🔐Chapter 5- My Hidden Chapter🔐 Song to listen to during the chapter😉 Plus a cover I made! Enjoy❤️
Waking up the next morning I go and grab a grey crop top, army green pants and a black sweater to hide my tattoo. (Minus the belly piercing and purse.)

My parents and brother still don't know about my tattoo but they will soon.
Walking out of my room I divide to grab a granola bar and head out to the front porch. Alex is picking me up an hour early today so we can get coffee and put the ointment on.
As I here the the sound of his motor I hope up and walk over. Hoping on behind him I give him a smile and we are off to Starbucks.

We are now sitting on the bleachers by the football field with our coffees in hand. Looking over I see Alex looking at me expectedly and I raise and eyebrow.
"Are you gonna show me your tattoo, Princess." He says with a smirk.
"Sure but you have to help me rewrap it after, deal?"
"Deal."
As I take of my sweater I see him looking at me intently. I start unwrapping my tattoo, once I am done I look up to Alex waiting for his opinion.
"Damn Princess, I thought you were gonna get a little butterfly or something, not a sleeve." He says but nonetheless he is smiling.
"I know it is a bit much but I figured if I'm gonna do it I might as well go big or go home. Plus there is a lot of meaning to this tattoo." I said with a small smile. "I seen your yesterday who is it for?"
I sit there waiting for a minute and then I realized I might be over stepping my boundaries.
"Oh my god I am so sorry I didn't realize I was over stepping, I am so sorry you really don't have to tell me if your not ready." I said with a worried expression.
Alex looks up and sighs "I will tell you if you tell me what yours is about." He looks in my eyes "What's your hidden chapter?"
I have never told anyone about this but I think it's time to tell my hidden chapter.
Sighing I look up at Alex and nod. Just thinking about it I blink away the tears. "When I started high school in grade nine I was diagnosed with Anorexia, and I got really depressed. I felt that if I ate something bad like junk food it made me bad. I felt like no mater what I did I was still never good enough. The whole time I thought I was controlling it but really I wasn't. It was controlling me, until I got sick. I passed out on my way back from school and was rushed to the hospital. When I got there I was 89 pounds. My body was failing me and I was just so mad, because no matter what I did I was never good enough. That was until I went to some support groups, some of the girls their had lost their lives to this disease. I wasn't about to be next. So I worked and worked to make myself healthier. It took some time but I am finally happy and healthy. And I truly mean it I am really happy with myself now." By the end of the story I was in Alex's arms with blown tears, I have never told anyone that the only people who knew were my parents, my brother, and my two best friends. I truly regret that part of my life but it made me the strong person I am now.
After I calm myself a bit I look up at Alex and smile encouragingly.
"I had a sister." He takes a deep breath in. "Her name was Nevaeh, she would have been ten right now, but she passed away." He said with his eyes glistening "When she was 6 and I was 14 we were going to the park near our house because I promised to play with her. When we got there she was playing and having the time of her life. She always had a smile on her face. As we were walking home we had accidentally bumped into a man who was counting some change. Some of his money fell into the road. The last thing I heard from her was 'I'll get it' but what she didn't know was there was a car coming, I tried to stop her but I wasn't fast enough. After that all I could see was red. My sister was laying in the road with blood surrounding her, and I knew at that moment that I had lost her. I know that it is not completely my fault but I will always feel guilty for what had happened to her. I miss her every single day and it hurts so much." I could feel the tears rolling down my cheeks as he finishes his story and immediately I pull him into a hug.
We sit there hugging for about five minutes until we both pull away.
"Hey, um I know I can't really control this but I really hope that what I told you doesn't make you feel any different about me." I said with a small frown.
"It does." He says and my eyes widen and my frown deepens. "Just not in the way you think. When I look at you now I see a fighter, a strong and independent girl who had been through hell and back, but still manages to brighten my day. You are not defined by a disease. You are defined by the way you handle it. You are a fighter. Never think anything less." He finishes and I brake out into a huge smile and hug him again even tighter.
After we break from the hug Alex applies the ointment to my arm and rewraps it.
Before we can say anything else the bell rings I put my sweater on and get up. As I start walking away I bend down and kiss Alex on the cheek before speeding away with a big smile on my face.
Oh god what is happening to me.
