[i]84lbs. |
| i was anorexic, at least that's what the doctor's said. ashton was really the only one who knew, unless others knew but hadn't said anything. i had promised ash that i would fully follow through with eating right and they all believed me, god knows why, but they did, and he hadn't taken notice of the fact that i haven't eaten in a week. nobody ever does take notice of such blatant things apparently. but ash had jax to worry about, and he was trying to get his proposal idea into play, i shouldn't bother him with my issues anyways. honestly i had been going down a bad path since my mom died and since my relationship with a rather bad guy named brett, he hit me a lot. we broke up like almost two years ago but it still had really messed me up. the funny part is that--well, nobody knew what he did to me, i was too afraid to say it. but i started to get a little well um, how do i put this? wild to put it lightly but also became obsessed with perfection, and not just within ballet, but within myself. it was like i was trying to get back at the world for all the injustices, but if you sat me down and asked me about which injustices i was talking about, i wouldn't know what to say. ash walked in on me then, probably going to tell me i needed to hurry up. [b]"hey happy birthday-- oh c'mon, kitty--" |
| he started to say but stopped and sighed as he saw me weighing myself. "you've got to stop weighing yourself everyday, i thought you were getting better," he said, his slight gruff but smooth french accent coming through. as if anyone could even take me seriously with a name like kitty, pretty sure it stopped being cute at around 10. then it just became relentless meowing by classmates up until highschool. how sweet. "you thought," i muttered under my breath in response to ash, but then said, completely ignoring his weight comment, "thanks for acknowledging my birthday...now, let's go." my own soft and stronger french accent visible. "you're welcome. now, at least put out your cigarette before we leave, i'd rather not have my car smell like smoke." he told me and i complied, putting my cigarette out, although i found it funny since he smoked in his car all the time. but it was whatever, i usually didn't say what i wanted to. i went downstairs and followed ash to his white jeep rubicon and sat shotgun, turning on the radio, between the bars by elliott smith coming on, it was an old song but i loved it. and as ash drove he smirked at me. he pulled into the school parking lot and we both got out and walked into the jailhouse they called a learning environment, and as we walked down the halls people stared at us like they always did. we were known pretty well around the school i guess, me for dating the labeled rebel of the school, also my erratic and perfectionist behavior plus my record with parties also gained me recognition. and ash was known simply because everyone was either intimidated by him, worshipped him, or wanted to be him. but the girls, or most of them at least knew not to flirt with him because he was oh so devoted to [insert name] who also was my best friend, their relationship was so like something out of the movies sometimes that it made me want to puke. but even though she was dating my brother, i confided in that girl with everything, well mostly everything, and she did the same. what made everything so much more ironic is that i had started dating her brother, so i don't really know where exactly i was going with this. i did know one thing though--he had become the only other guy besides ash that i actually trusted. "i'm going to go find [insert name] i'll be back before 1st period starts," he murmured. "okay, have fun with that." i said with a small smile and went to my locker without another word. i was whispering my locker combination to myself as i twisted the knob and opened it up. everything was nice and neat, quite organized for a high school locker. my blue eyes veered towards the little magnetic whiteboard i had and i erased what was written yesterday, grabbed my pastel pink expo marker and began discretely writing. i wrote things down in an order like this; 84lbs. 6 days. swan lake recital next thursday. homecoming shopping this weekend. kate quinn's party at nine tonight. health homework due. ap calc homework due. ap history essay due monday. ash's football game tomorrow. |

| to step up. especially for my son, jax. yeah, you heard me right. it was a drunken one night stand two years ago with this cheerleader named grace culver. it was a huge mistake. i mean, sure, she really is a nice girl and i know i screwed her over in the beginning and i do feel rather terrible for it. i just wasn't in a good place and i didn't want to have a relationship with her, something we're both okay with, we both found someone. you know, i missed the first year of my son's life due to digging such a hole for myself i almost couldn't get out of. at first grace refused to let me see him, but i proved that i would make up for my absence and i have. he is a really great kid, he's even taken a real liking to [the wallflower] i don't blame him. and just when i thought everything was looking up, jax got diagnosed with leukemia about two months ago and is now in the hospital. so that has been a bit rough to go through. no two year old should have to experience that. although apparently the chemo is working well so i'm hoping the odds are in our favor (no pun intended). anyways, considering i was just sitting on the couch in sweatpants i decided i should probably get dressed, so i did, putting on my usual attire of a white t-shirt, brown leather jacket, jeans, and converse. that was kind of my signature look, and with the tattoos i had going up my forearm it looked rather cool in some people's opinions. i noticed then that if we didn't leave soon we'd be late, so i went upstairs to get kitty and i told her happy birthday before seeing that she was weighing herself again while smoking a cigarette. she worried me a lot, you could see in her eyes that she was losing herself. but i wasn't going to try to control her, no, just advise her. i probably should've done something, but i think i might be in denial. but we left then and i heard that song, it was the kind of song that made you feel a twinge of nostalgia almost or just a longing to relive some days. and as we walked in and down the hall, i looked at everyone and they looked at me, some giving high fives, some looking away, and some staring. i don't know why. it was somewhat strange but interesting, the strong reactions people had towards other people. i told kitty i was going to go find [insert name] and [insert name] and she said okay and headed for her locker. honestly i could say that i was unquestionably committed to [insert name], i never really felt that way completely about someone before, at all actually. it was weird but nice all the same. i was considering proposing to her at graduation, i had it all planned out, however i just had no idea how the hell i was supposed to execute that plan. |
