I woke up around noon and forgot I was in Pete's bed. He had his arm around me so I carefully moved it so I could get out of bed. I'm starving but I don't want to eat too much. Maybe I'll see how I weigh. I step on the scale in his bathroom and see that I'm at 87 pounds. That's an improvement, last time I checked, around 5 months ago, I was 95 pounds. But if I don't eat, the guys will notice and they'll question me.

I head downstairs and hear talking.

"Haven't you noticed how she doesn't eat much?"

"Yeah. Didn't they say back at the orphanage that she has an eating disorder?"

"I think so. We'll ask her about it later, but we should wait until Patrick and Pete are up."

I keep walking down the stairs. "Good morning." Joe and Andy stop talking when they see me.

"Good morning. Any nightmares from that movie?" Joe teased.

"Nope. I slept with Uncle Pete to keep the monsters away!"

"Ok. Do you want lunch?" Andy asks.

"Umm. Sure! Can I have a sandwich?"

"What kind?"

"Turkey!" I love turkey sandwiches. Andy makes me the sandwich and Pete wakes up. He mumbles something that's probably about pizza and sits down next to me.

After a couple hours, dad finally wakes up. We all get dressed since I think we're gonna do something today.

"Ok Abby." Dad says as we all sit down on the couch. I know this is about my eating. "We know you have an eating disorder. We want to help fix it. But we've seen how you barely eat."

"I know." I say quietly.

"From now on, you have to eat 2 meals a day. They don't have to be very large, but we'll work our way up from there."

"Ok."

"Now that that's done, let's go do something!" Pete says.

"What?" I ask.

"Umm. How about bowling!" We agree and all get in the car.

I end up getting last because I suck. I literally managed to get gutter balls with bumpers! Only I could do that!

That night I go to bed excited because of the party me and Brendon planned.

We all wake up sometime after noon and get ready to go to release The Youngblood Chronicles. From 4-8 there was a professional release party.

At 7:30, dad got a text from Brendon they needed to come over at 8:30. We left at 8 and went to Brendon's house. Dallon stopped the guys outside while I went inside to make sure Brendon had everything ready.

"Cake?"

"Check."

"Music?"

"Check."

"Drinks?"

"Check."

"Food?"

"Check."

"All the other miscellaneous crap I told you to get?"

"Most likely. Fall Out Boy?"

"Check." I grinned ear to ear and went back outside to tell Dallon to bring them in. I know this all seems overboard, but I like planning things and I like making people feel special and happy.

Dallon brought them in, and I must say, their faces were priceless. They saw the giant banner that said: Congrats Youngbloods. I had Brendon make something so that when they walked in, confetti would fall on them. It was a bit delayed but that's ok.

"What's all this for?" Dad asked.

"For making The Youngblood Chronicles silly! You guys practically filmed an entire movie in a month! You deserved a party!" I say hugging him.

"Thanks sweetie."

We all hang out until Kenny runs off to get the cake. I sent Brendon a collage of pictures I took of me and the guys on set to put on the cake. Their facial expressions ranged from happy, surprised, hungry, confused, murderous. There were a few pictures I took without them knowing.

"Thanks Abby!" Pete told me. He goes to cut a slice when I stop him.

"Wait! I want a picture with all us in it with the cake please?" Brendon takes my phone and takes a picture then Pete cuts the cake.

It was really good, even though it was a $15 cake from the grocery store. Sooner or later, I knew this would happen, and Brendon got the beer.

Me and Andy sat back and watched the stupid they were doing. Although we did think it would be a good idea to step in when Pete was about to hit Brendon with an empty beer bottle.

"But he drank the rest of it! He needs to be punished!" Pete yelled as we took the bottle away. Then we went in the kitchen and pouted drinking more alcohol.

We sat back down and drank orange juice. "Uncle Andy?"

"What?"

"I think when I'm older I want to be straight edge too. I can't imagine what it would be like getting drunk, doing stupid things, passing out, waking up with a hangover, and not remembering anything from the night before."

"Ok, that's great Abby!"

Pete continued to tease Brendon. Brendon would run away from Pete. Joe was pretending he was a dog and was sticking his head out the window. Kenny, Dallon, and Spencer weren't anywhere to seen. Patrick was just the happiest man in the world.

One by one, they dropped like pins and we decided we would stay here tonight. Me and Andy went upstairs to the spare bedroom. We're gonna have to share a bed but that's ok. I like sleeping with someone by my side. I haven't told anyone, but I get nightmares sometimes and don't sleep at all.

Andy went to sleep but I was still on my phone. I decide to post the picture of me and the guys on Instagram saying: "Hope you all love The Youngblood Chronicles! I know @ falloutboy enjoyed filming it!" Then tagged all the guys in it.

Then I went to bed after checking my Twitter and Tumblr.
