Alexis sighed to herself as she stood in front of the mirror in her uniform. She was returning to school for the first time in weeks and she was scared. Grace walked into the room and smiled as she walked over to her.

Her head was a mess and she was scared over going back to school. Grace walked over to her and smiled as she placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled "I know but you need to go back to school for Lily's sake. It is going to be okay. I'm here for you no matter what and I love you and I promise that it's all going to be okay" grace said

Alexis looked to her and smiled "everyone is going to judge me, the girl with the eating disorder. The girl who nearly lost her baby because of it" Alexis said as grace looked to her and smiled "I know, I know that you think that but everyone loves you and it's all going to be okay.

She needed to do it for not just herself but for lily too
