Emma's POV:
I am sat on the couch with Curtis. We are eating a pizza. I am stuffing my face, looking forward to when I can finally go to the bathroom and throw it back up.
"Whoa. Emma. You're going to choke. Slow down." Curtis says handing me a glass of water.
"I'm sorry. I- I guess I am just hungry. Thanks for the water." I say looking down before chugging the water.
"Uh I'm gonna go to the toilet." I say quickly standing up. He looks at me in concern.
"Alright. You okay love?" His words are laced with worry. I give him a small, fake smile.
"Ye. You can finish that. I'm full up." I say before rushing to the toilet.
The urge to purge is so strong. I feel put of it and can feel my weight going up from the food. I rush into the bathroom and shut the door. What I don't realise is that I didn't lock the door.
"Ugly. Why did you eat so much?" I whisper harshly to myself.
I start to stick two fingers into my mouth and down my throat. I gag slightly as my throat resists but I keep going. Before I can successfully make myself sick my hand is pulled away from my mouth and a voice is speaking to me.
"Emma, what are you doing." I hear Curtis say. I quickly stand up and back myself into the wall, shaking with anxiety.
"I- it's not what it looks like." I say shakily. Curtis walks towards me and I think he is going to hit me so I flinch. I'm caught of guard when he pulls me into a hug and starts speaking softly in my ear.
"Oh Emma. Why are you doing this? You may not see it but your perfect. Far to perfect to be hurting yourself like this." He says carefully. Choosing his words wisely. I pull away form the hug.
"Im sorry, okay? I just hate myself. Every time I eat I feel like I'm putting on too much weight. I just want to keep my body in check." I say almost crying.
"Well, we can find a healthier way to do that but this isn't the answer. You're just hurting yourself not making yourself better." He says this while looking into my eyes. I take a deep breath and nod my head, smiling slightly.
"Thank you. I'm sorry I did this." I say sincerely.
"Don't worry about it babe. No matter what shape or size you are, you will always be perfect to me." He says before biting his bottom lip in thought.
"I need to ask you a question." He says. His voice soft.
"What is it?"I ask confused.
"How long have you been doing this purging thing?" He asks. My eyes widen in shock. I didn't expect him to ask me this.
"Uh. 3 months." I say feeling ashamed.
"Okay. I'm gonna take you for a checkup at the doctor's tomorrow. Just to make sure you are all healthy. Right now though, we are going to get ready for bed and have s good night's sleep." He says as he kisses me lightly.
"Okay. Thank you my love."
