A daughters secrets (Waterloo road)

Sixteen

Alexis sighed as she placed Lily down in her crib as she slept. Alexis was exhausted and felt as if she needed to sleep for a week.

She walked out of the bedroom and walked into the kitchen as she walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. She looked to see a slice of chocolate that alexa had left her and smiled.

Alexis knew that she was still struggling from her eating disorder but she also knew how she was trying her best and knew how she didn't want to be the girl with the eating disorder.

Alexis knew that her eating disorder came down to her mum and how Christine treated her and she knew it wasn't easy but she didn't want to try and get past it and she knew that meant following her therapists advice and trying to love herself.

Alexis grabbed the slice of cake from the fridge and smiled as she grabbed a fork and cut a bit off of it as she took a bite. She knew it was hard but she was ignoring the demons in her head and she wanted to be able to completely ignore them

Alexis sat in the common room as she sat studying as grace walked in and smiled as she looked to her little sister and smiled

"I wanted to see if everything was okay. I saw you had the cake Alexa got you" grace said as Alexis sighed

"I know what your asking I didn't throw it up I ate it. I am getting better and I want to try and out what I went through behind me and I know it won't be easy but it's what I want to do" Alexis said as grace looked to her and smiled
