I almost ran her to the bathroom, where she immediately threw up into the toilet.

I held her hair, hitting my pager for Calum.

"You're okay" I spoke to her, rubbing her back gently as she whined out.

After several minutes of her wiping tears and recollecting herself she gave a nod, flushing the toilet.

"I'm good" she spoke out quietly, letting me drop her hair.

I watched as she brushed her teeth, never looking to her reflection in the mirror.

"Why aren't you looking at yourself?" I asked her, seeing her eyes meet mine before she spit, rinsing her mouth slowly.

"What?" She spoke quietly, still not looking to the mirror.

"I've been around plenty of girls- I know for a fact that they always take the opportunity to look at themselves in a mirror, but I haven't seen you do it even once" I spoke, moving closer to her.

"I just- haven't" she shrugged, almost whispering.

"Then do it" I spoke simply.

She kept our eye contact for a moment before looking to the mirror.

Once I looked, I saw she was looking at me.

"Look at yourself" I spoke, putting my hands onto her shoulder gently.

She looked down before I slowly saw her gaze go back to the mirror, she finally looked to herself.

"You know you're beautiful, right?" I spoke to her, immediately noticing the tears looking into her eyes.

She shook her head, looking back down.

"You are" I quickly assured her, touching her chin to slowly make her look into the mirror again.

"I don't know what you see- but if it's anything but beautiful, you're lying to yourself" I whispered, watching her quickly move to wipe a tear away.

"I'm dizzy" she mumbled lightly.

"You need to sleep that relaxer off" I spoke, taking her hand and leading her to her bed.

I covered her up as she laid down, watching her turn on her side to face me.

"You can't take it out?" She mumbled, motioning to her arm slowly.

"You need it, but just for tonight" I spoke, tucking hair behind her ear slowly.

"Thank you for texting me that you were coming here" I spoke to her quietly, watching her green eyes look into my blue ones.

I suddenly saw tears invading them again.

"Please talk to me" I whispered, holding her hands into mine.

"I can't" she cried out, covering her face, making me immediately pull her hands away.

"Why can't you?" I spoke, making her look to me.

A tear slipped from one of her eyes as she spoke

"I don't want anyone to know what happened to me" she cried.

"Too many people already know- I don't want you to think differently of me" she cried out.

"Mila- I would never-"

"Why do you think I don't talk, Luke?" She cried out, steady trying to get her hands out of my own.

I stared to her

"I don't talk to anyone because I told myself I would never trust anyone- I swore to myself I would never let anyone have control over me, but y-you're so different" she cried out, her forehead hitting my hands as she cried out

"Y-you make me wa-want to tell you everything"
