H O P E
I don't even want Diego to see me a in one piece swimsuit, I'm too fat.

But I have no choice.

Diego goes into a bathroom near the living room to change into a swimsuit, and Lia goes into our room's bathroom to do the same.

I put on a black one piece swimsuit with daisies on it.

I look in the mirror, examining my body with disgust.

I don't like the way this fits me.

Lia comes out of the bathroom, looking like a goddess in her bikini.

It's turquoise, and it shows off her beautiful body.

"You look great." I say.

"So do you!" Lia says.

"No, I look disgusting." I say.

"No you don't." Lia says.

"Yes I do! Look at this!" I say, and pinch at my stomach fat.

"Hope, everyone is insecure about their looks at some point in their life. I mean, I had to be hospitalized because I attempted suicide because of bullying and my anorexia. But now I'm stronger. I love myself, and that's a better way to live." Lia says.

"But you're skinny." I say.

"Come on, Hope. I'm so underweight that I had to be hospitalized because of it. You DON'T want to be underweight, believe me." I say.

"But no one wants to be fat." I say.

Lia sighs.

Diego opens the door.

"Really Diego? Pink trunks?" Lia giggles.

"It was all I packed. I didn't think I would swim at all on the trip." Diego says, and rolls his eyes.

We all laugh.

"Let's go." Lia says.

We exit the jet and walk to a pool nearby.

Unfortunately, there are a few girls there.

They turn to us.

"OMG IT'S LDSHADOWLADY'S DUAGHTER!" one of them yells.

They run up to Lia.

One girl looks at me, and gives me a bitchy look.

Ick.

She looked at your stomach and thighs.

I sprint out of the pool area, tears brimming my eyes.

These girls are so thin and pretty.

I'm so done with this life.

Everyone around me is so skinny.

"I'm glad that fat pig left." one of the girls smirks.

"HOPE!" Diego calls, and runs after Hope.

"What does her see in her?" another girl asks, and laughs.

"She's a great person." I frown.

"Maybe she seems like it, but she not. Have you seen her body?" another girl smirks.

"Uh, yes. She's not fat." I frown.

"Yes she is! Look at her! She's so overweight! Do see how much her stomach pokes out? How her thighs jiggle when she walks? HAVE YOU?" one of them screams.

I can't let them say this about Hope.

I slap the girl who said that right across the face.

The other girls look LIVID.

"YOU'RE SUCH A BITCH!" they scream as they run away.

I run back to the jet where Diego is pounding on the bathroom door.

"LET ME IN!" he screams.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"Hope's hurting herself in the bathroom!" he says.

I jiggle the doorknob, but it's locked.

"I got this." Diego says.

He kicks down the door to reveal an unconscious Hope on the floor.

We gasp.
