ANA

twelve

Ana shows no mercy

She'll take your life away

If you give any chance

In your head she'll stay

chapter twelve:

I was almost falling asleep when I heard the door being opened. I kept my eyes closed and pretended I was already sleeping. I knew it was visitors' hour and I wanted to be with my family and my friends as much as I could, but I was so tired that I couldn't even keep my eyes open.

The person sat down on an empty chair next to my bed and grabbed my hand, rubbing their thumb over the back of it. "Hey Maya"

I recognized that voice very well. It was Miles. He was whispering, not wanting to wake me up.

"I'm so tired of seeing you like this, lying down on this hospital bed, weak and tired. I really hope you get better soon." He let out a sigh and then dropped my hand. "I really wish I could have helped you sooner. I should have never left you with Ana." He sighed. "She's gone, you know. Nobody knows what happened but she has moved out from our city. She's not going to hurt you anymore." 

It was such a relief to hear that. I didn't know what I'd do if I had to see her again in school when they released me from the hospital. 

There were a few minutes of silence and for a moment I thought he had left but he spoke again.

"I love you, Maya. I'm still trying to figure out if I love you as a friend or something more than that but I know that I love you and I really care about you and even though you're not listening to this confession right now, I really hope you know that." 

He kissed my forehead lightly and then he kissed my hand. He got up and I heard him walk away. I knew I couldn't let him leave the room without knowing I had heard his little secret. 

"I love you too, Miles." I whispered, knowing he would still hear me anyway. 

the end

(a/n): I hope you enojoyed reading ANA and I hope you enjoy reading my next story as well! I've decided to write a book about another mental illness but I haven't decided which one I'm going to write about next. I'm probably going to post the first chapter today or tomorrow so stay tuned! 

For the people who have/had an eating disorder, just remember that it's not worth starving just to be skinny. Overweight people are as beautiful as thin people. Being healthy is what really matters. 

If you ever want to talk about this (or about something else), just message me here on wattpad and I'll answer you as fast as possible. 

  I wanted to end this with a big thank you to those who supported my book. I love you all!
