The Dolan Twins and Me

Chapter 11: Classes and Video Chats

POV: Izzie

After the whole crazy thing with Amy coming back, everything is becoming normal. I'm not seeing Ethan as much because I'm at classes and he's at his too. We try to see each other on the weekends and video chat when he's doing homework. It's not the most productive time for him but he enjoys it. I enjoy talking to him too, even if I have homework from my eating disorder classes or dance.

I'm at dance classes finally! It's so much fun I love it! I missed dancing so much. It was a horrible time when my mom had to take my out of dance classes because of me being anorexic. My friends at dance were the same as me. I don't think that they had an eating disorder but I think some did. We all looked skinny to others and we exercised a lot. Some girls just ate more food than others and maintained their weight better than others.

"We have a performance coming up for my company!" I say to Ethan through the screen of my computer.
"That's cool, when?" He asks.
"It's in two weeks at the studio, it's more of a showcase. It's on a Saturday night," I say.
"I think I can make it!" Ethan says.
"Yay! I can't wait to see you! I haven't seen you face to face in a good three weeks. It's like being in a long distance relationship but we live a mile away," I say.
"I know! School is crazy for both of us," he says.
"Yeah it is, and my dance classes are crazy hours. I have calculated that I dance at least 14 hours a week minimum." I say.
"Yeah I have classes and then 14 hours of homework after the classes. I have no free time anymore," he says. He's looking down at his paper while talking to me.
"I have to go do my homework for my class, talk to you later," I say.
"Bye babe, I miss you," he says.
"I miss you too, bye," I say and we hang up.

I go over to my desk and start my essay. It's not really an essay, but it's sort of like our story. It's how we got started in this eating disorder and what happened. It should be about a page or two long. So far I have a page. I want to write more because I have just started talking about the beginning. They said it could be 5 pages, or it could be 1 page. They just want us to express our story and tell it.

I wanted to be a writer for a long time. I always used to write story when I was a kid. After my story phase I went on to poems. After the poems came songs. After songs I went back into stories. I love writing. In school essays were fun for me. Even now they are still fun for me.

I ended up writing 6 pages. Yes to some that might be considered a lot of pages and writing. It was interesting. I had my feels in my paper and everything. I finished at 10:30 PM. After that I went to bed to wake up for my 9:30 class and breakfast at 8:00.

In class we present our paper by reading what we wrote. Great, I have to read 6 pages on my whole life story to 25 girls who don't know me at all. They all have anorexia too, but they don't get me. I read it and everybody seemed to really enjoy it. A lot of the girls came up to me afterward and said that they loved my paper and it was very emotional and crap like that.

I hate this so much, but I have a dance class in an hour so I'll be okay. I go up to my room to change into some spandex shorts and a sports bra with a flowery loose top.
Today is modern class. I just put on my Birkenstocks and grab my keys. It was a nice walk from my dorm to the studio. It takes about 30 minutes but I'm okay with that. I get into the studio and start to stretch. The one dance I'm presenting is the modern piece so it has to be good. We are doing a showcase so companies will either choose us or will donate to us so we can travel or get paid more money.

We run though the piece a billion times. The hard thing about this is I get lifted so many times and we have to run it with the crazy lifts. It's a lot of work trusting others to carry you without dropping you. Being the lifte is harder than it seems too. You have half of the work to engage your core, straighten, lift yourself, and stay in a position.

When the dance class is done, I decide to call Ethan.
"Hey babe," he says.
"Hey what's up" I say.
"I'm just finishing up some homework, I don't have a class for the rest of the day if you want to come over," he says.
"Sure! I'll be over in an hour? I just finished with dance," I say.
"Cool, I'll be waiting downstairs in the lobby for you, text me when your a block away," he says.
"Okay Ill see ya soon, love you," I say.
"I love you too, bye," he says.
"Bye," I say.

I walk to my dorm which took about 20 minutes. I was mostly jogging back but it was better than walking. I hopped in a took a quick cold shower. I just needed to not smell like sweat. Then I quickly get dressed in denim shorts with my flowery loose top. I put on my blue vans and walk over to the dorms. I text Ethan when I'm a block away and he comes down to the lobby. I get there and we both go upstairs to his room.

"I missed seeing you," he says.
"I missed that too," I say. We get upstairs into his room and I see Grayson isn't there. He pins me against the wall and starts to kiss me with much passion. We break our make out and lay down on his bed.
"You can spend the night if you want," he says.
"I'd love that," I say. We cuddle in Ethan's little dorm bed and watch Netflix until I fall asleep. Ethan falls asleep closely after me and we sleep together in his little bed.

When I wake up the next morning I'm still in his bed with him. I get up and see its 6:30 am, I should probably get back to the eating disorder place and get some breakfast. I kiss Ethan on his forehead and he doesn't move at all. Grayson is right next to us, and sleeping. I open the door and close it over softly. Then I make my way back to my place and get some food to eat. They weren't happy that I wasn't there for the evening meals, but they thought it was nice I was getting out to have a social life. I guess it's nice sleeping in and not doing anything with your boyfriend.

Authors note: hey guys! Hopefully this chapter made up for the last one just a little bit. I'll try to post regularly soon, but school and dance are crazy right now! As you guys might know I have three books now so I'm trying to manage my time more. Like share comment and add it to your library's! I'll update in the next week! Bye my beautiful viewers
