Roommates

Chapter 7

Katie's P.O.V

It feels great to be with Maria. She makes me feel like myself, she makes me laugh and cry, but most of all she is the best person in my life.

We have been together for 2 weeks now and everything feels right. I haven't heard from him since we broke up, which I'm glad. It is the worst when your ex contacts you and wants to get back together with you. 

Today Maira and I have chosen to stay at home and watch the office. I started our big breakfast which includes pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage and apple juice.

"Breakfast is ready Maria."

We ate so much that we both had to undo our pants just to be comfy.

"I'm so bloated."

"Me too. I'll be back to help. Just have to go to the washroom."

"Ok..."

I watched her walk away and quickly followed her. I stood outside the door and carefully placed my ear up against the door. There was some gagging and finally, I heard something splash into the water. 

I backed up against the wall and waited for her to get out of the bathroom.

"Maria."

She gasped and fell back.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

I pulled her up and forced her to walk to the living room.

"Maria, are you sick? Is that why you were puking."

"N-No...I have to tell you something."

"O-Ok. Maria, you're making me nervous."

She took a deep breath and told me all about her childhood and living at her grandmother's.

"I gained so much weight. My mother told me to lose it because those who are f-fat should d-die and no daughter of hers would be f-fat."

I gasped and pulled her close to me. Then she told me how she eats as much as she wants and then throws it all up because she's afraid that she will gain weight and die immediately.

"Maira. Why haven't you told me?"

"I-I thought that you would leave and I would be alone forever."

"I said that I would never leave you."

"I-I know. I just-I just want to make you happy."

"You already do, but I would be happy even if you got help."

"Help? N-No...I tried last time. It didn't help."

"But this time I'll be there with you."

She furiously shook her head and hid under the blankets.

"Ok. We won't go, but if you are sent to the hospital or you pass out again, I am getting you help."

"O-Ok.."

"Good. Now, do you want to watch Clouds?"

She nodded her head and curled up close to me.

I sound rude but I hope she passed out and gets sent to the hospital so that she can get help. I know how much she enjoys my cooking, but I don't want her throwing it up our whole life together.
