"Dinah, Steve says we're about to stop for something to eat. Do you want to come with us? You haven't really eaten all day." Lauren said as she stuck her head into Dinah's bunk. Dinah had been there all day and she wasn't talking to anyone. The other girls thought she was homesick, but Lauren was seriously worried about the younger girl.

"No, I'm okay." Dinah answered softly. Lauren's brow furrowed and she thought back to the last few days. She hadn't actually seen Dinah eat since the day before yesterday.

"Dinah, what's going on?" Lauren asked.

"Lauren, just leave me the fuck alone!" Dinah snapped. Lauren's eyes widened and she closed the bunk's curtain. She had never seen Dinah snap like that before.

"Hey, is Dinah coming?" Normani asked. Lauren shook her head as she walked towards the girl. She sparred a glance back at Dinah's bunk, promising to get to the bottom of the girls behavior.

It had been nearly a week since Dinah's snapped at Lauren, and the young girl had been all over the place. Lauren had been watching her closely, and something was definitely wrong. She had been eating less and less and when asked if she was okay, she always said the same thing. I'm fine.

It was one afternoon in Lauren and Dinah's shared hotel room that Lauren heard strange noises coming from the bathroom. Thinking nothing of it, Lauren turned back to her phone. She heard the toilet flush and a pale looking Dinah came out.

"You alright?" Lauren asked. "You look like you're going to pass out." Lauren started worriedly at the girl.

"I'm fine. I just have a stomach ache."

"Maybe you should eat something." Lauren suggested. "I could go for some Subway right now. You want to come?"

"No, I'm not hungry. I kinda want to take a nap." Dinah laid down on her bed and buried her face into her pillow.

Lauren immediately took her laptop out and started doing some research to come up with something to explain Dinah's behavior. She was terrified for her best friend and she wanted to find out what was wrong so she could help her immediately.

After hours of extensive research, there was only one thing that made sense. Dinah had an eating disorder.

Not just any eating disorder, though. Bulimia Nervosa to be completely accurate.

Lauren looked over at her sleeping best friend and let out a few silent tears.

"I'm going to help you get through this. I promise." Lauren whispered into the silent room.

The very next day, Lauren watched Dinah like a hawk. The girl seemed almost normal. Laughing, playing, joking, and taking selfies like no other. She was hyper and energetic on the outside, but Lauren knew there was something horrible going on in Dinah's mind.

Around lunch time, Dinah stuffed her face non-stop. Anything she could get her hands on was in her mouth. She had eaten almost an entire box of pizza, two whole burgers, a bunch of Nutella, and almost a whole 2 liter of pop. After her body was filled to its limit, she excused herself to the bathroom, and that's when Lauren jumped up and immediately followed her.

She followed Dinah all the way to the west end of the venue to the bathroom that no one was around. Just as Dinah was about to head inside, Lauren called out her name.

"Lauren? Why are you following me?" Dinah seemed nervous.

"I know." Lauren stated firmly.

"Know what?" Dinah played dumb.
