- real life

bailey had finally recovered from the near panic attack she'd had in reference to her first therapy appointment, and needless to say she was feeling pretty okay. but she knew she was getting sicker.

katie and nora were currently on their way over to bailey and tom's so bailey could fill her friends in on what was happening in her life.

to say she felt like throwing up was an understatement. she knew the last thing her friends would do was judge her- but she couldn't help to feel anxious about what they would think.

tom had went out grocery shopping, leaving bailey to her lonesome in the apartment.

a knock upon the door shook her back into reality, causing her to quickly stand up and stumble over to the door. she was instantly greeted with a group hug from katie and nora to which bailey mustered up a fake smile while greeting them.

the trio walked back inside and all sat on the big sectional in the living room, making small talk and catching up on life events.

"so, bailey what was is that you needed to talk about to us?" nora questioned, katie nodding in agreement. bailey let out a nervous sigh before opening her mouth to speak. "i don't know how to say this, but i'm anorexic. i think it's largely as a result of instagram and i let it all get to me." bailey finished, her voice wavering.

katie had begun to tear up while nora's mouth had dropped open, neither of the two could formulate words. nora tugged bailey into a tight hug, and she eventually felt katie join in.

"we're here for you, always." katie spoke through her tears, nora nodding and sniffling in response. "i love you guys." bailey whispered.

the relief that spread through bailey was like wildfire, she had a whole team of people on her side looking out for her and made her feel loved.

right in that moment, tom walked in- groceries in hand with chris right behind him.

"invite seb over, lets have a squad movie night!" katie exclaimed, causing everyone in the room to laugh. chris collapsed on the couch next to bailey, pulling her into his side and kissing her head.

tom had started setting up and sebastian came over, and everyone got arranged around the tv to start watching all of the star wars movies. bailey had never seen them, and katie thought that was a sin.

however, all throughout the movies- bailey couldn't help but to know that she was getting sicker, and that she was running out of time.
