Eating disorder (Eddie Munson)

Tw: negative self talk, eating disorder.

[Eddie Munson is your boyfriend]

I look at myself in the mirror. I look fat, I am ugly, Everyone will think I am overweight, I think to myself. The bad thoughts kept coming and wouldn't stop. It's okay, maybe I'll just not eat today, I'm sure I can go one more day without eating. I thought to myself as I started to change into a decent looking outfit for school.

Eddie was waiting for me outside my house. I opened the front door and locked it. I walked over to Eddies van and got in the passenger seat. "You okay y/n? You don't look yourself today", Eddie asked with a slightly worried look on his face. "Yeah I'm okay", I mumbled, knowing that wasn't true.

The whole drive didn't include any talking. The only noise was the music blasting from the radio. We finally pulled up to the school and I grabbed my bag and stepped out the van and started speed walking into the school.

I walked into class with Eddie and started to feel lightheaded. I sat in the corner at the back of the class and Eddie took a seat next to me. "You look pale y/n, are you sure you are okay? Did you eat today?", he asked with worry. I froze. I didn't want him to know I haven't eaten so I tried to respond as quickly as possible. "Yes I did", I blurted out.

The next few hours felt like weeks. Eddie kept asking if I was okay but I just stared at my empty textbook. The bell finally rang and I started waking into the lunch hall. I sat down next to Eddie on the hellfire table with no food.

"Aren't you going to eat y/n?", Mike questioned. "Uhm...no I had I big breakfast", I lied. Eddie could see through right through my lies and shot me a glare.

Half an hour went by and I started to feel really dizzy and lightheaded, like I was going to pass out. I got up without saying anything and stumbled out of the lunch hall and headed into the toilets and locked myself in a stall.

I tried to ground myself but I felt so dizzy and felt like I was going to black out there and then. I suddenly heard someone enter the toilets but couldn't figure out who it was until they spoke.

"Y/n. I know you haven't been eating again. Remember what happened last year? You had to go to hospital because you didn't eat for so long", he reminded me as I got flashbacks from when I was in hospital for not eating.

"When was the last time you ate?", he asked with sympathy and worry. "U-uhm...", I stammered. I couldn't say anything because of how weak I was and I couldn't get up because if I stood up I would probably pass out. "Y/n....you sound like you haven't eaten in a while so please, tell me. When was the last time you ate?", he pleaded, needing an answer from me.

"T-Three days ago...", I managed to mumble out. "Oh y/n we are going back to my place right now and you are eating", he started to raise his voice. He started to pick the lock with something. I didn't know what it was because I was too dizzy to think straight at the moment.

Eddie unlocked the stall door and opened it to see me lying on the ground. "Y/n....I can see your bones poking out your hands..", he said with shock and sadness. Eddie picked me up in a bridal style. He grabbed my bag and carried me to his van.

He put me down in the passenger seat and buckled my seatbelt for me, got in the front and started to drive out of the school grounds and onto the road.

We pulled up to his trailer and he carried me inside and laid me down on the sofa. "Okay y/n, I've got some chicken soup in the fridge so I'll heat that up for you, okay? Just hang in there", his words calmed me as I waited for him to finish heating up the soup.

He came over to me with the bowl of soup and started feeding it to me with a spoon since I was too weak to do it myself. I had finished all the soup and Eddie went to the kitchen and came back with a ton of snacks. I managed to sit up and started to gain my strength back.

For the rest of day until midnight, we ate snacks and watched tv while cuddling.
