Wishful Thinking

Abby isn't the skinniest girl in the world. She's healthy, but to her, that's not skinny enough. That's average, and she doesn't want to be average. She wants to be skinny. So, she does what anyone who wants to lose weight does. She follows through with it. Only, not in a healthy way, like exercising or eating healthier. She just eats less. And less. And less. Finally, whenever she eats, however rarely it is, she pukes it up. No one notices, of course, they're too busy caught up in their own lives. Her mom is always at work, her sister is away at college, her friends notice, but don't bother her enough about it to change anything. Her dad isn't even a part of her life, anymore. He left when she was 10. When Justin shows up, she is in a bad place, and he is the only one who could possibly pull her out.
