AN: We are near the end of Never Too Thin! ::cries:: maybe a few more chapter s(2) after this one!
~*~*~
I hear a soft knock at the door.
I'm silent, wishing they'd go away.
But, they come in anyway.
I sigh.
"Sweetie?" It's my mother's voice, she lays her hand softly on my shoulder and I jerk away.
"Leave me alone! You can't make me eat! Where's Casey?"
I know I'm laying to many questions on then all at once, and not making sense doing it. But, I must know.
"Where's Casey!" I scream at the top on my longs.
It's not longer a question.
It's a demand.
"I want to see Casey!"
I continue to scream for my teacher.
I continue to scream for my partner.
I continue to scream for my friend!
I scream and scream until my throat it dry and soar.
I did not realize the doctor is there, sticking a needle in my arm.
I cry and whisper repeatedly, "Where's Casey? Where's Casey?"
I continue this until I start to become sleepy, my vision is blurred, and I fall asleep.

Later that Day outside of Serena's room.
Everyone stood up when they seen Mr. And Mrs. Hertz walking down the hall holding each other.
"Elizabeth…" Serena's mother walked to the small woman, who smiled weakly at her.
"Irene…"
"If there's anything, we can do ju…just tell us."
"There is…one thing. Keep your daughter safe. Don't let her die, do all that you can do, unlike we did."
At that second Elizabeth Hertz started crying. "Protect your daughter." Was the last thing they said before walking away to the elevator.
~*~*~
That Night.
Serena woke up in a strange dark room. The only light she had was the moon shinning through the window.
It took a few seconds but then she remembered where she was.
"Casey…?"
Silence.
"Casey!"
The light abruptly turned on as nurse Sarah walked in.
"Sweet calm down you-"
"NO!" Serena cut her off, "Where's Casey? I want to see Casey!"
"Dear, not now. Please."
Serena started crying again.
"Why…?"
She heard the door open again as more people came into the room, doctors, family, and friends.
Her eyes scanned the whole room.
"Why can't I see her? Is she dead or something!"
When no one answered, she took that as a yes.
"Oh no…"
At the top of her lungs she started screaming!
"NO! CASEY!"

Serena's Mother
There use to be a time when motherhood was easy.
Now, I wish those times would come back.
I never thought my little girl would have to go through this.
I want to help, but I don't know how!
The doctors keep saying 'Be there for her.'
What if that isn't enough smarty , huh?
This proves it isn't.
I don't know how long I've been sitting in this chair.
Stroking my little girls' hair.
Her hair was once, beautiful, full and bright.
Now it is dull, limpy and an off yellow color.
I see her shiver a bit, she's been doing this now and then.
It's from lack of fat and mussels. Without those you cannot create body heat.
I stand up barley off of my chair and I lift the covers around her neck.
I kiss her cold, and sweaty forehead.
Hoping she'd wake up.
She completely blacked out after finding out about Casey's' death.
My baby, don't hurt your self anymore.
Please.
I reach under the blankets to retrieve one of her small thin hands.
I stare at it, her nails are yellow, knuckles sore, and fingers callused.
I feel my eyes starting to burn and I realize I'm going to cry.
I hold on to my baby girl's hand.
"Sweetie, please wake up…I love you."
I remember reading once, that some young girl's mothers make them bulimic.
I didn't understand what the big deal was then.
However, now, who in the hell would want their child to be like this.
To be helpless, and near death?
Many thoughts run through my head as I sit there and watch my little baby.
I sit there until my husband comes.
He nearly has to force my hand away from Serena's and pushes me out the door.
But, I run back in giving her a kiss on the forehead and leaving, saying, I'll be back.

Father's POV
When I hear my wife leave I sit down in the chair my wife had once occupied.
Taking Serena's hand, I kiss it.
I stare at her face, and I notice her lips are parted and chapped.
I take some lip balm from my pocket I apply some to her lips.
There.
She still looks sick.
I thought I was doing everything right.
Protecting her from anything that could hurt her; boys, bad friends, drugs, just plain evil.
I never thought about protecting her from and eating disorder.
I thought, this wouldn't come into our family, or any family.
I though if you loved someone enough they would be ok!
Was I wrong?
Is this a sign that I was?
I never cried, except at my wedding and the birth of my children.
I found myself crying now.
"Don't take her." I pray.
I sigh hoping my prayers would be answered.
"Wake up, Bunny-chan"
I kiss her hands again.
She shivers.
But she's sweating.
I adjust the blanket a bit to keep her warm but not too warm.
I start thinking about her as a child.
I remember the happy times and I start tell the stories to her out loud.
"Do you remember when…"

So? So? So? I like this chapter it shows more emotions! Review!
