Brothers Bestfriend

Chap. 9

Alexa's POV

1 month later

I closed my locker with a sigh. Finally another school day was over. There was nothing special in senior year, it had been a month since school started, it was worse then others.

It was because the Teachers started putting pressure on students about finals being end of the year and SAT for those who hadn't take it yet and college and everything.

I missed Riley every year but this was worse. He was only four hours away but I missed him more I wanted to be with him.

My routine was stuffing myself with breakfast and going straight to the bathroom when I got to school. Sometimes when my mom left early, I would do it at home and made myself vomit because I was scared of gaining weight. Vanessa watched me eating lunch to check on me, I ate at the dinner table but after I always made myself vomit I blamed myself for being so weak.

After a month I became so good at hiding it Vanessa didn't noticed. I always wore gloves saying I was cold, just to not show the abrasion on my knuckles. I was very carful to hid my routine, but I found it easier because Vanessa was to distracted with her new boyfriend.

I spotted them lost in themselves, Vanessa back against his locker as they made out aggressively. I sighed I knew my best friend was with Chad because Jason broke her heart ruthlessly. Chad was a typical bad boy he been in and out of jail three times. The baddest of the boys some people called him.

Two weeks ago, Chad came up to us and said that Vanessa owed him a date. Vanessa played hard to catch for a couple days before finally giving in. She admitted to me that Chad was pretty hot to. Know she is more known in school being the bad boys girlfriend.

And now there she was in the arms in Chad Myers, making out with him if they were in love. I sighed shaking my head as I closed my locker door. I heard a grunt beside me. "Ugh she cant be serious." Dean said frustrated raking his fingers through his hair. "Twin or not I don't know who my sister is anymore." He continued I gave him a sympathetic, knowing how torn he was just as me.

Chad had a short temper and had no respect for anyone boys or girls. Chad didn't love her but had a possessive attitude towards her. Who would say he wouldn't turn his rage against his girlfriend I was worried for her.

I turned away from scene and turned to Dean. "Maybe we are overreacting. Maybe he likes her. How can we be sure he will hurt her?" I didn't believe my own words I just hoped the best for Vanessa.

Dean snorted and looked at me with disbelief. "You know rumors. Its the matter of when or not if."

I sighed, slumping my shoulders. What a first month. Life seemed more Complicated. My feelings were eating me out, scared of gaining weight. Vanessa dating a bad boy willing what else could go wrong?

I been hanging out with Dean more, he became more at ease with me. Must be because I made it clear that we were just freinds. I been spending more time with him because Vanessa been hagging out with her boyfriend lately.

I tried to take his mind off the issue I asked him how was his day. That seemed to distracted him for a couple moments, but in the end we both looked back to the couple. Hopefully we were wrong, I prayed.

I coughed as I spilled the rest of my lunch in the toilet. I been feeling more weaker lately but I was sure that it was because of my emotional problems and I did the same twice everyday.

And hiding it had been harder signs were starting to show. I was losing weight and my stomach ached more then usual. My finger were bruised, because of times I stuck them in my mouth, my throat was sore and lately, I coughed blood with salvia.

And this time was no exception, I still crouched in front of the toilet, I gaped at the food I spilled it was chucks of food with blood. That was the third time this week I vomited food with blood this week.

I shook my head and checked if anyone was in the bathroom it was empty. I went to sink to wash my face I just noticed that my teeth were damaged.

I sighed dried my hands and left. I still had one last class left it was English.

I tiredly got in my seat next to the window, third row. I was so dizzy I felt like fainting. Then the teacher came he Mr. Ferris he was 25 and good looking.

He started working here a couple weeks ago. I couldn't care less he was just here to teach English nothing more nothing less.

The period went by smoothly, I found it more harder to focus more then usual, my sight blurring now and then but in the end I pushed through it. The bell rung and people were happily running out to hallway eager, to go home. While I slowly got up from my seat cause of the dizziness grabbing my things, relieved I could go home.

I left just in time making it out of the door to lean against the wall, before crumbling down, my head was spinning way to fast. My breathing got labored and my eyelids got heavy, there for I closed them falling unconscious.

I opened my eyes not feeling dizzying anymore, and had no cramps for now. I looked around at my surroundings this was the schools nursing office.

But only a moment later the door opened. "Oh your finally awake." Mr. Ferris greeted me with a relived smile appearing on his face. He explained when he was grading papers, a few minutes later when I got out of class, he heard noises outside, he found me on the ground unconscious, therefore he brought me to the nurses office.

He asked a big question. "How long?" he motioned serious.

I looked up at him confused I had no idea what he was talking about. He sighed pointing to the abrasions on my fingers and sighed when I didn't answer. "My sister used to do that. One gets used to the signs." He explained.

I only nodded Mr. Ferris spoke up. "I'm here if you want to talk okay?

I nodded and said. "Okay thanks."

He sighed and stood up. "Okay well I have to go the nurse said that you should lay down for one more hour. I will call your parents to come pick you up."

"No No please." I cut him off. "I don't want to worry them." I was telling him the truth I didn't want to worry them.

"They don't know do they?" I shook my head no. "Okay when your done resting, I'll take you home."

My eyes widen he was a teacher why was he being so nice? "I don't want to bother you."

He smiled this more brightly he shook his head. "No trouble don't worry. I had nothing to do aside from grading papers anyway, its fine."

He drove to my house and parked in front Mr. Ferris turned to me and smiled he grab pen and wrote something on a blank paper. "Here is my number if you need to talk to me call me I want to help you will you let me help you?"

I couldn't believe that he cared about me so much that he wanted to help me it felt nice. "Yeah I'll will call you."

I stepped off the car and walked back in my house closing the front door behind me kicking off my shoes wow I had a crazy day today.
