Faking happiness - A Lisa Cimorelli story

Chapter 7

* Dave's POV*

I'm so thankful for staying here, other wise I'd have to leave and I can't even go for a week without Lisa. I smile and close my eyes to get some sleep.

*7am*

I woke up, because of my alarm. It's Monday, so that means a new week of school. I walk silently to Lisa's, Lauren's and Dani's room, I can hear them snoring. I open the door and walk towards Lisa when I hear someone saying, “What are you doing here Dave?” I look up and see that it's Lauren. “I'm here to wake up Lisa.” “Oh” and she gets out of here bed and walk towards the bathroom. I look back at Lisa and see that she's still sleeping, she looks like an angel when she's sleeping. An angel without any problems. I grab her phone and take a picture of her and tweet it on her account.

@LisaCim: Going to wake up my girlfriend, but had to take a picture first. Look how adorable she is! - Dave.

Two seconds later her interactions explode, mostly with the question why I am at her house. I put her phone away and gently kiss her forehead, then her cheek, her nose and I end on her lips. She smiles while I kiss her on her lips, “Goodmorning Dave!” She says with a smile, her smile is the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. I can't imagine losing her. “Goodmorning beautiful, it's another week of the amazing place, called school.” I say sarcastically. “Haha, yay! Why did you have to take a picture of me?” “Wait, you were awake?” “Yep, I've been awake since Lauren talked to you haha.” She says popping the 'p'. I smile and say, “because you looked like an angel.” She blushes. I smile at her and turn around to walk out of her room.

*Lisa's POV*

Dave is so cute, he woke me up today and after that he made me breakfast. I can't imagine having him to move to Boston, I'm so happy that my parents let him stay here! “Lisa, we have to go or we will be late for school!” I hear someone yelling, probably Dani. I walk to Dave's and Alex's room, “guys, we have to go.” They both nod.

~At school~

I walk through the hallways when I hear some people whispering, “Isn't she the girl that started a band with her sisters?” I turn around to look who said that and answer, “yep that's me.” I say popping the p. “O-okay, you are an amazing singer!” She says, I smile at her and thank her. I walk to my lockers when someone grabs my arm and pulls me into the girls bathroom, she puts a hand on my mouth so I can't scream.

“Oh well, look who we have here. Our popular girl, who doesn't have any problems, right?” I look up as I recognize the voice, it's my ex-best friend, Melissa. We broke up our friendship, because she started spreading rumors about me and she would always point out my flaws and my insecurities. She would just make me feel bad about myself.

~Flashback~

“Hey Lisa! Do you want to go to a restaurant with me?” I turn around and see Melissa, my best friend. “Sure!” “Okay, let's go then, fatty.” I pretend I didn't hear it, but it actually hurts. She knows I had body-image problems when I was around 15/16. “Hey, I was kidding.” she says. “I know.” We walk to the restaurant and take a seat by the window so we can check out people who walk by. We choose what we want to eat. I take some chicken wings, fries and a salad, Melissa takes a salad and some garlic bread. “Are you sure you want to take chicken wings and fries? It's not healthy for you and you know you could lose some weight. I mean look at your ass, it got a lot bigger in 3 months.” I gasped, I can't believe my “best friend” just said that. “Thanks.” She smiles. Why would she feel happy when she makes people feel miserable.

After dinner I went to the toilets, I feel so fat. I've eaten way too much, but these wings and fries tasted so good, I couldn't resist them. I decided something I thought I'd never do, I puked. Not by accident, I did it on purpose. I felt awful after it, why did I do this?
