If I'm stressed? Why would I? My three year boyfriend just broke up with me for no apparent reason. But I'm fine. I'm great.
I'm just eating like there's no tomorrow but that's no big deal, right? And crying all day long is normal, isn't it? And of course, I had been ignoring all the other Bellas.

"Hey Becs, we're going to a party on the other side of campus. Come with us." Emily said, sounding hopeful.

My door had been locked for the past two months since the break up. And I only left to grab things to eat, when I was sure no one was home.
I hadn't even gone to class, the girls were bringing me, my homework but I hadn't done that either.
I felt so empty and pathetic. I'm Beca Mitchell and I'm here moping over a guy. The only person who I ever opened up to, by the way. I let him in like I never even did to my father and he just leaves me like we just didn't spent the last three years together, making promises of eternal love to each other.
When she didn't get an answer, Emily knocked again.

"Come on, Becs. You've been there long enough." She whined.
"You know what helps forgetting your ex? Finding someone new." I heard Stacie say from behind the door.
"I don't feel like it. Please leave." I said as loud as my hoarse voice could.
That's what I get for not singing or speaking for so long.

A month later...

I had been called to the Dean's office, apparently not going to class for 2 months was wrong.
I had to sit down for an hour, and listen to all the crap he had to say about my education, and how not going to school would jeopardize my future.
He even talked me into going to the school's counselor, to talk about my mental health, which was totally fine by the way.
I just ended up agreeing to everything he said, just so he would finish. And when he did I went straight back to the Bella house, which I thought would be empty since it was time for classes, but I ended up bumping into Fat Amy.

"Hey girl. You've been pretty MIA lately, what's going on with you?" She asked.
"Nothing, Amy. I'm fine. Can't you see it? Never been better." I said lowly but angrily and walked up the stairs.
"You don't look fine to me. You're only skin and bones. Except for that big tummy of yours, must be from all the eating you've been doing, while locked up in the bedroom. You need to get out and forget about Jesse, live a little." She said trying to stop me from continuing on up the stairs.
"I don't feel like it. Now, do you mind letting go of my arm?"
She looked upset but let go nonetheless and I walked back to my room, locking the door yet again.

I didn't need to leave, I didn't need Jesse, I didn't need the Bellas, all I needed was myself and I had that.

Three months later...

It had been six months since Jesse and I broke up, and I actually feel better now. I still didn't really talk to the Bellas, but I started going to classes and my grades are starting to get back up, but I still didn't feel like myself. Sometimes I still feel like eating the whole fridge or just sitting down and crying by myself not sure why though.
Because of those changes in my mood my body changed too, Fat Amy was right, I was just skin and bones and actually gained some weight because of the stress I was going through, lost some hair in the process too. But I was on my road to recovery.
The school's counselor said that the stress can mess with a person's body so much that, even our nervous system can be affected, which I assume is why I haven't gotten my period ever since this whole thing started.
Not until right now.

I rushed away from my Ancient History class, due to really bad cramps. It was my last class of the day and I was failing it anyway.
So I rushed back to the Bella house to find all the other girls already there, I guess my look of pain, alarmed them but only Chloe came to my "rescue".

"Becs, are you okay?"
"Yeah. Just cramps. I'm going to run myself a bath to sooth it a little." I said through gritted teeth.
"I'll go get some medicine for you then." She said rubbing my back. I only nodded and with difficulty, walked up the stairs to the bathroom in the hall.
