You were going to day treatment daily, for every meal, except breakfast. But after a week of taking longer than expected eating breakfast and being caught hiding food a couple of times, your mom told the treatment center on Friday morning, and it was decided that you needed to go for every meal. You were called for a short meeting after dinner and found your mom there, you immediately knew that she told the doctors about the hiding incidents. Yet, you weren't expecting the news of having to be there for every meal. The doctor also mentioned that she was going to do an exercise to confront your body dysmorphia next week on your individual appointment with her.

As soon as you jumped into the car, you started to cry, totally crushed by the news, you cried all the way home. Andrea knew that you were upset but she was thankful that you had already eaten dinner there, because it wasn't going to be like your first months in recovery where you refused dinner if you had a difficult day at the program. She was having late dinner with some friends to celebrate a birthday, so she was just going to drop you home, go to the bathroom, pick the gift up and leave

Taylor knew that your mom was planning on speaking with the treatment center about the food hiding, but she didn't know yet the decision they made. You wiped your tears and got off the car, when you opened the door, you saw Taylor and Tree sitting down working.

- "Hey baby! How are you?" Taylor asked.

You ran to hug her and began to cry again.

- "What's going on? What happened?" The blonde questioned and your mom, who just appeared on the living room, spoke up:

- "They decided she needs to go for every meal beginning on Monday" Andrea said giving them a look, so they knew that you were very upset. Taylor and Tree nodded, understanding.

- "It's just for a little while baby, to give you the support you need" Taylor said still holding you.

- "They didn't even give me a chance" you fought back separating from Taylor.

- "You had your chance this week and you were struggling, darling" your mom said kindly.

- "You didn't have to tell them! I could've tried harder next week!" You said turning to Andrea furiously.

- "This is for the best" Andrea said approaching to kiss you, but you pulled away. She went upstairs to get the gift and go to the bathroom. You just prepared to go to your room, but Taylor stopped you, knowing that you needed some company.

- "Why don't you stay here with us for a while?" The blonde suggested.

You turned around and looked at her but before you could speak or argue, Tree intervened: - "Oh yes please, we need to catch up"

You smiled and walked back to the sofa where Tree was sitting down. Taylor went to talk with your mom upstairs and you were left with the redhead.

- "So, how's it going?" Tree asked.

You shrugged. "Fine"

- "How did you find this week?"

You began to cry again, wiping your tears away distressed. - "I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm crying"

Tree placed a warm hand on your leg.

- "It's okay sweetie, you're overwhelmed, if you want to tell me I can listen, or if you just want to cry, I can comfort you"

- "NO! You wanted to catch up not to see me cry" you responded using your cardigan to dry your tears, but they just kept coming.

- "I don't mind, we can catch up later, I think you need this..."
