Your mom walks into sarah's room at 4 pm seeing her daughter laying down in bed with the curtains closed, food on the plate next to her from yesterday.

Deborah : sarah it has been 4 months since Flo left, I thought you'd get over it by now.
She doesn't respond.
Deborah: come on! Say something
Sarah: she is the only one that gets me, you wouldn't understand.
Her mom leaves and decides to do the last thing she wanted to do, bother Florence.

Flo: hey mom! Is everything okay?
Deborah: with me yes. But Your sister needs you
Flo: what do you mean?
Deborah: since you left she hasn't eaten probably, the only thing she does is get up go to school come back and jump into bed in a dark room crying and sleeping. I don't know what is wrong with her. Florence you are her safe place.

Flo is the only one sarah ever told about her mental problems, she helped her get off sh and learned her how to eat healthy. When she heard this her heard sank out of worry because she knew what her little sister was doing to yourself,

Flo: send her to me
Deborah: what? No. She doesn't need to bother  you
Flo: she is not a bother! She is my little sister who needs me.
Deborah: but I can't take her all the way to America, I have a job
Flo: send her on a plane. Il pick her up.
Deborah: uhhm I don't know
Flo: please mom, just trust me
Deborah: fine, I'll text the details.

Sarah: bye

After a long flight sarah finally lands at the airport. She walks out the gate and sees the person she's  been longing for for 4 months. She walks up to her holding in her tears. Florence opens her arms to her little sister and as soon as she lets herself melt into her protective arms you break down crying.

Flo: shhh I've got you now, we will figure this out together okay? I promise.

Flo continues to whisper sweet words into her little sisters ear and strokes her head. After 2 minute she has calmed down and she is completely exhausted now since that today is the most shes  moved in 4 months

Flo: let's get home?
She nods, still haven't said a word

They arrive at flo's house and she lets sarah in.
Flo: why don't you put something colder clothes on? I bet its a lot warmer here.
Sarah thinks  about her wrist and she begins to stress
Sarah: I-uhh I-I can't
Flo: oh honey, did you do it again?
She slowly nods.
Flo: can I see it?
She slowly roll up her sleeves revealing fresh wounds all over her left wrist, stil bleeding.
Flo: oh Sarah, can I wrap them up for you? They are still bleeding
Sarah nods again
Flo wraps up her wrist
Flo: now that I know about this you can go change. And just so you know, you don't have to hide those scars. They're "battle scars"
She says giving sarah a "im proud of you" nod
Sarah  goes to  change into some colder clothes:

She kisses her little sisters forehead and is about to leave.
Sarah: Florence?
Flo: yeah?
Sarah: can you stay?
