It was late. Jessie had just finished tucking Zuri, Ravi, and Luke into bed. It had been a long day, when she brought Emma home from the hospital the teen had locked herself in her room and hadn't come out since. Jessie had spent the day on auto pilot, going through the motions of her nanny duties, while she was worried sick over Emma.

Jessie knocked on Emma's door, "Emma, sweetie?" There was no answer. Jessie tried to open the door but it was locked. She removed a hair pin from her bun and put it inside the lock on the door. She jiggled it around and after a minute she heard a click signaling that the door had unlocked. She slipped the pin back into place in her hair and slowly opened Emma's door.

Emma was sitting on the edge of her bed, her hands folded in her lap. She kept her head down and didn't look at Jessie when she entered the room. She had her pajama's on, a pink tank top with white pants with light pink pin strips. She was looking thinner than usual, her thin frame looking fragile and the 15 year old appeared younger than her age.

Jessie approached her slowly and took a seat on the other side of the bed opposite Emma. There was a long silence between the two of them. "Emma," Jessie started and paused a moment to think about what she wanted to say, "you know that I care about you right?" Emma didn't say anything. Jessie moved to stand in front of Emma and kneeled down in front of her. Jessie held Emma's hands. "Emma you're like my family, I love you like family, and I'm worried about you."

"well don't." Emma said standing up and moving away from Jessie.

"Please, let me in. I just want to help you."

Emma began to sob and buried her head in her hands in complete despair. Jessie pulled her into her and hugged her tight. Emma wrapped her arms around Jessie the pair stood in the embrace and Emma finally allowed herself to trust Jessie. She pulled away from her and swallowed hard before finally speaking. "Jessie, I…" she words caught in her throat, "I, stopped eating" she couldn't bring herself to look into her face.

"What!" Jessie shouted, "why would you do something like that?"

"I'm fat and my friends are all thin, and boys only like thin girls, and I can't stand my body." She sobbed.

"Oh my god" Jessie whispered and pulled Emma back into a hug. This time she couldn't imagine letting her go.
