Not Too Fat

Chapter 5

"He's really sweet," Mom said. I smiled just thinking about him. "The way he looks at you is the way all girls want to be looked at by a boy." I laughed.
"Quoting Gatsby now are we?" I asked. Mom playfully slapped my shoulder.
"I know, but it's true. He just has so much love in his eyes," she said.
"Mom, we're just friends. I'm sure he doesn't even think about me in that way."
"Jane, I saw the way he looks at you. It's like you're the only thing that matters to him." I sighed.
"I'm going to the honest here. I feel this connection to him but I don't know what it is or what it means. I've never felt this way about anyone. It's like when we're together, I feel safe and complete. When we're apart, I feel vulnerable and empty," I said. Mom just stared at me. She opened her mouth to say something but then shut it.
"How about we eat dinner?" She asked, changing the subject. I sighed and nodded my head.

Dylan:

"How long do we have to be here?" Brandon whined.
"As long as I want. If you keep complaining we'll be here longer. Now hush," I growled. Brandon huffed and plopped himself in a chair. He started playing his PSP and shouting "die bitch!"
I focused my wolf hearing to hear what they were talking about.
"You really think he likes me?" Jane asks. I don't like you, I love you.
"Why wouldn't he? You're beautiful, sweet, caring, and everything else," Mrs. Harris says. She's perfect.
"But I'm not skinny. He's built. And the jocks don't go for fat girls, Mom," Jane said. I growled.
"Jane, if the only thing he cares about is size then he's not worth your time. But I don't think he cares." Damn right I don't care.
"I do like him. I just don't think he feels the same about me." Jane sighed and got up.
'We should make her feel better' Axel said.
'I know. But how?'
'You're smart. You'll figure it out.'
'You aren't going to help me?' I asked, frustrated. Axel shrugged. 'Thanks for nothing you useless canine.' Axel was about to say something but I blocked him out.
"I need to make my mate feel better," I said, pacing.
"Feel better?" Janson questioned.
"About her size. She thinks I won't like her because of her size. I don't know why she would think that. I'm her mate-" Brandon cut me off.
"She's human. She doesn't know dude," he said, not looking up from his game.
"Right. I don't know what to do." I sat down and started pulling at the grass.
'I know what to do!' Axel shouted.

THE NEXT DAY

Jane:

I walked into the bathroom and opened the cabinet. This is it. I'm going to do it today. I grabbed the pill bottle and stuffed it in my bag. I walked downstairs.
"Morning sweetie," Mom said.
"Morning mom," I said back. I walked up to her and gave her a hug. "I love you. Don't you ever forget that."
"Uh, I love you too Jane," she said. She doesn't know why I'm saying this.
"Well I better get to school," I said, walking out of the door.
"Bye! Have a good day!" I closed the door and went to my car. I felt the tears burning my eyes, just waiting to fall. I started the car and zoomed off the school.
I pulled into the parking lot and took a deep breath. I got out and started to walk into the school. I opened the big doors and everyone was jogging to place to place. A paper airplane whizzed by my head.
"I think a hippo has escaped the zoo," Chloe said to her minions. They started laughing and I kept walking. I felt a hand pull on my shoulder turning me around. "I'm talking to you, pig."
"Stop," I said, but my voice was barely a whisper.
"What? You know what it doesn't even matter. Just get out of my way," she said, shoving me into a locker. The center of my back hit the lock. I winced in pain and walked to my locker. I took the lock in my hands and put in the combination. I opened the locker and paint splattered all over me. I heard laughing from every direction. I dove into my locker looking for my locket. I pulled it out and it was covered in red paint.
"You bitch," I said. I stormed into the restroom, tears streaming down my face. I ran the locket under hot water and rinsed it off. I opened it and stared at the picture. It was of me and my mom. I started to rub off the paint from my shirt but gave up. It wasn't coming out. I rinsed off my face and walked out of the bathroom. I walked into class and everyone stared at me.
"Jane? What happened?" Mr. Dumbroski asked. I pointed towards Chloe's snickering face. I sat down in my chair and Dylan was staring at me.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"No." I ignored him and Mr. Dumbroski went on with class.
Maybe I should just end it all. There's no way it will work out between Dylan and I. Chloe is getting meaner by the second. I don't think I can take it anymore.
The bell rang, bringing me from my thoughts. I walked out ignoring Dylan shouting my name. I went to my locker and, not to my surprise, Chloe was waiting.
"Move," I ordered.
"You did not just tell me what to do. You didn't even address who I was," she said. I rolled my eyes.
"Fine. Move out of the way, bitch!" I yelled. She looked at me as if I grew another eyeball. She then got closer to my face.
"Listen here, pig. Just because you have daddy issues doesn't mean you can take it out on me," she said.
"Wait a min-" she cut me off.
"You wanna know where daddy is now? He's with a wife he absolutely adores and kids he actually loves. And you're here shoving your fat face with whatever you can find. While your whore of a mother sleeps around just to pay the bills."
I felt the tears fall down my face and everyone was now staring at us. I decided to run into the bathroom. I opened a stall and sat down. I brought my book bag up and opened it. I removed the pills. Just do it. No one loves you anyway. You'll stop all the pain and tormenting. You won't feel anything anymore. No one will miss you.
With those thoughts in my head I grabbed the pill bottle and tried to open it.

Dylan:

I heard Chloe yelling at my mate. After seeing what she did to her before, Axel was furious. I, myself, was furious too. I saw Jane run into the bathroom with tears running down her face. My heart broke at the sight of that.
'Let's kill her' Axel growled.
'As much as I want to, we can't.'
'That bitch hurt our mate. She needs to at least feel pain.'
'Agreed.'
I walked up to Chloe. She turned around and smiled at me.
"Come to claim your prize?" She said, trailing her fingers down my chest. I stopped her by grabbing her hand.
"I will never be interested in a slut like you. You just want attention so you go around and sleep with every guy in the school. Not to mention you want to be a complete bitch to someone who hasn't done a single thing to you. Are you really that low? I guess you are but then again you don't care. You're a low life self centered slut bag. Go fuck yourself," I growled. She stood there dumbfounded. The other wolves felt my power radiating off of me. They showed their necks in submission.
"No one has every spoke to me like that before," she said.
"Well I just don't take shit from some poor attention seeker," I said.
"Why do you care so much about her? She's worthless trash," Chloe said. I almost lunged at her when a female wolf punched her square in the jaw. Chloe stumbled backward. I patted Marcy on the shoulder.
'Good work' I mind linked her.
'Thank you alpha' she said.
"Don't talk about Jane that way," Marcy growled. Speaking of Jane, where is she?
'Anyone know where your Luna is?' I mind linked everyone.
'She should still be in the bathroom alpha' Ben said.
'Okay.'
'Something's wrong' Axel said.
'I know.' We got closer to the bathroom when a girl stopped me.
"This is the girls bathroom," she said, pointing to the sign.
"No shit. Move," I growled. She shrugged her shoulders and moved. As soon as I walked in I heard Jane crying. I moved towards the stalls. I went to the last one. I opened the door and my heart almost shattered.
