Fixing The Broken

As I looked in the mirror, I saw dull brown eyes staring back at me. They had no emotion in them. I traveled further down to my body which was just a mess. My stomach was flat from not eating as much and my once tanned body was now drained from color.

I promised myself I wouldn't end up anorexic, but I never promised myself I would keep eating like I used to- full plates. Now I only eat small portions and 2 meals a day.

It's not much of a big deal since I never get back home early enough to eat dinner.

I work at a small diner in the town. Since I live by the forest and the beach, it's a nice view of the beach on one side then on the other there's the forest. The diner doesn't pay well but I only need the money to buy my own clothes and sometimes to help out my aunt with groceries.

I live with my aunt since both my parents died. How? You may ask, but that's for me to tell later on. I guess you could say I'm the quiet type at first, but once you really get to know me I can be a handful. But it's not like anyone will figure that out since I don't have any friends here.

Once my parents died I moved here with my aunt, Lin. I had to move away from my best friend Avery and that was pretty tough, but that was back when I was 11.

When I moved here I met a boy named Anthony. He was a year older than me and instantly we clicked. We had the same dreams and we vowed that we would fulfill them together. We would be famous. We made movie ideas together and had dreams of meeting famous people. But not all dreams last.

When I turned 14 Anthony found out about my crush and he left me to go be friends with the popular one- also known as my crush, Ryan. Anthony would always figure out who I liked and then made sure they wouldn't like me. He also made sure I never made any new friends. No one ever wanted to hang out with me anyways. Anthony changed completely going from that nice best friend to the unwanted jerk. He left the ones who loved him most aka his best friends just to be with a jerk who practically had no future, unless you call selling drugs on the corner of the street a future.

Yeah I miss him but yet again I hate him for jumping to conclusions. After that and my parents death I kind of just blocked everybody out of my life. I never kept in touch with any of them and they never kept in touch with me. I never trusted anyone since.

It's been 3 years since those days and I'm still the lonely self I am. I heard that Isaac, one of my best friends I closed out on, graduated early and is majoring in film since he wanted to become a director. I also heard Eddy, the other best friend, is majoring in mechanics since he wants to be an airplane builder or a pilot. And Anthony just moved to a town next to ours.

I on the other hand just graduated and I'm enjoying my summer in the house, all alone, watching tv and writing on the computer- story of my life.

Today is my last day at work and I'm so thankful that its finally over. I did not plan on working for a one eyed old lady with purple hair and believes she is married to Clay Aiken the whole summer. Yup she's delusional and mean.

I sighed and continued to brush my long brown hair out and then put it up in a ponytail. I quickly put on my black vans and looked into the mirror.

I was wearing my work uniform which was a pair of black skinny jeans and a light turquoise polo with black outlining that was tucked in. "It went with the whole beach effect" said the manager of the diner. I rolled my eyes at that.

It just looks like a McDonald's uniform but a different color!

I walked out of my room and grabbed my longboard and jogged down the stairs to be greeted by my aunt who was in the middle of one of her yoga videos.
