Eating?

Chapter 3

Last time

"Here wear this I have another one in my bag," he says pulling off his hoddie; I smile slipping it on and inhaling his sent. He's still crouched down in front of me so I lean forward resting my head on his chest, his arms come around me pulling me off the toilet seat, he slowly stand up with me still against him.

"Come on, one of the boys will be here with your food any minute, so lets go get ready for cuddles and eating and friends." He moves slowly towards the door, he stops at the stairs waiting for me to move away from his chest so we can get down the stairs, when I don't move his hands move down to my waist and he picks me up I warp my legs around his waist and my arms go tightly around his neck.

"Rocky?" I say once we get to the couch, my voice still quite.

"Yeah?"

"I don't know if I can eat, it's been ages it just doesn't appetiser me, every time I see food I hear, don't eat that you to fat you'll get even fatter if you do" he puts his hand on my cheeks, he pulls my face away from where it was buried in to his neck.

"Maya, you're beautiful and perfect your body is fine. Okay you can take it slowly like you did last time, I'll be with you whole time, we'll get though it together, ok I'll always be there for you, ok I promise you, you'll make it." I can't help but smile, Rocky always knows how to boost me up, I don't fully believe that I'm beautiful and definitely not my body is perfect.

"I know you don't fully believe what I just told you but eventually you'll see how beautiful and perfect you are," he tells me.

"You know me too well" I tell him smiling wider

"I was starting to believe you before we came" I mutter as I move off him on to the couch next to him grabbing the remote and the blanket. I go to click play when the remote is taken out of my hand.

"What?" he asks

"Forget it," I say trying to grab the remote off him.

"Rocky seriously give me the remote," I say getting annoyed now.

"No why did you say I was starting to believe you, how much of the hate have you read Maya"

"I ignored it until after I posted that video of you me and Gus last night, there's so many comments saying I'm a slut and ugly and I need to loose weight and that you and Gus are just pitying me and soon your just going to find a better more pretty best friend who isn't worthless" I say my voice getting softer until its barley a whisper.

"Maya please try and stop reading the comments, ok none of them are true, I love you so much and I've promised you before but I'll promise again I'll never leave you ok."

"Ok I'll try" he smiles pulling me into a tight hug. We let go a minute or two later when the doorbell goes off.

"You want to come?" he asks as he stands up, I shake my head, pulling the sleeve of Rocky's hoodie down further even though its already longer then my arms. It reaches about 2 inches above my knees and the sleeves are at least 3 inches past my fingertips. He gives me a nod then heads down stairs I get up and go into the kitchen and get some cutlery and 2 plates and 2 glasses. I enter the lounge room at the same time Rocky does.

"Ok so we got pizza and chips and a Greek salad." Rocky tells me as I put the stuff down on the coffee table, I just give him a small nod, my mind saying pizza and chips are so fattening.

"Hey, we'll take this slow ok, I want you to eat at least one piece of pizza and a third of the salad by the time we leave ok" he says as he grabs my hands giving them a small squeeze, I give him a small smile and sit down on the couch, Rocky pulls the coffee table so that we can reach it when we lay down on the couch.
