Okay, thank you all for the great reviews! They were all really sweet and they made me smile. I really, really appreciate them, seriously. Also, a few of you gave me some great ideas which I may incorporate into later chapters…*forshadowing*

KATIE'S POV

I woke up the next morning, and immediately a wave of guilt washed over me. Glancing at the clock, I found that I had somehow slept through the entire afternoon, evening, and night: it was 4:30 in the morning. I rolled over in my bed and slowly pinched the rolls of fat over my stomach. Disgusting.

I forced myself to take a shower, then stood in front of the mirror in my room again, naked.

Oh, it's you again. I was hoping you'd finally kill yourself and rid the world of another ugly sight to see.

"Shut up," I whispered. I ran my hands over my stomach and thighs, cringing slightly.

Don't be so angry at me. You can only blame yourself, especially after that binge-fest yesterday…man, you really are a pig.

The voice was right. It really was all my fault. I couldn't let this happen again!

Now go get dressed, finish your homework that you should have done instead of eating your idiotic little face out, and go to school. No more food for the fatass. Oh god, stop crying. You brought this on yourself.

God dammit, the voice was right again. Shivering slightly, I did as the voice told me.

It was the only way I could be pretty and thin and fit in.

STILL KATIE'S POV

"Alright class! I want to see all of you run as fast as you can out here! And remember, the winning team gets a free pizza party!" Ms. Collins' overzealous smile was really starting to get to me. Oh, stupid Palmwoods gym class.

Somehow, I had managed to get through the entire morning and lunchtime without eating anything, with just a few sips from the water fountain. The last thing I wanted to do was run. I felt slow, and sluggish, not only from the lack of food, but from the malnutrition: I hadn't been getting the vitamins I needed for weeks (I had been an unhealthy eater anyway, and had paid no attention to my lack of vitamins in my diet. Now, I was feeling the consequences.).

But I had to win! Kendall was on my team, and I couldn't let my big brother down, especially because James, Carlos, and Logan were all on a different team, and would probably win the pizza party. Besides, if I ran fast, that would surely burn off tons of calories. It was a win-win situation.

Ms. Collins blew the whistle, and I saw Kendall and James start sprinting as fast as they could, with one of the Jennifers casually walking and texting along the track instead of racing. Typical rich blonde girl.

I saw Kendall inch ahead of James, then pass it off to the girl ahead of him, who took off. I bounced on my heels; I was the final leg of the 300-meter race. I jogged in place, feeling adrenaline course through my veins. I felt oddly light and quick, as if I could do anything in the world (even though I hadn't eaten for almost a day).

The girl ran up to me and passed the baton to me. Before I started to run, I saw the girl: Sarah!

"Wow, you look really fat today, Katie. Better stop eating!" Sarah smiled and went to sit down by the edge of the track.

Anger ran through me, and I ran. I would show her. I was so fast, faster then I had ever been before. I pumped my legs harder and harder. I was beating Carlos! In a rush, I sprinted over the finish line, yards ahead of both the other teams.

As soon as I stopped, however, I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sunlight seemed much too bright, and the trees were a stunning luminous green. I saw black start to face into my line of sight, and I knelt down, clutching my chest. Why couldn't I breathe? What was wrong with me?

"Katie!" Kendall was beside me in an instant. "What's wrong?"

What was wrong with me? I just wanted to be pretty.

"Talk to me! Katie! Oh my god, she's going to pass out. Ms. Collins!"

I felt more people come beside me. They were taking my air.

"I'm fine!" I managed to get out. "Just - go!" I gulped in air. and my vision began to clear.

"Did she have an asthma attack?" "Is she okay?" "I still think she might faint." "Someone call 911!"

I looked up to see Logan frowning. "It wasn't asthma," he said. "I've seen this happen to people with very low blood sugar, but Katie doesn't have any metabolism problems, so I don't know what happened?" Logan's brow was furrowed.

"I'm fine!" I said. "I don't need any help. Let's just go inside."

Kendall was looking at me with concern. "Are you sure, Katie? We can take you to the hospital if you need it."

"I'm fine, big brother. It's not serious. Besides, we won! Aren't you happy?"

Kendall looked at me for a long time.

"Okay, class, let's go learn some math!" Ms. Collins broke the awkward silence.

I knew Kendall would be keeping a close eye on me now. He was always so overprotective.

Better be careful, honey. We don't was anyone to stop you from being pretty. Remember, no one likes a fatass, even Kendall. Especially Kendall.

KENDALL'S POV

Something was up with Katie. What had happened had really scared me, and I didn't want my baby sister to get hurt. She meant everything to me, and if anything happened to her, I would blame myself for not being a good big brother. I knew for sure that I would keep a closer watch on her now. Something was wrong, and I intended to find out.

This chapter was also kind of a bum…the next chapter will be a lot better, I swear! It's legit already planned out.

Did you like this chapter even though I didn't? I really tried to make what happened to Katie realistic, and it was kind of from experience…but never mind that. Please review and tell me what you though of this chapter?
