(Three days later)
I stood up next to Lola's side, with a sad thought. I'm leaving today. I sat up and looked at the window. "What's wrong?" Lola asks me. "I don't want to leave yet." I sigh. "Come here." I get closer and she hugs me. "Hey, you're not leaving yet, we still have 8 hours." She chuckled, but I stayed silent. This was the best thing that happend in my life in the past five years and I don't want it to end yet. "I promise you, everything will be alright. You're gonna come back soon and we're gonna have fun again."

We stayed in bed for a couple minutes until Bella said we should come downstairs for breakfast. I remember her making the best pancakes ever every time I came by. All of us we're eating and everyone was talking. Except me, I kept thinking about how my life will change again when I go back. I managed to not eat and throw it away without anybody noticing.

These three days we did a lot. We went to the movies, visited a lot of places here in Belgium and went to an amusement park. Today we're just staying at the house for the last time with everyone.

Lola keeps telling me that I live her dream life, but for me this isn't a dream life. I just want my mom back and live in Belgium again. Unfortunately that's impossible.

Demi's pov:
This week has been amazing. I feel like my relationship with Ally has grown so much. Before this trip, we didn't even had one conversation. This week she talked back when I asked her something. You might think this is a little weird, but I'm so happy she talks to me.

I never really saw her smile, until now, I know how much this means to her, so I'm really glad me and Lauren have decided this. Unfortunately we have to go back at 7pm. Today we were all pretty tired, so we decided we'd stay in Bella's house. I already packed my suitcase and so did Lauren, but I don't think Ally did, so I'm going to check on her.

I knocked on Lola's door. "Come in." Lola said silent. Ally was asleep next to her and it looked really cute. "Hey." I smiled. "Hey." "I just wanted to check on her, but I'll come back later." She nod. I walked outside when Lola called my name. I turned around. "Yes?" "Can I speak to you for a minute?" "Ofcourse." She quietly got off the bed and led me into the balcony and closed the door. "What do you wanted to talk about?" I asked her.

"Look, I know Allison for almost my whole life and she's like a little sister to me, so I have to tell you something about her, that might help you with her." I nod and let her know to continue. "Her and my mom were really good friends, so we often ate at each other. I noticed around Allison's ninth birthday she suddenly would eat less. I asked her about it and she told me she was trying this new diet. We were really young and at that time and I didn't really knew what she meant, but I'm having the feeling that Allison has an eating disorder. She's always odd around food and it actually scares me that she's still struggling with it. She has been through hell and back and this is the last thing that should worry her. I'm telling you this because I trust you and I know you can help her. You have also struggled with it and you know how to deal with it. Please take good care of her. She don't deserves all of this." A tear tolled over her cheek. "I know honey and I'll do my best to help her, okay, don't worry. Allison is the best thing that happend to me. She is a beautiful young girl and I care about her so much." I wipe her tear with my thumb.
She smiles and give me a hug.

We go back inside the room and I see that Ally is awake. "Where were you?" "Just on the balcony, watching the streets." Lola says. "Hey honey, can you make your suitcase, please. Kelsey already want them in the car and you know how she gets when things doesn't get her way." I say. She nods and smiles. "Do you need help?" I ask her. "No, I'm good." "I'll help her." Lola insist. "Okay just call me when you're done." I close the door and go downstairs. Now I'm sure she has an eating disorder, I'm gonna watch her and make sure she eats.
