yes! More More!!
The next day started really early. I woke up at around six, I swear to God my whole body was messed up. I have never woken so early in my life. Maybe it was just being in a hospital.
The doctor came in with a tray of food. On it he had a bagel, orange juice, toast and some eggs. He wanted me to try and drink most of my juice or most of the toast. He left me alone for a while and I looked at the food. I couldn’t. I looked at the food and all I could see was the fat that dwelled inside of it. But I had promise Jeremy I would try. I took a bite of the toast, because it looked least fatty. It was good, I hadn’t tasted food in so long. I took a sip of the juice and decided I was done for the day. I pushed the table away from my bed and wished Jeremy was here.
As if he heard my thoughts, he was at the hospital about an hour later.
“How’s it going? I see you nibbled some toast.” He said, in a half laugh, half smile kind of voice.
“I tried.” I said. I wasn’t at all upset with myself, it was probably the most food I had eaten in weeks.
“How long until they let you leave?” he asked me.
“I get to leave in a day or two, if I’m up and moving around. I’m mobile.” I said, laughing.
“That’s great to hear. Do they allow visitors at the rehabilitation center?” he asked. “I was planning on visiting like everyday, you know.” He said. He smiled at me.
“I don’t even know how long I will be there.” I said, doubtfully. I would most likely be there until I decided to eat right again, which could be a long time. It was a hard road ahead of me. I didn’t know if I could do it.
“I won’t be able to do it, Jeremy, I know I won’t.”
“Yes you can, Kersey. If you keep telling yourself you can’t, you won’t.” he said, putting his hand on mine. “I have faith in you, kid.” He said to me.
I got up and sat at the couch by the window. I wanted to go outside so bad. My favorite season was fall, and it was disappearing before my eyes.
“Let’s go outside, Jeremy. Please?” I begged him. As long as I had someone with me, I would be fine.
“I don’t think you should, Kersey. We might get in trouble.” He said, finally coming to sit by me.
“I’m in for a risk. I’ve been locked up for almost two weeks. I need to get out.” I said. I went and I pulled the wheelchair out of the closet.
“At least take me in the wheelchair, please?” I asked again, putting on the puppy dog face. I sat in the wheelchair, ready to go.
“They will think I’m stealing you!” he said laughing. I knew he wanted to make me happy so he decided we would go outside. He grabbed three of my blankets and covered me up in them.
“If you’re going to make me take you outside, I’ve got to make sure you’re warm.” He said, laughing.
He pushed me slowly to the elevator, making sure we weren’t seen. We snuck inside, only to be joined by my nurse on the second floor.
“And where do you think you’re going?’’ she asked me sternly.
“Outside. Just for a while.” I said, ignoring anything she said to me after that.
We got outside and there was a slight October chill in the air. It made me so happy to be outside. I wrapped up in my blankets and looked at all the trees, my favorite part.
Wow, so far so good. Very well written. It's like they say, "I just couldn't put the book down." Can't wait to read more, so please keep it coming. The suspense is killing me here.
It was so special to me, it was like a romantic first date; him and I sitting outside the hospital watching the leaves turn. I loved every moment.
When we went back inside, I was exhausted. We had laughed and talked for what seemed like forever, and I was really tired. I decided to take a nap.
“I’ll be back later, kiddo.” He said quietly, after I had gotten back in bed. He brushed the hair out of my eyes and kissed my forehead. “Eat if you get the chance.” He then said to me, smiling. He winked at me and left. I finally drifted off and awoke a few hours later to the doctor coming in.
“She can leave tomorrow, if she’s feeling up to it. She needs to attend the rehabilitation center for a few weeks to get back on track. Sound alright?” he asked my parents.
“I guess. I really wish all of this never would have happened.” My mom said, frowning. She was disappointed in me. Little did she know, that same disappointment is probably what made me do this.
I left the next day. They allowed me a day to grab my things from home and pack my clothes. I called Jeremy before I left.
“Hey. I’m leaving soon, just thought I would call and let you know.” I said, wishing he could come stay with me.
“Well, I will come over later then, hopefully they will let me.” He said. He was so funny, so anxious to be with me every second of the day.
Last update of the night guys, I gotta go. Hope this will keep you satisfied till tomorrow afternoon... ;)
“Come around 6 then. I should be settled.” I said. We said our farewells, and I was on my way.
The car ride took about 30 minutes. I got tired easily now that I was home and off a lot of my medications. I took a short catnap on the way there and when I awoke, we had just pulled in. I started getting butterflies in my stomach. I was really nervous.
We walked in and I was greeted by what looked like every patient in the entire building. It must have been tradition to welcome the newcomer. I felt so out of place.
