The past few weeks have been all the same: wake up, go to school, go to the host club, go home, do homework, go to bed. Well, I use 'go to bed' loosely, because I rarely sleep. I still have a problem with sleeping and eating. However, socializing has become much easier. Thanks to the host club, I talk to many more people, although they're mostly girls. I'm also getting along better with the hosts, but Kai still does most of the talking.

I'm sitting on a couch in Music Room 3, nibbling on some cake as Honey-senpai rambles on and on about his day. I nod occasionally to show him that I'm still listening. I smile as he talks quickly and excitedly. The cake is starting to make me feel sick, so I set the plate down on the table close to me.

Honey stops the conversation short when I push the dessert away. "What's wrong, Ash-chan? Did you not like the cake?"

"N-no, it's not that. I'm just not very hungry is all," I reply with a sheepish smile on my face.

"Is that so?" I hear Kyoya ask behind me. I quickly nod my head in response.

"But I never see you eat during lunch," Haruhi thinks out loud. The twins nod their heads in agreement.

Unfortunately for me, Kai is in the restroom, so I have to figure this out on my own.

"Is my son not eating!?" Tamaki practically screams as he runs to me and squeezes the living day lights out of me.

Mori-senpai saves me from the sudden attack. He grabs me from Tamaki's deadly grip and holds me out in front of him. Then, his eyes go wide as he says three words: "You're so light."

Mori places me back on the ground, and the hosts surround me. "I suggest you tell us the truth, Alotri-san," Kyoya says sternly.

I start shaking out of fear and anxiety. Suddenly, my savior's voice rings out in the silent room, "What do you guys think you're doing?" I look up to Kai with tear-filled eyes, and I run up to hide behind him. The hosts shrink beneath Kai's menacing glare. Even Kyoya.

"W-we were just trying to figure out if my precious son is eating enough!" Tamaki stammers out.

I grab onto Kai's arm to comfort me. He leads me over to the couch where we both sit. "Ash, when was the last time you ate?" Kai asks me calmly.

"Just now, I ate some cake," I whisper.

"Before then."

I pause to think for a bit until it comes to me. "L-last week, I ate a bagel..."

"LAST WEEK?!" Everyone yells in surprise, except for Mori and Kyoya, but both of their eyes widen in shock.

I nod meekly, looking down at my feet. I know that if I see their reactions, I'll definitely cry. It was quiet for a moment, so I hesitantly look up.

I was right. Just seeing the look of sadness and pity in their eyes, my own fill with tears, and I break down immediately. I cover my face with my hands as sobs rack my body. "I'm sorry," I whisper to them, and myself, over and over again.

Not knowing how to react, the hosts all sit by me, and Kai rubs comforting circles on my back.

We spend the next half hour or so like this, but I can't seem to stop crying. I haven't cried so hard since the day my family died, and I guess everything caught up with me.

After I calmed down a bit, the hosts all try to give me some food. I shake my head. "No, if I eat, it'll all come back up. I've tried." My voice comes out quiet and broken.

"Then what do we do?" The twins ask.

"When it gets bad, I eat something small, like a bagel or something. Even then, I still can't keep it all down." I stare at the ground, avoiding their gazes.

"In other words, there's nothing much we can do?" Kyoya asks.

"There has to be something!" Kai yells out.

"We can get you help," Haruhi says calmly. "A doctor will know what to do."

"I agree, that would be best," Kyoya pulls out his phone. "I can set up an appointment with the best doctors at my family's hospitals."

I nod, but don't say anything. Tears fall silently to the ground from my red, swollen eyes. Maybe, these people can actually help me.
