I looked around my room noticing all the empty wrappers from McDonald's. I wiped my mouth clean feeling the guilt building up inside me. I turn back to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

"Cali, we are gonna leave soon." My mother yells from the living room.

I walk back into my room and grab a golden bracelet with an infinity sign on it. I grabbed my phone and walked out of my room.

"Okay Cali are you ready?" My mom asks, "Where did you get that bracelet?" She asks crossing her arms.

"What's it matter to you?" I snap at her.

"I. I just want whats best for you Cali. It's either this therapy, or back at the care home. And I know how much you hated it there." My mother says running a hand through her dark brown hair. I notice that she looks like she hasn't been getting enough sleep, and she looks scared? Maybe, or concerned.

I do the unthinkable. Well unthinkable to her.
I hug her.

"Cali I." My mom says. "We gotta go Hun." she says pulling away and walking towards the door as I follow.

I was sitting in one of those plastic chairs that you see at hospitals, and this wasn't a hospital. It was just a normal group therapy, kind of. Mostly Bulimic individuals or Binge Eaters in here.

I glance around the room that was now filling with people, mostly girls, but then there was always one boy, maybe two.

This year there was one.

Brown hair,
brown eyes,
sunken looking eyes.

I almost felt sympathy for him.
Almost.

I wasn't a bitch to anyone, or at least I didn't think I was. I simply just didn't enjoy talking to people, but I would talk to them if I had to.

"Hello everyone. I am Dr. Beckham, and for these next few months I will be taking you under my wing for a few hours each day." Dr. Beckham said clapping his hands together once and smiling a forced smile.

Heyo, hope you enjoyed, and hopefully there won't be anymore long author's notes after this.

Obviously this story will be focused around eating disorders, and some other issues. So if you are easily triggered by this please don't read this.

Personally I haven't faced most, if not all, of these problems. Before I wrote my story I did some research on some things, such as the different eating disorders and the behaviors of the people who have them.

If I get any information wrong please tell me and I will look into it and fix it.
