"Fat."
It was that voice again, bouncing around in his skull. Mocking him, teasing him, hurting him.
"Fat."
Dougie lurched up the stairs, leaving behind him the happy chatter of his friends and their girlfriends. Not his girlfriend- he didn't have a girlfriend.
"Because you're fat."
He stumbled in to the bathroom, turned on the tap and started gulping water from it. It was routine to him now, nothing new here.
"Fat."
He turned to the toilet, bent over it, stared down and closed his eyes.
He knew what he had to do.
His finger moved up to his mouth, inside, further, further-
"FatFatFat-"
Further, just a bit more-
"Fat! Fat! Fat!"
After he'd finished, he wiped his mouth, flushed the toilet, gargled with mouth wash, splashed water over his face and quietly walked in to the living room. Nobody noticed he'd gone- but he didn't care, simply because the voice was gone, and maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't be fat for much longer.
