silk and bone

❝Blurs of colors passed by Finley's eyes. She knew there was a hand on her waist, but she stared on, not knowing whose hand it was. All she knew was Bedisa had hit her rock-bottom.❞

Finley McDonough and Bedisa Karimov have always been there for each other. But as soon as anorexia sucker-punches Bedisa in the stomach, their relationship crumbles and falls, leaving Bedisa alone and Finley with her sort-of boyfriend Alan Clearwater.

Then one day, at a track meet of Bedisa's, she passes out on the red, bumpy lane, and is sent to the hospital, leaving her grandmother, mother, father, and sister Elisabete-Xatia to figure out her eating disorder.

How can you love someone so much even when the last time you shared a proper conversation, you ended up running out of their house with a bag of Cheetos clipped between your fingers and having obscenities shouted at you?
