This is going to be the second part of Effie's past. Also I don't plan on going by the books with this one. For the end, Prim is going to be alive instead of dead.
Effie recollects herself, and puts on her robe. She goes into her closet, and pulls out a pair a pajamas.
"Effie?" Amelia asks.
"I'm not dressed," Effie replies.
"Are you okay? I thought I heard you retching from downstairs," Amelia says.
"Wasn't me. It must have been your imagination," Effie lies.
"As long as you're okay," Amelia says.
"Yeah, just going to bed a little early. I have so many test in the morning," Effie says.
"Okay, see you in the morning," Amelia says.
"Yeah...see you in the morning," Effie says.
That morning, Effie felt like crap. Her stomach twisted with hunger, and her arms stung in pain. She went through the whole day with eating. That day became days. The days became weeks, and the weeks became months. For five months Effie starved herself. She ate enough to keep from collapsing, but that wasn't enough
"Effie are you okay?" Her friend, Portia asks.
"Yeah, just a little sick," Effie said.
"Effie, you've been saying that for the past five months," Portia points out.
"There's nothing to be worried-"
Effie could barely finish her sentence. She immediately felt light-headed and dizzy.
"Effie?" Portia asks.
The room started spinning, and finally Effie collapsed. Effie was rushed to the hospital. Nothing major was seen, but the size of her stomach. Over the past five months, her stomach shrank. When Effie was able to eat, she could only have broth. She was then checked into a teen mental ward for the next five months. Thankfully, she was able to complete her schoolwork while in the ward. During those six months, Effie's parents divorced. Amelia lived with their mother, while Effie lived with her dad.
At the age of sixteen, Effie vowed to never starve or cut again. Yes, she got the urges, but she learned how to deal with. Portia gladly helped her through the rough transition.
One more crappy chapter ending to add to the list. The next chapter, I'm going to start talking about Prim, and her situation again. Just as a friendly reminder, I am not going by the books in the next few chapters.
