Dotty awoke the next morning and stayed in her bed writing some notes and ideas on her notepad for her book. It was quite early but not that early, in the morning and she heard her parents milling around the house and the smell of coffee wafted around. Her stomach grumbled from her lack of eating the night before and she wanted to go and fill it up with some toast but decided against it.
It isn't as if she wants to starve herself, because she doesn't. Dotty loves food, who doesn't? She simply wasn't in the mood to get up. Her phone is still switched off in the corner of the room on the floor and frankly, she couldn't care less.
After a while a there was a knock on her door and her mother's head peered around the door. "Morning, sweetheart, can your father and I have a word?" Asked Emma softly.
Without looking up from her notepad, Dotty nodded and her parents joined her by sitting at the end of her bed.
"Tom called round last night," Started Chris, "The guys were at the park when you were. They saw and heard everything that happened."
Dotty dropped her notepad and pen, looking up in shock. "They saw? Everything? All of them?" Chris nodded placing a hand on her leg. "Oh no."
"Dotty, dear, it's fine. He explained everything to us and wanted to see if you were okay. All of them were disgusted with what was said about you. You needn't worry about your weight, what you dress like, what you do with your life. What you do need to do is block all of them, forget they exist and never speak to them again. You have more friends."
Dotty sniffed, "No I don't."
"Um, who are those lovely lads that care about you? Don't you remember, Tom, Tom, Harry, Cillian, Barry, Jack, and oh yeah, your boyfriend?" Said Emma, "Open your eyes Dotty, you're too nice for you to be trampled on by some petty idiots who don't care about you. In life, friends come and go, but those who care, stay. Have you seen your messages and missed calls?" Dotty shook her head, "We've had Fionn calling the house phone to see if you are okay, Tom came over last night, Dotty, we bet you there are tonnes of calls and messages from your real friends."
Dotty sighed. She climbed off of her bed and over to her phone. She picked it up and switched it on returning to her bed just to see floods of notifications from all of the boys, but mostly Fionn. "There's so many." SHe whispered.
"Exactly sweetheart, from those who care. Now, are you going to throw the trash away and talk to your love?" Smiled Chris with raised eyebrows, Dotty nodded her head a small smile on her face as she clicked on her contacts
"Block. Block. Block. Block. Block. Block. Block. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete." She looked up and showed her parents her contacts.
Kissing her head, they gave her one last smile before leaving herself to herself. Dotty clicked on her boyfriend's name and gave him a call. "Dotty!" Fionn exclaimed down the phone, "Bloody hell, I've been so worried, your parents said you were asleep and didn't eat last night. Are you all right?"
