The lack of sleep was really starting to show on me. My acting was worse. I couldn't remember my lines, and I had huge bags under my eyes that were covered by makeup. One day I was getting into costume for Henry danger and Janet was helping me get ready when the door opened and once again Mr. Carver came in. But this time he looked sad and he said to me, "look I really don't want to tell you this... No i shouldn't... But you deserve to know."
"Mr. Carver what is it?" I asked nervously. "Well I don't want to get you down on your day of shooting but I guess if you really want to know... I saw Jace kissing another girl." What! No! Jace wouldn't do that to me! "You're lying!" I yelled at him. "I wish I were but it's true. Honestly, I'm not that surprised you two never spend time together and he wants to move on."
"No!" I started to cry. "Oh don't cry? I confronted him and he said that you were ugly and fat but I can fix that!" He pulled out a bottle of pills and a really wide belt. "I can help you be really thin and beautiful so Jace will be begging to take you back! Just put this belt on under your clothes and close it tight. Then take two of these pills whenever you feel hungry so you won't feel hungry anymore! You'll look better in no time! I will also be controlling what you eat from now on." I was just staring at the floor taking it all in. "Come on, don't you want him back?" He asked. Maybe it was everything that had happened that made me do it but I took the stuff from him and put on the belt. Janet looked like she would cry for me. I was trying to get the belt on but I didn't have the strength or energy to get of tight enough. "Janet! Help her get it on!" Mr. Carver barked. Janet glared angrily at him like she was about ready to punch him, but she came over and helped me. "Tighter! She has to look beautiful!" He yelled. Not only was I under contract that said that I had to do whatever he said as long as he kept getting me gigs, but I was terrified by him now. I was afraid to see what would happen if I didn't do as I was told. I couldn't fight him anymore, it was just easier to do what he said no matter how miserable it made me. Janet finished putting the belt on me and it covered most of my stomach and part of my ribs. It was so tight I couldn't breathe. But he was right. I did look thinner. I took two of the pills and they tasted disgusting but I chocked them down. Later after I was done shooting I tried to get away without Jace noticing but he ran up to me and grabbed my shoulder. "Hey are you avoiding me?" He asked. "Don't talk to me! I don't want to see you!" I had to try hard not to cry. The old me would have punched him, but the old me was gone. "What? What's going on?" He asked like he really didn't know. "Oh don't play dumb! I know you kissed another girl!" I started to cry. "What I wouldn't do that! I love you! Who told you that? It was That manager of yours wasn't it?" I stayed silent. "I knew it! What else has he been telling you? What has he done to you? What has he done to my Emma?" He tried to grab my arm but I pulled away. "Don't touch me! Leave me alone!" Just then Mr. Carver came running over. "Hey leave her alone. You heard her, she doesn't want to see you!" He said to Jace. Jace exploded an shoved Mr. Carver and he fell down. "What are you doing to her?!" Jace yelled. Mr. Carver jumped up and grabbed my arm and dragged me away. I didn't go back on set for a couple of weeks which was fine with me after what happened. People kept trying to text me but I ignored everyone. I was getting a lot worse by then. The belt had left big dark bruises all over my mid section and I wouldn't eat for days. I was so pale and weak, but I had to hide it all. I had gotten all of about 1 hour of sleep this week. I looked like crap. Now I see why he hired a makeup artist for me for every day. He knew this would happen. All he cares about was getting paid. He didn't care what happened to me. Excepting him as my manager was the worst mistake of my life and now it might end it. Janet felt so bad for me. Wanted to quit, but she was under contract too. She kept trying to sneak me food, but because of the pills, I wouldn't eat it. I had to take more and more pills to control my hunger. Janet did everything she could to help me, but I was slipping away, and fast. I was on such a downward spiral that I believed everything that Mr. Carver said. All those mean Instagram comments came back to me and I just thought that I was as good as dead. What once was the biggest dream of my life had now turned into a nightmare.
