Changes: A New Life Book 2

Chapter 23: Come back home

"Dear Vincent,

I'm dying from the inside to out. Why did you have to leave so early in my life? I don't know how much longer I can do without you. You are my world Vincent, and to be my world you need to be in it. But I see that didn't work out very well. It has been 3 weeks since you have gone, and I haven't barely ate or drank anything. Like I told you, I'm dying. I need you to come back home, I need you to help me survive this terrible world we are in. Please come home.

With love, Spencer."

I put the book down on the night stand and stared at all the plates of food in the room. I couldn't eat anymore, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't live. Right now I'm just existing.

Meghan got me a therapist again, the one I had before quit her job. Which is sad, I actually liked her. This new girl was in her 30's and her name was Roxeanne Humberts. I was supposed to be getting ready but, I haven't even moved.

"Spencer I am coming in.", said Meghan. When she walked in, she gazed at all the plates of untouched food in the room. "Here put this on.", she said handing me black pants and a shirt. I nodded and grabbed the clothes. I slowly put them on my fragile body, I felt like glass. And I was going to burst open any second now.

"You are very sick Spencer.", Meghan assured me. "I think your becoming an...."

"No.", I said sternly.

"Yes you are. You need help.", she said again.

"I'm perfectly fine don't you see?", I said lying. That was the biggest lie of all, I was far from fine.

"Just come on.", she said walking out of the room. So I followed her.

***

We walked into this lit up office that was very welcoming.

"Can you tell us where we could find Ms. Johnson?", Meghan asked.

"Third floor, second door.", the woman said with a smile. She gave me a sympathetic look as I walked toward the elevator.

The whole way up, she didn't speak a word to me. Instead she waited in the waiting room until I got done. As I opened the door, Hannah was in there.

"I'm s-sorry for interrupting.", I said shutting the door.

"NO! Wait, Spencer come back in here.", Hannah said. I opened the door and walked in.

"Spencer?", she said eyeballing me. Tears flashed in and out of her eyes.

"I-I k-know I look bad.", I said looking down at my feet.

"Meghan said you were sick, but I didn't you would be this sick.", she said.

"Girls, please can we have a seat so we can start this appointment?", said Ms. Johnson.

I nodded and took a seat.

"So Ms. Deals?", she asked me. I nodded.

"Have you always been this small?", she asked me looked at my body. I slightly shook my head.

"Okay, me and your friend here have been talking about some reasons for your recent behavior.", she said looking down at her clipboard.

I know exactly what was wrong with me. Vincent is gone.

"Your fiance has joined the army, am I correct?", she asked me looking above her glasses.

I gave her a slight nod.

"And Meghan has told me that you have barely eaten anything in the past 3 weeks. Am I correct?"

Nodded.
