She doesn't answer for a while but then she shrugs

"What do you want to eat, I'll make you whatever you want"

She shakes her head

"Babe, you need to eat"

"I'm not hungry" she blurts out talking to me for the first time

"I don't care, you have to eat, you can't starve yourself like this"

I just go into the kitchen and heat up some leftover pasta because I need her to eat as soon as possible

"Here baby" I say handing her a plate and I sit down next to her with a plate, so she'll be more likely to eat

She just stares at her plate and a single tear falls from her eyes

"Please just take one bite"

She doesn't but stares at her food while I take a good look at all of her actions

"I know what you're thinking" she mutters

"What?" I ask confused

"I don't have an eating disorder"

"Baby, you've starved yourself for days" I say empathetically

"I didn't eat because I was too sad to eat without you, not because i was purposefully trying to starve myself" she blurts out still looking at her plate crying

"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry" I say taking her in my arms and placing a gentle kiss on her forehead "I'm really sorry" I say sobbing as she sobs in my arms.

We stay like that for a while

"Will you forgive me?"

She hesitantly nods

And I give her another kiss before I let her go.

She eats slowly, in silence but she finishes all her food

I hug her as we're on the couch staring at the tree, the tvs not on and all you can hear is our breathing

"Would you like to open your presents?"

She shakes her head

"Can I make it up to you for new years? I know it's not remotely the same, but I'd love to try to make it up"

She shakes her head "go with your boyfriend" she blurts out

"I don't want to spend it with Travis I want to spend it with you"

"I have plans"

"With who?"

"Um.. some friends"

"Which friends?"

"Same ones from always, sam and Frankie"

I nod

" I hope you have fun"

"I'm not kidding"

"About what?"

"Fly out to Travis, I know you like spending time with him" she says and I kind of feel like she meant it as an insult

We stay silent for a while

"I'm calling dad to pick me up"

"You don't have to, you can stay here"

"I don't want to"

"That's fine, can I drop you off?"

"Fine"

We get in the car, and the entire ride is silent,

Before she gets off, I hold her hand and stop her

"Kas?"
