Pass Out and Internships;;Ally;;33

"Oh shit were not going through this again!"

I shouted as we all rushed to Ella. Christina, Stephanie, and I all roll Ella over on the floor and check her pulse. "Well, she's still breathing," Stephanie looks up at us. "I'll go get Johnny, in the mean time, try lifting her up on the bed." We watch Stephanie run out of the room and we look back at Ella. She wasn't drunk, she didn't drink alcohol at all today. "Christina, let's be honest, Ella is a little heavier than we are, so how are we going to life her?" I ask.

"I'll grab her feet you grab her arms."

With that, we try lifting her up with no success. It wasn't that Ella was fat, because she wasn't. She was just half muscle, half fat. Now that I'm looking at her, she's been looking thinner than usual. "Christina, has she been eating lately?"

"The last I saw her before this was the airport. Have you noticed anything different?"
"If you call her looking tiny like she did when that douche bag Antonio broke up with her, than yeah."

The door opens and in comes Stephanie, Nik, Johnny, Duncan, Patrick, and Brent. We all look at them and wonder why the hell they all came with when we only asked for Johnny. "They were all in Jons room. Can you guys lift her on the bed?" Johnny picked her up bridal style and set her down. "What the hell happened?" Brent asked.

"She passed out. Stephanie, has she been eating lately?"
"Now that you mention it, she hasn't ate much since Kris and her broke up."
"She hasn't slept either," Johnny tells us.
"Do you want us to get the team doctor?" Brent offers.
"No...I know what's wrong I think," Christina says.
"What do you mean?" The boys ask in unison.
"Exactly what did you two talk about just now?" I ask Johnny.
"We were stuck in the elevator, we were talking about sex and who were our firsts. Antonio was hers. He broke up with her senior year."
"Okay, well, when Antonio broke up with her. She was a complete wreck. She didn't eat, she didn't sleep, she was a hot mess. I remember Stephanie and I were over one time and she said her head hurt then she passed out two seconds later. We had to call an ambulance," I tell everyone.
"What exactly happened then?" Patrick asks us.
"She was over exhausted. Go get me a wet towel Christina."

Christina wets a towel and gives it to me as I'm lighting tapping her head with it in hopes that she'll wake up. Duncan pulls out his phone. "Do you want me to call for an ambulance?" He offers when we hear a groan coming out of Ella. Her eyes open and she looks at her surroundings. "What the hell--"

"You passed out, that's all. We were a little worried," Stephanie tells her.
"Stephanie, stay in Patricks room tonight. Jonny, can you stay in here with her?" I ask.
"Yeah, let me go get some of my stuff," he says walking out of the room.

I proceed to follow Jonny and I grab his arm. He turns and looks at me. "Is she over exhausted?" He asks me. I shrug my shoulders. I don't know if Ella is forming an eating disorder again or not. Oh, while I'm at it, I should tell him about that. "Jonny, I'm glad you and Ella are trying to figure things out, but you need to watch out for her."

"What do you mean?"
"After Antonio broke up with her, she stopped eating. She had to go into a clinic after she left the hospital for over exhaustion. It was bad, I didn't want to see my best friend go through that. She didn't sleep for a good month."
"The patterns coming back?"
"I thought she over came it. Kris was her first relationship since Antonio. Then the limo incident...Johnny, just watch over her the next few days," I plead.
"Ally, you have nothing to worry about, I promise."

I meet Brent in mine and Christina's room. We're sitting on the bed. We don't say anything. "Is she going to be okay?" Brent asks me. I nodd my head but I honestly don't have an answer this time. It wasn't as bad as it was now. "I think she'll be fine, look we need to talk about something." I look at Brent and his facial expression drops. "It's nothing bad."

"Don't scare me like that Ally. What's up?"
"I signed up for an internship in Milan."
"What?"
"Yeah, I get to intern for a bunch of photographers if I get it."
"Ally, that's great. When do you find out if you get it?"
"I have an interview for the next internship when I get home."
"Ally, you better take this interview."
"Oh trust me, I will," I smile.

Brent leans over and kisses my forehead. Nik and Christina come in. We all decide to forget about the incident of tonight and watch a movie. Except I can't focus. All I'm picturing is Ella when she was seventeen and blacking out, her being in the hospital, her having to go to the clinic, as if that weren't bad enough, she had to go through therapy. Then Kris and now this...it was all to much right now. I snuggle up into Brents chest and close my eyes.

That was enough drama for the night.
