When we got to the restaurant, we had the best time ever! We talked about everything. The only thing I couldn't tell him about was about how I make myself throw up. I'm really happy he finally decided to ask me out.
When I got home. I looked in the mirror.. My enemy. It told me how fat I was, and how I didn't deserve to have anyone to like me. I ran to the bathroom and gagged myself till I threw up blood. I barely ate all day. I just want to be happy. I feel like if I keep doing this, I might actually be happy someday.
But then I remember.. The girl. My dad. Chris. The people at school. I will never be happy. I will never be able to have a normal life. Who the heck is the girl, living in my basement? If it is my sister, why would my mom lie about it? Lying about it would only make it worse, not better. So how was it for my own good? I need to figure this out, but I also need to give myself a break. At this rate, my head is going to explode. I go to the bathroom and throw up one more time. Time for bed I guess.
------------------------------------------------------
I wake up crying my eyes out. I want to go home, but I also don't want to go home. I'm hurt, confused, and want to be happy for once. Yeah, Chris is making it a little better but-
*ring ring*
I look at my phone and I have a text from a blocked number. "Meet me outside now!!"
What the heck? Who would it be? I make sure I look good and head outside only to see... The girl. The girl from the basement.
"Why are you here?" I yell. This is not my sister. It will never be my sister.
"I came to apologize. We need to talk. It's a very, very, long story. Please let-"
"No. I'm not talking to a complete stranger let alone someone I've known my whole life who lied to me. Good bye." I turn and start to walk away, when she grabs me. "DON'T touch me!"
"I'm just trying to help! Please listen to me!"
"No! You're not helping in any way! If anything, you're hurting me! Good bye!"
I'm so done with this. I'm sick of being lied to. I run upstairs and lie in my bed and cry. I can't sleep. Nothing is going right. I just want to know what's going on!
------------------------------------------------------
*beep beep beep beep*
Ugh! I'm dreading this day more than any other day in my life. I walk to the bathroom to do my daily morning puke and when I finish, I start getting ready. The drive to school seems like it's taking forever. I'm tired and don't want to go. Sadly I have to.
After school, I got a call from my mom saying if I didn't come home, I would be grounded. I don't care though. That's not my home any more.
Chris asked me to come hang out. I looked at my enemy, and puked 3 more times. I walked outside and he was standing by his car. He said "Are you okay? You don't look so good."
"Yeah... I'm fine"
"Don't try to fool me. When a girl says she's fine, she means the opposite. What's wrong?"
"I'm too fat for you. You're way out of my league. I feel like you could do way better."
"I could never do better. You're perfect! And I love you.."
"You..Love me?"
"Yes.. I've loved you since 3rd grade. You're perfect for me. I've never loved anyone else the way I love you. You're beautiful."
