Castles crumbling (Taylor Swift's little sister)

It's nice to have a friend (part 4) (final)

You ate a bagel with ham and cheese with Taylor and Tree encouraging you, then they played a board game with you until you were less anxious. Tree had to leave so you walked her to the door, she gave you a tight hug, then said:

- "I love you, Lizzie. You can do this, okay? A relapse doesn't define you; it doesn't mean you've failed. You're not a disappointment, you're so strong and I believe in you"

- "Thanks Tree. I love you too. It's hard to believe it, but I'll try my best. Really" you said before she walked to her car, and you close the door.

Taylor held your hand while you talked to your mom and told her everything that had been happening.

- "Thank you for being honest, darling. I know it takes a lot of courage to do it. I already booked an appointment with your doctor, it is tomorrow at 10am and I'll ring the treatment center tomorrow, first thing in the morning. We are here to support you, I'm not mad or disappointed, just very worried. I want you to be okay sweetie" Andrea said as you cried, and you hugged her.

- "If it's tomorrow at 10am..., is she not going to school?" Taylor asked.

- "Oh yeah... I'm sorry Lizzie, I know that you hate being absent, but your doctor said that 1) she had no free appointments until next week's Friday and 2) it's really important that you go as soon as possible. Maybe I can drop you off after the appointment, but I don't know if it's worth it" your mom said.

- "No, it's fine. I can just not go tomorrow to school" you replied almost relived that you didn't have to go to school, it was torture starving yourself and not being close to your friends. Deep down you were glad you were getting help, you were exhausted.

- "Okay. Then I'll do what I just said. I'll prep dinner while you stay in here" Andrea said, and you nodded. Taylor said she will help her with dinner, and they left you in the living room on your phone. When they were in the kitchen Taylor whispered: - "She has never been so cool about missing school. She must be having a hard time with everything that happened with Lou and Erin"

- "You're right. Let's see what the doctor says, what's the best option right now so we can get her healthy again" Andrea said, and Taylor nodded.

The next day Taylor had to wake you up at 8:30am, since you were not going to school you didn't set your alarm, and you were so exhausted that you would've just kept sleeping until probably midday if no one had woken you up. You looked yourself in the mirror when you went to pee and saw that you had a red spot on the white of your left eye and a bigger stain on your right. You were not in pain, so you didn't panic much, but it was definitely weird, you came downstairs almost screaming:

- "There's something wrong with my eyes" You noticed your mom and Taylor showered and dressed "Woah, you're so ready. Good morning" you said yawning.

- "Good morning, darling. How did you sleep? What about your eyes? Let me see, come here" Andrea said placing your breakfast on the dining table.

- "So good. I would've kept sleeping, though" you said walking to the kitchen and approaching your mom.

- "I'm pretty sure you would've" Taylor said laughing and standing up to take a look to your eyes.

They both were shocked at your eyes, the right mostly.

- "Are you in pain? Does it bother you? Can you see?" Andrea asked in panic.

- "I'm not in pain and I see just fine. I didn't even feel it, I just looked myself in the mirror when I went to pee and saw it" you replied as your mom kept turning your head over and over to get a good look of your eyes.

- "Did you hit yourself with something?" Taylor asked looking at your eyes too.

- "Nope. I went to sleep, and I was fine" you replied now worried too.
