   Chloe was an intelligent, beautiful and inquisitive girl with red hair. She  lived in Houston, Texas and had a wonderful family, best friend and a pleasant school. One day while she was going to her school, she saw Holly, her best friend, Holly was writing something in her diary near the school gate. Chloe went over to her to see what she was doing, Holly was continuing her work and she didn’t see Chloe was coming; Chloe was hiding behind the oak tree and secretly peeping.
She could only see a few lines but…whatever she saw frightened her to death. The school bell rang and Holly closed her diary and ran to enter because if she was late she would have to go into detention. Chloe went in slowly and quietly. Principal Austin asked her why she was so late. Chloe didn’t say anything. Principal Austin called Chloe’s parents and told them to pick her up because she wasn’t looking well. Her parents got worried and hurried to the school. They sat in the waiting room for Principal Austin to call them. There was a counter where they had to get a number and wait for the principal to call out the number. Chloe’s parents forgot to do that so they had to wait another extra hour. When Principal Austin called out their number, they came in to see what had happened to Chloe. Chloe was flooded with tears coming down her eyes. Her parents hugged her and asked her what happened. Chloe still didn’t reply, she kept sobbing. Principal Austin said “Chloe is very upset; please find out what is troubling her.” Her mom said “we will try out best to find out what is troubling her.” Her parents took her home and pampered her. Chloe was still crying. Her parents were getting more worried and didn’t know what to do. At evening, Chloe finally stopped crying but she wouldn’t talk to anyone! She just sat quietly in her room and hugged her teddy.

 It was dinner time but still Chloe was in her bedroom. Her mom went inside and convinced her to come out. Chloe refused to eat food and ran back to her bedroom and locked the door so that no one could enter. Her parents were really frightened. Few days went on like this but Chloe wouldn’t open her lock unless she would have to go to the bathroom. She kept on refusing to eat and became skinnier day by day. Then one day her parents finally decided to take her to the doctor and find out what was wrong with her. But first her parents had to think of a way to convince her to go to the doctor. They told her that they are taking her to her favorite shopping mall. Chloe couldn’t refuse because she loved the mall. She said ‘Ok…’ very sorely. Her parents took her to the car and told her to say calm. But it wasn’t soon enough that she knew her parents were taking her to the doctor. She was hyper in her actions! Her dad parked the car in the parking lot and everyone got out of the car. As soon as Chloe got out she started running. Her parents didn’t have time to think so they started running after her and somehow caught her because she tripped and hurt her arm. They still took her to the doctor. Chloe was in pain and tears. When they reached the hospital, she was rushed to Dr. Anthony. Dr. Anthony examined her arm and said it was just a normal sprain. Her parents were slightly relieved but when they told Dr. Anthony how she has been acting these days, Dr. Anthony took her to take some tests. He came out of the testing room with worried expressions. It seems that all the reports were normal but she showed some signs of mental disorder. Dr. Anthony also told that she NEEDS to eat something! She is way too skinny and if she doesn’t eat anything properly, she would be in a very serious trouble. Dr. Anthony told to admit her in Annabelle Moon Hospital. Chloe parents took her straight to Annabelle Moon Hospital. They admitted her and her mom and dad hugged her and assured her that they would be available anytime. Chloe was quietly crying because she was missing her parents. Her nurse gave her some food to eat but she ate something but spat it out later. She didn’t eat anything for 3 weeks!! She was extremely hungry but couldn’t have anything . The next day, she looked like a live skeleton. The doctor came and took some tests. He told she has a disease which chokes the food in her throat. She was shifted to ICU. The whole day went fine until night because she couldn’t even eat dinner! She was forced to eat but vomited the food later. Chloe was desperately crying at night but nobody noticed. The next day Holly called Chloe and her mom picked the phone up and told Holly the whole story. Holly was shocked! She rushed to Annabelle Moon Hospital and took an appointment to visit Chloe. When Chloe saw Holly, she went out of control! All the nurses came to calm her and took her to the ‘Mental’ section. Holly was confused, she wanted to talk to Chloe but visitors weren’t allowed to visit that section. Nurse Bella called Chloe’s parents and told what happened when Holly came to visit her. Her parents guessed that Chloe’s behavior had to do something with Holly but then they received another call from the hospital. They picked it up and it was Chloe’s nurse. She told that Chloe has been starving for about a month now and her heart could stop anytime! Her parents rushed to the hospital but…sadly they were too late…Chloe couldn’t make it.
Holly was confused but she perhaps knew the answer…
