Jessica:

After being switched again onto better depression, anxiety, anorexia, and PTSD medications, came the physical and talk about my weight problems

"So it seems you're about 20 to 25 pounds underweight for your height and for your age" the doctor started as she sat in front of me. I saw Ashton behind her frown and pinch the bridge of his nose, "Now Jessica, I know you probably don't trust me --"

"No I don't actually and I'm not going to talk about my problems with you or anyone" I spat and she cleared her throat and Ashton glared at me

"That's enough Jess" he said and I gritted my jaw

"Jessica, I've been doing this long enough to know when I see it, and I know that given the medications you're on anorexia is something you're battling with" she said and I clenched my jaw, "is this true?" she asked. I nodded, "Jessica, I'm not saying gain 20 to 30 pounds but you need to gain weight whether you like it or not. It's not safe nor healthy especially with the medications you're on" she said

"I want my body this way" I said and she swallowed and nodded, looking down at her clipboard

"There are many ways we can help. But at first, I'm going to need to you stop losing weight, and gain at least 3 pounds by the next time I see you" she said, "I'm sorry if you don't like it, but given you're a minor and your guardians and I have talked about it, there is nothing you can do" she said and I felt as if a knife was stabbed inside me

"You told her to do this?" I asked Ashton and he didn't move nor look at me

"It was a collective decision Jessica. I'm sorry but it's for the better" she said and stood up, leaving the room. I cleared my throat and felt as if my life was ending

"You want to kill me don't you?" I spat at him as tears welled up in my eyes and he cleared his throat as his face reddened

"Jesse we want to help"

"You've only known me for 2 days and you already want to change me" I cried and he got up to hug me and I pushed him away as I held my face and cried. He sighed and stood there as we waited for the other results of tests; pregnancy, STDs, blood work, you name it.
