Paige stood in her room, looking at herself in the mirror again.
I wish I could be at least a stone smaller. I hate the way I look. She said grabbing at her skin and pulling a face. She turned the mirror away from her. Suddenly Phoebe burst into her room.
"Oh, it's you. Where have you been?"
"Out"
"Where?"
"None of your business. I heard Grams say you didn't eat breakfast today"
"I did"
"Did not"
"Did"
"What did you have then?"
"One of those cereal bar thingy's"
"Liar."
"I am not!"
"They weren't opened. Why aren't you eating Paige"
"I am"
"Don't lie!"
"Shut up!"
"What's going on with you?"
"What's going on with you? "
"Nothing. Don't change the subject. Just face it Paige. You've got a problem"
"Shut up, I haven't! Why won't you all just leave me alone?" she shouted storming out the room, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know why she was crying: because no one understood; or because Phoebe might be right?
She locked herself in the bathroom and sat against the door crying silently. There was a soft knock and Piper said,
"Paige, dinner's ready"
"I'm not hungry"
"You have to eat something"
"I said I'm not hungry," she said angrily. Piper walked away. A few minutes later she heard footsteps and then Grams' voice.
"Paige Halliwell get out here right now"
"I want to be left alone"
"Now!" Grams said. Paige stood up and opened the door. "What's all this nonsense?"
"I'm not hungry"
"Don't be silly. Go downstairs right now and eat your damn dinner!" Grams said tiredly. Paige knew not to argue with Grams so she followed her downstairs.
She sat down at the table and Grams placed a huge plate, piled high with chicken and fries. Paige felt sick just looking at it.
Imagine all the calories. It's disgusting. You'll be so fat if you eat all this. Fatter…"I can't eat all this"
"You can, and you will. Or you're grounded for two months"
"What? That is so unfair."
"No, it isn't. Now eat!" Grams said loudly, almost shouting. Paige knew she couldn't argue her way out of this one. She was going to try and make a run for it but knew it wasn't worth trying.
Everyone around the table sat there staring at her.
"Stop staring at me"
"Then eat" Prue said
"Shut up!"
"Paige don't be rude. Now she's right. Eat." Paige picked up her fork and looked again at her sisters.
"I'm not a fucking freak show thanks"
"Don't swear Paige"
"Whatever" she said picking up one fry and putting it in her mouth. She wanted to throw up.
How can you do this? She asked herself angrily. Everyone else started eating too. They made general chit-chat but Paige could see their eyes all flickering back over to her. She ate about half the plate unwillingly and knew she couldn't eat anymore.
"Paige eat up"
"No, I'm full"
"Eat. Now."
"NO!" Paige shouted, tears in her eyes. They didn't understand. No one did. They didn't see what she saw. If they did they wouldn't be forcing all this food down her throat. "LEAVE ME ALONE! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! I DON'T WANT TO EAT THIS! WHY DON'T YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME? I'M NOT HUNGRY!" she shouted, tears now streaming down her face. She threw the half eaten dinner across the room before running into the hallway and out the front door.
Personally, I think this is the best chapter at the moment… What you guys out there think?
