1 DAY LATER
"Beep beep beep!" my alarm clock rings, signaling me that it's time to wake up.
I grown, and climb out of bed.
I got to my dresser and pick an outfit.
I put on ugg boots, and go into the kitchen.
I put an Eggo Waffle into the toaster.
Once it pops up, I put it on a Vidcon plate that Lizzie has in the cabinet.
Lizzie comes into the kitchen, looking frazzled.
"Lia's sick. I think she has a fever." she says in a panic.
"What? How'd she catch it?" I ask.
"I'm not sure, but I think it's just flu season right now." Lizzie says.
"Is she staying home?" I ask.
"Yup." Lizzie says.
I finish my waffle, and Lizzie drives me to school.
LATER THAT DAY
"Hope, your mom just called. You need to go home immediately. There's an emergency." my teacher says.
I go to my locker and pack up my things.
I sprint down to the office, where Lizzie is waiting for me.
Her eyes are red and puffy, I can tell she's crying.
"Lia's been hospitalized. She threw up everywhere and I quickly called an ambulance. They think it has something to do with her throat surgery that she had done a few months ago." she says.
I gasp.
We quickly leave the school and drive to the hospital.
"My poor girl has been to the hospital so many times in the past 2 months. Her friend commuted suicide, we got into a car crash, and she passed out." Lizzie says.
We walk into the large hospital, and go to Lia's room.
"She's throwing up blood. It could pneumonia, or it could be cancer." the nurse gives us heartbreaking news.
Lizzie squats down and starts to cry.
We all look down at her.
Her face is in her hands, and soft sobs are coming out.
I give her a well needed hug.
"There's a small chance that's it's cancer. There's only about a 20% chance that's it's cancer. 80% chance it's pneumonia." the nurse says.
Lizzie cries even harder.
"Cancer kills people!" she sobs.
"Not always." the nurse says.
The door opens, and we all turn towards it.
The doctor strolls in.
"Her tests are in. She has a throat infection, nothing too major. The stitches inside her throat have opened. She needs to have surgery again. She'll stay overnight here." he says.
Lizzie looks relieved.
"That sounds gross." I say, imagining bloody throats.
"Try having to actually do the operation on her." the doctor chuckles.
I look over at Lia's sleeping body.
My only wish it to have her body.
She's told me that she's naturally thin, but I still envy her.
"You guys may go home, we need to operate on her." the doctor says.
Lizzie walks over to Lia and wraps her arms around her tiny waist.
I walk over, and hug her, envying how flat her stomach is.
We leave the hospital, and drive home.
I look through my phone, at all my selfies of me and my old friends at my previous orphanage.
They're all skinnier that me.
Although I tell myself not to do it, I do a google search for thinspo.
My eyes start to water as I read through to quotes and look at the pictures.
You will be fat if you eat today.
Stop stuffing your fat face.
Do you want a Big Mac and a big belly, or nothing and a flat stomach?
I know I need to escape.
I exit the app, and watch my favorite YouTuber TheOdd1sOut(sorry lol).
Lizzie opens the door.
"Does that guy you're watching happen to be friends with JaidenAnimations?" Lizzie asks after seeing a small clip of the animated video before I rushed to pause it.
"Yeah." I say.
"Doesn't she animate for iHasCupquake?" Lizzie asks.
"She does." I say.
"Ok." Lizzie says.
She leaves the room.
I spend the rest of the day wondering why she asked that.
THE NEXT MORNING
Lizzie picked Lia up, and everything seems normal.
"I have a surprise for you!" Lizzie says.
We hear someone pounding on the door.
Lizzie smiles as she goes to get it.
Oh my gosh.
