Liv's POV

I was sitting waiting for Lin to come back when Leslie walked over to me. "Hey kid! Can we talk?" I nodded and he picked me up. "Kid you need to eat!" I giggled and he took me to the stage where all the main cast members were sitting. Thayne, Ariana, and a few other ensemble members were there too. Leslie passed me off to Anthony who put me in a chair.
"Kid we need to talk," Anthony's voice was serious. I've never heard it this serious before. Even on stage.
"What's going on guys?" I asked nervously. They all looked at each other.
"Liv why did you do it?" Thayne said breaking the silence.
"Do what?" They were starting to scare me. The cast is normally very cheery and not serious unless their characters call for it.
"Liv you know what we're talking about! The reason you're back in that chair!" Leslie exploded. Everyone looked at him shocked. I felt tears fill my eyes. "Liv I..." I tried my hardest to get up but ended up falling back into the chair I was sitting in.
"We're worried Liv. You haven't been eating. You're not your cheery self. You aren't being you, Liv. You tried to kill yourself! Why Liv? Why?" Oak said coming and sitting by my side. I shifted away from him.
"Liv don't shut us out. We just want to help," Renée said gently. I was so fed up I exploded.
"If you want to help don't ask! This is a hard time for me okay! The holidays have always been a hard time! Okay! That's what's been making me so down okay! Doesn't help that I have you guys checking up in me every five minutes! Now someone get my chair so I can storm out!" Oak picked me up and helped me to my chair. I wheeled out to my dressing room I used on days like today. I slammed my door and tried to climb onto my bed. I ended up falling to the ground making me cry more.
I stayed like that until there was some voices coming from outside my door and a knock. "Liv it's Abuelo. I want to talk."
"No abuelo. I'm not in the mood." I cried even more. They got abuelo here to talk to me. They must be desperate.
"I'm coming in like it or not." Abuela threatned. The door opened. I didn't look up. "Oh nieta!" She hurried to my side. I cried as she wrapped me in her arms.
"Want me to get Lin for you?" Abuelo asked nicely. I shook my head no. "What's wrong nieta?" Together they pulled me up onto the bed.
"The cast tried to get me to tell them why I..." I looked down when Lin walked in.
"Liv I'm so sorry," he ran over and joined his parents in hugging me. I cried into his shoulder. "Mija it's time for your medicine." I nodded and he went into my bag and pulled out my medicine. He tried hand me the two pills and some water. I didn't take them.
"I hate this medicine. It makes me tired and cranky." Abuelo chuckled.
"You are always cranky. Medicine or not." I rolled my eyes.
"You have to take the medication mija. It's helping." He held his hand with the medicine out to me.
"No Lin. It's not helping. I feel tired after taking it. I can't eat because it makes me nauseous. Please don't make me take it." I started crying again.
"Nieta please. At least take one of them." Abuela said nicely. I shook my head. I'm never taking that medicine again.
"I'll leave it here for you. Incase you change your mind. I have to go get ready. I'll see you in between shows." Lin kissed my head and left the room. Abuelo and Abuela did the same soon after. I heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I called. The person came in. I couldn't believe it at first.
"Alexander Hamilton. My name is Alexander Hamilton and there's a million things I haven't done yet. Just you wait." My visitor sang.
"Alex!" I sat up and hugged him when he came to my bed.
"And Peggy!" Anna came in following.
"I missed you guys so much!" We hugged for what seemed like forever.
"How are you feeling?" Anna asked ruining the moment.
I glared at her, "what do you think?" She giggled like she always does. Alex wrapped his arm around me as he sits besides me. His smile faded when he saw my medicine on the bedside table.
"Liv, why aren't you taking your meds?" I glared at him.
"Why does everyone feel like questioning me today! I just want to be left alone!" I yelled forgetting about the show going on. I turned and faced away from them
"Liv I'm sorry..." Alex tried to apologize. I ignored him. "We'll be in the wings if you need anything." They left. I was alone again. Crying. Why do I always screw up everything?
