Starved (A Zendaya and Val fic)

Rehearsals

Val's POV

I leaned against the wall waiting for Zendaya to come to in to rehearsals.

I thought about what had happened a couple of nights ago. Zendaya had acted so strange. She had been a lot lately.

As I drifted into my thoughts, Zendaya prances into the room.

I looked up and smiled, but after I studied her closer I had to work to keep it on my face.

She was so thin, her hip bones sticking out on the sides. She walked unsteadily on her usually strong legs that were now thin and frail.

I could see the dark circles under her eyes that she tried to cover with makeup.

What was wrong with her?

Zendayas POV

"Hey val!" I yelled, but my excitement weakened as I saw his worried glance.

He finally smiled back, clapped his hands, and said,"Are you ready to dance Dayachka?"

"Of course!" I said.

*About 30 minutes later*

I fell again.

I sigh and hop back up again. I don't know what's wrong with me. My legs don't feel very strong.

"You ok Z?" Val asks, lightly touching my arm.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just a little clumsy," I said with a giggle.

He shot me another worried look and started the music over.

I danced with all I had, but then I got this dizzy feeling. I stumbled over my feet.

I hit the floor- hard.

My head crashed against the wood flooring.

I felt Val slide in next to me.

"Zendaya! Oh, are you alright?" He asked as he squeezed me.

I squinted my eyes from the pounding in my head.

"Yeah. I just- I just think that we should stop rehearsals today."

"Um yeah. Sure," he said as he helped me up.

*A Few Moments Later*

Val pulled me into a hug before leading me out to my car. He opened the door and after I slid in he gently closed it.

He leaned his head through the window and kissed me.

"I love you," he whispered. I said it back.

He smiled and walked to his car.

I couldn't imagine that he would love someone as ugly as me.
