At bottom and aloft

Chapter Four

    I decided to start running everyday. So I digged out some workout clothes and put some music on. After a few meters I had to chill out. I haven't been used to run so I got tired easily. My path led over a bridge then downtown and back. When I got home I've done some push ups, sit ups, squats and then took a shower. I haven't eaten a bite for a week. Everything was going perfect until my talk with daddy.
,,You haven't eaten a lot this week."
,,I ate something."
,,You should eat more then that. Since now I'll watch you eat every meal. If I'm not home for dinner your mom'll watch you."
,,But dad...."
,,End of discussion! You'll become anorexic this way."
I ran to my room and tried to figure out what I'm going to do next. I wouldn't become anorexic. I really wouldn't. I just skipped a few meals. That's no harm.

    One week pass the other. Every single day was like a prison. My dad had me under strict watch and I had to eat everything. When I looked in the mirror I saw that my body is gaining weight again. And I wasn't happy about it. And then I figured out something. We had pizza for dinner tonight. I knew that that's junk food and that wasn't good for my diet. I went to the bathroom and hustled two fingers into my throat. I started to spew and after a few tries a saw yellow and red vomit at a bottom of toilet. I rinsed out my mouth with a water and came back to my room. I pulled out my weight machine and stood on it. My weight was 69 kilograms. I lost only 2 kilograms. That's not good. I have to workout more and eat less.

    And that's how it was going next three weeks. Dad was watching me eat every meal  entire day and I threw it up. After that time dad was happy that I'm eating and let me going for a school lunch. I never ate even a bite. After school I went to run. I ran more and more every day. After a while every time I came back my head was pounding and spinning. I thought that I will pass out. But I didn't. Dad stopped controlling me and I stopped to eat that much. Ate, throw up, not eating in two days, overeat and throw up or I'm not eating at all.

,,Olivia is here!" Mom shouted and for a 10 seconds later I see my dear girl leaning on door of my room.
,,Nice to see you girl!"
,,What are you doing here?" I asked and pull weight machine under my bed with my leg
,,I just finished the book you gave me so I wanted another one so badly!"
,,What was it again?"
,,Pride and Prejudice!"
,,And you want Sense and Sensibility?"
,,Exactly!"
,,Okaaay,....here it is!"
,,Thank you. What are you doing right now."
,,Oh nothing important." I closed my notebook
,,Do you want to go outside?"
,,I think I'll pass. Thanks."
,,Okay, suit yourself. See you later."
,,Baiii." She walked out of the door. I opened my notebook again and watched some motivation and workout videos. I've done some workout and went to run. Mom texted me to grab something for dinner because she's gonna be late at work. I wasn't hungry so I just watched some movies and went to bed.

     On April 29th we went to the theatre. Olivia was right about Shakespeare. Today it was Hamlet. It wasn't so bad, Olivia sat next to me and when some serious and sad scene happened she chuckled. My elbow was hurting because of regular rubbing into Olivia. After show we gather at big lobby and Olivia asked me if I don't need to use bathroom. I came with her and looked at my reflection in the mirror.
,,Do you think that new boy will be handsome?"
,,New boy? How come I have no idea about this?!"
,,Oups. Well new boy is coming. Yay!"
,,Yeah I figured." She chuckled
She came out of toilet cubicle and started to wash her hands. Suddenly I felt strong pain inside my head.
,,Auch!"
,,Are you okay?"
,,I just need a minute."
,,Okay, deep breaths okay? Breathe, Becca"
I took a deep breath and acute pain went through my head. Olivia squeaked. I grabbed my head between my palms and groaned.
,,Okay, okay...Becca, what should I do? I'll get teacher okay?" I noded and Olivia ran out of toilets. In a few moments she came back with teacher and some other girl.
,,Becca, what's wrong?" I was starting to get sick of that question
,,Okay, has it happened to you before?" I shaked my head as "no"
,,Can you stand?"
,,I don't know."
,,Okay let's try it." She grabbed me under my armpit and tried to lift me of the floor. My knees gave up and everything went black. I just heard shouts in last minute of my consciousness.
