Tws: Mental Health, mentions of abuse, eating problems

Eleanor's pov(Three weeks later)

We got some of my stuff set up in my new room. I twisted my ankle but its better now, i still have to wear a brace for a few weeks though.

My knee's still healing, but on the positive, my mental health improving.

Kind of, 

not really.

I'm not scared Eva or Reeve would hurt me, but I still flinch. I get nervous when I talk to them.

I don't know why.

I don't think Eva could even hurt a fly.

Reeve is too weak to do anything.

But it's the thought, I lived with that for years of my life.

It was constant abuse.

I just thought it was normal.

I'm still scared.

Scared that dad will find me.

Or when me, Eva, and Reeve go back for my stuff he'll try to hurt them. Or me.

I have been online since covid.

If I wasn't online my teachers would have probably called child services on me.

They almost did pre-covid.

But I was stupid enough to make fake stories.

And they believed me.

What if Eva and Reeve send me to actual school?

Like with people.

They wouldn't do that if I didn't want it right?

But now they have actual custody over me.

Things may be different.

I don't want to go to school.

I can't talk to people.

It's complicated.

The only people I talk to are the people in Hadestown.

And it's because they do this amazing thing for a living.

They tell some of my favorite greek mythology stories.

And people watch it.

It's amazing. 

I was always made fun of for liking greek mythology.

So I guess it's just cool to see these people who do this for their only income.

I haven't been that hungry.

I guess I never really have.

But especially now.

Maybe its the pain meds.

But I think Eva is concerned.

"Eleanor!" I heard Eva call from the bottom of the stairs

I ran to the stairway

"Yeah?" I replied she walked up the few stairs to see me

"We're going to the Walter Kerr. You comin'?" Eva said smiling, holding a cup of coffee or tea i can't tell from here.

"Yep," I said before grabbing my backpack and running down the stairway.

She looked at me and smiled then looked at Reeve.

He nodded at her.

"What?" I asked. I found out quickly that when Eva looks at Reeve and he nods there's some conversation waiting.
