A/N: This is dedicated to the lovely @AlyssaSchumaker. I've never been to Maryland. Is it cool? Lol.

Lacy

Die.

My mind screams at me. I look down at my wrists and notice they're bleeding. I pick off the rest of the scab and watch as blood slides down my arm. I look up as the door opens, trying to hide my wrist from dad.

"We're back. How did you sleep?" he asks, sitting down beside me. Before I can answer, he spots a red spot on the covers I'm hiding my wrist under.

"What did you do?" he quietly asks, moving the cover and looking at my wrist. A frown forms on his lips as he sees all the stitches and scabs are gone.

"I'm going to get a doctor." he says, standing up and walking outside. When he's back, the cover has a semi big red spot on it and the doctor has a needle and thread. He takes the blanket, grabbing my arm and rubbing some kind of brownish liquid in it. He quickly stitches up my arm again and cleans up the blood. The bleeding had stopped before he got here.

I'm numb to anything and everything. I can't feel love, sadness, madness, nothing at all. I don't care about anything anymore. I can't do anything anymore without fucking up. I just physically can't.

Third person

Vic looks at his daughter, watching as her eyes grow sad looking. This happens every few minutes, she'll look sad for so long and be happy for a few minutes before going back to depressed.

Her head is laying back, her eyes stuck on the wall as thoughts race through her mind. She can't help but to tell herself she should be dead. She shouldn't be alive. No no. She should be six feet under the ground by now. Not here laying in a hospital bed with a disappointed father.

Vic looks to Lacy, shaking his head to himself. "She's supposed to be happy. How did I miss this?" Vic asks himself. Lacy looks up at Vic and sighs.

"C-Can I have a cup of water?" she croaks out, her throat still dry. She had gotten the breathing tube out yesterday and her throat hurt like hell.

"Of course." Vic says, standing up and grabbing a Styrofoam cup. He fills it with crushed ice and some water, before handing it to his daughter. She takes it with a shaky hand, bringing it to her lips and sipping it. The ice cold water soothes her heated throat making her sigh.

"Thank you." She mumbles. Jaime, Tony, and Mike had left to get food but they've been gone awhile. They were supposed to just stop by McDonald's. Lacy went ahead and got something but she probably won't eat it. It'll probably be shoved away and neglected.

The door opens, Tony, Mike, and Jaime filing in with bags of food in their hands. The smell fills the room and Lacy nearly doubles over gagging. Vic digs through the bags, pulling out a burger with ketchup and cheese only and setting it in front of Lacy.

She takes one glance at the food before she's covering her mouth, trying to push away the need to vomit. She grabs the cup of water, downing half of it one gulp.

"I'm not hungry.." she quietly says, pushing the food away. Vic frowns, looking to Lacy.

"You need to eat though." he says, grabbing her burger and unwrapping it for her. "Come on. Just half of it." Vic pleads, placing the burger back in front of her.

Lacy looks to Vic, shaking her head. "I can't..." she whispers, tears filling her eyes.

"Come on baby. Please." he says, sitting on the edge of the bed beside her.

"I don't want to be fat..." she cries, covering her face with her hands.

"You won't get fat. Baby girl, you are underweight. You need to gain some. Just please, for me." Vic begs and Lacy removes her hands from her face. She hesitates as she picks up the burger but takes a small bite, barely making a dent. She quickly swallows it, taking another bite.

"You're getting fat again! Stop eating fatty!" A voice yells at her.

"You're doing wonderful darling." Vic says, coaching his daughter through this. Lacy nearly gags as she takes her fourth bite.

"I can't eat anymore.." she says, sitting the burger down and shoving it away. Vic frowns, shaking his head.

"Come on. You need to eat." he says, picking up the food and moving it towards Lacy. She shakes her head violently, moving her head away.

"I can't eat it." She says, scooting away from her father. Vic's frown deepens as he puts the burger down and sighs.

"Okay.." he says and moved back to his seat to eat. Lacy just sits there, ignoring the looks he's getting from the other three boys.

"I'll never be normal. I just hurt my own father. How could I do this? Godammit I'm a horrible person." Lacy thinks to herself, scooting back to the middle of her bed. For the next twenty minutes, they all sit in a silence, the sound of wrappers and drinks being sipped, the only sound in the room.

The door opens and the doctor walks in, a smile on his lips. "You shall be leaving day." he says and Lacy nods, looking to her father who is wearing the biggest smile ever. She gives him a fake smile as he looks at her.

And she finally gave up, dropped the fake smile as a tear ran down her cheek and she whispered to herself "I can't do this anymore"
