Skin and Bones (GirlxGirl)

You're Not Alone

"What the hell is that supposed to mean silly?" I ask her.

"Just... please trust me on this. You really don't need to know."

I rolled my eyes, "You're really ridiculous sometime, you know that?"

Before she could answer, I heard Mikey calling out that supper was ready. I can feel my breathing becoming uneven. I really don't want to eat. I can't. There's no possible way I can justify myself getting any fatter.

I'll just tell them I'm not that hungry. I'm sure they'll understand.

Mikey's setting the table when we get in and all the little ones are already sitting down.

"Um... Mikey, you don't have to set me one. I'm not feeling that hungry."

Kairi looks at me oddly, "I think you need to eat, Sammy. After that practice, it would be pretty unhealthy not to."

I sigh, "I know... but really my stomach isn't up for it at the moment. I swear I'll munch on something before I go to bed, okay?"

"Promise?" Kairi asks with obvious worry in her eyes.

I think she was just faking it though so if she can why can't I?

"I promise."

Sorry Kairi, but if you've got debts that need to paid, then I'll do everything I can to help you win. Besides, I'll be fine. I have enough fat on my body to last me an entire lifetime.

They all dig in, and I stay at the table just so Kairi won't feel awkward on her own.

After that, we say our goodbyes, and I drive her and Lisa home.

As she was helping Lisa out of the car, the little girl whispers something to Kairi who blushes slightly and nods.

Kairi then comes over to my door and opens it, "Thanks, babe. Catch ya later!"

She wraps her arms around me in a quick hug and plants a quick kiss at the corner of my lips. I gasp loudly and she smirks before grabbing Lisa and running inside.

I sigh a bit. A tad confused as to why she had kissed me, but I brush it off and head to the studio to get a bit of practice in tonight.

Once I was there, I sat down for a while to try and compensate for all the dancing I did at practice earlier. Just trying to take a breather so nothing drastic happens while I'm dancing.

When I finally deem myself ready for more exercise, I start my music and begin stretching.

Finally satisfied, I turn on my dancing playlist and start working on a few poorly constructed routines that I've half-way pieced together over the years.

It was amazing. Dancing with no one else there. Just all on my own. Dancing my heart out for myself. Its the most glorious feeling to be putting an artists beautiful words into flowing, graceful movements.

I was in my own world. For how long I was there, I couldn't tell you. I got lost in the music, lost in the dancing.

Well, until my phone started ringing. I finally stopped dancing and the effects of dancing non-stop for a long amount of time hit me hard.

I could barely breath as I stumbled over to the stereo to answer my phone, "Hey babe! Where the hell are you? I've been texting you ever since you left mine! And I went by your house but you weren't there..."

Kairi's voice came out so quickly and in such a rush.

I slowly slid onto the floor because my stomach was churning for some reason. My vision was getting blurry and whatever else Kairi was saying faded into soft background noise. All I could hear was my own heavy breathing and the sound of my pounding headache.

I'm not quite sure what's wrong, but it doesn't feel good at all. I can barely form coherent thoughts, and Kairi's soft background chatter becomes louder and much more urgent.

I still can't make out what she's saying, though. All I can hear is my breathing.

In.

Out.

In.

Ou-

Fuck. I can't breath out. I try again and again but just keep sucking in air.

"K-kai aaa-t h-e stu-dd-o."

I'm not sure if she made out what I said because I still can't hear her. I think on top of whatever else is happening, I'm having a panic attack. All I can do is hope she understood.

I still don't hang up the phone, despite not being able to hear her. Although I think its half-way that I need company right now, and half-way because I don't think I could move.

I close my eyes slowly. I can't exactly keep them open. I'm not sure why.

But then..... I think I might've passed out. But I couldn't be sure, because my head was still throbbing with the pain. Everything else seemed to disappear though.