I also noticed there were three or four guys there too. I remembered there were no men at my old rehabilitation center.
i can't wiat to hear more!!! it's really good. it should be published.
but umm.. i sorta have one teeny tiny suggestion..well not really just something i noticed. where you wrote: I gasped and put my hand over my mouth.
i just thought the put my hand over my mouth sounded strange. i really wouldn't know.... it's just something i was htinking about.
i love your story!!:D
I dont know if I can wait until tomarrow afternoon! Your torturing us here!lol
hurry with some more!:D
There was about 20 or so people there. My parents hugged me and left, and the nurse, whose name was Julie, led us into the main room of the center. It was like a huge livingroom, with TV's and everything. They told everyone to sit in a circle, except me. I had to introduce myself.
"My name is Kersey, and..." I began. I didn't know what to say.
"What are you here for? We like our problems to be out in the open so we can help each other." Julie said.
"Do I really have to say? I'm anorexic. That's what the doctors said anyway. I started because my friend Olivia died of bulemia." I said. I also pulled up my sleeves, showing off my beautiful purple scars. Some people looked scared, some disgusted, some looked like they could relate. One of the other guys casually rubbed his forearms.
"Thanks for sharing, Kersey. You may sit." Julie told me. I sat next to a girl. She smiled and shook my hand as I sat down.
"My name is Elizabeth. They call me Eliza here." she said. Julie then told everyone they had to go around and say their names and what they were here for so I could get to know everyone. This was beginning to get lame.
There was Eliza, anorexic. She was becoming my new friend fast. Antonio, a guy who was bulimic, and his friend Graham who cut, the one I saw before. Drew, who was anorexic, Raphaella, who was anorexic and cut and Jessica who was an anorexic also. Everyone finished up and Eliza showed me my room. Graham kept looking at me as we got up and everyone went to do their own thing.
"We share a room, room 269." she said as she led me inside. Inside was two beds, two small windows and a desk.
"Cool." I said sarcastically, dropping my bag on the bed.
"Don't be so enthusiastic, Kersey." Eliza said laughing. I could tell we would be just fine.
The beggining was kinda gross, but I find myself coming back to read the rest of the story. You have a lot of talent, and keep writing!
After dinner mostly everyone went to the rec area. Eliza and I plopped on the couch and watched Remember the Titans that was playing on TV. It was one of my favorite movies. Graham came in a sat in the loveseat closer to the TV. I caught him looking at me a few more times. What was his problem? Did I have broccolli in my teeth?
After the movie ended, people began going to pool tables, foos-ball tables, and ping pong tables. " Wanna play?" Graham asked me, pointing to the foos-ball table. I hadn't played in so long so I agreed. I was up to a challenge.
"So you cut?" I asked. It seemed like an ackward question now that it came out of my mouth.
"I do, yeah." he said, scoring a goal. It was silent for a few minutes after.
"I was just wondering, if you'd like to be friends. We are some of the only people that cut here, maybe we could get through it together." he said, stopping the game and looking up at me. I didn't know what to say, I wanted to, but I had Jeremy coming later. I didn't want him to think I was cheating on him... if we were even going out.
"That would be really cool." I said, but soon realized what I had just said. He smiled at me and we kept playing.
i love remember the titans!!!it's a great movie! i love your story!!! keep it comin
Graham walked me to my room that night, after a long talk in the rec room. Everyone had left before we even got started talking. We talked about what was going on in our lives that made us cut, I told him about Olivia, he told me about Arissa, his girlfriend, who died of anorexia. We had so much in common, it was almost scary.
When we got to my room, he looked at me with a twinkle in his eye. He had told me before he had never really met anyone after he lost Arissa, I was the first girl he had had enough guts to talk to. I admit it, it made me feel good.
He took his hands in mine and wished me a good night. He winked at me as he turned around and walked to his room, a few feet down the hall. I watched him go into his room and wave to me as he shut the door. I couldn't believe I was doing this.
Jeremy came the next day and told me he didn't come last night because he had extra homework and his mom wouldn't let him leave late. I told him it was just fine. I didn't want him to see me with Graham anyway.
He sat in my room with me and Eliza, talking about stuff from school. He told me we were the talk of the school, and rumors were flying that we were "an item". I guess we were going out, in a way, even though we never really asked each other.
He sat on my bed and held my bony hands. Eliza just watched us with this smile on her face, she was happy I was happy.
I showed Jeremy around, and we sat in the rec room. Everyone was watching us, like we were going to spontaniously start making out or something.
Graham came in about 20 minutes later, and he sat in the same loveseat as before.
"Jeremy, this is my friend Graham." I said. Graham waved and smiled nervously, like he was uncomfortable having Jeremy around. Jeremy also waved, obivously feeling jealous I had another guy friend.
Graham left when he had to go take his medication and go to his doctor appointment. Jeremy mentioned Graham.
"What about him?" I asked.
"Does he, like you, like you??" he asked. That was so third grade.
"Jeremy, we're friends, like you and I." I soon realized that wasn't what he wanted to hear. "But we are closer, right?" I said uneasily.
"I guess." Jeremy said, looking away. I had made him mad.
