Mirror Of A True Life - Chapter 6

‘~~~~~*Chapter`6*~~~~~’2

Two months have now past since that incident of unremembered carvings and starving herself started. It hasn't occurred, the carvings, since that night she saw the bloody words, ''THEY WON''. She still starved herself everyday, only occasionally grabbing something small to munch on just to keep the random dizziness away. When she did, right after the food has gone through her throat, she would let it repass through her mouth except in the opposite way. Rhea Lynn's friends saw her one day after lunch in the bathroom. Although they didn't really know what she was doing, they still didn't let her live that day down. Along with her friends, there were her horrible parents. Constantly, they would pester her to eat. But she hardly ever gave into any of them. She had gone so far with her friends, Ana and Mia, which she couldn't afford to let herself slip. 3

''When do you plan on telling everyone about your stupid fxcking problems since you do have them? I mean, you don't really have anyone that cares for you besides your stupid boyfriend so then actually, you don't need to tell anyone. By the way, when are you going to even tell your boyfriend? Oh never mind, he already saw it all.'' The sound of the words flew so smoothly through the mirror to Rhea’s ears. She was so confused, she knew that her boyfriend knew about her, but she didn’t' want to tell him herself. She knew she had to eventually tell him and let him know what's going on with her. So one night, her and her boyfriend spent it together, and she let it all out. She told him about her past and present life. All that is, besides the fact she depended on Ana and Mia to “help and guide her”.4

His reaction wasn't what she planned for. Assuming that he would do the same as the many others in her life and leave, she went into the night sad at the thought that the one she truly does love wouldn't care at all. But he wasn't like the others. What she had told him just gave him more of the reason to love her and be there for her like no one else has ever had. He promised her that he'd be there for her until the end of time- forever. He was there for her for moral support and anything that she needed. He promised to never leave her side, and to ride the roller coasters of her life with her hand in his and never let go. She was surprised, excited, and so many other feelings; all that is except for happiness. 5

Her life was filled with so much emotion, just as her room is, and to busy to actually find out what true happiness was. How can she feel truly happy when her other side was the complete opposite? It’s like she, herself, was holding her back from her true potential. Like she was holding herself back from living the wonderful life she could have been living from the start. Thinking about that, she said her goodbyes and exchanged kisses with her loving boyfriend and went home. Right as she got home, she laid on the floor directly in front of the mirror that held her true identity- or at least, what she thought was her true identity until the next night when everything just seemed to unravel. 6
