You didn’t do anything wrong. Even typing this exhausts me. I’m so weak. Lost fifteen pounds. Everythinghurts.

Don’t know what got me sick, but I waited too long to go to the doctor. My whole family was worried I would die in mysleep.

Areyouokay?

Ruby,

How do you lose 15 pounds in a month? That’s a lot of weight. You’re not helping me worry about you any less with your “they were all worried I would die in mysleep”BS.

I’m fine. Same old crap as usual. I’m too busy wondering how you’re doing. Can’t you die frompneumonia?

Eat chicken noodle soup and drink a lot ofwater.

My brother the marine has been calling me Skeletor. You know how some people say they could afford to lose ten pounds? I could’ve done maybe ten. Not fifteen. The scariest part is I’m not hungry. I’m alwayshungry.

I told you my family is overprotective. They’re all worry warts. Any time I get sick, they all try to stand vigil. They were trying to get me to wear a mask… inmyroom.

You can die from pneumonia if you’re older or don’t get treatment. Don’t worry. I’m taking my medicine and trying everything everyone is telling me to do to boost my immune system. It just feels like I’m starting at -100 now. Got out of breath going downstairs. I’ve been brushing my teeth sitting down.Pathetic.

My brother’s boyfriend has brought over chicken noodle soup twice. Organic everything. No wonder Ilovehim.

How’sAx?

Aren’t you going onleavesoon?
