SAILOR'S POV

"Taylor, I don't want you to quit music for me. This isn't my career, Tay, it's yours. If you quit for me I will literally kill myself," I say smiling.

"Don't say that Say," Taylor says, whacking my head. She kisses the top of my head. Travis comes back with yogurt and I slowly take it. I set it aside and Taylor opened it. She hands it to me and I look up at her. "Just eat a little sweets." I slowly nod but don't touch it. Tay slowly scoops a small scoop and leads it to my mouth. I glare at her with tears in my eyes. "Please." Tay whispers. I slowly open my mouth and Taylor feeds it to me. I swallow and feel the pain etch down my throat. I start to cry. My sister wraps her arms around me. "I know it hurts sweets. It'll get better."

"I can't do it," I say, starting to get up.
"You're not doing this Say," Taylor says, pushing me back down on the bed. I try to push away but Tay pins me down. I threw up all over the hospital bed.

"I'm sorry, I can't control it. I don't mean to throw up, I promise," I say. Taylor pulls me closer.

"I know sweets. You have to try though. You can get through this. I'm right here," Tay says sitting on the bed next to me.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I kept talking over her. I cry into Tay's shoulder as the blanket on my bed gets removed. I eat the rest of the yogurt, just barely keeping it down and I fall asleep on the hospital bed.

TAYLOR'S POV

"I don't know what to do Trav, she barely keeps food down. She's struggling a lot," I say to Trav.

"It's okay, Say can get better, you're here supporting her, I'm here supporting her, the doctors are supporting her, she will get better," Travis says running his fingers through my hair. I look up at him.

"I know but I hate seeing her like this," I say.

"She's going home today though, which is good," Travis says. I nod. We sit together in silence for a while before Sailor wakes up.

"Can we go home?" She asks. I nod.

"Let's go home Say," I say, taking her hand. We get in the car and drive back to my house. I take a banana out of the pantry and hand it to Sailor.

"I can't eat this," Sailor says, looking up at me. I shake my head.

"You have to eat, the doctor said you need breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner everyday," I say. Say sighs and rolls her eyes. She takes the banana but doesn't eat it. "You can have a supplement instead. Chocolate or vanilla." I say. Say starts to cry. "Sailor, you have to eat."
"I can't Tay, I can't! I'm too big!" Sailor says. I hand her a chocolate supplement and she slowly takes it. Her hands are shaking and I know she doesn't think she can do this.

"Sailor, absolutely not. You are not doing this. You are so beautiful the way you are, you are not big, you are not fat. Do not say that. You have to do this. I'm not letting you starve yourself. You know that I went through this years ago. You know how much I struggled. I don't want you to go through this too," I say. Sailor slowly nods and starts to drink the supplement. She drinks about half of it before looking up at me.

"I'm full."

"We both know that's a lie," I say, taking her hand. Sailor slowly nods and drinks the rest of it.

"Can I go to my room?" She asks.

"No, wait for at least an hour, maybe two, with me," I say. I take her hand and she lays on the couch. Travis is sitting in a chair and I move to sit on his lap. I look over onto the couch and see Say asleep.

"How is she?" Travis asks. I shrug.

"Fine for now, we both know she's going to hate us for a while," I say. Travis nods.

"Yeah, she will, at least she's resting for now," Travis says. I nod. I lay on Trav's lap and slowly fell asleep.
