"cas, i've heard that you stopped eating again."
you said nervously, wondering what her reaction would be. her eyes turned from dazed to angry and you went quiet, waiting for her words. you knew that she would try and push you away but you wanted to help her so much. she plastered a toothy grin onto her face that you knew as fake.
"it's like nobody's fucking business."
