A/N
Hey lovelies so this is the first book that I've written and I'm very excited to share it with you all. A little heads up, this book is solely based around an important topic (eating disorders) so if you feel as if this might be triggering for you then feel free to stop reading. I've done my research and I'm also basing some of the stuff off of my own experiences so please be nice, and also bear in mind that the female MC is Spanish and I don't speak the language myself so I've had to use translate lmao. If I get anything wrong then feel free to correct me BUT NICELY, any mean comments will be deleted. I am also going back and fixing things here and there as we speak so that I can fix some mistakes but anyway let me stop rambling now.Enjoy x

You never realise how crazy life can get unless you sit and think. I tend to avoid my thoughts because I like to think of them as drugs, doing too much of it can leave a negative affect but then again there are some positives to it. They help you decide on what you want to feel or what you wanna do, they alert you of the dangers around you and all that shit. But back to the negatives, if you're an over thinker like me then you know how thoughts can keep you up all night and that they can lead to anxietyThe only reason I mention this is because I've had a lot of time to think lately. Think about things such as my best friend -or should I say ex- June and how she stopped talking to me. And it's not the kind of thing where she became the queen bee of the school and started hating me or anything like that, she just slowly faded away. I'd ask why but I think it's better to pretend that you don't give a shit at all, it works better that way. Anyway that was months ago, I still have my other two closest friends Sienna and Zoe, I won't lie and say that I tell them everything that I would tell June but the bond is still there.
Defining my school life is pretty much simple, I pass all my classes, earn A's and B's, I stay out of trouble.... Unless I cause it. It's pretty hard for me to get myself involved in all that stuff, especially with the family that I have. My older brothers like to take it upon themselves to make sure that no one comes after me personally, but hey I'm not complaining. I do the exact same with our younger siblings, there's seven of us in total for those interested. And everyone knows that when you've got a big family, shit can get chaotic real quick. There's also the thing where every large family has a middle child, it's not me but sometimes I feel like it is.
In terms of relationships with my parents, I'm closer with my dad.... I'll be honest, my mom annoys the shit out of me. Nothing much to add, those that get it get it.
Our school gave everybody two weeks off due to the fact that they we're going under construction and if you can't tell already, I'm not excited to go back at all.
But life goes on
The front door slams shut and I keep my eyes on the tv, "Hey"
My oldest brother sits on the couch beside me before drinking from his bottle of beer, "Hey"
"Where've you been, it's almost midnight?" I frown
"Well Mom if you must know, I was getting pussy" Daniel replies
I hit him on the arm with disgust, "Gross"
"You asked" He says amused
"Yeah and I regret it-... when are you gonna get yourself a girlfriend" I snort
My brother sits back, "When I feel like it"
"What about you" He then asks
"I've seen the way you guys treat girls, I've been put off men" I say amused
He kicks off his shoes, "Makes me and Enzo's job a lot easier"
"If you're staying over then you gotta sleep in his room"
"Where's mom and dad?"
"Working"
"Night shifts again?" He says unimpressed
"Of course. And fix your face, we love being home alone"
"Yeah but to an extent, they can't just be leaving you guys all the time-
I drink some of his beer, "Oh trust me it's like dad never leaves, you're his replacement when he's working"
"Haha very funny"
We hear footsteps make their way down the stairs and that's when I finally look away from the tv, "Who is it?-...Daniel!" Matteo jumps onto our brother excitedly and he smiles before tickling him
"When did you get so heavy?"
Matty looks up at him, "It's my muscles"
I frown with amusement "Muscle my ass, change into your pyjamas we got school tomorrow."
"But you're still awake" He points out
"And you need more hours of sleep"
"I wanna talk to Daniel-
"Pyjamas, now" I say seriously
"It's ok buddy, I'll talk to you tomorrow", He promises
Matty rolls his eyes as he gets up, "Night" He mumbles
I watch as he trudges up the stairs before looking at our older brother
"Are you actually going to be here tomorrow?"
"It depends, I might leave a little early for college"
"Lucky you" I mutter
"Why, what's going on with you?"
Ha, I think questions like that are pointless. People are crazy if they think that they'd actually get an honest answer after asking that
"Nothing"
"I haven't seen June in awhile"
Why do we need to bring up that month, "You've missed ten episodes Dan, we don't speak"
He frowns, "What? Why?"
I shrug as I get up, "You'd have to ask her"
He narrows his eyes
"I'm going to bed and incase you're not here in the morning. Love you"
"Buenas noches"
I take my phone with me before heading up the stairs
