"It's time for the cake!" Sarah announces quickly changing the subject. You, sandra, and rue are all very pleased with your doing. Sarah takes out the cake and starts cutting slices for everyone. Rue was very excited. She specifically asks for the biggest peice and sarah obliges.
Everyone else gets their cake and now it's time for you. Your stomache is doing circles and your brain racing for ways to get out of it. Sarah hands you a slice of cake. You used to think of this as delicious now it's almost like a threat. The fear enlarging by the second. The calories are so high! How can I get out of this!? You shakily grab a fork tuning out what everyone is talking about around you. You close your eyes and put it in your mouth. The taste is sweet but the feeling in your stomache is far from that. Its screaming to spit the food out. It's so much so loud! You spit it back out onto the plate with a loud spat.
All eyes are on you. You try and play it off saying "never been a fan of red velvet". Cate tries to help by saying "why I can go and fetch a different kind!" But you insist to not being hungry.
Sandra, Cate, and Sarah are all tangled up in conversation and just nod and continue, Rue is just trying to keep up listening the the ladies fast pace conversation hardly ever getting a word in being as they talk so incredibly fast and overlap one another. But Andrew, Andrew sees.
He doesn't know much about you so he's been curious. Has had his eyes fixed on you for awhile. He saw the way your hand shook, the way you had to close your eyes in disgust while taking a bite, the hesitation to swallow, he saw it all.
It reminded him of someone. It reminded him of himself. See years ago he too struggled. Still struggles sometimes. It's a given nothing can be fixed over night but even years later he sometimes feels something is wrong with him for not being "over it". He still checks the backs of foods to see the calories, he still can't look in the mirror without the voices shaming him, still wears baggy clothes to cover up, still can't eat some foods. But he's better, yet managed to hide it all from Cate.
He's reluctant because no one else sees it but he knows you need help. He gets up off his chair. No one glances the women and Rue intangled in whatever they're talking about now. He walks over to you not sure how to start so just awkwardly says "hey kiddo" you chuckle at his awkwardness but reply "hey old man" he laughs saying "boy you got some spunk in you!" You both connect. It's like a silent friendship made.
Maybe it's the fact you've never had a father figure or the way his eyes look so kind. Either way it's the beginning of something great and you both know it.
"You really should eat something" he coaxes but you don't take the bait. "Not hungry" you shrug it off. "I know what that means" he says sympathetically. Your bones go stiff. What does it mean now that he knows your secret. Will he help you? And on the path will you help him?
Idk I thought this would be adorable and if anyone has any suggestions moving forward I could try to incorporate them! Thank you loves have a great whatever day or time it is for you!
