The New Life (sequel to The New Boy)

Chapter 27

(3 days later)

**Kelleys POV**

"Hayes, can you make me a sandwich?" I asked, while sitting on the couch, on my phone.

"Whoa, you actually want food?" Hayes asked.

"Yeah, I'm hungry. Now go make me a sandwich," I laughed, pushing him towards the kitchen.

Hayes came back 5 minutes later with a sandwich, and I ate it pretty fast.

"Holy crap, you were hungry!" Hayes said.

"Yeah, I haven't eaten since this morning, which was like 5 hours ago," I said.

I've slowly been getting better, and I'm pretty sure I'm gaining weight. I've been eating regularly, and Hayes won't let me work out, which sucks.

"When was the last time you weighed yourself?" Hayes asked.

"Um, 2 days ago," I answered.

"You should again, since you've been eating more."

"Okay," I said and then went to the workout room and stepped on the scale.

Blink.

Blink.

Blink.

100 lbs.

That seems like so much.

I'm fat.

I ran to the bathroom and leaned over the toilet. I was about to stick my fingers down my throat, but I stopped myself.

No. I can't do this. I need to get better.

I ran back to the living room and said, "I'm 100 pounds."

"That's great! You've gained 10 pounds!" Hayes said.

"Yeah..."

"Kelley you aren't fat okay? If anything, you're too skinny."

"I know but it just seems like so much," I sighed. Tears started to form in my eyes.

"Come here," Hayes said, opening his arms. I went to him and hugged him, my head resting on his chest. He held me really tight, and I felt safe.

I looked up and our eyes met, making me smile. I can't remember the last time I looked into his eyes. They were so..blue.

"You're eyes are so blue," I kind of whispered.

"Thanks," he laughed.

We were still looking into each other's eyes. I suddenly had the urge to kiss him.

"I really want to kiss you right now," I said.

"Me too," Hayes said, and then he leaned down and our lips connected, sending a spark of electricity through me. Hayes' hands traveled down to my hips and pulled me closer to him.

I didn't realize how much I missed him, until now.

I pulled away and smiled at him. He smiled back at me.

Just then, the front door opened, and my mom walked in.

"Hey mom," I said, walking over to her and hugging her. It was kind of hard because she was getting big.

"Hey Kelley. I was wondering if you guys wanted to go out to dinner with us later," She said.

"Do we want to?" I asked Hayes.

"Yeah sure, I don't have anything going on tonight," Hayes answered.

"Okay, well we will pick you guys up around 6," my mom said. She gave me a look that said 'you two did something' and then left.
