I hate my life!!!!!!!!!

I hate everything!!!!!!!!

...

Lily's just come into my room with some tissue. She must've heard me crying. 

Now she's crying.

Why do bad things always happen to me?

Don't cry, Lil.

Its alright.

Everything's alright.

Wish I could believe that.

I hope that sick bed of yours is a death bed. I know what you're trying to do. You may be able to get the sympathy vote from Jack but you're not fooling me. 

You're going to pay for this.


(Jack)

Jess has been all over me today. I kinda like it.

...

I wonder whats up with Liv...

Weight: 7 stone 10

Calories: 0

Things eaten: Not hungry. Anything I'll eat I'll chuck back up.

Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat Fat

Ugly Ugly Ugly Ugly Ugly Ugly Ugly Ugly

Unwanted and alone. That's how I am to spend my life now. Practically mothering my little sister. Cooking her tea of spaghetti. Throwing up every five minutes.

I have been abandoned by every force possible. My teachers have dumped me in the lower sets. My dad left for afghanistan. My mum won't stop going clubbing and my sister is scared to be around me.

Not going back to school for a while. I suppose that's best.

Except daytime TV has really gone downhill since I was 6.

(Jack)

Apparently Jess is busy tonight. Great. What fun tonight's going to be. Just me with my PS3.

Who am I kidding this is great!

Except noone to play against. 

Oh well, I can beat my high score on Black Ops.

What's my high score? hmmm.... I have to beat round 22.

Wait a second, I've never got to round 22 before!

So who did?

OMG.

Liv?

No way.

Still fat. Still ugly. Not feeling too good but must power through.

Called on jack today.

What? Its been like 10 days.

Well, we played footie in the park like we used to before we went out. It was fun. 

I kicked his ass at it.

Brought Lily with me. She played on the swings and every time I scored a goal she ran up to me and hugged me. 

She whispered in my ear, "Livvy better now?"
I whispered back, "yeah. Livvy a lot better now."
"Lily happy 'cos Livvy happy."
"Thanks, lil"
"Lily go play on swings now"

I nearly cried.

Thanks for playing footie with me. You always were a good mate. It's nice to see you smiling again.

I hope you're feeling well enough to come back to school. I miss having a critique in art. lol

SHUT UP!!!!

If you tell anyone about what happened last night I swear to god I will kill you.

If Jack finds out I'm dead and his  ex will have him back.

TELL NO-ONE!!!!


(Jack)

Saw Liv today.

It was great, we played footie and her little sister was being all snuggly with her. I love the word snuggly. Plays on your tongue.

Anyway it was all going great until she threw up in the bushes. I would've held her hair back or something but she told me to bugger off.

So I went back to the swings. 

Her bag was open.

I know I shouldn't have but I looked inside.

Weight loss leaflets.

She's not even fat!!!!!

12th March

Weight: 7 stone 9 and a quarter

Calories: 0

Things eaten: Wasn't hungry

Off to the doctors. Apparently I've not caught a bug but something else is wrong with me.

I have to go back every saturday from now on. Apparently they may have to run tests one me. 

I'm not a guinea pig, you know!

Mum was all like, 'she's barely eating!'

and I was just thinking, 'not hungry, biatch! get used to it.'

So now I have to sit at the table with the family to eat.

What joy.

I need your help Aimee.

It's liv. We played footie the other day. She kept throwing up and I looked in her bag and she has loads of weight loss stuff in it.

I'm worried about her.

RE: Liv

are you serious?

Olivia isn't even fat.

why would she do this?

why would she want to lose weight?

What to do, what to do?????

13th March

(Olivia)

Weight: 7 stone 11 and a quarter

Calories: 1348

Things eaten: Ham and cheese toastie, Lemon chicken.

Practically force fed today. Put on 2 lbs! feel fatter than ever.

I hate my family.

We had chinese for tea. Except chinese no longer fills me with the same contempt as it used to. The flavours all seem dilusional and everything tastes like sick. I'm used to being sick now. It has come as part of my life now.

1060 calories for a tub of lemon chicken???? Mum practically shoved it down my throat. I told her I was still full from lunch but oh, no. She had to go and force me to eat.

I hate her so much.

Decided to make myself sick this time. Everyone had gone to bed so I snuck into the bathroom and stuck my fingers down my throat. Its a new low for me but if it's the only way to get skinny and get jack back then it's what I shall do.

Weight: 7 stone 11

Calories: 465

Things eaten: 3 slices of hawaiin pizza

Back to school today. 

Some girl behind me kept calling me a fat cow.

It wasn't jess. She's not in my RE class.

I bet you it was that Bethany girl, she's been looking at me funny lately.

I swear Aimee said, 'go on, do it. It'll make you skinny. be sick. the girls toilets are only down the hall.'

Funny, I couldn't see her mouth moving and she totally pulled a shocked face when I left.

just goes to show what a bad influence this school is on her.

RE: WTF???

She sent me a note before she left. 

'you don't have to tell me twice. I'm going'

I didn't even tell her anything.

No-one was even talking to her!!!!!

She's seriously messed up, though.


(Jack)

Liv is back to school. Still looks pale and still looks thin. 

Jess isn't avoiding me though!

she's been snogging me non-stop all day.

probably to make someone jealous but hey, who am I to argue????

Mum's watching telly in the next room. I can hear it through the wall. Just adverts.

'Do it like the romans did!'

'when you've finished eating, just be sick and be skinny!'

'guaranteed results'

strange. Never heard an advert like that before.

...

being sick really makes your throat hurt.

To all the people worried about Liv (or at least i hope you are),

I have some information for you. Olivia Dean went to the doctors a few days ago, which is understandable because she has been being sick lately. 

BUT...

there's more...

They want her to go back. It could be because she has something wrong with her
