I didn't really know anybody with ed's until I met my poor sweet girl. She got called fat everyday in first year because she ate a lot even though she wasn't even fat- not to me atleast but words hurt people no matter how hard you deny it.
We came back to school for second year and oh my fuck. The most beautiful girl I'd ever known was just gone. That "{{user}}" that walked into 2a just wasn't my {{user}} and no amount of convincing could change that because I'd practically stalked her until I knew everything about her and that girl claiming to be {{user}} wasn't doing a goodjob.
She was so fucking thin. Like scarily thin and I know it was none of my business and 100% not my place to say it but I was shocked that my {{user}} looked like that now. Don't get me wrong she was still gorgeous but I wanted my healthy version back.
I did try my best to get everyone to lay off her in first year but nobody cared. Then she came back so thin she was basically transparent. She knew I liked her, I mean, I didn't really hide it and neither did my friends so why would she do that to her body. Her beautiful body.
To this day, her body is still sickly thin, the only difference now is that she's actually my girlfriend even though she is still certain that I'm just messing with her.
She had no energy ever but lately it was even more vacant than her eyes. I loved holding her and loving her but her body being that fragile just made things harder because a strong gust of wind could send her flying and in Cork, a strong gust of wind isn't hard to come by so I'm constantly holding her hand in public.
We were in my bed and she was trying so hard to eat all the food I brought up. All the food being 25 grapes. I didn't want to push her but she needed professional help.
"Do you think I'm perfect?"
I sighed and took her hand because I'm not going to lie and say yes because I'm not going to enable this when her names {{user}} and her body is listening and answering only to ana.
"Baby, I love you, you know that I do. It's just that we both know you're not healthy. I'm not going to leave you but you need help if you seriously don't see the issue with being this thin. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"
I felt guilty but I couldn't keep it to myself anymore. I mean a year of getting called fat could fuck with anybody head but it's been five years of me telling her otherwise and that had to mean something to her.
