Also thank you for 400 views! Love you all so much xx)

I wake up next to Tracy, it wasn't a dream after all

She opens her eyes, giving me a smile

'Sorry if I woke you' I say

'You didn't, I've been up for hours' She says, laughing and trying to stifle a yawn

'Thank you for last night...I don't know what happened but I'm glad you were there for me, it means a lot' I say

She takes my hand and reminds me that I can talk to her whenever she needs someone

'Thanks Tracy' I say before getting up, she smiles and leaves to get changed

I look at the broken blade on the floor

Now I remember...

TRACYS POV

'Hey Mike can I speak to you a second?' I say as I head into the office

He agrees and I close the door

'I'm worried about Opal...really worried, she's acting like she's trying to hide something' I say

'I'm sure she's okay, don't worry' he says smiling

'But what if she isn't?'

'Then we talk to her and see if there's anything wrong' he says

I nod and leave, knowing I have to talk to her

OPALS POV

I head downstairs for breakfast, but just the smell of the food makes we feel nauseous

Tracy notices I'm not eating anything and asks if I'm okay

'Yeah, I'm fine, just not hungry that's all' I say before asking to leave the table

Tracy glances at mike, she looks really worried

Has she caught on?

'You have to eat something Opal, you didn't eat last night or yesterday at breakfast' mike says

'I said. I'm not hungry. Now can I leave or not!' I say angrily

'Yes you can but I want to talk to you' Tracy says

I stand up and leave the room, Tracy following close behind

'Why can't you just leave me alone!' I say

'Because I care about you too much to do that' she says taking my hand

'What's wrong, Opal?' She asks me

I can feel myself about to burst into tears or be violently sick again

'Nothing, alright! I just wasn't in the mood for greasy bacon in the morning! Don't wanna be even fatter do I!' I say angrily before realising I've slipped up

'Opal, you are anything but fat, you're beautiful, kind, funny, you're what so many people want to be' she says, smiling

'You have to say that because you're my friend' I say
