We pulled up into this little restaurant as I sat down eager for a burger and some fries, I hadn't to much of anything, and the munchies were definitely starting to kick in. I looked at the menu and determined that I wanted onion rings, fries, a Bleu Cheese Hamburger, with a side of wings.

I closed my menu as I sipped on some water the waitress had brought to the table that Marshall had requested.

"Are you two ready to order?" The waitress asked trying her best not to stare at Marshall as he put down his menu and looked at the blushing woman.

"I'll have a burger and fries." He said.

"Alright, and you?" She asked me.

I was about to answer when all of a sudden Marshall cut in, "Yeah she'll have the salad and soup."  He answered.

Did he really just order for me?

"Okay coming right up." The waitress smiled taking our menu's and quickly running to fill our orders.

"I didn't want soup and salad." I frowned.

"That's too bad, you've got to start eating healthier foods, it'll help you detox." He explained.

I sighed deciding not to argue against this, even though I wasn't happy with eating like I was a vegetarian, when my stomach was literally craving greasy french fries, and beef. I knew there was going to have to be many sacrifices with getting sober, so I decided to suck it up and make the most of it.

A few minutes the waitress came back with our food and I took one look at my salad and soup and I immediately felt sick.

I then looked over at Marshall's plate and immediately decided that I couldn't stand this man. He deliberately ordered what I was craving to make me feel awful.

I hesitantly began eating my salad and soup and with every bite I took it felt like I was growing sicker and sicker, I thought salad's and soup were supposed to make you feel good and energized? Why did I feel like I could blow chunks any second?

"How's your food?" Marshall asked biting one of his fries.

"I feel sick." I groaned feeling nausea wash over me.
