This is based upon one of my favourite Stephen King Novels, I figured why not combine it with my favourite TV show?

A warning to all readers, this story deals with grief, horror, anguish and sadistic torture. There is no sex and very few swear words however the things they deal with are far from pleasant.

I hope you enjoy =D

Fatter

Chapter one

126

"Fatter" the old gypsy man whispered to Chad as he and Sonny were leaving the Directors office.

Fatter.

And before Chad could pull away the gypsy stroked Chad's cheek with one twisted tobacco stained finger.

Fatter.

Chad snapped out of his flashback as he stood on his bathroom scales at seven in the morning with a towel wrapped round his waist.

Chad looked down at the numbers past his imaginary stomach.

He was a skinny man, too skinny his doctor had told him.

His doctor was always telling Chad to gain weight, good news then.

Chad was up three pounds to 126, actually his scales had read 120 the night before last, but he has been working out since.

He had heard many things about gypsies however he never truly knew what to believe, and curses?

A knock at his dressing room, "Chad?" it was Sonny.

"Coming" replied Chad immediately. Chad dressed quickly and rushed to answer the door.

Chad has been dating Sonny for three weeks now; last week had been the incident, however he had forgotten about it until he stepped onto the scales this morning.

Sonny stood there in his doorway, an image of beauty, she smiled brilliantly and the two hugged before departing.

As they walked together, hand in hand, to breakfast Chad began to speak.

As he did Sonny's smile quickly faded. " I spoke with the adults yesterday about the bullying, it has to stop Sonny" spoke Chad, a mixture of sympathy and hatred burned in his eyes like a blue flame.

"Chad you didn't!" she replied almost like an infant would.

"Its okay, I went late so no one was there and the adults have agreed to keep you anonymous." She relaxed slightly and he continued " they are going to say they saw it happening".

That set Sonny's mind to rest. Life was difficult lately for Sonny, people teased her about the incident, and gypsy killer was a popular remark.

"You know it was an accident don't you?" asked Chad calmy and with understanding.

She nodded, her eyes began to glisten with fresh tears.

Changing the subject Chad attempted to cheer her up.

"I checked the scales today, ive gained three pounds!"

Sonny smiled "That's great Chad, how did you do it?" she asked interested.

"I'm not really sure" replied Chad " anyway you said you like me a little…"

Fatter

Chad stopped dead in place, he loose go of Sonny's hand and stared blankly into the distance.

Sonny turned to Chad concerned " what's wrong?"

"Nothing " he replied, almost snapping out of his trance as he did. In his mind he could not shake the memory of the old man and his twisted fingers. He touched him, it was a repulsive thought.

And that one word still echoed through Chad's mind like a gun shot in a deep cave.

Fatter.

He finally shook it off and they began walking to breakfast once again, this time not hand in hand.

They sat down together in the cafeteria. Chad has his usual bowl of Special K , with orange juice to drink.

Sonny however had a full English breakfast with Cola.

Chad grimaced as he watched Sonny ravenously devour the meal.

Trying to ignore her eating he ate his cereal.

"How do you stay so skinny?" asked Chad.

"I don't know" grinned Sonny with a ketchup moustache. Chad couldn't help but laugh, it felt good.

As Sonny continued her breakfast Chad's mind began to wander.

In his mind all he could hear was that word being repeated over and over, so close he smell his rancid breath, he could feel it on his neck.

Just that one word over and over.

Fatter.
