Bulimia

Chapter 006

I woke up and checked the time. It was early, 6:30 a.m. I guess my life is going to go back like it always was, staying at home and having no friends. I lost Tyler by kissing him, I lost Taylor by, well, I don't even know how I lost her, and I made an enemy, Cecil. I shouldn't have even kissed Tyler, or even befriended him. Why did he even have to move in next door? My life would've been easier if he hadn't. 

I sat up and got out of bed. It would be nice to change out of my pajamas. I showered yesterday night, so today wasn't nessasary. I opened the curtains and windows so that there'd be a breeze in the room. I stripped out of my clothing and walked to my dresser. I bit my lip while trying to find an outfit. I decided on some high waisted shorts and a black striped crop top. Just as I was sliding on the shorts, I looked out the window. I saw Tyler's house and his..head? He was staring straight at me while I stared straight at him. 

I then realized I didn't have a shirt on. "Holy. Fuck." I whispered and pulled down the curtains. I fell onto my bed and yelled into my pillow. Next time, I shouldn't open curtains while changing.

I finished eating my omlet and thanked my aunt. She went into the living room and I quickly threw up my breakfast. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. Tina came down the stairs and walked over to her food bowl. I walked over to Tina and petted her. She purred and jumped onto my lap. I chuckled lightly and strapped on my sandals. The black ones. "I'm taking Tina outside!" I yelled to my Aunt Veronica. "Okay, I might go to work today though!" I nodded my head as if she could see me. She was in the living room and I was in the kitchen. 

I picked up Tina and opened the door. She struggled to get out of my arms and I set her down on the ground. She sat on the grass and waited for me to close the door. I shut the front door and took Tina to my backyard, then, if either Taylor or Tyler tried to talk to me, they wouldn't be able to see me. 

I let Tina run and play, just enjoy herself, while I sat on my lounge chair and closed my eyes. I listened to the breeze and to Tina meow. Why was she meowing? Couldn't she see I was trying to relax myself? I cracked open an eyelid and checked on Tina. I didn't see her so I got up from my chair and looked for her under the bushes, her favorite spot to hide. 

There she was, looking up at me. I smiled and petted her tummy. "Having fun?" Asked a female voice. It was probably my Aunt Veronica. "Yeah" I answered and turned to look at her. Then I saw Taylor. "Taylor? How did you know I was here?" I asked. "Your Aunt" She replied. "Damn You" I thought. Instead I said, "Oh. Okay. Well, listen. I don't know if I can talk to you anymore.." "What? Why? Please tell me it's not about the whole Tyler kissing thing." She groaned. "It is" I told her, Not looking at her.

"Echo! Come on. It's okay, Tyler's not mad, y'know. He's just disappointed that you left. He thought that you actually liked him and were happy that you guys kissed. That's all. Oh, and he boke up with Cecil. For slapping you..." She explained. "Oh" was all  I  could manage. "Echo, Please?" "Please what?" "Please talk to me again. Please don't ignore my calls and texts. Please be my friend again. Please pretend none of this ever happened" She told me, looking at me.

"I can't pretend this never happened." I told her, finally looking at her. "Why not?" "Because, it did happen."

Taylor was speechless, so I picked up Tina and went inside, leaving Taylor outside.
