Previously in chapter 41:
"You make me happy." I told him.

"I have four words for you too."

"Oh?"

"Are you also hungry?"

I laughed.

"I can eat." I said.

"Ah, those three words are what every guy wants to hear."

I crawled up from his lap and reached for his hand.

"Let's go find some midnight-snack." 

-------------------------

"I'm having nightmares." I said, tugging at the teddy bear's leg. "Or not really nightmares, just very intense dreams. I wake up with a racing heart and I'm all sweaty. And everything feels so real."

"Do you remember the dreams? Can you tell me about them?" Mrs Roberts asked.

"I can't explain what happens." I said, shaking my head.

"How do you sleep? What are your sleeping habits like?"

"I sleep, a lot. I don't feeling like doing anything else than lying in my bed."

"Does your boyfriend notice anything during the night? I assume you two share a bed."

"He struggles with insomnia, so he watches me." I said. "Apparently I'm very hard to calm down. I barely notice when he touches me."

She nodded and wrote in her notepad.

"Explain a normal day for you."

"I wake up, get dressed and pack my bag. Grab a cup of coffee before heading to uni. I go to my classes, use my lunch break to study for an exam or something. And when I get home I might grab something to eat and then I lay down in the bed with a book until Niall comes home. Then we usually watch telly and just talk. And then I go to sleep."

I saw how she furrowed her eyebrows a little as she wrote.

"Do you still see your friends?"

"Not as much as I used to."

"And when was the last time you and your boyfriend were intimate?"

"A couple of weeks, maybe." I shrugged.

"Olivia." Mrs Roberts said, taking off her glasses and put them down on the table along with her notepad. "Are you comfortable with yourself?"

I shrugged again. "Sure."

"Then why aren't you eating the way you used to?"

"Don't feel like it."

"Are you trying to starve yourself?"

I looked away.

"Maybe."

"Does your friends or boyfriend know about this?"

I shook my head.

"As I said, I don't see my friends that often anymore. Not even Zara."

She gave me a sad smile.
