I woke up the next day and groaned loudly. Shit. I had been sleeping on my stomach. Although the cuts hadn't opened again, it felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach. Oh wait.

Catty came in from sleeping on the couch.

"You okay?" She asked.

"Nope. I slept on my stomach and now it hurts like hell." I moaned.

"You idiot. Sit up, I'll bring you your food." Catty sighed, smiling.

I pushed myself up and grabbed my from my bedside table. I scrolled through my contacts, finding the college reception number.

"Hello?"

"Hi this is Emma Daggery. I can't come into lessons. The stomach pain has gotten worse and I need to rest, according to my friend." By which I meant Phil.

"Of course dear. I'll contact your teachers for today and tell them you won't be in. Anything else love?" She asked.

"No thank you. Bye!"

"Goodbye dear."

I ended the call and placed my phone back on the table, groaning loudly as my stomach growled.

"Gah you must be in a lot of pain. It's not faaaaair. I want to get Phil so he can take care of you and be adorable." Catty moaned.

I giggled and put my arms out, asking for my food. Catty gave me a hug.

"Well I wanted my food but this works." I smirked.

"Oh shut up. You love my hugs." She laughed.

I stuck my tongue out at her and she did the same, giving me my tray of food. I slowly munched down, not really wanting to eat. But she was watching my every move.

"Hey don't you go watch TV or something?" I suggested.

"Because the second I leave you're gonna hide your food and pretend you ate it. I'm your best friend remember?" She smiled.

I sighed and gave her the tray back, turning in my side so I was facing the wall.

"I'm not hungry." I sighed, clutching my pillow.

"I....I just don't want you to....stop eating. I know that you don't eat sometimes but what if Phil took you to a restaurant? You'd barely eat a thing. We need to train you to eat more." Catty smiled.

"I don't want to eat more. I don't to be fat." I sighed.

"You look at me and you continue looking until I'm done." She ordered, a stern shout almost coming through.

I sighed and rolled over, looking at her.

"You are no where near fat you are skinny as heck and need to eat more because if you don't you'll never be strong enough to fend for yourself if Phil isn't there or he can't help you. You need strength, which is currently something you're lacking." Catty snapped.

I sighed and fell back against my pillow. As much as I didn't want to admit it, Catty was right.

I woke up again later in the day and stood up. My stomach pain had gone now but my lessons were over. Well, at least I didn't have to miss Art tomorrow. I got dressed and went out, forgetting my crutches and Catty.

I walked about, hands in pockets. My head was down, I didn't really want to speak to anyone anyway. I ended up walking somewhere with literally 0 people. I got kind of worried about being ambushed but enjoyed my own company.

"Hey doll." An evil voice chuckled.

I froze. No. Please no. Not you.

"Where you been? We've got some catching up to do babe." He smirked, coming closer.
