How To Be Skinny

6. Cry Your Heart Out

5:25pm

Later that night, she had another fight with her parents.

Her mother just wanted her daughter to eat; not for her health, but because she didn't want to 'waste her time cooking for a spoilt brat.'

But Olivia didn't want to eat - her mother wanted a pretty daughter and skinny is pretty, right?

That's what everyone says.

Then she thought about the boy; the one boy who cared enough to talk to her and tell her to eat.

But she didn't want the boy to care, because when you care about someone you're going to get hurt.

So she cried for the boy; she cried because he cared, and as her demons took over she lost the ability to care about him too.
