Chiara Daveys is living a good life in England - if you ignore her constant struggle with food, lack of a guardian and how she's constantly working to pay the bills.

I walk with Leo to my locker, where Noah and Alexsei are standing and talking.
I feel slightly dizzy, but it's nothing that I can't handle.
Everyday for the past few weeks it's been the same routine after school: get home absolutely exhausted, have a nap, walk Roland, have dinner, throw up the little bit of dinner I did eat, shower, cry a little bit out of guilt, straighten my hair and then go to sleep.
The only time that routine changes is when I go over to Leo's house, which is slowly becoming more frequent.
My brothers are aware that I've been more tired recently, they just don't know the extent of it.
For example, they are aware that I have a nap every Friday - which has always been usual for me - but they aren't aware it's become every day that I have a nap for hours.
And they are definitely not aware that I've been throwing up the food that I eat.
I open my locker silently, too tired to even speak right now.
"You okay, sorellina?" Noah asks, I can hear the concern in his voice and I swear something inside of me shrivels up.
"I'm okay," I tell him, grabbing some books for third period.
"Are you sure, Chiara?" Alexsei asks from the other side of Noah, where his locker is.
"She said she's fine," Leo huffs and pulls me back into him with a harsh grip on my waist. The quick motion makes my head swim for a couple seconds, and I think I groan accidently.
"What the fuck. Be gentle with her," Noah tells Leo harshly.
"Yeah, okay," Leo scoffs, "she's fine, so leave her alone."
"You need to fuck off, Leo," Noah steps towards the both of us, and I grab onto the bottom of his shirt.
"I don't feel well," I tell him and I try to fight off the tears in my eyes.
"Let go of her," Alexsei tells Leo whilst Noah leans down slightly to be eye-level with me.
Leo's hands stay on my waist and I can tell both Alexsei and Noah are ready to fight him.
"Guys, it's fine," I want to try to stop the fighting before it even begins as it's making my head hurt even more.
"See? She's fine, so we're going to go to chemistry," Leo leads me away from them. And I let him, trying to not grab anyone's attention in the hallway.
We head towards our seats at the end of the middle row. After we started dating, Leo had asked our teacher to let us sit next to each other.
