Ava's POV

Ever since the incident with Landon, I was worried about Jack, I was hoping to God he wasn't going to do anything stupid the next day.
I saw him at school that Thursday and I noticed more layering than usual, that worried me but I wasn't going to bring it up until he did.
I sat down at his lunch table like always and like always he smiled at me.
"Hi Ava" he said
"Hi Jack" I responded
He opened his small black lunch box to eat and I did the same. We brought the same thing that day and ironically it was both our favorites. Pb&j sandwich, potato chips, chocolate cookies, and apple juice.
"We twinned today" I told him
He nodded in agreement and looked down again.
"Are you ok?" I asked him
"I'm fine" he told me, his voice cracking and broken sounding.
Instead of asking more, I hugged him reassuringly and he started crying we didn't say a word, and probably stayed like that for a good 5 minutes.
"You can tell me if you want" I told him reassuringly
He hesitated a moment and sighed. "Yesterday when I got home Landon texted me threats. Saying how he was planning something big since I saved you" he explained. "Then_" he paused and held back tears, I held his hand reassuringly letting him finish. "I couldn't do it anymore Ava, I ended up doing it again" he told me as he showed me the bandage on his arm. "And that wasn't the worst part, my parents came home early and my dad walked in on me doing it" he informed me.
Then he really started to cry, I hugged him and comforted him, letting him know it was going to be ok.
"Jack its ok, we are human, even I mess up sometimes" I explained.
"What do you mean?" He wondered
I hesitated, wondering if I said too much.
"Well last night was rough, I purged again" I told him.
He looked as sad as I did and hugged me like I did.
"Did anyone find out?" He worriedly asked
"No thank God" I replied
"I don't think you need to do that, I think you're perfect" he told me and smiled.
I smiled back, I needed that today.

At home stuff started getting worse, it seemed my father was frustrated with me but always assured me he was fine, and my mother spent more time with Jonas more than usual which was fine of course, but it seemed she was always busy with him when I needed her.
Tonight we were having pizza for dinner, I hate it when we have pizza, that meant id have to purge, I hoped to God no one caught me.

Dinner was over (thank God) and I only had 1 piece, and of course my mother pleaded me to eat more as usual, so I did just for her.

My dad was watching tv and my brother was in his room, and my mom left to go out with her friends to a bar so I figured it would be a good time.
I checked on him from the hall and he seemed very engaged in his UFO documentary he was watching so I slipped away into the bathroom.
I locked the door and breathed a minute, then I walked over to the toliet and lifted both seats and got down to it. I put my long hair in a ponytail and stuck my fingers in the back of my throat. I tried my best to be as quite as I could as I watched all the food fall, it was disgusting and made me wanna puke more. Just then I heard loud footsteps that sounded like my dad.
"Ava are you ok" he asked me
I had no idea what to say
"Uh yeah I'm fine" I told him hoping he would leave.

Unfortunately I was wrong

I heard a loud noise that sounded like the lock breaking and the door opened revealing my dad.

I regretted everything in my life from there.
