BOYFRIEND MATERIAL:

TW: Potential Bulimia?
^^^ sensitive subject for some, there isn't much of it at all neither does she do it for reasons some do, but I know people who do this.

My platform was very slowly growing. I didn't know if I loved it or hated it. It wasn't growing because of me, it was the outer banks cast they kept coming for. Stalking. The comments, DM's, posts. Nosy people. But I didn't want to be known as the girl who's friends with the outer banks cast I just wanted to be me.

But it wasn't. It was about them.

After the good news yesterday, I might as well have just waited until this morning. I woke up on my period with the worst cramps I think I've ever experienced.

Shooting pains throughout my whole body, a weird aching-feeling in my back my legs and my stomach. I basically couldn't walk. Hardly anyway. I'd left my hot water bottle back in New York so I'm suffering for a week.

Did I forget to mention the pain literally in my ass? Because fuck.my.life. Kill me now.

I cried. I'm crying. Of course I'm crying, I'm on my period.

Why am I crying?

Because I'm on my fucking period.

"Morning sunshine, we're going to- why are you crying?" Madelyn comes to comfort me by sitting beside me and wiping my tears.

"I'm in so much fucking pain and I'm moody, I wanna diee" I say dramatically bursting out more tears, mads laughed at my statement knowing how over-dramatic I was being. She cuddles into my side.

She lifts her head to face me "I can make you tea?" She says "it's suppose to help cramps. Are you hungry?" She asks like an overprotective mum.

I chuckle through what was left of my tears "no mum, I'm fine" she acts offended "but I won't pass up on the tea I'll try anything to stop the pain."

I breathe in and out slowly trying to calm the pain. It didn't work.

Madelyn gets up and walks to the kitchen, 5 minutes later she's here with a green tea and honey. I thank her.

We both fell asleep, mads spooning me, after I'd drank my tea and started to settle. Until a phone rang.

"Hi, Drew" sounding like she just woke up "what's up?"

After that I just heard "no I didn't just wake up"

"um I don't know Cee isn't feeling to well."

"I'll ask, I'll let you know, bye b-bye" she ends the phone call.

I look at her over my shoulder "what does he want." I say still moody from earlier.

"He wants to go for coffee with Rudy and Odessa" she says "but if you don't want to-"

"No we can go, might take my mind off this" i motion towards my stomach that was still twisting. I got ready. Nothing fancy because I wasn't putting myself through jeans today.

Grey joggers and black jumper and my white platform converse. My outfit was pretty casual so I curled my hair and let it down to compensate. I did minimal make up and through on my prescribed glasses that made me look a porn star. Oh well.

"Hey, Mia Khalifa" Madelyn jokes me and I laugh.

Also, who's Odessa? I wondered.

Drew's girlfriend?
