WARNING
THIS WILL CONTAIN MENTION OF EATING DISORDER AND PUKING/VOMITING
"Juliette" She heard as the headphones were pulled of her head.
"Yeah?" She asked as she looked up at Mrs. Martini who then sat down beside the girl on said girls bed.
"You and Ethel are being sent to a foster home." The woman simply responded.
"Are we going to the same one?" The girl asked, hoping that was the case, Ethel was the closest thing to a sister that she had, even if they hadn't known each other for that long.
"Yes together, Juliette. Now please pack what you need to take with you and then come eat breakfast with the rest of us." Mrs. Martini said as she got up and walked out of the room the girl was in.
Juliette got up, she already what to pack, she had tried this so many times before, the list she had written the first time she was adopted was now pinned mentally into her brain due to the many times she had gone through this.
So she packed what she knew she needed, could never go wrong with a little spare clothes just in case the foster family wasn't prepared with clothes her size, she packed her favorite books along with the one she was currently reading, her headphones of course, her phone which was really old, she had the phone for a long time, she bought it for herself a couple years ago, that's how things were here, you worked for a little amount of money, such as helping with cleaning, laundry, cooking and tugging the little kids in and reading them bedtime stories for the ones who wanted that.
She packed poloraid photos of her and friends from this place even though she almost always came back it wasn't always a sure thing that others wouldn't have found their forever home just because she couldn't, she also packed her poloraid camera, she also had pictures with Ethel, Mrs. Martini even.
After packing everything she went to go get breakfast with the rest of them saying good morning to the people she met on the way there and to the people there, Ethel came over and sat beside the girl plate in hand in her usual clothing.
"Can you believe it, we're gonna be in a home together, not to be mean even though I'd rather be where I used to than here, then I'm grateful that I will at least be somewhere with you, my favourite person." Ethel spoke.
"Aww, you're so sweet Ethel and don't worry you're not being mean at all." The girl spoke, Ethel was almost half done with her food, along with everyone else who were finishing their food one by one, except Juliette she hadn't touched hers yet.
"Juliette.." A young woman sat down beside the girl, she wasn't much older than Juliette the girl was almost twenty, had spent most of her life in foster care too, never found her forever home, when she turned eighteen she left the foster care system and just became a regular adult, now she worked at the same place she had stayed most of her life, she just couldn't leave even though she had a house, a boyfriend and a little baby on the way.
"Juliette, I know it can be hard but you gotta try to eat alright?" She wasn't being mean about it or angry at her for not eating she was more concerned she then walked away not wanting to force the girl but just wanting to remind the girl to just take it one day at a time.
Juliette looked at her plate a little studying it, the staff here knew about her trouble eating, so they even gave her smaller portions so that she didn't have to stress about finishing that much, just taking a couple bites was a start, she did end up eating half of her food.
The staff was proud of her for it, they just didn't know about what happened after.
Juliette went to the bathroom, she sat on her knees in front of the toilet and pulled her hair into a low bun so it wasn't in the way, she closed her hand except for two finger, her middle finger and index finger as she opened her mouth and put her fingers into her mouth as far as she could, until she puked everything up that she had just eating not wanting to gain the weight.

TRIGGER WARNING !!
If you are struggling with eating, then I know what you're going through, I've been there, I've had a binge eating disorder then I started eating almost nothing, I however I guess I would say I had it easy, I had my lovely mother to help me through it, I struggled with under eating because I wasn't skinny, still am not, but I'm eating healthy now and I'm working on different ways to loose weight instead of starving myself, I'm sorry about my little rant but I just wanted you guys to know that it IS POSSIBLE to get through this, if you get the right help and have the mindset through it, you will get better, I did.
