Aubrey's POV:

Being surrounded by all this food made me feel nauseated. I don't remember the last time I had a full meal.

"Hey are you alright?" Cara asks sitting beside me

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lie, "I'm still a little tired from traveling."

She just nods and eats her food. I got in from New York yesterday. Modeling camp wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. The constant judgemental stares from everybody didn't help with my confidence.

"How was New York? Tessa asks joining Cara and I at the table

"Amazing." I tell her faking enthusiasm

"That's great!" She smiles, "Are you a famous model now?"

I just laugh. I couldn't answer that. At the start of the summer, I would've said yes, My dream has always been to be a model and to work with different fashion companies, including my mothers. However, after months of being told that I am too fat, or too ugly, I'm starting to think that my dream will never come true. I spent most nights locked in my room crying because of the harsh comments. Starving myself wasn't something I had ever thought of until a few weeks ago. Adam had suggested it after one of my fittings. At first it was hard. I was constantly hungry and I always felt tired and weak, but Adam encouraged me to keep going.

"I'm gonna use the bathroom, be right back." I tell the girls

I get up and push my way through the crowd until I find the bathroom tucked in a corner. I close the door behind me and turn the tap on. I bend down to the toilet and stick my finger down my throat until I throw up. I do this until I can't throw up anymore. I get up and flush the toilet. I turn the tap off and put some gum in my mouth. I open the door and slip back into the party.

"Hey Aubrey!" I hear someone call out

I see Cameron Jones standing in front of me. I roll my eyes and keep walking. Cameron follows me.

"You look great!" He tells me

"Thanks." I say feeling slightly annoyed

I'm the most popular girl at school so I'm used to losers trying to befriend me.

"How was New York?" He asks

"Great."

"That's awesome!" He smiles

I nod and keep walking. I pick up my pace and lose him the crowd.

"What took so long?" Cara asks when I finally sit back down

"Cameron Jones trying to talk to me." I laugh

"He's pretty nice." Tessa smiles

"You would say that." I tell her

"What's that supposed to mean?" She asks clearly hurt

"He's more your type. Nerdy and awkward." I smile

It was true. If it wasn't for our mothers, none of us would talk. We're all so different. I am the most popular girl at school, Cara is a swimmer, Meredith is the president of everything, and Tessa spends most of her time painting and reading. We don't have anything in common, so we usually only hang out together when our mothers are around. I like to call it fake friends. We tell our parents we are hanging out with each other, whenever one of us wants to go somewhere without our parents knowing. It's worked out pretty well so far.

"Aubrey, that wasn't very nice." Cara tells me

Tessa must have left after I made that comment.

"But it's true." I say rolling my eyes

Cara gets up and leaves me at the table all alone. I roll my eyes again and take out my phone. Maddie must be here somewhere. I check my phone and see a text from a blocked number:

I know your secret. Try these, they might drop the pounds a little faster.

-A

Attached was a picture of weight loss pill.

I gasp. How could someone know? I've always been so cautious. I run my hands through my hair nervously. Maybe this A person was right. I haven't been losing as much weight as I'd like. Weight loss pills would definitely help. I lock my phone and grab my purse. I look around and sneak out the front door. I take out my phone and text Cara.

I'm going home. Still a little tired. Apologize to Tessa for me.

I get in my car and drive thirty minutes to a store in the middle of nowheres.

"Can I help you with anything?" The saleslady asks

"No thanks." I smile as I head down the aisle looking for the pills

I finally find them and grab three bottles. I go to the self checkout and pay with cash. The last thing I want is for my parents to find out about the pills. I run to my car and take one pill. One should be enough, right?

"I'm really hopeful about the weight coming off." I tell Adam

"That's great." He says sounding distant through the phone

"Anyway, enough about me." I say, "How are things in New York?"

"Awesome. I have a shoot with Val tomorrow."

"I'm so happy for you!" I smile

"I have to go." He says quickly, "I want to get some sleep before tomorrow."

"Okay. Have fun!" I say, "Love you."

He hangs up as soon as I say I love you. I shake it off and go to bed.

I wake up to see my phone exploding with notifications. I check instagram and find a picture of Val and Adam kissing.

'What the hell!" I yell

I check my texts and see another message from A:

Maybe if you were as pretty as her, he wouldn't have cheated. Better take some more pills.

-A

I start crying so hard that my body shakes. I grab my bottle of pills and take three. A was right. If I was skinnier and prettier, Adam wouldn't have cheated on me. I pick my phone and furiously dial Adam's number.

"Hey baby." He says

"Why'd you do it?" I ask him getting right to the point

"Do what?" He asks

"Cheat on me."

"I don't know what you're talking about." He says

"Please Adam, I'm not stupid. I saw the picture on Val's instagram. I believe the caption was 'happy six months to the best boyfriend ever.'" I spit out angrily

"Oh." He says awkwardly

"Oh? That's all you have to say?" I ask, "You were dating someone I considered to be one of my best friends the whole time we were dating."

"I'm sorry." He says

"Me too." I yell into the phone

"You aren't going to tell your mom are you?" He asks, "I know her new line is coming out soon and-"

I cut him off, "Let me guess, you were using me to get to my mom. You just wanted to be on her good side."

"You make it sound like it's a bad thing."

I hang up the phone and throw it across the room. I reach over and take four more pills. Adam is going to regret ever using me.

Thanks again for reading chapter 2! It means a lot! Let me know what you thought about this chapter:)
