april 6, 2022

she was in a rut. nothing was going on, she was bored. all everyone talked about was the band's new song, 'take my hand.' it was a good song, not gonna lie, just it was starting to get annoying.

she and luca haven't texted in about 12 hours, he had a break right now, but he was seeing family. she wanted to desperately go to the beach, but her dad kept saying no.

one thing that kept her happy, was that she getting her license in 20 days. she was finally going to be able to drive.

but, she was getting antsy, she wanted to move around. she had to get up and move around. but she couldn't.

she was sitting in the car, backseat, and being driven by her dad. something she dreaded more than doing nothing, was going to the doctor's. she hated it, but she didn't make any fuss about it because she was sixteen, and she wasn't supposed to. she considered herself weak.

as soon as her dad pulled into the parking lot and parked, her anxiety rose. it was almost to an exploding point. she was led into the office, being numb the entire time.

they took her back, and measured her. she was 5'7", and then they weighed her. "112.7 pounds." the nurse muttered.

they were led back to the room, and the nurse started asking questions. she answered each one truthfully. her dad's facial expression changed at each of her answers.

soon enough the nurse was done, and that the doctor would be in, in a few minutes.

"honey, are you okay?"

she nodded no. she was done. tired. numb. before michael could get another word in, the doctor entered. she was the one that they requested.

the doctor did the usual stuff, then she turned to aviana herself. "we need to do some shots and take you to the other wing." she nodded and the doctor told michael what she was doing.

——later

they were back at home, enough for aviana to just literally lay on the couch. she couldn't believe that she was getting diagnosed with an eating disorder.

can't believe it, she thought to herself.

she's been lying on the couch for the longest time, not even getting up to get a snack. just being motionless. everyone decided to come over, once they heard the news.

she was lying on the couch, blanket covering her, and scrolling through her phone. calum came over to her first, smoothing down her hair.

"hey avi." she nodded her head back to him. "you doing okay?" "no, but when you're diagnosed with a eating disorder, that you had no idea of knowing." she sounded irritated, and she was.

"i'm sorry, but we're here to help, if you'll let us." he kissed her forehead, and let the next guy come when they wanted.

luke came up to me next, squatting down next to me. "hey, angel, you're going to be okay." "i'm not luke." she looked down. "you are. we're going to help you out." he kissed her forehead, and went back to the kitchen.

she fell asleep, she's been doing that a lot lately, and slept through dinner, and didn't wake up til right after dinner ended.

she sat up and smelled. it was chicken alfredo, her favorite meal. she groaned, and all talk stopped. she swung her legs over the side of the couch and pulled herself up.

she walked to the entryway and leaned against the doorframe. "dad?" "yes, sweetheart?" "can i have some of that?" "see! i told you she would want some!" crystal smacked my dad's arm lightly.

he surrendered, and let it go. "i'll get you some. what about sides?" "uhh, vegetable medley, and cornbread." "alright, pop a squat next to whoever." he said, and walked into the kitchen.

——later

she was situated in bed, on her phone scrolling through twitter. luca hadn't texted her at all, she thought she did something, because she's not exactly the best with boys.

at 10:30 though, she got a text.

'new message from luca'

she swiped it up, but went to her messages to see what it said.

luca: scusa, amore mio. i miei genitori mi hanno appena detto che hanno già scelto una ragazza per me. non lo voglio!

avi: just trust your parents then

luca: ma non voglio la ragazza che hanno scelto per me.

avi: can't help you there luca.

luca: oh mio dio, cosa sto facendo!

avi: idk what are you doing.

luca: sembri distante...stai bene?

avi: you should just do what your parents want, don't spend your time on me.

luca: dovrei?

avi: yeah, but you deserve someone who is already in italy, not la

luca: va bene. immagino che questo sia un addio.
