Somebody Save Me

Chapter 1

RPOV

I stared at myself in the mirror. I hadn't eaten anything for a month now and I still looked so fat. That's why the girls at the agency laugh at me so much. I'm huge… like a whale.

Nancy keeps offering me food at every meal, but I would just excuse myself protesting I've already eaten. I don't know if she believes me but she doesn't say anything, however, I would still find a sandwich and a glass of milk beside my bed every morning, but I suspected that was Mark.

Nancy and Mark were my parents but I quit calling them Mom and Dad when I was ten. They were very pissed the first year, but they are used to it by now.

Anyways, they keep telling me I'm too thin. Ha! They're totally blind!

I put on an extra large sweatshirt to cover the extra pounds and got out of my room.

I walk downstairs just to find the whole family having breakfast.

"Hello, sweetie, you're just on time for breakfast," said Nancy.

"No thanks. I've got to go."

"Rosalie, come on! You haven't had breakfast – or any meal with us since a month ago!" exclaimed Mark, pulling a chair for me to sit.

"I'm really not hungry and besides, I'm in a hurry," I explained.

"Where are you going?" asked my brother Jasper.

"Not of your business," I replied.

"Rosalie!" scolded Nancy.

I sighed, "To the gym."

"The more reason you've got to eat something," she said, reaching for an apple and offering it to me, "at least this."

I felt nauseated as I pictured myself eating that small apple.

"No thanks, I'm fine," I saw she was still worried, so I added; "I promise I'll eat something at the gym."

"You better do it, young lady," she said playfully, "Off you go!" She reached up to kiss my cheek.

"Bye Nancy, bye Mark, bye Jasper!" I waved goodbye with my hand.

Jasper just nodded, but Mark took me by surprise. He stood up and hugged me, then he whispered to my ear, "Take care."

He went back to his seat and said "Love you!" out loud.

I grabbed my car keys and walked to the door still shocked. What was that about? I wondered on my way to the gym. It was a new one that had just opened a few blocks away from my house.

It was huge, decorated simply, with just a few posters of people exercising. The gym's name wasn't visible, but I didn't care… at all.

Normally, I wouldn't enter a place with no name, some old habit, but these were desperate times. I was going to a photo shoot tomorrow and I needed to lose five pounds.

I parked my car and headed to the entrance.

I was welcomed by a wave of cool air and sweaty smell. I tried to ignore it and walked to the board that had the schedule of the classes.

I was just on time for Spinning, actually I still had five spare minutes, so I decided to make them useful and ask where the class would be.

I walked to the front desk and waited for somebody to attend me.

A girl with mahogany hair which tag read 'Isabella' stood in front of me.

"Hey, I'm Bella. What can I do for you?" she asked with monotone voice.

"Hey, I was wondering if you could tell me where I should go for the Spinning class."

"Sure. It's right there," she said pointing to the room at the bottom of the hall.

"Oh, right. Thanks!"

"You're welcome."

I walk to the room she'd showed me and entered. Almost every bicycle was empty, so I went to the one that was furthest from the instructor, who wasn't there, by the way.

I adjusted it and waited for someone to arrive and begin the class.

Just when I was beginning to lose my patience, a man entered and went to the front bicycle. He was very tall and muscled.

He was also very handsome.

He adjusted his bicycle and turned around to face the class.

He took a general view but stopped his gaze on me.

Oh, God! He's probably looking at me because I'm the fattest person in the room! I panicked as he ran his eyes all over me.

I think he realized I noticed him because he moved his gaze and spoke to the class.

"Okay people, let's begin!" his voice was deep and harsh, "Oh, by the way, I'm Emmett, Emmett McCarthy," he said with a grin.

A/N: Okay people, what do you think? I know it is a short chapter, but I had to cut it somewhere.

I'm already writing the next chapter, and I'll make sure it's longer.

Oh, yeah! Just one favor… Review, review, review!! ;-)
