Rikki woke up early she needed to go for run before she had to be at school she rolled out of bed and started to get dressed she avoided all the mirrors on her way not wanting to see how fat she was. After she was dressed she stepped on the scale and sighed at the number 89lbs she didn't understand why she couldn't look perfect couldn't be thin. She stepped off and went out the front door for her run. When she got back home breathing heavily she had an awful pain in her head and side but ignored it and kept moving she jumped in the bath to get ready for school. When she got out she smelled food bacon eggs pancakes she came out of her room seeing her father sitting there with two plates. Did he actually think she was going to eat all that fat? At least her new wicked step-mother wasn't here her dad wouldn't believe how much of a bitch she was to her when he wasn't there she never thought her dad would treat her that way and her step-mom Jane was a skinny conceited bitch she had no problem telling me how fat I was or to ask me how I could live with that now she doesn't say anything I guess it's all to disgusting to even comment about how fat and ugly I am now she just stares shocked every time she sees me then looks to dad probably trying to convince him to send me to some fat camp.
"where is Jane" said Rikki
"she went to visit her parent for a little while" said terry
not wanting to mention how distraught she is about rikki's declining health and how she couldn't bare to see it anymore what terry didn't know was that the only reason she couldn't bare it was because she blamed herself for nor remember how fragile the female self esteem is especially at her age and how stupid she feels for degrading her the way she did she just can't sit by and watch the man she married daughter die
"well I'm off to school" said Rikki
"not until you eat breakfast" said terry
"dad I can't no time I will eat at school" said Rikki running out the door before he had time to reply
She was walking towards school ignoring all the starts and whispers she knew she must look disgusting she didn't know why no matter how much she lost she couldn't be thin but did they have to stare. She was lost in thought of a new exercise plan when someone walked up behind her.
"hey babe" said Zane
"hey" replied Rikki smiling at him
He leaned down and kissed her passionately she was lost for a moment. How could I love someone so much I don't know why he loves me when I am so fat? When Zane pulled away he smiled at me putting his arm around my waist.
"want to stop for breakfast" asked Zane holding his breath he didn't know why she was doing this to herself and he didn't know how to make her stop.
"no I am not hungry" said Rikki
"Rikki you need to eat" said Zane pleadingly
"Zane calm down my dad basically force fed me a very large breakfast this morning" said Rikki
"oh really because I just talked to your dad and he said you ran out saying you would grab something on the way" said Zane Rikki stopped smiling
"Zane stop" said Rikki
"no you need to eat" said Zane
"I am not hungry" yelled Rikki
Why did he want her to be fat why couldn't they all just let her be it was her body she could do what she liked with it. It wasn't like she was doing what Emma was and eating everything she can and then throwing up or Cleo who did every drug she was given and screwed around with every boy she wanted and even ones she didn't just to get free drugs.
"Rikki you have to stop your killing yourself" yelled Zane
"I'm fine Zane there is nothing wrong with me. Now have you any idea how we can help Cleo or Emma" said Rikki changing the subject
Zane knew it was no use he felt like screaming just looking at her. But what could he do if she wouldn't even admit there was something wrong
"no I don't know how to help Cleo she will not admit she has a problem and there is nothing wrong with em" said Zane
"yes there is you haven't noticed how she goes to the restroom after she eats or her bloodshot eyes or how much she exercises" said Rikki
"you exercise more than she does" said Zane
"shut up and drop it Zane" said Rikki glaring at him
"no I won't drop it until I see you eat something" yelled Zane
"go to hell" yelled Rikki walking away he followed her so she broke into a run and dived into the ocean Zane stepped back and looked around making sure no one saw then he took a deep breath and walked towards school not knowing what he was suppose to do.
Rikki swam through the ocean she felt so weak it was hard to pull her tail along see this was what happened when you were fat you couldn't even carry yourself Rikki pulled herself up out of the moon pool collapsing once she was dry she couldn't even keep her eyes open everything felt heavy then all she saw was darkness.
2 hours later
Lewis walked into the moon pool to get more samples for his research on the phone with a very freaked out and distraught Zane
"I'm sorry Zane I haven't seen her she probably just skipped" said Lewis rolling his eyes
"she didn't skip Lewis I saw her this morning she ran off into the water now she is gon3e what if she passed out somewhere huh and she is just laying at the bottom of the ocean" yelled Zane
"Zane Rikki wouldn't pass out" said Lewis
"Lewis she is anorexic weakness is a part of that imagine pulling along a tail under water when you probably can't even pick up a 5 pound weight without feeling faint" said Zane
"and how do you know that" asked Lewis he didn't even know that
"I bought a book" said Zane quietly
"wow you a book I didn't even know you could read" said Lewis laughing until he saw the limp body of his best friend passed out on the floor
"what's going on" asked Zane catching Lewis's sudden change in mood and breathing
"I found her your right she probably past out she is breathing but it looks way to fast" said Lewis
"don't worry I'm on my way Lewis don't touch her ok and the irregular breathing is normal for someone with anorexia" said Zane hanging up and running to his boat to get to mako
He scared out of his mind driving all the way there hoping she was ok when he got there Lewis was nearby he looked freaked out to
"what do we do" asked Lewis
Zane ignored him and kneeled by Rikki he placed his hand on her shoulder trying to wake her. Lewis and I were really starting to freak when she opened her eyes"whats everybody doing her" asked Rikki her voice sounded small and quiet not like the Rikki they know and love
"you passed out Rikki you need a doctor" said Lewis witch Zane automatically shook his head to Lewis gave him a what look Rikki jumped up
"no I'm fine just tired" said Rikki
"Rikki…" said Lewis
"no I'm fine" yelled Rikki about to jump back in the water
"wait" yelled Zane
"what" she asked turning around
"if you're tired let me take you home on my boat" said Zane Rikki looked at him suspiciously before nodding and walking off with him
Lewis gave him a sympathetic look as he walked away with her at least Rikki hadn't dumped him or screwed a boat load of guys right in his face not like what Cleo did to him no Rikki needed help but Cleo needed more the girl he loved was killing herself and he didn't know how to help her.
At Rikki's house
"I'M FINE" yelled Rikki for what seemed like the thousandth time
"Zane said he and Lewis found you passed out" said terry
She glared at Zane before walking towards her room but her dad grabbed her stopping her retreat
"Rikki you need to go to the hospital" said terry Rikki pulled herself violently away
"no" screamed Rikki "you can't do that to me"
"Rikki you need help" said Zane terry walked towards her to try and get her to the car put Rikki jerked back grabbing knife holding it to her wrist
"Rikki no put it down "yelled Zane panicked
"leave me alone I don't need a hospital or help I'm fine now step back and let me go" said Rikki Zane and terry both stepped back and she ran into her room leaving the knife falling to the floor
Zane was sitting with Emma, Lewis and ash
"I don't know what to do she won't get help" said Zane
"there is nothing you can do mate she is going to get sicker and sicker" said Lewis
"she might die" said Emma
"no" said Zane
"she is right Zane if she won't admit what's wrong or get help then she will die and by the way she looks it will be soon" said ash
"no I won't let that happen I am done doing things her way it's going to happen my way now" said Zane standing up with a new determination heading towards Rikki's house
"what do you think he is going to do" said ash
"I don't know but I am defiantly going to watch" said Cleo coming up from behind them heading towards the door the other three looked at each other and ran out following Cleo and Zane's cars
A/N: what will happen what is Zane going to do will it work will Cleo and Emma get help or even admit they have a problem review please criticism is welcome except on the spelling and grammar I already know I suck at that
