This morning I woke up and look to see I was still in dad's bedroom still in my dress from last night and dad wasn't in the room so I grabbed one of his sweaters and changed in my room and threw a pair of leggings on *looks in the mirror* I ate a lot of junk last night... maybe the sweater will hide all the fat.. oh god... I do look fat...
Laurel: *goes downstairs*
Noah: morning sweetie *kissed Laurel's head* you got cold?
Laurel: oh.. um yeah, I found one of your sweaters and just thew it on, I was to lazy to get mine
Noah: ah okay
Laurel: yeah
Noah: what do you want to eat for breakfast?
Laurel: I don't know... eggs?
Noah: sure! This is different!
Laurel: I just wanted to do something different
Noah: I can tell!
I went on my phone and just scrolled on tiktok watching videos and just seeing how all these girls have nice bodies, I don't have that anymore... I remember I used to...
Addison: good morning Laurel!
Laurel: morning
*a few hours later*
Noah: come eat breakfast now Laur!
Laurel: coming!
I went in the kitchen and sat beside Addison and we had breakfast, I only wanted one egg and I just took 2 bacon strips and water, a few minutes later I finished and put my dress away in my room and took a look at myself in the mirror for awhile.. and just felt tears coming down when I took a look at myself and didn't come out my room since...
Addison: where's Laur?
Noah: she's been in her room awhile, I'll go up and check up on her
Addison: alright, I'm going to go out and spend the day with Dixie and char, bye
Noah: oh uh okay, bye!
*Addison leaves*
*Noah runs upstairs*
Laurel: *on her bed scrolling on tiktok and crying in Noah's sweater*
I all of a sudden heard footsteps come towards my door and I knew it was dad bit there was no way of hiding this from him now...
Noah: *looks through the door* Laur?
*laurel looks up and sees Noah* *continue crying*
Noah: *sees Laurel* what's wrong baby? Why are you crying?
I could answer the question because of the amount of tears that was coming down and that if I answered the question I wouldn't be able to say it right do I didn't say anything and just continued crying
Noah: *walks in Laurel's room* hey, what's wrong? *sits on her bed*
I didn't know what to do or say so when dad sat on my bed I just moved closer to him and cried even more
Noah: Laurel, please, tell me what's wrong, your worrying me
Laurel: *still cries more in Noah's chest*
Noah: please Laurel! Please tell me
I just looked up at Noah and just started playing with the bracelet he had on his wrist from Blake.
*Noah sees Laurel's eyes filled with tears* he wipes it off her face* can you tell me what's wrong?
Laurel: *sniffles* I'm insecure... of my stomach... *looks in the mirror* I look fat... I'm not skinny like before... I hate how my stomach looks... I wish I could change it.... like before... I'm not the same as before from when I first saw you... I was skinny before and now I just this fat on my arms and my stomach... all I ever wanted was to be skinny or have a flat stomach, I've tried eating healthy but nothing seems to work... and I can't even make myself loose this weight
I was right and there was no way that dad could convince me that I was wrong, no matter what he does he can't make me think of it differently... look at me! I can't even look at myself right now and it hurts when I stand in the mirror anyways...
Noah: hey! Who says your fat?
Laurel: ME! Look at me! See! *tears starts falling down*
Noah: you are not! Stop calling yourself things you know your not!
Laurel: I am! I don't even know how I started gaining this stupid weight anyways! See? *starts to cry* look at Addison! She has a pretty body! And then look at me? Or Dixie, or Charli! They have pretty body! And I don't!
Noah: stop comparing yourself to other girls! It hurts me now! You're beautiful inside and out! Right now your just to blind to see it!
Laurel: no I'm not! I won't be pretty until I get that perfect body! That's why I stopped wearing the crop tops! Because I know that I can't loose this weight!
Noah: I told you to stop! You are already perfect! Look *shows the picture from yesterday* see?
Laurel: I know your just saying that because your my dad, just admit it, I'm right! I will never be able to look like the other girls or my friends!
Noah: you can if you can try! And your wrong! Even if you were skinny you'd still be insecure about something!
Laurel: I know your just saying that because your my dad... plus this morning I threw up the breakfast I had because I wanted to work on having a flat stomach! I've always been insecure about my stomach even before you came into my life, that's why I stopped taking swimming lessons, plus that's why I'm wearing your sweater! Because I can't see myself like this! Plus I wasn't even cold alright! I lied! I took the sweater so you don't see this!
Noah: *sighs* don't change yourself because you want to be like your friends or anyone, change it because it's the choice you make! Not because Addison is skinny or because Natalie is skinny, you decide, not me or your friends! Now take off the sweater and look at yourself in the mirror, because one day you are going to tell me that I was right!
Laurel: *takes off the sweater* See!?
Noah: I'm taking this back and your not going to get it back until You learn to love to reef because of you!
Laurel: *starts to cry* I can't! I can't love myself the way I did before! It's hard! But fine *throws Noah's sweater back at him* here's the sweater! I'm finding one in my closet
Noah: No! Don't wear a sweater!
Laurel: why not? Like you always said, it's my choice! This wasn't my choice to be fat!
Noah: Laur... I know this is hard thing to go through, belive me, I have 2 older sisters... but you will get through it if you think positive things about yourself! Plus if you need to eat less, let me know so I know! Don't always waste your food and throw it up! Don't... please!
Laurel: ...
Noah: Promise Me you will eat properly from now on!
Laurel...
I couldn't even keep this promise... i would still throw up whatever I eat, I'd rather make myself starve but dad doesn't want me too because something bad will happen...
Noah: Promise Me! *tears starts falling down* Please Laurel
Laurel: fine... I Promise
Noah: good! *more tears come falling down his cheeks* *gets up and hugs Laurel*
Laurel: *hugs back*
Noah: I love you Laurel.
Laurel: I love you too
Noah: *leaves the bedroom*
Laurel: *closes and slides down her door* *still crying*
Noah: *slides down her door with tears in his eyes and starts to cry*
