MIRRORS.

Chapter 5

Kairo's POV

{Sunday Night}

I was upstairs watching Tv in my room when my mom called me down to eat. I'm still avoiding eating. I haven't ate a full meal in about 3 days. I feel a little woozy sometimes but I just shrug it off. My body will get used to it eventually..

"I'm not hungry, ma." I said as I came down the stairs.

She looked at me with narrowed eyes for a minute. "Mija, have you been eating right? You look...." she stopped to think, "pale and dehydrated..." she said.

"I'm fine mama, just tired..." I lied. This isn't the first time I've avoided eating so my mom probably saw through my facade. The only reason why I'm actually feeling nauseated and it's really noticeable is because I never did it this long, only a day at the most.

She looked at me for a minute then I saw sympathy in her eyes.

"Oh great.... My mom pities me now too...." I thought to myself.

"Sweetheart, are you avoiding eating again to lose weight?? I already told you, you have a great body! You're just curv--" I cut her off in mid-sentence.

"No ma, I'm not doing that again. I'm just not hungry, so can you please just drop it??" I said, lying through my teeth. "No! I'm not gonna 'Just drop it' when my daughter is standing in front of me looking like she's gonna drop dead any minute because she WON'T EAT!!" she screamed, hurt evident in her voice.

She wasn't mad at me, she was just hurt at the thought of me doing what I'm doing. I sighed deeply.

"Okay, fine ma... I'll eat..." I reluctantly agreed.

She sat my plate at the table and I sat in front of it. I slowly started to eat the food. She shot me a "Don't make me shove that plate down your throat" look so I ate a little faster.

When she noticed I was eating regularly she went upstairs. I finished eating then went into my bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror for a minute. I lifted up my shirt and looked at my stomach.

"Fat ass..." I mumbled to myself.

I put my shirt down and walked over to the toilet. I lifted up the seat, put two fingers down my throat, and emptied the contents of my stomach. I felt super light headed and dizzy afterwards so I decided to shower then go to bed.

{Next Morning}

When I woke up the next morning I showered and put on my clothes. Sweats and a hoodie; the usual. I went downstairs and my mom was sitting at the island.

"Good morning Kai." my mom said, kissing my cheek. "Morning ma." I replied. She looked at my apparel.

"Baby why don't you ever dress up a little? You always wear clothes like you're about to go to a gym or something.." she said. I shrugged, "I like being comfortable." I lied.

"You can be comfortable in jeans." I shook my head frantically. "No mama, I don't think so...." I said. "Nope, you're gonna wear something different today. Go in there and eat the breakfast I made you and when you're done you're outfit will be on your bed." she said.

Before I could object any further she was already up the stairs.

Chris' POV

I got up the next morning and got ready for school. I did my usual morning routine then went to my closet to get dressed. I decided on wearing a red polo v-neck, some black cargo pants, and my Raptor 7s.
