Trigger Warnings: Implied Eating Disorder
"We're six!" The six resurrected queens sang together. The crowd was clapping and cheering. They smiled and waved as they started to make their way off stage. Cathy went off first, and Catherine went off last.
"Meet back out here when everyone is done? Maybe we could go eat out?" Catherine suggested before they split off into their dressing rooms.
Jane nodded and smiled. "Sounds great, love."
Kat and Cathy had, once that was quickly settled, ran off towards their dressing room. Jane sighed before walking after them.
"Slow down you two before you hurt someone!" She shouted after them. Her shouts, however, did nothing to slow the two.
Anne was nowhere to be seen, which probably meant that chaos was ensuing somewhere else. Catherine looked over at Anna, who was oddly still and quiet. She was nothing like her loud, bubbly self.
"Anna, are you alright?" Catherine asked, walking up to her.
Anna immediately snapped out of whatever trance she was in. She briefly looked up at Catherine before looking down at her hands, which were shaking badly. "Yeah...Yeah, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" Catherine pressed lightly. "That was a pretty bad stumble during Get Down."
"I said I'm fine!" Anna exclaimed angrily. She started to walk towards the dressing room she shared with Catherine and Anne. Before she could take more than a few steps, however, her legs began to give out. She was about to hit the ground when Catherine managed to catch her.
"Alright. You're clearly not fine. Are you sure you can walk to the dressing room by yourself?" She asked softly.
Anna bit her lip and shrugged. She looked anywhere except where Catherine was.
The older of the two women looked around the hallway they were in. There were no other people there. She could hear Kat, Jane, and Cathy down the hall laughing. Hesitantly, "Do you want me to pick you up?"
Anna shyly nodded, closing her eyes from the rush of embarrassment she felt. She felt Catherine very slowly pick her up bridal style. Soon they were inside their dressing room, where Anne was still nowhere to be seen.
"I'm going to set you down in your chair, okay?"
Anna nodded and felt herself being set down in the familiar chair. She kept her eyes closed. Catherine looked at the younger girl worriedly.
"I'm going to get changed out of this now. Do you just wanna sit here and relax for a little while?"
She only nodded again. Catherine sighed quietly. She started to change back into her lounge clothes and out of her costume.
She was worried about the twenty-year-old. Anna felt very light, too light, in her arms when she picked her up. She had been eating, hadn't she? When was the last time she saw Anna eating? And where in the world was Anne now?
"I'm back!" Shouted the aforementioned queen. It was quiet for a few moments. "Anna? What's wrong?"
Anne was crouching down in front of the slightly younger queen. Anna was biting her nails, looking utterly miserable. There were unshed tears in her eyes.
Catherine quickly finished changing and went back out. She saw that Anne was still in her costume. She set her hand on her shoulder. "Go get changed, I'll see what's up."
Anne looked like she was about to argue but went off to change without arguing. That had to be a first. It showed how worried the second queen really was.
