"So Agent Johnson, your saying that the fish oil tablet I took caused ... well this" I say while gesturing to my body. "Unfortunately yes" she responds while trying to comfort me by putting a hand on my shoulder but I can assure you that it is defiantly not helping. "Look I'm going to leave you here for a minute to think over my offer. Is that okay?" She asks with a voice laced with empathy or sympathy, honestly I can never tell which one is which, but I nod my head and she walks over to her team leaving me to well sit on my front steps and think over the last months events. You see this whole circus started exactly 2 weeks, 3 days, 20 hours and 5 minutes ago....

...

I woke up as per usual with the sun peaking through my blinds to try and prepare me for the attack of my youngest sister and dog who at 6:45am on the dot come bursting into my room to wake me up.

"Evey! Evey! Wake up!!" She repeats while jumping on my bed, "Come on mum said she made us pancakes!! And even said she might put choc chips into them if and she said only IF you and I quote" she changes her stance to represent our mother "Get your lazy ass out of bed!" She finishes in a pot of giggles and lies down next to me. Rolling over to look into those crazy blue eyes I sigh letting her know my defeat and get up. Yelling with excitement, she tumbles out of my room to go and repeat the exact same process to my younger brother, the family dog happily trailing behind knowing she'll get some of the morning pancakes if she obeys her every command.

Looking over myself in the mirror, I've never been the most comfortable with my body and growing up being bullied over not only my looks but my disability too, makes you always second guess yourself. So here I am my not perfect, slightly chubby body, long dark brown curly locks - that right now resembles a mattered birds nest, post puberty acne filled face and tacky scuffed school shoes. One positive is my school uniform, even though I hate the idea of uniforms, ours is at least the nicest within my area being a sky blue summer dress with a white Peter Pan collar that not only looks flattering but when paired with our navy blue blazers makes you feel like a boss!

Heading down the old wooden stairs of our house, making my way into the kitchen I see a sight that if I knew would be the last time I'd ever see this, then I would have captured it out it in a bottle and never let it go. My entire family was crammed into our small kitchen trying - and my emphasis on trying - to make chocolate chip pancakes for 5 hungry mouths. My father and sister are sneaking the pancake batter on the right side, while my brother is scrambling to finish his math homework that he clearly forgot to do, mum slightly dancing to American Pie softly playing through her speakers and our dog standing underneath hoping to catch any small amount of food that gets dropped.

Finally making myself known, I walk over stealing my brothers plate in the process and sit at the table opening my phone to text my best friend Melanie,


Hey Girl!! What you up to? 

Are you catching the bus or getting a ride from your brother?

If you are please ask if he can swing by to get me?!

Hey!! Yeah he said that's all good!

Well be around in about 20-30 minutes???

Yep :) see you then xx


"Hey mum, Melanie is picking me up" I yell out with my mouth half full, "What?" She responds while turning the music down, swallowing the last bite of my pancakes I'm about to respond when my stupid brother buts in first "She said that she's getting a ride to school with Melanie and her boyfriend" emphasising boyfriend knowing that I have the biggest crush on him. "Oh really?" Mum questions with a playful tone, "Well I trust Mel so your all good" she laughs while continuing to clean up the kitchen. Packing my bag making sure that my assignments and computer are all nicely tucked into my bag, dad yells out reminding us to take our fish oil tablets before we leave. You see my father has decided to go on a health streak - which we all know will only last a week or two - but to make him happy we agree and you see its only a fish oil pill so what's the worst that could happen? Now thinking back I should have knocked on wood cause how my luck has it, it all went to shit! It started with a feeling, a feeling of well crap. Honestly I couldn't describe it but the feeling moved its way up my body until it fully covered every inch of my skin, the last thing that I remember was my brother and mother running up to me calling my name.
