Sophie was alone when she woke up the next morning due to her sister being at school for the day and Charlie at work. She spent most of her morning cleaning around the house, doing extra laundry for her family and putting away the dishes.

She stayed moving for as long as she could, trying to make up for the big meal she had ate that morning. When she finally ran out of things to do downstairs, she returned to her room and laid on the floor.

Her back ached with each sit-up she did but Sophie had learned to ignore her pain a long time ago.  

After a few minutes, Sophie finally stopped, her head was pounding and her throat dry from not having any water. Hipbones stuck out from under her shirt, plainly obvious as Sophie lied still. She grunted when she pushed herself up, ignoring the pulling feeling in her stomach as she chugged from her water bottle.

"Okay." Sophie whispered to herself as she looked around her room. It looked just like it had when she left it - her sage green walls were decorated with photos of random things. Her bed was pushed up against the wall, sitting next to her desk which was cluttered with biology notes and sketchbooks.

Sophie walked over to the desk, trailing her fingers over the sketchbooks. She opened the one closest to her, noting that it was the newest one she had. There were only a few drawings in the book and one that was barely started.

Sophie's love of drawing began in middle school when she began doodling on the corner of pages. Her dad had bought her first sketchbook as a Christmas present and Sophie filled it soon after. 

She pulled out the chair to her desk and picked up one of her pencils. At first, her tired eyes only observed the drawing. It was a landscape picture, but Sophie couldn't remember where the scenery was inspired from. While Sophie had been in school for biology, she was also taking a minor in art.

Her dream career was to be a biological illustrator, specifically for coastal environments and animals. Forks was a great place to see beautiful scenery and La Push beach wasn't too far from where she lived.

It helped that her best friend, Jacob Black, lived in La Push, so she was able to get to the beach often to draw. 

Her focus shifted slightly when she turned sixteen. Instead of drawing landscapes, she drew her inspiration from shows such as Say Yes to the Dress and America's Next Top Model. At first, her drawings were normal - girls in flowing dresses or dressed in bold patterns. However, the more she drew, the skinnier the girls became.

The skinnier the drawings became, the skinnier Sophie became.

Sophie loved beautiful things - she wished she didn't see broken bodies as beautiful. She wished she didn't wish to be beautiful.

Sophie sighed and sat down her pencil once more. There was no point in continuing the drawing if she couldn't remember what the rest of the landscape looked like. She'd have to remember how to get to the meadow in the drawing before she could continue it.
