Nurses ebbed and flowed through the hospitals pathetically dull hallways like a lifeless river, that did not run deep. Kagome sat at a table, with three other people.
The first had long dull lifeless chesnut hair, dry as a desert, and black eyes that could devastate anyone, or atleast suck you inside like a vacume. She was followed by a small yet stout in Kagomes eyes girl, about 16 , who sported a short black bob. Her thick tan skin was covered by a hospital gown that draped over her shapeless figure. Her deep blue eyes were once peircing, but became dull after being followed by the dark bags under them.
The last was a boy suprisingly enough, he had shoulder length black hair, straightened to perfection. His eyes were peircing and blood red. He had a black lip peircing that sat somewhat threateningly on his perfect pink lips. The minute Kagome trailed her eyes downward while her curiosity peaked, she saw his thin pale flesh stretched over his bones. On a second look, she noticed that his face too was gaunt, as she realized hers was aswell.
Each of the three people stared at Kagome as she sat down, analysing her as she had done to them, all making their judgements. The girl with the brown hair tossed her eyes back to her plate, and the thicker one stared at her in envy whilst the boy continued to stare. A new girl at the eating disorder unit was news to them.
Awardly Kagome lifted her boney arms from the plastic chair and toward her plastic cuttlery. She rolled her eyes.
I'm seeing a pattern here, one that I am not appreciating.
She stared at the food infront of her menicingly, like it was a ginormous bubbling green monster with puss oozing out of its plasma filled eyes. It was a staring contest, Kagome and food, food and Kagome.
Everyones eyes managed to return and leave Kagomes shaking form once more before their return to their own battles, besides the boy.
"Hello." he managed, quite weakly. He outstreached his hand, every vein stood out , one would almost expect them to shoot out from his skin.
"Hi.." breathed Kagome whilst shaking his hand with her slightly larger one. She fought with every fiber in her being to repress the negative comments that began to pop up.
"I'm Aaron. Your..?"
"Kagome." She shifted her eyes back down to her food, in a feeble attempt to escape his calculating eyes.
"What are you in here for?"
"Uh.. Well.. I am what the nurses have been calling the bulimirexic..." Trailed off a red in the face Kagome, embaressed by her choppy awkward sentance, nobody had ever been so upfront with her and it took her aback.
"Oh. I'm an anorexic, theres alot of controversy between the anorexics and bulimics here. Prepare for the worst of it, since your in the middle." He said bluntly, ending his sentance with a wink and a laugh before continuing to chew on his toast.
Kagome smiled and looked down at her meal. Her eyes scanned the white plate menicingly.
whole wheat bread.. 180 calories... peanut butter... 150 calories at least... milk... must be 2%... 130 calories.. fruit... negative ca-
She was quickly awaken from her calculations by a nudge from aaron.
"Haha, if you try to count all the calories you'll just phsyc yourself out. Try eating the toast first, if you eat the fruit last it leaves everything on a higher note, if thats even possible here."
Kagome eyed him , and the plate suspiciously. "How would you know? Your thinner than me." she jutted out before accepting how sharp her voice sounded.
Prodding at the toast he smirked before the girl in the bob spoke.
"I'm Nicole, Bulimic, and He used to be even thinner than that. If he was his current weight when he came out he would be out of this hell hole by now." She rolled her eyes before glaring at him, envy coursing through her veins.
"Nicole, dont talk about me like that, I dont mention how you are obese and in an eating disorder unit." He smirked, but it quickly fell once Nicole closed her eyes and withdrew herself from her plate.
In one quick motion she flipped her plate onto the floor and ran back to her room, nurses following like a new entry way had been introduced to the rivers current.
"That was a little mean.." Kagome managed to stiffle.
"True, but she knew better than to say that about me. But enough about us, eat your breakfast, if you dont they will keep you shut inside your room for ages, and I bet i've been assigned as your big brother." Aaron smiled at Kagome, a remarkable smirking smile, one that sparked brighter than a thousand suns. Of course Kagome would never think about another boy like she thinks of Inuyasha, but damn.
Kagome smiled back before putting her toast back down, realizing she had eaten half of it already.
I lock the door
Turn on the water
Bury that sound
So no one hears anything anymore
Mirrors lie to me, tell me you can see
Maybe you won't be able to recognize me now
I know you can feel, all the things you steal
And you're taking, you're taking it
"Nothanks, I have had enough for today. Thankyou aaron." Kagome stood up, skakey yet again and walked back to her room.
The walls were animationless, just like their patients. Kagome didnt know how she could get better in a place like this, a hell hole just like Nicole had called it. Everything was white- including the food.
Feeling so easy
Make me skin and bones
I'm always on my knees for you
You break like it's even
When you're leaving and
Thin, where the hell have you been?
Well sometimes it burns
Baby I'll wash it out
It all look so big
Never mind, I don't feel anything
Before she knew it, she had returned to her room, and the first thing she did was walk towards the mirror. She flipped a few locks of unkept hair out of her face and behind her perky ears. Stroking her cheeks with her pointy fingers, she decided they were still much to fleshy for her liking. She traced the outline of her shape, grinning as she felt the bones, the rewards of her laborous work.
It only hurt a bit
I still feel like shit
And I think you won't be able to recognize me now
It's easier to quit
Harder to admit and
You're pushing me, you're fucking pushing me!
Kagome left her painful instrument of torture, and sat crosslegged on the uncomfortable bed, she could feel every spring in the mattress, or maybe it was her bones, she really was not sure. She looked down at her legs before shutting her eyes.
Laughin' like it works
Bleeding like it don't hurt
Knock you off your feet
Even if you need me
Tear you apart, and I hate how I need you
Please give me the strength to love myself more than I love my bones
Give me the passion to say screw you to the mirror and say wonderful to my hips
Give me the gratification to pick up that apple without guilt
Give me the wisdom to become bigger than the massive white void I turn to with my feelings
And most importantly, let my shoulder blades break free into beautiful wings that know no boundries of this world, and let me fly away from this mess...
