The Seven Deadly Sins

Gluttony

My name is Emma Hart and I am a glutton

"Emma come look at this one!" Lily squealed. "Coming!" I shouted. I walked over to the window she was peering in. This was a normal routine for my friends and I. Go shopping every Thursday. We already went to Victoria's Secret, Forever 21, and Hollister. She was pointing at a evening dress. "Wouldn't this be great for prom?" She asked. I nodded. I was mesmerized. The dress was beautiful. "It's to die for." I stated. At that time I wasn't being serious. "You can get that one and I'll get this one." She compromised. I agreed. We bought the dresses and went back to my house. We tried on our dresses and took dozens of pictures. "Post that one!" Lily demanded. "Okay." I confirmed. Dozens of likes in a matter of seconds. Of course. "Who's your date for prom?" I asked. "Keith Jurr." She whispered. I gasped. "NO!" I teased. "Yes." She informed. "Who's yours?" Lily asked. "I haven't said yes yet but Jackson asked me." I confessed. Lily seemed hurt. "C'mon you guys broke up 3 months ago and you're going with Keith." I pointed out. "I can't believe you!" Lily yelled. She sloppily picked up her things and stormed out.

I went to a nail salon to get my nails done for prom. They were a nude pink so they matched with anything. When I got home there were cupcakes set out on the table with a note. "Baked these for you and your friends. Have fun at prom. Love mom." Great. I have red velvet cupcakes sitting in my face and I'm on a diet. "Thanks mom!" I yelled. I can't believe she did that. I was trying to lose weight and she would do something like this. Unbelievable. I took one anyway. I went back upstairs and read some magazines. I curled my hair and put half in a bun. 4:12. On time. Prom started at 6:20 and it would take me about 2 hours to get ready plus the 10 minute drive to school so I was on schedule. While putting on makeup my stomach rumbled and groaned. I ignored it but I caved in and went downstairs to get one more cupcake. Before I knew it I was eating one more. Then another. Again and again. I kept eating. I bit one but it tasted bitter. Maybe that was just a bad one. I took a bite out of another. That too was also bitter. Maybe they all are. Well I never will know if I don't check. When I took the last bite out of the last cupcake I threw up. Blood. 

Blood? Why did I just throw up blood? I panicked. My eyes shut. It was silent. I was startled when I heard a shriek. It was Lily. I was back at the mall. I checked my phone. Before 4:12. She was staring at the same dress. The one with a corset. Impossible. I couldn't believe it. A Victoria's Secret and Hollister's bag draped my arm. I walked next to her. "Get this dress and I'll get this one!" She suggested. "No." I shouted. "Okay." She whimpered. We went back to my house. "Who's your date?" She asked. Why did she ask me? I asked first last time. Maybe it was just a dream. Yeah. Just a dream. "Jackson." I responded. She scoffed and walked out. That is not a coincidence. My mom shouted "I'm leaving!" I didn't say anything back. I heard the door shut.

I went downstairs. Her purse and keys were gone. I looked at the table. There they were. Stacked perfectly. Red velvet cupcakes. That wasn't a dream. I ate one. I couldn't help it. They looked so good. I have to stop. I ran upstairs and put my dress on. If I was to die I wanted to die beautiful. I ate and ate and ate. I didn't stop. None  of them tasted bitter. I ate them all. When I sat down my stomach started to throb. I think I ate too much. I started to gag. Oh no. I puked all over the floor and my dress. I looked at it. Blood. I threw up blood. I was stuck in a loop.
