*Teagan's P.O.V*


It's almost been a week since I arrived at the Eating Disorder Clinic. Honestly, it's not as terrible as I thought it would be, but I would much rather be at home. I get my own room, which is nice, and I can now handle yoghurts and most drinks. I still can't keep solid foods down for long, though. My body just needs to get used to eating normally again; that's what my dietitian tells me. Most of the 'meals' I've had so far are these special high calorie, nutritional drinks that are supposed to help me gain weight. Whenever I'm given anything, one of the nurses has to monitor me to make sure I eat/drink and has to stay for a while after I've finished, to give the food/drink a chance to digest so I can't throw it up afterwards.


I'd just finished in the shower and was now getting dressed in a grey t-shirt that said 'Awkward is My Speciality' in bold black writing, black leggings, a turquoise Superdry hoodie and black Converse. After drying my hair, I threw it into a ponytail, before going into the bathroom I shared with all the other adolescent girls to brush my teeth.

Once I'd finished getting myself ready for the day, I made my way to group therapy. I have two therapy sessions a day; group therapy at 8:30 in the morning, so I have to be up by 8:00 at the latest and one-to-one therapy at 6:00 in the evening. The rest of the day is spent doing activities and sometimes having visiting sessions, if I have any visitors, that is. Mum and Aaron have visited at every chance they've gotten so far, and they bring Sabrina every single time. Liv comes with them sometimes as well. Belle's also visited. Jacob hasn't visited me yet, though. I know we broke up, and he's mad at me (and he has every right to be), but I did kind of hope he would still care enough to visit me, even if it's only for half an hour or so. I'm trying not to let it get me down, though. And besides, I haven't even been here a whole week yet, so he could visit me in the future. I hope...


After group therapy, I went back to my room for a while, before going to do some activities. After that, I went back to my room, as I'd been with people all day and I just wanted a few minutes to myself before my one-to-one therapy. My alone time was cut short, however, when the door opened.


"You have a visitor, Teagan." One of the nurses smiled sweetly at me. I was expecting Mum or Aaron to walk in, but to my surprise, it was Priya.


"Hey, Teagan." Priya smiled brightly at me, sitting next to me on the bed.


"Hi, um, I don't mean to sound rude, but... What are you doing here?" I tried to ask as politely as possible. It's not that I didn't want her here, I just wasn't really expecting her to visit. I mean, we're good friends, but we're not really that close.
