THE NEXT DAY
"So, this is goodbye." I say.

We're standing in front of my rehab center.

Lia stayed home because she was too upset to see me leave.

Lizzie hugs me.

"Hope, I love you so much. Don't ever forget that. I'll see you in a month." she says.

We walk to the doors of the rehab center.

"Goodbye." Lizzie says, and kisses my cheek.

I walk into the rehab center.

"Hi! You're Hope, right?" an assistant asks me.

"Yeah." I say.

"You need to go to your bulimic support group. Put your suitcase on the table over here." she says.

She points down the hall, and walk over to a door that says 'Support Groups'

I knock on the door, and a woman opens it.

"Hello! I'm Katherine and I'll be your therapist for your support group. Come on in!" she says.

There are two other girls sitting at a table.

I sit down next to a girl with bright blue eyes, silky looking black hair, and a very skinny frame.

"Hi! I'm Tiana." she smiles.

There's another girl, who looks oddly familiar.

"Hope!" she calls out.

It's Millie, the girl I met at school!

"Millie!" I say.

"Why weren't you in school?" she asks.

"We went on tour." I say.

"Oh yeah! I saw you on the news." she's says.

"Okay girls, let's get started. Hope, tell us your story." Katherine says.

"I was abused by my father and taken to an orphanage. After two years, LDShadowLady and Lia adopted me. Lia has a beautiful body, and she caused me to have body image issues. One day, after eating dinner, I cut my wrist and purged. The next day, we went on tour. I met my boyfriend, but some girls called me fat at the pool. I cut myself seventeen times, and passed out. My father broke out of jail. After the tour ended, everything got worse. I nearly died yesterday. Now I'm here." I say.

"I'm so sorry." Katherine says.

I smile.

"Now, let's here Tiana's story." Katherine says.

"It all started when I was 9. I'm 12 now. I had a huge overeating problem. I was really chubby, and I noticed that everyone was skinnier than me. I looked at myself in the mirror, and burst into tears. My stomach stuck out a lot, my thighs were jiggly, and my face was huge and I had a double chin. I completely stopped eating, and when I did, I purged. Soon, I was the skinniest in my 3rd grade class. I still thought I was fat. I found out onlinr about self harm, and I remember grabbing my moms razor. I cut my stomach, and my sister walked in. At first, we were just doing therapy. It wasn't working, and the cutting and bulimia continued. My family decided that rehab was the best option." Tiana trails off.

Soon, she's crying.

"Shh, it's okay." Katherine says.

"Can I tell my story?" Millie asks.

"Sure." Katherine says.

"It started after I met Hope at school. I got super depressed for some reason(obviously not because of Hope). I was cutting, the pain helped so much. I wasn't eating, but not because I wanted to be skinny. I would throw up my food, and my mom caught me once. I had a therapist, but she wasn't helping. My family thought that rehab was a good idea." Millie says.

"I'm so sorry Millie." I say.

She smiles.

I can already tell that me and these girls are going to be friends.

I drive home, sobbing.

Since the rehab center is about an hour away, it's a pretty long drive, especially because I'm upset.

What have I ever done wrong?

My baby is cutting herself, starving herself, and in rehab.

I can't even imagine the hurt Lia's feeling right now.

Hope's in rehab because of Lia.

I decide to pull into a parking lot, and do a vlog explaining everything.

I whip out my phone, and start recording.

"Hey guys, what's up? LDShadowLady here! Today is a very sad day. Hope has gone to rehab and she'll stay there for a month. But, there's good news too. I'm pregnant with twins! One's a boy and one's a girl. Their names are gonna be Cassidy and Noah, as of now. Lia is doing fine, and Buddy and Ellie are doing fine. We're actually going to be surprising Hope with a two rabbits when she gets home. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little vlog. Bye guys!" I say, and end the recording.
==========================
What should Hope's rabbits be named? Comment here!

One of them might be named Joey or JoJo because that was the name of my Grams cat(who used to be my moms cat) who had to be put down in August.

I tried to make this chapter as long as possible.

When do y'all go back to school?

I go back on January 2nd:(

QOTD: Did you do anything fun on winter break?
AOTD: not really I didn't have a super long winter break:(
