I sat my phone down and hid under my covers as yet another string of wet coughs erupted from my body. I probably looked half dead, and Beyoncé wants to come see me?

I can barely move to even make myself half presentable. I probably look like an amoeba or something.

Not that I should care... right? I mean, she calls me pretty every day. Especially when I dress down. But I like looking good... in her presence I guess. Not for her because we don't dress to impress over here. I just like the attention she gives me.

It makes me feel like when I was a little kid and my dad would shower me in compliments when I pretended to model any new clothes I got.

Bey calls me 'pretty girl' and 'beautiful' and many other things that just make my heart melt.

But I look like a zombie right now and my nose won't stop running.

I sat up in bed and complained about the mess I had made with the tissue and snacks that I binge ate because I was sad. I looked down at my thighs and frowned, have they always looked that big or am I just delirious?

"Am I fat?" My eyes watered.

I rushed to my bathroom and nearly screamed at my own reflection. I lifted my shirt a little and turned to the side, still looking in the mirror. I sucked in my gut, holding my breath before releasing and nearly bawling.

New insecurity unlocked.

"I'm fat!" I cried.

The doorbell rang so I had to collect myself quickly. I pulled my curls into a messy bun before I washed my face and moisturized it. I grabbed my big blanket and covered my entire body, letting it drag behind me while I made my way to answer the door.

BB smiled down at me with her hands behind her back but quickly that smile turned into a frown. "What's wrong, dove?"

My bottom lip quivered but I quickly shook my head and let her in. "I missed you, but I don't wanna get you sick." I rasped. I tried clearing my throat but that did absolutely nothing.
