Don't Tell

What have I done?

Lana sat on the couch. "So she stayed with you? The entire time?"
     Lia gripped Alex's hand tightly. "She was kind enough to let me stay then one thing led to another." She said softly.
    Lana took a breath. "I went to see you. At your performance."
    Lia looked at her. "You did?"
   Lana nodded. "You did great. I was so proud."
       Alex squeezed her hand.
  Lana looked back at Lia. "You're still so thin." She whispered.
   Lia looked at her lap. "I'm back. I've been here for less than ten minutes and that's all you have to say?"
     "No no Lia. Don't be like that. I'm just worried. I don't want anything bad to happen to you." Lana said.
      Alex kissed Lia's cheek. "You okay?"
   Lia took a breath. "Yes. I'll be fine." She said softly.
        Lana stood up. "Alex where are to staying?"
   Alex looked at Lia. "My apartment."
     Lana spins round and locked eyes with her. "Where are your parents Alex?"
     Alex swallowed and looked at her lap. "I live there alone. My mother and father kicked me out when I was younger and my father passed away recently."
     Lana ran her fingers through her hair. "You can't stay alone."
     "So I've heard." Alex said. "I've managed fine on my own for a year now."
    Bex walked into the room with a glass of water. "And now you can't. Listen you can stay with me. But now that I know that you were alone then I can't let you stay alone anymore."
Alex sighed and looked at Bex. "I know."

It's been three weeks. Alex is staying with Bex and Lia and Lana's relationship is strained to no end.
Lia looked at Alex. "You know what? I didn't care! You can't tell me how I can or can't live my life!"
Alex threw her hands up. "I just want you to stay safe! Maybe your mother is right! Maybe you should give up acting for a little bit!"
Lia looked at Alex. "Get out."
Alex dropped her arms. "What?"
Lia glared at her. "Get out. Get the hell out of my life." She snapped.
Alex looked at her. "Lia-"
"Go!" She yelled. "Get the hell away from me."
Alex felt tears prick her eyes. She walked out of the room.
Lia walked to her window and watched Alex run down the sidewalk. She let out a shaky breath and felt tears stream down her cheek. She had to do this.
Lia walked downstairs and stared dinner. She set the table and waited for Lana to come home.
Lana walked in a few hours later. "Hey sweetie. How was your day?"
Lia shrugged and set the food on the table.
Lana looked around. "I thought Alex was staying for dinner."
Lia set her plate and sat down. "She's not." She snapped.
Lana looked at her in shock. "Lia what's wrong? What happened?"
Lia took a bite of her meal. "Nothing."
Lana decided to take that as an answer. "Okay. Uh- so I'll be filming tomorrow. Bex will be home. You can visit with Alex if you want. Just call me and tell me your plans." Lana said.
Lia nodded and took another bite. She was going to eat enough food in her day if it killed her. She was not going to give up acting.
The two ate in silence. Lia finished and excused herself upstairs. She locked her bathroom door and opened her phone. Alex hadn't texted or called. Lia sat on the side of the tub and sighed. "What have I done?" She asked herself.
Lia filled her bath with water and stripped down and got in. She listened to the water fill around her and she closed her eyes, submerging Herself under. She heard her heart beating rapidly in her head. She heard her breath and heard muffled pounding on the door. She opened her eyes and looked through the blurry water. The water filling higher and higher every second.
