Rachel's PoV
I have just arrived at Kirstie house. I'm staying with her for a few nights because she misses James. With him being away in the jungle. I took all my baggy clothes and put them in a bag. So nobody will notice. Everyone thinks I'm okay. Everyone sees these Instagram stories, Instagram posts and think I am okay. But I am far from okay.
"Hey Rach thank you so much for coming" Kirstie says with a sad smilie brining me into a hug.
"What are best friends for? Brad was going to his families house with the kids for a few days" I reply
"Let's watch a film ? What do you want to watch" I ask her as we both sit on the sofa.
"I was thinking we could watch this new film . It looks so good but really sad" Kirstie says
"What's it called" I ask her
"To the bone Lilly Collins is in it one of your favourite actresses " Kirstie says and my heart stops.
"Isn't that about anorexia and stuff" I ask fiddling with my hands. I can't sit and watch that can I. Hang on yes I can I'm not anorexic, I'm not thin, I'm ugly and fat.
"Yeah it is. I know it's sad but it looks like a really good film and I have heard it's really well made"Kirstie says giving me a small smile. Hang on does she know that I haven't been eating. Does she know what I'm doing.
"Go on then" I say with a smile
"Yayyyy thank you" Kirstie says smiling brining me into a hug.
She starts the film and I get comfy. I'm nervous to watch this.
I sat and watched the 1 hour and 47 minute movie. It felt like it was in for hours. I feel sick but not as bad as her. I look nothing like that. I'm not that thin. I eat a bit. I don't do loads of exercise.
"Hey Kirstie I'm going to do to bed" I say but no answer. I look to my side and she is fast asleep. I stand up and grab the blanket and put it over her.
I head up the stairs and on the wall there is a photo of us all laughing. I smile at the photo and that day was so fun. I continue up the stairs to the guest bed room. And I grab my jumper for bed. I go to the bathroom and I close the door slightly. I take my top of over my head and I put my pj jumper on. I slowly take my trousers off and I put my pj joggers on. I wash my face and put my hair up in a bobble.
Kirstie's PoV
I wake up to the sound of someone going up the stairs. I get up fold the blanket and put all the lights and tv off. I walk upstairs. And I see the bathroom door open I look in to see if Rachel was in there. She is and my eyes widen. Rachel is standing there her back all you can see is her bones sticking out. She is so skinny. I never realise how skinny she was. Hang on that's not normal. How have I not noticed sooner. She takes her trousers down and her legs are so skinny I had never noticed before because she always where baggy clothes. My eyes begin to water why would my best friend do this to herself. I see Rachel put her hair up so I walk quickly into me and James room and I shut the door behind me.
I have to tell Brad. I have to talk to Rachel. I don't know should I tell someone. I wish James was here. She is far to skinny. She is skin and bone. She is killing herself. My mind then goes back to the movie. That's why she was hesitant in watching it. My best friend is anorexic and none of us realised.
