Brie's POV
I opened my eyes. I didn't recognize the place I was in. My mom was sitting next to me crying. Where am I? I asked. The hospital. The doctor said. I saw I was hooked up to an IV. Damn I can't believe I passed out. I thought. Oh. I said. My memory started coming back. I didn't want to be here. Before I could tell them that, my doctor started asking a bunch of questions. When is the last time you ate and you kept it down? Honestly, Brianna. My mom, the doctor and Nicole were all looking at me. Shit! what am I going to say. I don't remember maybe a little more then a month or two. I don't know I said. Brianna. My mom said. She hugged me. When is the last you had your Menstrual Cycle? Oh my god this is awful. I thought. The same time I think I missed like two or three. That's all. The doctor wrote some different things down. I could not look at my mom. It was too much and way too sad. You did that to your arm after you left the first time? Yes. I said. When? What day? He said. Right after I got the stitches out. Where did you go to do it. A guy's house that night with a blade I got from his bathroom. Ok. Are you sexually active? I felt my face turning red. There routine questions. I know it's kind uncomfortable but we need to know. Um...I don't know. I said. Brianna it's a yes or no question I know about the one time. My mom said. I had sex with the guy who I got the blade from. How did you leave the house? My mom said. The window locks broke. I said. Brianna what if your pregnant? My mom said. I'm not. I said. You had sex with two guys Brianna, that you barley know. Mom! I said. Were you safe? Did you take a test? No and no but I'm not. I said. We can give her a test but I doubt she's pregnant. I think she missing her period because she's not eating because her body is slowly shutting down. Can I talk to my daughter in private. My mom said. Yes that's fine I'll get the test. He left. My mom looked at me. Why Brianna? She said. I felt worthless alright? So you went and sex with some guy? My mom said. I think after this you should see a doctor. She said. Your treating me like a slut! I yelled. No I'm not Brianna! I'm trying to help you. I don't need help! She needs help! I said pointing at Nicole. She sleeps with a bunch of people everyday during school! I'm sick of people saying and acting like I'm the slut when it's her! Nicole turned her head. My mom got up and went over to her. Stephanie! She said. What?! She said. How many guys did you have sex with? She said. Are you asking me what my body count is? She said. I tried to tell you I should be on Birth Control pills you won't listen. Yes I am. You should not have to be at almost sixteen, your body count should be zero! My mom yelled. Ten. My body count is ten. She said and smiled. I thought I was going to pass out again. How? Oh my god. Why? I thought.
I hope your lying my mom said. That's not cute. It's disgusting. She said. I'm not lying. I took a test though and I'm not pregnant so I'm good. Nicole said. Why aren't you in class? My mom said. Because the boys make feel me good. My mom looked shocked. You are in so much trouble. The worst part is you thinks it's okay. My mom said. I know you broke the locks too. My mom said. I'll tell your teachers to call me if your not in class and you can't leave the house! She said. So because I'm not staving myself, I'm the one in trouble? You can just fuck off because that's ridiculous! Nicole said. My mom slapped her across the face. Don't talk to me with that type of language ever! She yelled. I'm sick of your attitude! The doctor came in with the test. I took it. I wasn't pregnant. I didn't think I was. I really wanted kids, just not now. I sat on the hospital bed. The doctor came over. You have to get ready to eat dinner. He said. The doctors assistant will sit with you. Why? I asked. To make sure your eating everything and not leaving in the middle to purge. Fine! I said annoyed. I would have to get around this some how. It's what happens with all the patients with eating disorders. Upstairs you eat with a group. I started to laugh really hard. I don't have an eating disorder. They all looked at me. My mom still looked really sad tears were rolling down her face. I'm going home to get your stuff. I'll be back. She said and left. I'm going to get my assistant. The doctor said. Then he left Nicole was still staring at me. You know that's what you have right? What are you talking about? I said. You have an eating disorder Brianna. Shut the fuck up I do not! I yelled. Your such a bitch and a slut. I know I'm slut Brianna and so are you! She yelled. See I know it! I yelled. I was starting to cry. You do think I'm a slut! I hate you! I was really upset. I felt like I had no one I wanted to lay down on this bed and not wake up. No Brianna! That's not what I was trying to say! I'm sorry. No your not! She said. Shut up! Your so fucking stupid! I screamed. Fine! I'll die if want me to! She said. That way you won't have to deal with my stupidity and my slutty ways because I suck at everything. The one thing I didn't suck at I lost. This was the second time she said something like this. I felt really sick. I got up and walked over to her. No! Nicole. I hugged her. You need to stay. I need you now really. I said. Please don't. Okay. She said. I need you too though. You have me. I said. Why do you think I have an eating disorder? I asked. The things you say and do. She said. Brianna? Yeah I said. Do you think your fat. Yes very and I'm ugly I'm so disgusting. I said. I hate myself. I don't deserve to eat. She started to cry a little. Brie, you just told me you have an eating disorder. I do not. I'm not like that though. Those people are a mess. That's not fair. I said. The assistant came in. Hi Nicole. He said this is my sister Brianna. I could tell Nicole liked this guy, a lot. She was smiling. A smile I had not seen in a long time. Hi, Nicole. He said. You look really pretty when you smile. Thanks. She said. You look great too. She said. Well I try. He said. She laughed in a really flirty way. Oh god. I thought. Hi Brianna. He said. Hello I said. Are you ready to eat? No. I said. Can we try? He said. I looked at him. Come on please. He said. No. I said. You'll have to go upstairs. What's up there? I said. A mental and emotional floor. I don't need that. Gross. I'm not messed up. The only reason I'm staying here is because I want to be with Nicole. Your going to have to go there if you don't eat three-six meals everyday for me. He said. What are you going to make me? I snapped I was mad. No. I'm just here to make sure your eating I can't force you to eat. But the doctor and your mom probably will. He said. They want you to get better. Fine! I yelled. What do I have to eat? noodles with spaghetti sauce because I know hospital food is not that good. And a shake for calories. The noodles are good. Nicole said. I walked over and sat down. I stared at the food. You can start when your ready. He said. Can I eat with my sister? Nicole said. Is that okay? He asked. Yes. I said. Do you need help coming over? No I got it. Thanks. She got in a wheel chair and came over. I ate half of a small noodle. I can't eat a meal. I thought. I just can't anymore. Then, I started watching Nicole eat. I decided then I like that a lot better. I felt really good watching her eat. She could eat all of her food and enjoy it. That made me happy. So happy I felt like this was enough, I don't need to eat because she was and she was happy. She noticed I was watching her. Are you okay? She said. Yeah. I said. Then eat. She said. I picked up the shake. I sipped some. I drink a lot of health drinks and cleanses but if I mixed them together they would not be as fowl as this shake. Ew! Gross! I'm not drinking that anymore! Ever! Can you try? He said. No! I yelled. Brianna. Nicole said. It's gross! I said. Here I'll try it, it can't be that bad your just being a brat like normal. She drank some. Ugh that taste like shit! She said. That's so fucking awful! Told you, stupid. Plus it's milk and you can't have milk, I said. Fuck! She yelled. Just shut up and eat. She said.