He ended up leaving later at about the time Graham came back.
"Is he mad? Maybe I shouldn't have come and sit by you.'' Graham said.
"He's just a little jealous, don't worry Graham." I said, smiling to reassure him. Graham and I played another game of foos-ball, and this time I finally won.
"Wanna go for a walk?" he asked. He loved going on walks. He told me that last night.
"Sure. Let me go grab my jacket."
We walked outside together and it was the time of the year where the leaves showed no more green. I told Graham I loved fall, he said he did too.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
We had a lot in common, it was neat. We went back in after walking around the perimeter a few times. I rubbed my hands together to warm then up. It was a little chilly out, I should have grabbed some mittens. Then Graham reached over and grabbed my hands.
"To warm them up." he said, smiling at me. We held hands all the way to the rec room and decided to part before everyone saw. He winked at me and waved as we went our seperate ways. I could tell my face was red. But I loved it.
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
OMG! poor jeremy!
Uh oh...:eek: What about Jeremy!
Jeremey?? what about him? Its getten good!!:p
I guess it was because I had never really felt that certain sign of affection. Jeremy hugged me, but it just felt different when Graham did it. I told Eliza all about it that night.
"But Kersey! You have Jeremy!" she shrieked, but she was excited for me.
"I know, but I don't think we are technically going out." I said. Maybe we were, I just needed an excuse.
As always, Jeremy came over the next day and I couldn't help but feel bad about what I had done. We stayed in my room for most of the time, Eliza politely let me have it for the hour or two he would be here. He kissed my cheek, and I felt my face turn red. I felt really bad.
We heard a knock on the door. My heart skipped a beat.
"I'll get it." I said, jumping up to prevent him from answering it. I knew it was Graham. He came and the same time everyday.
I opened the door and there he stood, in his jacket. It was time for our walk.
"I can't right now, Graham." I whispered. "Jeremy's here." I said. Graham looked shattered. He didn't even say anything, he just took off his gloves and walked away.
I went back over to Jeremy.
"Who was it?" He asked. I felt it was time to tell him the truth.
"Graham." I said casually.
"What did he want?" he asked, saying ''he'' like it was a dirty word.
"It was time for our walk. We take walks together in the afternoon." I said. Jeremy then told me he had to go and left with a harsh "Goodbye," and left my room.
This is getting exciting!
MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE!
YEAH!! :D :D :DQuote:

I sat on my bed. I was torn between Graham and Jeremy. I layed in bed for almost an hour when I heard another knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I asked, not moving.
"Eliza. Can I come in?" she asked.
"It's your room too, Liza." I said, smiling into my pillow.
She came in and sat next to me. "I saw Jeremy leave. He looked angry. Is everything okay?" she asked. The truth was, he was acting more like Chad everytime I saw him.
"I guess. I'm fine." I said, rolling over to face her. "It's just that I can't even have guy friends now that we're together." I said.
"He'll get over it. If he doesn't, he isn't for you." She said. She shrugged and left.
I closed my eyes. I hadn't eaten for a while, and I thought it was time to eat. I got up and stretched and put on my slippers. My feet were really cold. I heard another knock on the door.
"Eliza?" I asked, puzzled.
"No, it's me." the voice said. It was Graham.
"Come in." I said, nervously. He came in, now without his jacket and gloves. He sat next to me on my bed.
"Sorry I couldn't come with you." I said. I realized I was fidgeting with my hands. I only did that when I was really nervous.
"It's alright. I should have known." he said. He looked up at the ceiling then down to me. "Eliza told me Jeremy looked angry when he left, is everything okay?" he asked. He was concerned. I loved that.
"I guess. He just acts more and more like Chad everyday." I said, shaking my head.
"Chad?" he asked.
"Chad is my ex-boyfriend. He raped me about four or five months ago." I said. I really didn't want to talk about it.
"Oh wow, Kersey, I'm sorry." he said.
"Yeah, let's not talk about it." I said. "I'm a little hungry, wanna go eat?" I asked him.
"Yeah, one sec." he said. I wondered what he was going to do. I stood up and stretched again, waiting for whatever he needed to do. He stood up and...
I'll make you wait. :D
WHAT WHAT WHAT????????? TELLLL!!!! :p :p :p :p
Oh, you want me to tell? *yawns*
*looks at the story highlighted in another window... should I? NAH!*
BUT BUT BUT! i liked jeremy! :( bye bye jeremy..
"Yeah, one sec." he said. I wondered what he was going to do. I stood up and stretched again, waiting for whatever he needed to do. He stood up and grabbed my hands again. He looked into my eyes and I saw for the first time his beautiful amber brown eyes. Before I knew it, our lips had locked.
We stopped and I looked at him. I couldn't help but smile.
"Thanks." I said. We held hands all the way to the kitchen. I had a grin plastered on my face the whole time.
my name was mentioned..Quote:
