DINAH POV:

As Marissa quit the phonecall I tried to call her again but she didn't pick up so I decided to call Demi.

DJ: Demi?
D: Yeah what happened?
DJ: This ain't the easiest thing to tell you but Sam has an eating disorder.
D: You are kidding right please tell me this is just a joke.
DJ: I'm sorry Demi.
D: Could you let me talk to her?
DJ: There you go.
S: Demi?
D: Hey baby. What's up with that mind of yours. You shouldn't be doing this to yourself.
S: I'm sorry.
D: It's not your fault Sam. I love you and I'd support you through anything.
S: I'm coming home tomorrow.
D: I'll be there. I love you, please, stay safe.
S: I love you too.

They ended the phonecall and Sammie looks exhausted. "Hey get some sleep baby." I told her. She laid down so I gave her a kiss on her forehead and walked out to watch the end of the show.

They only had a few songs left so I decided to quickly fix my make up and everything to go on stage for the last few songs. These people have paid to see the 5 of us perform, not the 4 of us. I think I really owe them at least a few songs.

"Good evening everybody!" I screamed through the mic. "Are you guys having fun with my girls?"

"Hey are you okay?" Normani whispered in my ear so I nodded.

We finished the last 4 songs and then got off stage.

"How is she doing?" Lauren asked. "She's... stable. She's going home tomorrow." I said and the girls look shocked. "Wait what about the tour? She's our first act and we still have a week left?" Camila stated. "We have to do what's best for her Camz." Ally said. I nodded.

"I already called Demi and she took it well. She's gonna take care of her and take her from the airport tomorrow. I also called Marissa but somehow after I told her she just hung up on me and didn't call back or anything." I said. "Well that's kinda weird." Lauren said and we all nodded.

"Hey girls." A very sleepy Sammie walked towards us. "Sorry I just woke up and sorry for ruining the show."

"You didn't ruin it Sam. And we are gonna support you through this." Ally gave her a hug, then the others also did. "GROUPHUG!" Camila squealed.

The night flew by and before I knew I was laying in bed in our hotel room with Sammie.

"Sammie?"

"Yeah?"

"Promise me you'll try."

"Try what?"

"Try to recover." I sighed. "You'll have to go to rehab baby you know that. Demi told me you've been struggling before, and it probably never stopped, is that right?" I asked and she nodded.

"Come here." She buried her head into my chest and I felt her slowly falling asleep.

Next day

SAMMIE POV:

My goodbye to the girls was hard. Especially Dinah. I feel like I'm letting them down for my own selfish reasons.

However I am now at the LAX airport waiting for Demi, who should be here in 5.

I haven't heard from Marissa. It's strange. Usually she'd do anything she could to help me and to make sure I'm alright.

The minutes passed by and then I saw Demi walking my way.

"Hey babygirl." She said and then kissed me. "Hey baby." I giggled. "Let's head home." She said as she took my hand and walked back to her car.

"Are we going to your house or mine?" I asked. "Yours. You need to see your mom and explain what happened. I can say she's extremely upset about this. We talked before you came here." She said and I nodded, putting on the radio.

Half an hour later which felt like 5 minutes we arrived at my house so I knocked on the door, soon someone opened it.

"Baby." She hugged me. That moment when she opened the door I still saw her red, puffy eyes. This is my fault.

Demi and I both went inside and sat down on the couch. Marissa got us a glass of water and also sat down on the couch besides us.

"Why?" She asked, but more likely stated. "Why did you do this to yourself?"

"I'm sorry." I looked down. "But I do want to get better, I do want help." Marissa hugged me once I said that.

"I wish you didn't have to go through this." She said. "Me neither." I agreed.

"Demi and I both decided to send you into rehab." She looked at Demi, then back at me. "Yeah I already assumed."

"You are gonna be alright. I'll be visiting you each weekend." Demi said and softly kissed me, till Marissa cleared her throat. "Sorry." Demi said and blushed, I just giggled.

This will be a hell of a life from now on.

"So I guess I'll grab my stuff together." I stood up and went upstairs. I took my suitcase from tour to see if I had anything clean left, which I did.

I've got 5 shirts, 3 pants, 2 pairs of underwear and a pair of shoes. I decided to take 3 more shirts with me, 2 more pants, PJ's, 7 sets of underwear and 1 more pair of shoes.

I also took my memories with me. Memories as in pictures, all the pictures on my wall, the pictures from Marissa and I, they're most important to me.

I also took my charger, headphones, stuffed animal and bathroom stuff.

Once I finished it was time to go. Time to get better.

Messages:

Dinah J:
"We are with you. Goodluck there babygirl I'll visit you as soon as possible. Love from the girls and especially from me."

Nick:
"Stay safe please. I love you. You'll get through it. I'm here."

So now everybody knows. This ain't gonna be easy.

It was a kinda long ride to the treatment centre. Demi drove us so Marissa sat in the back next to me. She held me all the time and basically just didn't want to let go of me, but once we arrived something changed. It's just, the look in her eyes, it's gone. It's like a black hole full of bad memories from which you can see right now. It's, scary.

"Before we go in there and sign you up, I want you to know that you can always call me if you need anything. They're good people Sam, go to them if something bothers you. They won't judge, they won't hurt you, they are only there to help you and to make sure you stay alive happy and healthy. I love you." Marissa said and hugged me, then took my hand.

We slowly walked inside and once we came inside I just felt terrible. How could I let myself go this far. How did I let this happen.

We walked to the reception to sign me up, Demi took my hand this time instead.

"Hello, I am here to sign up my daughter Sammie Callahan." Marissa said.

She looked anxious. Something's wrong with her. Or maybe she's just tired.

"Wait... Marissa Callahan?!"
