Rihanna's P.O.V
The next morning at the hospital
I run my finger through Chanel's hair as she's sleeping peacefully beside me. My husband phone started going off. I reached for it and answer it, so it doesn't wake him.
"Hey, Meek, I answer quietly. Yeah, he's sleeping. mmhh she doing okay. Yeah, that's fine. I will tell him to call you back when he wakes up. Okay, see you then. Bye." I ended the call and put Rick's phone on silence.
"Who was that?" I heard my husband's raspy morning voice asked.
I looked over at him. He's still laying in bed with his eyes barely open.
I put his phone back down "Meek, I told him you will call him back when you wake up. Did I wake you?"
"Nah, I need to get up anyway."
"Babe, go back to sleep you don't have to get up right now. You was up all night watching Chanel sleep."
"Nah I'm awake now. What time is it?"
"A little over nine."
He nodded "how long you been up?"
"About an hour."
He got up from the pullout bed. "Alright let me use the restroom, and I will go get us some breakfast." he said and let out a yawn.
"You tired babe." I told him. "You need to stop being stubborn and get back in bed. I can send Chris to get us some food."
"I'm good baby" he said and left to use the restroom.
A couple of minutes after he walked out of the bathroom. He grabbed his hoodie off the back of the chair and put it, then put on his Gucci slides.
He walked over to me and kissed my lip. "Good morning baby" he greeted.
"Good morning" I smiled.
"What do you feel like eating." he asked.
"Whatchu you wanna eat?" I flipped the question on him.
"I'm not craving anything special so whatever you want to get food from is where Imma get food from too."
"You can get me my usual from IHOP and Chanel's too."
"Can she eat food out of the hospital, and is she even going to eat it."
"The doctor said it's okay. She's going to eat it alright even if I have to shove it down her damm throat."
"Alright I will be back."
"Okay. Hurry up I am starving."
He chuckled "I should be back in a hour" he said and kissed my forehead then Chanel's before heading out.

"Come in" I said when someone knocked on the door. The door open and Ariel came running into the room carrying a bouquet of balloons and my mother following behind her.
She walked straight up to Chanel's "I was so scared are you okay" Ariel said.
Chanel sat up and pulled her into a hug. "I'm okay Ari."
"You promise" Ariel asked.
Chanel smile "I promise."
Ariel nodded. "I got you some balloons. I also got some games, so you don't be bored."
"Aww, thank you. You're the best sister ever."
Ariel blush "you welcome." she said and put the balloons and games on the table by Chanel.
My mom kissed Chanel's forehead "How you doing there sweetie."
"I'm good nana."
"You scared us there for a minute."
"I know, and I'm sorry" Chanel said quietly.
"There's nothing to be sorry for. I'm just glad that you're okay." my mom said and sat down in the chair by Chanel.
Ariel walked over to me "Hey mommy" She smiled.
"Hey, baby" I said as I picked her up and sat her on my lap.
"Where is daddy?" she asked.
"He went to get us some food he should be back shortly." At that moment Rick walked into the room with our food in his hands.
Ariel got off my lap and rushed to her dad "Hi daddy." she said cheerfully.
He put the food on the table "Hey Ari." he said and leaned down to kissed her cheeks.
"I was just asking about you."
He smiled "Oh yeah."
"Yep" Ariel said and sat down beside my mother.
"Here you go, babe" Rick said handing me my food.
"Thank you!" I said, smiling from ear to ear. I'm hungry as hell. I sat my drink on the little table by me and placed the food in front of me. I quickly reached in the bag and pulled my food out.
I live for IHOP stake omelette It is the best.
Rick walked over to Chanel and put her food in her lap. "you need to make sure you eat all of it" he said in a matter of fact tone.
"Okay." she replied and pulled out her food.

Chanel's P.O.V
It's has been Twenty four hours of nonstop nurses, doctors, check ins, and check ups, but hey, I'm still here, and breathing. The past twenty four hours had been a blur. I have too many medications in my system that I'm not really sure what's going. Of course, I know how I got here, but I haven't taken it all in. It truly had been miserable.
My parents have been watching my every move, and I know it will only get worse when I go back home.
They have been asking me why I starved myself, but I didn't have an answer to that. because the truth of the matter is I don't even know myself, apart from the fact that I have been having fears of gaining weight, which sounds stupid I know.
My parents have been forcing me to eat a lot of food than usual which I don't blame them for, but every time I eat, I fell sick to my stomach and want to throw up. It's not like I could throw it up even if I wanted too, because my bathroom trips are being monitored.
I never meant for it to get this far. At first, it was a one-time thing, but then it happened again and again until I couldn't control it anymore.
My aunt Lanie and Nicki came over about thirty minutes ago and took my mom to the cafeteria, and my dad took Ariel to her ballet class.
I final had time to myself thank God for that because I'm so tired of the concern, sympathy, and questions honestly. I know they mean well, but I don't need them to pity me. I'm aware of what happened, and I don't need anyone feeling sorry for me. I put myself in this position, I know that.
