Tom & Tara come home from the mall to find Sara on the ground in the fetal position with 4 new cuts on her wrists crying. They slam the door & run over to where Sara's lying. Tara starts to cry. "Sara what happened?"

"She came back."

"Who?"

"My monster. She said that i'm fat, ugly & miserable. I told her that i'm happy & skinny. She said that I am not. She called me lier." She sniffs. Tom comes back from the kitchen with a wet washcloth & put it on Sara's wounds & starts crying.

"Baby, you were doing so good. Why did you cut yourself?"

"I didn't do it."

"Then who did?"

"My monster. She did it to me. I tried to get her to stop, but she wouldn't. I had to take the knife out of her hands & throw it in the corner. I tried to tell her to stop & that everything is good, I really did, but she wouldn't stop... She just wouldn't stop." Sara starts crying again, but harder.

"Baby it's okay. We'll protect you from the monster & make sure she never comes back."

"It's not okay. You guys can't be around me all the time. She'll come back just like she did when you guys were at the mall, except something worse might happen."

"Like what?"

"Like I could end up in the hospital." Sara keeps on crying. Tom & Tara take her over to the couch & sit her down.

"Shhh.. You'll be fine."

"Ya. She's right. You'll be fine. You have people who love you & don't worry we won't tell you're mom or anyone else."

"Promise?" She sniffs. She looks up & notices that Tara's crying & Tom has tears in his eyes. "Baby what's wrong. Why do you have tears in your eyes?"

"Because you're right. I can't protect you all the time from you're evil monster, but" Tom starts crying.

"But what?"

"The thing is that you're going to have to protect yourself from the monster."

Sara looks at him funny. "What the hell do you mean?"

"I mean that you'll have to block her out whenever she comes a knocking. You'll have to say no. You'll have to protect yourself. I mean we'll protect you, but like you said we can't protect you all the time. There will be tons of times where you'll be by yourself & she'll come into your head saying that you're worthless which you are not."

"Sara, he's right, But I think you can do it."

"Me too."

Sara stares at them for a minute. "I think I can too. I'm so glad to have to behind me on this. I love you guys so much. You care so much about me that you're willing to do anything to keep me from getting worse. I know you don't want to loose me & I don't want to loose you guys."

"And yes we promise we won't tell anyone about this. This will be our own little secret."

Sara smiles. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For never loosing faith in me."

Tom & Tara smile. "Don't worry we'll never loose faith in you. We care about you way too much to stop caring."

"Thanks. I love you guys so much." She smiles.

"We love you too." They all hug. "I can't believe that she came back."

"I couldn't believe she still hung around while you were in recovery. I thought she would have hit the road once you started getting better."

"Me too. I said the same exact thing & she said that she'd stay until i'm skinny." She starts crying crying again. "I know i'm skinny, but she doesn't. She's still convinced that i'm fat, ugly, & worthless. I don't know if i'll ever be able to get rid of her."

Tom starts crying. "I won't let you give up. You've gone too far to give up now. besides she doesn't know anything. You're beautiful, skinny, & not worthless. She's worthless. I really don't think that you'll be able to get rid of her." He starts to say more, but Sara interupts him.

"What do you mean?"

"I was about to tell you what I meant when you interupted me.'

"Sorry." She looks like she means it.

"It's okay babe. I think that she'll be here all the time. I don't think that she wants to leave. I guess if she goes, you go with her. I don't mean to sound mean, but it's true. She probably doesn't want to leave until she's convinced you're skinny. I don't know what she's thinking, but it's a pretty good guess."

"Oh.. I wish she would go away. I'm afraid that anytime that you leave me alone that she'll come back & hurt me."

Tom starts crying while he brings her into his arms. "I will not let that happen. I love you way too much to let her take you away from me."

"I love you too & i'll do anything to keep her away." She hears sniffing & notices that Tara has begun crying. "What is it?"

"What you're saying is so beautiful & I agree i'll do anything to make sure she never comes back." She wipes her nose. "I don't want to loose you as a best friend & a sister. I know we're not sisters, but I don't care. You're the closet thing I have to a sister & I count you as my automatic sister."

Sara hugs her. "I count you as a sister too. I love you too."

A/N: Wow this chapter was intense.
