I didn't wake up for what seemed like days. When I did I was really thirsty.
And hungry.
"What happened?" I croaked out.
Aaron rushed to my side with a glass of water. I gulped it down.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You and Jacky were about to walk to the store when you blacked out" Derek said.
"Oh" I mumbled.
"Hey guys, can I talk to Adrianna alone please" Ronnie asked.
He knew.
I could tell by the look in his eyes.
The guys nodded and walked into the other room. The door closed and Ronnie turned to me.
"Why?" He asked.
"Why what?" I pretended like I didn't know what he was talking about.
"You know what I'm talking about" he said.
"No, I don't" I lied.
He sighed.
He handed me a bag of chips and a soda.
"Eat" he demanded.
"I-I'm not hungry" lie.
"Yes you are. I know you are Adrianna" he said.
"No. I'm not" lie.
"When's the last time you ate?" He asked.
"This morning" lie.
He looked at me doubtfully.
"Adrianna, I heard you the night at the restaurant. You ate. You stuck your fingers down your throat and you made yourself throw up. You haven't been eating properly" he said getting angry.
"I've been eating fine" I said in the verge of tears.
"Then eat the food" he said.
"I can't" I whispered desperately.
"Why?!" He demanded.
"BECAUSE IM TOO DAMN FAT" I said bursting into tears.
"Adrianna, you're not fat" he told me.
"Yes I am" I said through tears.
"Look at yourself" he pulled me off the bed and pushed me towards the mirror.
"Look" he said.
He pulled the bottom of my shirt up and pointed to my stomach.
I traced my slightly visible ribs. He was right. I wasn't fat. I was killing myself.
I looked down.
"I'm sorry" I whispered.
"It's okay. Just don't EVER do anything like this again" he said as he pulled me into a brotherly hug.
"D-Did you tell the others?" I asked quietly.
He sighed.
"No, but they're probably eavesdropping" he said.
"Oh god" I said and looked down.
They're going to kill me.
I sat down on the bed. Ronnie opened the connector door and in walked five disappointed guys.
I dropped my head.
"Why would you do this again?" Aaron asked.
His tone was laced with hurt.
