" I felt the tears burn up in my eyes put my fork down and stood up from the table running upstairs to my room

I had been an emotional wreck for days with no real explanation, well the whole Darcy thing had been messing with my emotions for sure

I closed the door behind me locking it and sliding down to the floor, I pulled my knees to my chest and started crying

"Belle, honey I'm sorry" I heard dad's voice, he knocked on the door but I didn't answer "Belle ?"

"Just leave me alone" I heard his footsteps move away and then a bit later someone else knocked on my door

"Belle" it was my mom this time "can you open the door please bels"

"I don't want to talk mom"

"Why not ? Something is obviously bothering you"

"Mom please, please I really don't want to talk" I was begging her my voice on the edge of breaking from the crying

"Mom give her some space" I heard Leena's voice from downstairs

"Alright, but you can talk to me. Whenever you're ready" she left too and i was left on my own, I took a few deep breaths to sooth the heavy irregular breathing and closed my eyes, i had screwed up as a daughter once again, really great Belle

I ran my hands over my hair and took in another long breath letting the air fill my lungs

I opened my eyes hearing my phone ring next to me, I reached to turn it around and let it ring out but saw the name and hesitated

Starlight 🌟❤️

I looked at my phone for a long while before picking it up and accepting the call

"I hate stupid people" I laughed a little at the sudden words

"They're the worst"

"Honestly. How are you ?" I couldn't explain it but he always called right when I was feeling the worst "I just got this urge to talk to you I don't know is everything alright ?"

"I don't know, my emotions are fucked up and I don't know why"

"Mh, I hate that"

"Yeah" we stayed silent for a few seconds "I really wish you were here"
