I visited her several times, each time I got the exact same reaction

A wide smile, a hug and her catching me up on what I missed,

"You clocked out?" She asked, noticing I didn't have my white coat on anymore.

"Yeah- I'm done for today" I told her, and I saw disappointment run through her face.

I wasn't leaving yet.

"Come on, let's watch a movie"

She let me lay beside her after I turned on a Disney movie.

"Did you eat dinner?" I asked her, taking her focus away from the movie.

"A little" she told me.

"What did Ashton bring you?" I asked her, knowing I was in surgery around the time that she eats.

Ashton entered just as I asked

"A burger that she took maybe three bites of" he spoke, making me glance to her.

"It was wet-" "that's called grease" Ashton laughed lightly.

"I don't like wet food" she spoke simply, making even me laugh.

"Why did they feed you at the house?" I asked her.

I saw her face involuntarily wrinkle.

"Bologna" she spoke, disgust dripping off her voice.

"Just that?" I asked.

"Sometimes a piece of bread with it, but yes, that's it- bologna for eleven years." She mumbled.

"So you haven't tried a lot of foods" I spoke- mainly to myself, and then I had an idea.

I stood, grabbing my keys.

"Where are you going?" She almost panicked.

"I'll be right back" I told her firmly.

"Right back?" She asked.

"Right back." I confirmed.

So I went to probably fourteen different restaurants and brought fourteen different meals back to her.

"Okay angel" I spoke as I entered her room, seeing that she was zoned into the movie.

"You're about to try some new foods."

Together, her and I ate more than she's eaten since she was 5.

I was so fucking proud of how much she was eating- Ashton was even cheering her on.

"The best idea you've ever had" ashton told me as I handed him a plate from Taco Bell- which she hated.

She soon stopped, exhaling

"Try this" I spoke, putting a breadstick to her mouth.

She shook her head

"Just a bite-" "I really don't feel good" she spoke- and as if she just jinxed herself- she instantly stood, running to the bathroom, Ashton and I were right behind her.

And she was throwing up.

"Ate too much" Ashton mumbled, pulling her hair back quickly.

Her stomach wasn't big enough to hold the amount of food we were giving her.

"Ew" she spoke as I quickly wiped her mouth.

"I know" I mumbled to her, rubbing her back gently.

"What happened?" She wined as she involuntarily gagged again.

"Your stomach is small, it can only hold so much food-" "but it's all good" she whined out.

So maybe the fourteen plates wasn't the best idea.

She finally stopped and we got her back into bed, where I instantly started putting the extra food away.

"I wish I could eat more" she mumbled

"Keep that mindset, I'm bringing you good breakfast in the morning."
