*Nikita's P.O.V.*
What is she doing here?
"It's so great to see you! You've gained a few pounds, but other than that you haven't changed a bit" she said. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Niall's jaw clench when she mentioned my weight.
"What happened to Nate?"
"We broke up"
"Why are you here?"
"I sold the house in Cheshire a couple months ago when Nate proposed. I didn't think I'd need it anymore, so when Nate and I split up I didn't have anywhere to go. I know Anne's always there for me, so I came here" she explained.
I nodded, not saying a word. I didn't know she and Nate were engaged.
"Who's this?" She said, looking at Niall.
"This is Niall, my boyfriend"
"Nice to meet you, Niall. Where'd you get that Range Rover?"
"I bought it" he replied.
"Where did you get the money for it?"
"My family's got money"
"Really? Are your parents still together?" She asked.
You've got to be shitting me.
"Yes, mum, they are" I answered. I can't believe she asked him that. "Now, if you'll excuse us, Niall and I have to study" I continued, pulling Niall upstairs.
"Are you alright?" Niall asked me.
"Still in shock"
"Now you know what Harry was going to tell you"
"That's true. I just can't believe she's here"
"I can't believe she just asked if my parents were still together" he said.
"Yeah, sorry about that"
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything"
"No, but I'm really embarrassed that she'd ask you something like that"
"To be honest, I had more of a problem with her commenting on your weight" he told me.
"I noticed. At least she said 'a few pounds', I feel like I've gained thirty"
"Good, you needed to. Honestly, you should probably try to gain some more"
"I don't want to"
"I know you don't. If you had it your way, you'd be 60 fucking pounds" he stated.
"I've been better!"
"I know you have, that's why I don't want your mum's remarks to make you relapse"
"Don't worry, Niall. I'll be fine"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Good morning, Nik"
"Good morning, Mum" I said, grabbing a box of Lucky Charms.
"Are you sure you don't want a banana instead?" She asked me.
"No, thanks" I said.
It's been like this all week. Every time I eat she makes some comment about how unhealthy it is or how serving suggestions were made for a reason.
After her first remark, Auntie Anne told her I was in recovery for bulimia and asked her to stop talking about my weight and what I eat. Instead of stopping, she shoots me a dirty look or makes remarks when Anne isn't around.
After I finished my cereal, I put my bowl and spoon in the dishwasher before going upstairs to get ready for school.
Have I really gotten that bad?
I looked in the mirror and saw my stomach was bulging, my thighs had doubled in size and I couldn't even see my ribs anymore.
She's right. I am fat.
Without thinking, I tickled the back of my throat, forcing myself to vomit.
Afterwards, I felt great physically, but mentally I felt like shit. Niall's going to be pissed at me. He's going to tell Auntie Anne, Harry and Gemma and they're all going to be disappointed in me. But I love to purge, it makes me feel good afterwards.
Oh well, what Niall doesn't know won't kill him.
