Jack POV

Aislyn and Victoria banged on the door and I got up to answer it. Grayson tried to answer it but she was still getting used to her crutches and I didn't want her to hurt herself. They came running in with food and sat it on the kitchen counter.

"Come get your burrito before I eat it" Aislyn said as she was already digging into her burrito

"I'm not hungry" Grayson answered and scrolled through her phone

"YOU BETTER COME AND EAT THIS BEFORE I THROW MY SHOE AT YOU" Victoria yelled across the room, I had told her about Grayson not wanting to eat anything and she said she'd get her to eat.

"I'll eat later" Grayson said and stood up.

"Eat now" Aislyn said and Grayson rolled her eyes. "But I'm not hungry"

"I WARNED YOU" Victoria yelled and threw her sandal at Grayson. Grayson screamed and ducked sideways. "TORI YOU'RE CRAZY" she yelled and started laughing. "Fine fine I'll eat" she said and came over to the kitchen.

Victoria and Aislyn smiled and slid her food across the counter. She sat her crutches down and got into a chair. She picked up her water bottle and took a sip. She sat there for a few minutes without eating.

"Gray you've gotta eat" I said softly. She was starting to worry me with her not eating. She took a bite and drank her water again. Victoria and Aislyn looked at me and I raised my eyebrow. We had to get her to eat somehow.

"Do you want a smoothie?" I asked her. Those were her favorite, she'd never turn a smoothie down.

"No, I'm really not hungry" She said and moved her burrito around her plate.

"What about a gainz bowl?" Victoria asked.

"No! Stop trying to get me to eat guys. I said I'm not hungry" She said and got her crutches and left the room. This was going to be harder than I thought. She had to eat soon, it wasn't healthy for her to starve herself like that.

"I know she's upset about dance and soccer but she's got to eat sometime"

"Why won't she eat though?" I asked and Victoria looked like she had a secret to tell.

"Um I've gotta tell you guys something"

"Okay" Aislyn and I both said at the same time.

"Well Grayson and I have known each other a while and she's done this before"

"What do you mean?"

"Well about two years ago, her dance team was at state finals, she did her solo and messed up once. It wasn't even noticeable to anybody but her coach. The judges saw and because of that, her team lost by a few points. She got cut from the team. She was the best dancer and because of one mistake, her coach cut her. She was absolutely crushed. She spent the next few days locked in her room crying. She didn't eat and she lost a lot of weight. Her parents found out and forced her to eat. They sat with her at every meal and waited until she was done eating to leave. She got better and she swore to me she'd never do it again but she is. We have to make her eat before it gets bad like it was" Victoria said and Aislyn and I were speechless for a few minutes. I didn't know what to say.
