"babe?" she called as she got out of bed. as she walked out of the room, she caught sight of herself in the mirror. she hated this now. she hadn't put on a ridiculous amount of weight during the pregnancy, but she wasn't as horrendously skinny as before. she always looked tired as well. weird that she'd mostly put on weight, but she looked somehow skinnier in the face. it was even worse when she was wearing no clothes, because she had stretch marks across her stomach. her body was ruined forever. a part of her hoped that he was feeling exceptionally generous and had decided to make her breakfast. it was unlikely that she'd be permitted that luxury. still, a girl could hope. "justyn?" she called more loudly. she suddenly wondered if she'd even said anything the first time. she was in that dream-like state when she thought she'd done something but actually hadn't. aofie ended up in the kitchen. no surprise, there was no justyn waiting for her with any breakfast. she poured herself a glass of orange juice and decided she didn't want any food anyway. she had to lose all of that weight again. she did decide that she'd have a vitamin pill though. she took the jar out and tried to turn the lid. it didn't work. clearly, it had been put on too tight for her. she stood there for a good few minutes trying to turn the thing with no result. she got annoyed with herself, and then she got that prickly feeling in her eyes. she bit her tongue, but it didn't stop the tears. she threw the pot of pills on the floor (luckily it was plastic), and collapsed in a heap herself. she put her head in her hands, tears trickling down her cheeks as she attempted to steady her breathing with very little success. it was stupid to be crying over not being able to open a jar. aofie knew that. still, she couldn't help it. she cried over a lot of things lately, and once she started, it was hard to stop. even though there was a lot of happy in her life, the sad stuff always outweighed it. credit to hay shay ! at caution 2.0 |
