Shhh! It's a secret...

Chapter 2

Demi's pov:
I was sitting in the car waiting for Ems and Maddie. Maddie hopped into the backseat, giving me a hug from behind and a kiss on the cheek
"Dems I'm soooo happy to finally see you!"
"same Mads, you have grown up so much!"
"it's only been 6 months!?"
"yeah! But you know what I mean"
I was interrupted by Ems getting into the front seat of my car. She hugged me so tightly and I kissed her on her forehead. As she let go of me and leaned back in her seat I noticed a bruise on her cheek.
"Ems what happened to your cheek!"
Her cheeks went a bit red and she was thinking of something to say
"umm... I was walking into class and I bumped the side of my face on the side of the doorframe"
I just nodded but I didn't really believe her, I will just ask her when we're alone
"oh okay, we are going home now I'm really tired so we will just go out for dinner"
"that's fine Dems I missed you so much"
"I missed you too Ems!"
We arrived at home and we all got out the car.
I got a bit of a fright when I saw how skinny Emily was, I could see now because she was standing up, I just froze and stared until Mad's interrupted me.
"Earth to Demi!??? Why are you looking at Ems like you've seen a ghost?"
"umm...its uhh n-nothing"
She definitely weighs less that 80lbs, and that's what scared me, she should weigh over 100lbs...I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions but I'm a bit worried. What happens if she has the same problems as I did, I would blame myself.
We walked inside and I walked straight to the kitchen.
Ems, Mads what do you want to eat?
Emily: "nothing I'm not that hungry plus I have loads of homework!"
Maddie: "I will have a sandwich if that's fine"
"okay Mads, are you sure Ems"
She shouted "yes" and with that ran upstairs to her room

Emily's pov:
When I got in the car Demi asked what happened to my cheek, so I panicked and made up something and I think she believed me.
Then when we got out the car at home she was staring at me as if she had seen a ghost.
My demons would not shut up:
She's staring at you like that because you are fat! She's not even happy to see you, she hates you. When you get inside you WILL NOT eat and you WILL cut!
I walked inside, Demi offered to make me something to eat. I made an excuse and quickly ran upstairs.
My demons were telling me to purge so I locked my room door, walked into the bathroom and locked that too.
I did what they wanted, I leaned down over the toilet and stuck 2 fingers down my throat, all that came up was blood. I got up and fetched my blade.
I took my clothes off so I just had my bra and underwear on and looked at myself in the mirror, I cringed at all the fat on my body. A tear rolled down my cheek and I sat on the floor and began to cut my thighs.
One for being fat
One for being worthless
One for being stupid
One for being useless
One for being me
One for not killing myself yet
They were quite deep and blood was running off my leg.
I watched it for a while then cleaned it up, got dressed, unlocked my door and lay in bed.
I was crying, not hysterically, it was as if I felt nothing, there were just tears falling down my cheeks.
I was lying in bed for about 30min and Demi knocked on my door.
"hold on! I'm coming"
I quickly got my bag took a book out and opened it then I opened my pencil case and threw it on my bed so it looked like I had been working.
I opened my door and walked back to my bed and sat down
Demi sat down next to me and asked where I wanted to go out for dinner
"I'm feeling really sick I don't think I really wanna go" dammit my voice cracked...she probably knows I was crying now.
"babygirl what's wrong? Why are you crying? And why do you have that bruise on your cheek?
"Dems I told you nothing's wrong I just feel really sick, I have a headache and my tummy and throat are really sore! I whined, "and I told you what happened, why won't you believe me?"
"okay honey I'm sorry, I think you should rest, forget about your homework. If you are not feeling better by tomorrow I will try persuade mom to let you stay home"
"thanks Demi, you're the best" I said softly and hugged her tightly

Demi's pov:
When I hugged Emily I could feel her spine and her ribs, maybe I should tell mom that I'm worried or maybe I should just watch her until I'm sure.
After I left her room I sat on the couch next to Maddie and watched crime shows.
I got up to phone Marissa, she'll know what to do.

Emily's pov:
I heard Demi on the phone saying my name so I opened my door slowly and the sound was coming from her room so I snuck up and put my ear against the door
"Mar, she's so skinny I'm really nervous and she's not eating, but she's sick so maybe it's just a coincidence"
I couldn't hear what Marissa said but Demi's response made me a little nervous
"okay I'm not sure, I will watch her really carefully and if I see anything by next week then I'm going to confront her"
Okay that scared me a lot, how was I going to not eat...I guess I will have to eat and then purge? Maybe she will realise everything's fine and won't have to confront me with anything.
"okay bye Mar, I'll keep you updated!"
Shit I got up quick and ran to my room, shut the door quietly and pretended to be asleep
Demi opened my door and thought I was asleep so went down stairs.
I went into the bathroom, locked the door and cut my arm 17 times...well because I deserved it.
I watched the blood run quickly off my arm.
I cleaned up my mess and went back to bed, crying myself to sleep, how I usually do.