My doctor said that after I leave the hospital, I will have to see a psychiatrist, and a nutritionist. I wasn't opposed to the idea because clearly, I need all the help I can get. However I'm not looking forward to it, but I have to suck it up because I do want to get better.
My nurse walked into the room. "Hey, Chanel, I'm just here to give you your last med for the day."
Ughh and I am so tired of all these damm medications too. "Okay" I mumbled.
She handed me the pills and a cup of water. I took the pills.
"How do you feel?" she asked.
"Fine, I guess." I said handing her the cup.
"Is there anything else I can get you?"
"No." I mumbled she nodded and left the room.
As soon as she left Bebe came walking into the room
"Hey cuz." she said
"Hey."
"Damm, you look like death warmed over."
I laughed. I can always count on Bebe for the jokes; that's why she's my other half. "I feel like it."
She sat on the the bed.
"you just been laying here all day bored?" she asked.
"Yep."
"You don't have your phone, or computer nothing how are you functioning."
"Nope, my parents took my phone, so I have zero communication with the outside world. I'm not complaining though because I know that by now the media have gotten ahold of me passing out, and the last thing I need is to see people speculating about what's going on."
"True. You don't have any games or something."
"Actually, I do. Ariel brought me some. It's over there on the table."
"Aww, she's so sweet." Bebe said and got the games.
She put them all on the bed "Which one do you wanna play?"
"UNO".
"Okay" she said opening the deck of UNO cards.
.........................🌼
Thirty minutes into the game, and I was honestly having fun. Bebe is taking my mind off my current situation.
I heard the door opened and I looked towards the door. Skai walked into the room, looking mad as hell.
"Why didn't you tell me? I asked you if you was starving yourself and you lie to me! Why did you lie to me, you know how that makes me feel. This hole thing could have been prevented if you had told someone Chanel!" Skai screamed glaring at me.
I frowned "Yeah what would you have done if I had told you."
"I would have told your parents, so you don't go killing yourself!"
I scoffed "see that's exactly why I didn't tell you."
"You just don't get it, Chanel, I fell guilty because I had a feeling you were doing that, but I didn't tell your parents" she cried.
I sighed. "Skai there it's nothing we can do about it now it's already done we can't go back and change things, so there are no what-ifs."
She frowned "you acting like this is not serious."
"You think I don't know how serious this is! I'm the one who's sitting in this hospital bed, and in pain after going through surgery! I'm the one sitting here feeling miserable, so don't stand there and tell me how serious this is because trust me, I know!"
She sighed "I just wish I could have helped you before it had gotten this far."
I threw the cards I was holding sending it flying in all directions "I don't need your help Skai!! So leave me the hell alone!" I yelled.
My mom, Nicki, and my aunt Lanie rushed into the room. They most have hard our screaming match.
"Hey, hey what's going on here" my mom asked looking at Skia then me.
"I want her out of my room!" I screamed.
"What!" Skai said.
"You heard me."
"There's no need for that Chanel" my mom said.
"I don't care; I want her gone! I'm tired of everyone giving me pity looks and feeling sorry for me. I did this to myself, not you, so stop feeling sorry for me!And I'm tired of everyone treating me like I am about to break or something. I just want to be left alone!!!!"
Everyone stood there looking at me completely taking back by my outburst.
My mom walked closer to me "listen here little girl you need to drop all that damm attitude.We are all here because we love you, and want to make you feel better because that's what family do. I know it may be a little overbearing for everyone to be watching your every move and looking after you, but we do that because we care Chanel, so you need to appreciate that and stop being a selfish little brat do you understand me!" She said glaring at me.
I laid down and pulled the cover to my neck as tears rolled down my face "I'm tired I just want to rest" I said quietly.
"Fine you do that. Come on y'all let's go, so she can rest and hopefully get up with a better attitude" My mom said and walked out of the room with everyone following behind her.
After they all left the room, I pulled the cover over my head and cried myself to sleep.
........................🌼
When I got up three hours later my aunt, Lanie was sitting on the sofa.
(Lanie)
I guess she felt my eyes on her because she looked up. "Hey hon." she said moving to sit in the chair by my bed. I watch her get situated.
"Hey" I said hoarsely.
"You know the way you want off on Skai was wrong she felt terrible that you in this position."
"I know I guess I was just frustrated with everything that been going on, and I guess I needed someone to take my frustration on. Is she still here?" I asked sitting up.
"Yeah she's with your mom and Bebe in the private waiting room."
I nodded "could you please get her I need to talk to her."
"Yeah sure." she said leaving the room.
A couple of minutes later Skai walked into the room. "Hey" I said
"Hey." she said dryly.
"I'm sorry" we both said at the same time and laughed.
"Come here." I said padding the space beside me. She walked over and sat down.
"I'm sorry for being such a bitch to you. You didn't deserve that."
"It's okay we can blame it on the medications."
I laughed "yeah those medications really get you."
"Yep I remember when I took my appendix out, I was going off on everyone."
I laughed "hug" I said opening my arms out.
She hugged me. "I'm really sorry Skai."
"It's okay Chanel."
"Okay, you wanna play UNO."
"Sure" she said and got the cards from the table. "I'm bout to whoop your ass."
I laughed "in your dreams Skai."
