Imperfections- JLS Aston fanfic

Part 9

 *two weeks later*

*Cassie’s point of view*

I’d spent the last two weeks much the same, feeling good when Aston was around but sent straight back into oblivion whenever I thought of work or had text messages of Eliza. I’d gotten to the point where it had become an addition to throw up every time I ate, but I thought maybe this was the best way to be…sure I was stopping Aston from worrying but still pleasing Eliza and loosing weight. I’d been going to the gym everyday for at least a four hour work out and it was starting to show, my body had become much more tonned and it was boosting my weight loss, but I wasn’t entirely sure how much longer I could live like this, I was getting to the point where I fell asleep regularly because my body was so weak and every ounce of pain oozed through my body.

‘You ready to hit the gym?’ Aston smiled appearing at my doorstep. I’d promised him for two weeks now that we could do a session together, now I was used to the exercise regime.

‘Yeah’ I smiled grabbing my water bottle of the side and following him out into his car

‘I’ve got rehearsals later so I thought we’d just do a two hour workout?’ I asked

‘Yeah that’s fine…’ I smiled

We continued to chat in the car on the way to the gym having a catch up on anything we’d missed out on with each other over the last couple of weeks. Aston had been really busy with work and with me being in the gym everyday we hadn’t had much time to catch up.

After getting caught up in some nasty traffic jams, we finally pulled up outside the gym and headed inside, putting our stuff in lockers before we started our workouts. First the running machines for 30 minutes solid. I always struggled with the first half an hour of any workout, but you just had to push through it.

‘Are you ok? You’ve gone really pale?’ Aston asked worried

‘Yeah im fine’ I said, every breath hurting even more from the weakness of my body

‘Well just take it easy…sit out if you need a rest’ he smiled wiping his face with a towel

‘Im fine…’ I smiled hoping onto another piece of gym equipment

We’d now spent an hour and a half in the gym working solidly, Aston gave me even more encouragement to keep going with the workout and with Eliza’s voice screeching in my head every time I took I rest I had to continue…

‘Are you sure your ok?’ he asked again

‘Ast….if I wasn’t well I’d tell you’ I smiled

*Astons point of view*

‘I think you need some water at least’ I said getting off my exercise equipment and walking over to her…she really did look unwell

‘Ok’ she stuttered, her face completely white and her eyes struggling to stay open as she got off the exercise bike and began to walk towards me. Holding onto the handle bars for support.

‘Cassie are you ok?’ I asked

‘No…’ she breathed ‘I just feel…like…’ she stuttered as her legs buckled from beneath her and she hit the floor hard blacking out…Shit
