Warning: The warnings from previous chapters still apply. In addition, I need to add a warning for talk about a possibly impending character death (meaning that other characters are aware that's a possibility and are going to talk about it).

Author's note: Well, I managed to get this chapter finished a little ahead of a schedule, since I was originally planning to post it next month. So, here's a slightly early update to make up for the late update last chapter. As usual, see previous chapters for warnings.

Author's Note: I'm sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up. I had really bad writer's block for most of December, due to some real life stuff. I'm a little afraid the middle of this chapter suffers from having been written while I was struggling with that, so I hope it will end up being worth the wait. As usual, the same warnings from other chapters continue to apply. (And I guess if someone is reading chapter sixteen, they've probably already seen those.)

Author's notes: I didn't quite get everything that I was hoping to in this chapter. There turned out to be other things that needed to be dealt with first, and I liked where this chapter ended. The conversation that I hinted about in my author's notes to the previous chapter is still coming. The characters are just being stubborn about actually having that conversation.
Warning: This chapter contains discussion of abuse, eating disorders, and an apparent suicide attempt. These all refer back to things that were previously mentioned or that happened in earlier chapters, and nothing graphic is shown in this chapter. However, since I know the mentions can also be triggering for some people, I chose to specifically warn.

Important note: Although this story is taking place modern day, it is not taking place this year. It will not deal in any way with what happened last month.
Warnings: This chapter does contain some victim blaming. It also contains a flashback that will contain emotional and physical child abuse. Also, all warnings mentioned in the previous chapters, and in "Family Secrets" still apply.
Extra disclaimer: This chapter contains a quote from a first season episode of CSI. The episode is called "Blood Drops." The quote comes from the end of the episode, and therefore contains spoilers for that episode, however, I decided that season was long enough ago that I could get away with doing that.

Warnings: Refer to the earlier chapters for more specific warnings, but this chapter does have one part that might be indicative of eating disorder symptoms. And one other thought that might be disturbing to some people. But I think any disturbing things in this chapter are implied, rather than stated outright.
Author's Note: I picked the location of the meeting pretty much just for the name of the street that hotel is on. I was going through cities that I have some familiarity with, and when I discovered just how many hotels with conference centers are located on International Drive in Orlando, I knew I had to set the meeting there, just for the street name.
