I throw up those mashed potatoes and that bacon pork tenderloin, and then planted my butt on my bathroom floor.
My phone rings, making me jump a little bit, and then reach up with my arm to grab it off the bathroom counter.
“Hey girl.” I say once I answer Serena’s call.
“Hey, so Tommy asked to take me out tomorrow evening.” She instantly tells me.
“Well, that’s really good.” I chuckled.
I’m glad that she isn’t obsessed over Adam anymore.
I go onto i********: on my phone, after putting the phone on speaker, and I see one of the first posts was one of my cheer team members, Melanie posting that she got accepted into Harvard.
“Damn right it is.” Serena laughs.
“What are you up to?” I ask her.
“Just watching my younger brother.” She sighs.
“Again?” I ask her.
“Yeah, he’s fourteen for goodness sakes.” She explains, sounding agitated.
“Yeah, my parents left me alone when I was his age.” I explain as a matter of fact.
“Exactly.” She tells me.
We stay silent for a good minute, and then Serena breaks it.
“I got to go, I’ll see you at school on Monday, I’m off work tomorrow.” She tells me.
“Oh okay, see you then.” I tell her then hang up.
I got out of my bathroom, and then headed into my bedroom.
I decided to do my homework, so I can just do my job this weekend, and then go to Charles’ dad’s barbeque.
Charles made sure to work a morning shift tomorrow just like me, so we can be able to go to the barbeque.
It was a little last minute, but Charles won’t tell me why we are even having it in the first place.
“You’ll be surprised.” Was all he just tells me.

“Oh my gosh, I hate customers.” My coworker, Megan explains with a sigh.
We are in the office of our job.
I chuckled at her.
“Only a few more hours left.” I explained to her.
“Yeah, then I can go to my um, boyfriend’s.” Megan sighed.
I raised an eyebrow at her.
“So, you two are official?” I asked her.
“Yep, we are.” She tells me with a smile.
“Well that’s good, love is all around here in Hollister.” I chuckled and then continued to make our inventory list.
I’m dating someone, Serena is almost dating someone, my managers are married, and one is engaged, and now Megan is now dating someone, and my other co workers have boyfriends, and a girlfriend.
Like I said, love is all around us.
“When is your break?” Megan asks me.
“Um, in ten minutes.” I tell her, still focusing on my task.
And actually, it’s whenever I finish making this inventory list.
I get a longer break than her, because I’m under 18.
So, while she gets a thirty minute one, I get a thirty-five minute.
“Oh nice, mine is now.” She tells me.
“Lucky you.” I chuckled.
I then finish my task, after she leaves the office, and then I go up to the computer and clock out for my break.
I set the timer on there for thirty-five minutes.
And then grabbed my wallet from my assigned cubby-hole and then walked out of the store and went down to our food area.
I decided on getting Chick-Fil-a, since I’ll be eating a lot at the barbeque.
“What can I get for you?” The guy at the register asks me.
“Yeah, I’ll take a Spicy southwest salad, and a side of chicken noodle soup, oh and a medium-sized Lemonade.” I tell the cute-looking guy.
He then places the order in the register.
“Anything else?” He asked me.
“No, I’m good.” I explained whilst getting out my debit card.
~*~*~*~**~
As I was waiting for my order, I grab a fork and spoon for my soup and salad.
But then, I grab another spoon, so I can shove that down my throat in a bathroom here in the mall, after I’m done eating.
“Macie.” I hear a chick fil a manager, call out.
I gladly take my order from her, and then find a place near the bathroom, and then eat my soup first.
My phone buzzes on my table, and I look to see a text message from my one and only boyfriend.
Hey babe, I get off at 1 pm, my daddy is making me go get some things for the barbeque on my way home, would you want me to get you anything?
I then grabbed my phone, and while I’m eating my soup, with my left hand, I start to text him back with my right hand.
Nah I’m good babe, thank you though, and I’ll see you later ;)
I grinned at my message and then hit sent.
I put my phone back down and then continued to eat.
After my soup, I poured my dressing on the salad, and then started to stuff my face with a lot of the salad.
I got to eat fast because I saw that I have twenty minutes left of break.
When I finished, I threw away my garbage, and then fast-walked like a weirdo going to the ladies’ room, whilst gripping my spoon in one hand, and then my wallet in my other, while my phone is in my back pocket.

{Warning: It’s really graphic here, if it’s too much for you, I recommend that you move onto the next chapter}
I find an empty black bathroom stall, and then lock it from behind me.
I put my phone on the floor and my wallet on top of my phone.
Going down on my knees, I unwrapped the black spoon, and then rise my head up.
To be honest, it looks like I’m praying.
I then shove the end of the plastic spoon down my throat.
It kept making me gag, but with tears streaming down my cheeks, I shove it further down my throat.
I will be skinnier again.
I will.
