It's been a week and I'm slowly making improvements. Jarvis is worried that much anymore and Ashton has helped me a lot.

I can finally walk a little bit but it's still taking a long time. Calum and Lexi haven't returned and I think I'm okay with that.

Ashton grabs my hand and I smile as we take another step. I make it 5 more steps and Jarvis makes a cheering sound.

"I did it!" I smile and Ash hugs me gently. I smile and look down. I'm not all bones. I'm getting healthier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a few more weeks and my body is getting toned. I can eat by myself and I can walk a long way now.

Dani and Vic are so happy and we even have game nights together. Ash of course is living at the castle.

I wanted him to live here and he wanted to, so now he sleeps in my room with me.

Jarvis still plays my favorite songs and Ash sings them to me. He has a really good voice.

I'm working on getting over Calum and I think I'm doing it. I heard the incident with Vic and Lexi.

Vic wouldn't do that, Lexi made it up. Vic wouldn't do it. I don't say anything.

Now it's Vic, Me, Ashton and Dani who go up to the roof and stare at the stars. We have midnight snacks and inside jokes.

It feels good not to worry, it feels good to finally have fun.

I smile as Dani starts drawing. It's family game night. It consists of Dani, Maria, Ashton and me.

"A duck," Maria says

"A flamingo," I yell and Dani laughs as she runs out of time.

"It was an ostrich," she says smiling and I laugh as I kiss her nose. I'm getting over Lexi. I'm getting over her. Slowly but surely.

Ashton goes up to draw and then father comes in. Who's behind him? Lexi and Calum.

I immediately put an arm around Dani and Ashton goes over to Maria and pulls her into him.

"Oh so that's where he went," Lexi says and looks at me and rolls her eyes. Well excuse you.

"What do you want Monica," Ashton says and Lexi opens her mouth gasping.

"How dare you call me that," she says and I stay silent and I put my head in Dani's neck. She rubs my back and I hug her body close.
