Forbidden Lovers

Chapter 15

I had the best boyfriend in the world! He understood everything, he even made Lilly hurt less. I'd show him a picture later. As I climbed out of the shower, I looked in the mirror at my bare body. First I saw fat rolls and stretch marks and chubby cheeks. But then it's like my eyes cleared for the first time. I could see my ribs and I had a flat belly, my thighs didn't touch, my hip bones jutted out, my cheek bones jutted out of my face slighty and I was pale all over. I saw what I was. And then I saw my bare arms. What I put them through. I think I was finally becoming okay.

I was very very wrong. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"SKYLAAAAAA!!!" I was awoken rudely by Talia running into my room screaming at the top of her lungs, and jumping on my bed. I groaned and brought myself to slowly open one eye, and then the other. Being blinded by the bright light that she had turned on.

"Yessss Talia?" I rubbed my eyes and climbed out of bed. I had had my cast taken off about a month ago so now I was back in my normal room thank goodness, and it had been about 2 months since I had told Daniel everything. Since then I'd had exams at school and things like that, it had been stressful but I'd put in the effort and revision so I hoped I'd done okay. I did more exams again in a few months' time, but for now I was pretty much stress free. Also mine and Daniel's relationship was coming along well, though before you think "Ooh it's going well;)" I didn't mean that well.

"Don't you know what today is?!?!" I racked my brains but came out clueless, 26th February? The date meant nothing to me. Had I missed a birthday or event or something? Was Taylor Swift coming to visit me and become my best friend today? She rolled her eyes at me and sighed heavily as if it was completely and utterly obvious. Maybe the Taylor Swift thing was next week then. It was fine, I could wait.

"It's three months until prom!!!! Until we graduate!!!! Eeeeeeek!!" I groaned, that was scary. I hadn't given any thought to prom or graduation yet, it had seemed so far away before. I didn't want to grow up. I hadn't had any college acceptances yet either, a few of my friends had already. Mum said that they're all probably fighting over me. She only said it to make me feel better and I knew it.

"Talia 3 months is a long time. It's 7 in the morning please don't tell me that that's all you woke me up for?" She shook her head, her eyes were shining and she had the biggest smile I had ever seen on anyone before. She was bouncing up and down on my bed (ooooh sexual ;) JK) in excitement, not really caring about messing up my duvet.

"No!!! It's just, well you know that valentine's day was a few weeks ago?" I nodded, me and Daniel had had the most romantic day ever, it had been a Saturday luckily, and he had a huge bear dropped off early and it held a red rose, with a note attatched to it. The note told me that I was beautiful, and to be ready for 10am. So I was, in a cute dress and flats with my hair curled and natural makeup on. I had his gift ready, I had gotten him an expensive watch that I knew he wanted, as well as a box of chocolates (I know that normally a guy gives a girl that, but you do not understand just how much he loves chocolate. The doorbell rang and there stood a man in a suit and hat, he handed me another note with my boyfriend's handwriting on it which had read "hey baby, happy valentine's day! Come with Richard and you will soon see what's in store," stuck to it was a loveheart sweet that said "You're mine." It was so cute! I had followed the man into a posh car, and he had driven me to a huge ballroom. Me and Daniel had danced and talked all day, it was so romantic. He loved his watch, and he ate a few chocolates and fed me some as well. I picked good chocolates. At the end of the day he went in my bedroom with me and kissed me (which lead to a heated make out session that left us breathless) and that's when he said "I love you" for the first time. I had been so shocked and happy I cried, and then hugged him and said it back. And then he gave me a signed Taylor Swift Red CD which I fangirl over every day. Turns out his uncle works at Big Machine Records so he got me it (I HAVE GOT TO MEET HIS UNCLE) but that's what happened anyways. That night I fell asleep against him, with my heart pounding and feeling like the luckiest girl in the world.
