Glow Up ~ Dolan Twins

Chapter 24

I get home and immediately run up to my room and flop onto my bed. I pull my phone out of my pocket and scroll through my notifications. I got plenty of text messages from Kim and Gray. All of them apologizing and asking to talk to me. I begin to tear up at the thought of everything again. Why would she do that? I thought she was supposed to be my best friend? I thought Grayson cared about me? I felt my heart begin to shatter, not because of Grayson, but because of Kim. She was there for me when no one else would even wave at me in the halls. She was the one who'd hug me and tell me everything was okay. She was the one who kept me from going insane after all those years of merciless taunting from the twins. I thought she of all people would be there with me till the end. I need someone to talk to. Usually I would talk to Kim about something that made me this upset. Who else do I have? Ethan is probably busy dealing with Grayson, I'm mad at Kim. I mean... I guess there's always Meredith. She did stick up for me today. Right? I text her.

To: Meredith
Need someone to talk to.

From: Meredith
Don't worry, I'll be there ASAP

After 20 minutes of waiting, I figured Meredith wasn't coming around. I begin to cry again as I press my back against a wall and slide down till I'm seated on the floor. I begin screeching like an urchin as I cry more and more. I hit my head against the wall as hard as I can a few times, this wasn't that hard though because all the crying was beginning to make me feel weak. I hear my front door shut as I continue to cry and hit my head. I then hear steps quickly running up the stairs and through my door.

"ANDREA! STOP! I'm so sorry I took so long, I thought I'd stop at the store and buy you some feel good food." Meredith says as she walks in and see's me probably looking like shit, and screaming bloody murder. She quickly runs over to me and hugs me tight, then helps me back onto my bed.

"Is this still about Grayson and Kim?" She asks. I nod my head and sob quietly.

"Oh, honey *she pauses to hug me again* they're not worth your tears." She says as she rubs my back. She pulls away and grabs a tissue to wipe away my tears and blotchy makeup. I sniff.

"See! You look better already.. sort of..." she says in a somewhat cheerful way as she tilts her head to the side. I put my head down and chuckle.

"It smiles!" She cheers and I giggle.

"Okay, so now that you're not crying too much anymore, I brought you some ice cream, some cookies, and a fresh baked croissant." She says and I frown.

"Thanks Mer but, I'm not hungry." I say, tempting as it sounds I can't eat. I'll just get fat again.

"Andrea, you are hungry. Don't you think I've noticed that you haven't been eating lunch? And don't tell me that you've been eating at home because I know it's all bullshit. You need to eat Andrea. You could die because of this." She says, a look of worry on her face.

"Not for nothing, but why do you care? You didn't even know I existed last year?" I say.

"Andrea, I care because we're friends now. And I'm the kind of person who gets easily attached to others, so you're stuck to me" she says and shrugs. I giggle.

"Now, Andrea Rose Montague, you are going to eat at lease SOME of this food even if I have to force feed you!" She says picking up the croissant and shoving it in my face. I laugh.

"Okay! Okay I'll eat!" I yell and continue to laugh as she hands me the croissant along with some ice cream and cookies.

Another short chapter I know! I'm cheaping out on you guys! I promise I'll write a bigger one once I have the time. Much love to all of you and thanks for sticking with me!
