Ava’s pov

2 months later

It’s weird how so much has changed for me in such a short time.

I have friends now that I never thought I would ever be friends with.

Yet they see me, and except me for who I am.

They don’t care that I was once a model.

They just like me for the person I am.

Plus I now have a boyfriend.

I never thought any guy would want me now that I was fat.

Yet a very sexy guy like Dakota thinks I am beautiful.

I must say his love has changed me.

Don’t get me wrong I still get insecure, but I no longer hate myself.

I no longer want to be that starving model.

I am happy with my curves.

My mom and dad have gotten a divorce and I now live with my dad.

My mom was bringing me down, and I actually tried to harm myself.

My father became my hero in that moment.

He loves me no matter what my size is.

My mom on the other hand cannot accept her “fat” daughter.

That’s why I don’t need people like her in my life bringing me down.

No my small group of the nerd heard are now my family.

We all have issues of our own.

That’s why we are here, but threw our pain we have gotten close.

It’s as if no one understands us outside the classroom.

Jamie and Lea aren’t only our teachers they have become family to us as well.

Mrs. Ross has even came in to check on us from time to time.

You can tell she is very proud of how well the project is doing.

I heard her tell Jamie she knew she was putting the project in good hands when he took over.

To have someone trust in you that much must feel amazing.

I want that one day.

I actually talked to Jamie about becoming a counselor.

I want to help others.

I would love to work with girls that have eating disorders.

I suffered with one myself for the longest time.

Now I refuse to starve myself.

So what if I am what people now call full-figured.

At least I was happy.

I had a boyfriend that loved me, and not for my fame.

I had people that liked to be around me, and weren’t using me.

I didn’t have someone constantly telling me I was fat or ugly.

Telling me to starve myself so I would look prettier.

I know there is others out there like me so I want to help them.

I told Dakota about it, and he said I would be an amazing counselor.

It felt really good being with someone that believed in me.

The best part though was that I finally believed in me.
