"You scared me"

Tw: ED, divorcing parents

You where just sitting in your room when your phone started ringing
"Hello?"
"Hi kid. It's Flo"
"Oh hi Flo. I-is everything alright?"
"Yes honey, everything is fine. I just thought we haven't talked much lately after the filming was done. Would you like to go out for lunch sometime?"
"Yes, that would be great actually. Thank you"
"Great! When are you available?"
"Anytime. I don't really have much going on right now"
"Does tomorrow sound good?"
"Yes, sounds awesome. T-thank you Florence" you say as you feel your emotions getting high
"Hey is everything okay? You sound like you're about to cry"
"Uhm- I- n-no not really. I-I'll tell you tomorrow alright?"
"Would you like to spend the night with me? I can pick you up?"
"You know what, that would be great actually"
"I'll be at your place in 30 minutes okay honey?"
"Thank you Florence"
"Love you kid. Bye!"
"Bye!"

You sigh and start grabbing you stuff.
You get a text from Flo saying she's there.
You walk passed your parents who are to busy fighting to notice you and get outside. You see Flo standing outside her car with a frown on her face.

You can obviously hear the screaming from outside the house so you know what she heard. You walk towards her and hug her. She rubs your back and separates from the hug to look at your face. You look tired, exhausted. And very pale. She notices a small bruise right above your right eye.
She slowly grabs you chin and looks at it.
"I-it was an accident." You stutter
"Y/n. You don't have to lie"
"Really. He didn't mean to hurt me. It was my own fault. I was just- t-trying to get them to stop fighting."
She sighs with empathy.

"Why don't we get in the car?"
"Yeah sure"
She starts the car and starts driving when she hears your stomach crumble
She laughs at you
"Sorry. I haven't had dinner"
Quickly her laugh fades
"Y/n it's almost 11 pm"
"I know. I didn't have time to cook"
You say looking down
"That's not your job y/n"
You stay silent
"When was the last time you ate?"
"I-I had lunch at school"
"Y/n- "
"I know it's not right. It's just the way it is" you shrug it of
"I'll cook you something at home okay?"
"You don't have to Flo. I'm okay"

Before Flo can respond your already at her place. You get out of the car and both walk inside. You feel at home when you walk in the warm house.
You greet billy the dog and smile at him.
"What do you want y/n? I have pasta, I could also make some filled peppers if you'd like?"
As you listen to her talk your ears start ringing and you begin to see black spots.

As you try to find something to lean onto you knock over a picture frame making it shatter on the ground and grabbing Florence's attention.

Her head snaps in your direction. Before you land on the floor you feel her catching you.
"Woah hey, are you okay y/n? Honey talk to me"
"I'm okay. I'm sorry I'm okay"
"Why don't we go sit on the couch?"
She helps you up making but you lose your balance again. You stumble so she picks you up and Carries you down to the couch.
"Y/n don't lie to me, when was the last time you ate, and don't tell me at school because I don't buy that"
"I-it's was at school" you say looking down
"It wasn't today at school was it?"
You slowly shake your head
"When was it honey?"
"M-Monday"
"Y/n that's two days ago"
"I'm sorry" you whisper.
She kisses your forehead
"Don't be sorry baby. I'm here now"
"Is it okay if I make you some food? You look pale honey"
"I don't want to" you whisper
Florence frowns at your comment
"This isn't about your parents is it?"
You feel yourself drift away as you hear her voice het demped by the ringing in your ears
"Y/n? Can you hear me?"
Your head falls back and Florence lays you down on the couch.
"Y/n please wake up, I'm scared"

//

You wake up in a unfamiliar room.
The only thing you recognize is Florence sleeping on a chair next to the bed. As far as you know you're in the hospital. She you get more aware of your surroundings you see al kinds of wires stuck in your arm. You feel a tube go down your throat.
Tears spring in your eyes
"F-Flo" you stutter crying.
You notice Florence stir a bit
"Flo?" You continues
As soon as she notices your awake and see you crying you see a look of worry on her face
"Hey what's wrong baby?"
"What's going on?" You stres
"Y/n honey calm down okay? You passed out. You're in the hospital."
"P-passed out"
"Yeah baby. You scared me"
"Oh. I-I'm sorry"
"I'm going to get your doctor okay? Will you be okay for a little while alone?"
You nod in response and watch her walk out and walk in soon with a doctor
"Good to see you awake y/n. How are you feeling"
You shrug
"Do you feel any pain?"
"My head hurts."
He grabs a little light and shines it in your eyes
"Did she hit her head when she fell?"
He asks Flo
"N-no"
"It seems that you have a concussion. Do you have any idea where that comes from?"
"I-I'm pretty sure I passed out yesterday evening to. Maybe then?" You say
"Was there anyone with you then?"
"Y-yeah my parents. But they didn't notice so they won't know"
"Alright. Your vitals all seem good, im going to give you some medicine against the pain and you should be good okay?"
"Thank you" you say smiling

The doctor walks out and all Florence's attention gets back to you.
"I'm really worried about you right now y/n. I dont know what i would do if something likes this happens again"
You look down feeling guilty
"You don't have to feel guilty peanut. You just scared me okay?"
"I heard m-my dad scream mean things a-about my mom. A-about her body. I just thought t-that I-if he felt like that about her I-I should change too. I-I guess it was easier to do when no one is paying attention to me. I just went to far. I know my body doesn't define me. I don't know why I did this"
Florence strokes you head
"Why didn't you call me, baby? This whole thing with your parents is affecting you way to much"
"I just didn't want to bother you"
"Y/n y-"
"I'm know I'm not bothering you. I know that know."
"Good"

"We are going to figure this out okay?"
"Okay. I-I love you Florence"
"I love you to honey"
