For a split second I didn't know what she was talking about until I remembered that I cancelled the doctor appointments without them being here. The doctor probably tried getting in contact to tell them, but they were too busy to bother with a call from him. So they're only finding out about this now.
"So what if I did..." I say while hanging my head low.
"Minseok, we've talked about this a million times it's getting to the fact that I feel like I'm repeating myself. You know why you need to see him. You need it. You have no right in whether you say you can stop these appointments or not." She shouts. saying everything in anger.
"I have the choice whether I'm going to walk into that room or not though. I don't want to go in there and have to talk to him because it just makes me feel like shit! Whenever I talk to him, I just feel a million times worse about myself." I exclaim, holding back tears that wanted to pour down my cheeks. I didn't want to show my parents that I was about to cry over something like this.
"You might feel that way Minseok, but just sitting around and doing nothing isn't going to help you lose weight any faster!"
"I haven't been sitting around and doing nothing!" I protest, looking at her with anger in my eyes.
"Then what have you been doing since you haven't been going to his appointments?" My mother questions, sounding generally curious.
It's not like I can tell her that Luhan has been over every single day since they've been gone. I've never had a friend in my entire life. I don't know how they'd react if I told them I brought someone over to the house either. It might be better if I tell them when they're not angry, and just ask if a friend could come over.
My mother heard my silence and took that as a 'you didn't do anything.' She rolled her eyes and pulled her cellphone out of the back pocket of her jeans.
She started dialling a number into the phone and I just stared at her, watching. "I'm calling your doctor right now. On Saturday, you're going to see him." She says in a demanding tone already bringing the phone up to her ear.
I stared at her with a mixture of emotion. Sadness and anger being the biggest
contestants in this one. I turned around and left the room, now hearing my mother on the phone with probably the secretary.I hate this, I forgot my parents even left honestly. It's been such a good month without them that this is the first time I actually wish that they left for longer.
At the same time I heard my phone ding from the desk and walked over to it, to see it was a text from Luhan. As I opened my phone to see what he said, he asked if I was alright. Just thinking about Luhan and what had just happened made my heart hurt. I turned my phone off before going into my bed and laying underneath the covers. That horrible feeling is inside me again. I haven't had that feeling for a month now, but it's happening again. No, I can't eat anything. I won't eat anything.
The next day came which was Monday. Christmas break is now over, meaning I'll have to go back to school and try living my normal life again. I sighed as my alarm clock rung in my ears. I slowly got up from bed but quickly got changed for school. I didn't want to face my parents this morning, and if I sat down at the dining table, waiting for my mother to bring my breakfast, they'll force me to talk to them about stuff I don't want to talk about.
I made sure I had enough money in my wallet to buy something on my way to school before brushing my teeth and hair. I swung my backpack over my shoulder before heading to the door when my mother stops me. "Where're you going Minseok, you're not going to eat breakfast?" She questions. I don't know why but for some reason I felt some judgement in her tone of voice.
