It was a Wednesday and in four days, It would be September. Summer will be over and The two lovebirds will be heading back to High school. Nothing was official for Gabriella as she left early for Summer break due to her builmia and anorexia issues but Troy had it all planned out, He was going to finish His last year at coleman high school, hoping to get a scholarship and head to university to study Law and Chemistry after he finished High school. Gabriella knew he had a great future ahead of him but when It came to herself, she wasn't so sure. She had a few options of what she wanted to do in her head but her eating disorder has always held her back from doing the things she loves and enjoys.
I stepped on the scales for the first time that week, I could feel myself shaking and panicing inside, my throat was dry, I felt so fragile and weak. I gently breathed out and slowly looked down at the number.
I was 5 stone 4 which in my mind was classed as being fat. I was fat, ugly and worthless.
I sat on the toilet and buried my head in my hands, I could feel myself tear up slightly as I groaned in disappointment, ''Not fucking good enough.'' I mumbled to myself as grabbed a razor and dragged it down my arm. I bit down on my bottom lip as a way to cope with the pain. Thinking about my body and how disguisting I looked made me feel sick. I sighed and pulled myself together.
I headed downstaires and made my way into the kitchen, raiding the fridge for a snack. My only snack for the day. I grabbed a low-fat yoagurt and peeled the lid off only too drop it on the floor as I felt two arms wrap around my waist from behind. I escaped the grip of the person's arms and turned around.
''Oh shit, I'm sorry babygirl.'' Troy apologized, grabbing the mop by the door and cleaning up the spilt yoguart.
''Hey, you don't have to do that..'' I replied, quietly.
''Babe, don't worry about it. It's fine.'' He carried on cleaning the yoguart up, and headed to the fridge, grabbing another yoguart, a spoon and handed it to Gabriella.
I smiled slightly, I hated being around people when I felt like this. Insecure, fragile, over-the-edge. I especially hated being around Troy. The last thing I want is to have my mood completely effect his and take out my anger on him. I peeled off the lid, scooped up a spoonful of the yoguart and ate it. As I continued to do this, I felt Troy's eyes on my body. I started to feel a little uncomfortable and awkward. I finally finished the yoguart and shoved it into the bin.
''Cute sweatshirt.'' Troy chuckled, playfully winking at Gabriella.
''Oh, this old thing? It's actually my ex-boyfriend's. He gave it to me back when we were dating and since it's quite comfy, I thought it'd be perfect to wear in bed.'' I shrugged.
''I think you'd look look alot cuter wearing one of mine though.'' Troy chuckled and smirked at Gabriella whilst he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her gently.
''Oh yeah, I bet you would.'' I playfully rolled my eyes.
''Hey, do you wanna come round to mine tonight? I invited a bunch of friends, and since it's Halloween, I thought it'd be a cool idea to watch some scary movies, get dressed up, play some games. That could of stuff.'' Troy grinned.
''Um, I don't know.. Who's gonna be there?''
''Just Trevor, Aiden, Harry, Chris, Nick Amy, Lexie, Emilia, Rosie and A few others. Come on, please baby. What's the worst that could happen?''
I half-heartdly smiled. ''I see your point.. I suppose so.''
''Is that a yes?'' Troy held back a huge grin from appearing on his face.
''Yes, I'll come.'' I giggled.
''I knew you would, it's kind of hard to resist adorable charming ways huh?'' Troy chuckled. ''Thankyou babygirl, you're amazing.'' He kissed her gently. ''I'll see you later, yeah? Come to mine around 7pm.''
I shoke my head. ''Yep. Bye babe.'' I smiled and watched Troy leave.
After spending the majority of the day being wrapped in a blanket, reading books and watching television. It was soon 6pm and time to get ready for Troy's get together at his house. I headed upstaires to the closet in my room, opened it and pulled out a pretty white dress, black jeans and a pair of comfy beige wedges. I got changed into the clothes and started on my makeup. It was soon half six and after spending twenty minutes on my makeup, despite not being satisfied. I was finally done. I scrunched up my hair with my fingers and made it to leave messy simple cute waves hanging down my back.
I arrived at Troy's house, I knocked on the door. I could feel myself shaking and toke a deep breath.
Miles opened the door. ''Hey beautiful.'' He hugged Gabriella. ''You're early.''
''Would you rather me be late?'' I smiled and stepped into his house.
''Alright alright, quit being smart with me.'' He chuckled and shut the door.
''Um, I know this is last minute and everything but could i possibly stay the night? It's just It's so lonely at my house and it'd be nice to have some other company besides my dog.'' I giggled.
Troy smiled. ''Ah babe, I want you to but there's a problem..''
''Oh, what's that?'' I looked at him.
''I don't have a couch yet, I only have these bean bags.'' Troy picked one up and showed Gabriella.
''Oh, Um..'' I bit my bottom lip.
''Which means the only option you have is to share my kingsize bed with me. It's up too you.''
I blushed. ''I don't mind.''
''Okay babe, have you not brought any spare clothes with you?'' Troy asked, looking confused.
''I'm sure you wouldn't mind lending me a sweatshirt or something to wear in bed.'' I giggled.
''Thanks for reminding me about that.'' He chuckled and wrapped his arms around Gabriella's waist, leaning in for a soft and passionate kiss.
The door bell rang twice, Troy ignored it and carried on kissing Gabriella, he couldn't nor did he want to pull himself away. He kept his arms wrapped around Gabriella's small waist, he lifted her up in his arms as she slid her tongue in his mouth and kept her legs wrapped around his waist. She pulled away and ran her fingers through his hair, giggling. ''We can do this later babe. Go see whose at the door.'' She unwrapped her legs and jumped out of his arms.
Troy walked to the door and opened it, high fiving the lads as they walked past him and into the house.
