During the night of Dean's trip to the hospital, Xoa had texted Drey, Sage and Ayla and neglected to tell them of the incident. However, the following day at school, the three girls saw the bruises on Xoa's body and asked what had happened. Upon hearing her response, they felt guilty for bringing up such a sensitive subject. But the pain in her eyes when she told them had assured that Xoa trusted them with her secrets.254Please respect copyright.PENANAi05TJcdgPg
Xoa continues to skip meals, only eating one meal every three days so she didnt constantly pass out. Drey and Sage were powerless to the abuse Xoa forced on herself as they couldnt understand how to help.
Xoa refused to discuss her eating issue with them, fearing that she might hurt someone in trying to share her secret. Xoa was unable to cope with Dean's abuse and Niko leaving her as it ate away at her mind and made everything she did seem to her like a failure.
