Tw! Eating disorder/purging

The day was almost over. By now people's stomach were grumbling in hunger. Hence people lining up to get food. I was so tempted to grab a bite. One cheat day would hurt right? When my mother wasn't looking I walked off to stand in line.

Eventually it was my turn, my mouth watered at all food laid out. I choose a simple cheeseburger along with some fries. I decide to drink water with it. I think I'll drink lots of water so I won't eat so much food. I'll be half filled with water and the other half food. I take my burger and pay. I walk off to the back of the building to eat. I can be seen by people eating like a fat pig.

I take a seat on the cold cement ground, taking a bite of the burger. I hear footsteps coming my way and I panick,placing down my burger. I sigh in relied when it's Alaia,"What are you doing here?" I ask looking up from my sitting position.

"The real question is what are you doing here" She retorts the same question to me."I came here for the shade" I lie easily. She nods in understanding."It is hot today" She says while sitting next to me.

I take a bite of my burger while looking off into the distance. Alaia nudges my elbow,"I saw you talking with Theo. What was that about?" She asks curious.

I shrug,"It was nothing he was just asking what time we should meet up for the tutoring lession"

She hits her forehead,"I totally forgot about that" She looks over to me.

I sigh while taking a bite of one of my fries,"Yeah me to"

"Emilia!" A voice yells. A voice I know as my mother. I stand up quickly and throw my food away in a near trash can. I wipe my mouth of any of the evidence before she comes.

I let her come my way," Over here mother" I tell her. She spots me and comes torwards me."Alaia" She acknowledges Alaia, Alaia smiling in return. "Now if you'll excuse us darling" She tells Alaia and drags me off to a secure place.

"Open your mouth" My mom says sternly with her eyebrows raised."Mom" I try to reason with her about her ridiculous actions."Emila Francesca Grimaldi " My face drops at my government name. Oh shit. I should let have ate anything, she's going to find out.I reluctantly open my mouth, she inspects it and takes her damn time.

She slaps me. I grip my the side of my face in disgust. I knew she would hit me or something of that sort but slap me?Before she can utter a world I walk off. I don't need her explanation, a mother should not hit her child. I walk past Alaia, her yelling my name but im in my own world. I snatch a water bottle off the table and angerly walk off to inside the school.

I head straight torwards the bathroom and lock the door behind me. I go into a stall and shut it the stall door. I get down on my knees and chung the water bottle. I stick my finger down my throat and try to throw up the food. The only thing I felt in that moment was guilt and anger. Guilt for eating the food and anger for my mom's actions. I lean forward and hurl into the toilet. The sound of me hurling echoing through the bathroom.
