Tleigh's pov

I have come to like chocolates just as much as the next girl. I can't do without them because I crave them almost all the time, day or night.

"Hey dear, I think you're okay now from the way you're consuming those sweets. You worried me too much the past two months. You barely ate anything and now you eat almost every type of food thrown your way which is a good thing now. Your colour is back and am glad." Na'Zila smiles at me and flash back a small smile. " Anyway, you should slow down, your sugar level will shoot. You've consumed a lot of sweets, it's scaring me." She scolds giving me a mean glare.

"Nanny!" I whine. "It's just chocolate duh!" I roll my eyes.

"And it's sugary!" She raises her voice slightly in frustration.

"And it's milky and healthy!" I take a bite smiling mischievously at her.

"Sunshine!" My dad's voice booms from the hallway. "You should listen to your Nanny, she's right."

"But dad---"

"That's it, or I'll cut down your credit cards." He warns.

"I'm not using your money dad, it's the money I earned three months ago from my work in Brooklyn." I complain giving my dad puppy eyes. He's eyeing me skeptically and his eyes roam all over my body a little too longer making me feel uneasy. He's standing by the base of the stairs and am sitting on the couch in the living room.

"What dad?"

"You think you look good in those hideous pajamas?" He chuckles shaking his head as he turns around and starts walking upstairs.

This has been my normalcy for a month now. I wake up in the morning at around eight, take my breakfast, watch a movie or two, do laundry if there's any, come back take breakfast round two, a chocolate is a must in between, make lunch if Na'Zila isn't around, eat, take a nap, eat again, FaceTime Tiffany and Camille or even my aunt Hesnah, (just sometimes), eat lunch leftovers, watch, chocolates, dinner, sleep and the following day I do a repeat. Sometimes I mop over Ballice when I come across anything that reminds me of him but that's just it, I'm trying to accept everything life is throwing my way. Sometimes I take my motorcycle and go for random road trips by myself and some weekends I take my brother Lodzin.

There's this one day I bumped into Odessa when I was chocolate shopping and she had the audacity to tell me on how good I was doing at keeping my distance with Ballice and that I should keep that up. That night I'd cried my eyes out when I got home. I was tempted to tell my dad about it but I recalled what she'd told and I didn't make a move.

Three months had passed since I last saw Ballice, when we parted. I swear the first two months were spent in the toilet, I felt like I was going to die, I barely ate and the little food I could take would be eliminated just as soon as I took it. I was getting skinny and it was scaring me. I was pale most of the time and this made every person close to me worried. Tiffany told me to get a pregnancy test since all the signs related to pregnancy, I couldn't agree with her, but I bought three different pregnancy test kits and all turned negative. I continued with my suffering and all the vomiting stopped after around two months.

I've been eating in the past month like shit and it's scaring me too. I feel like am hungry almost all the time and my mouth is always busy. I feel like I am Tiffany instead.

The next day is on a Monday. I'm all alone at home since Zila has gone grocery shopping, Dad is at work and Lodzin is at school.

The other night when Zila got home from her sister's place, she told me that Ballice is done with his semester two and he's changed a lot. He'd came by yesterday to see her mother but he went back to his place at school almost immediately. As per Zila's words, 'The boy talks less now, he rarely shows her teeth let alone smiling and he spends the majority of his time on playing guitar.'
