Emmet left the ECA with his card
Key and I strained myself like a flower would towards the natural light before
it was blocked out again by the heavy door. I had the urge to get up and throw
myself with every bit of my might into that door. I wanted to scream at the top
of my voice to be let out! I wanted a key card and freedom and the rights back
to my body and life back again.
I looped my thumb and little
finger around my good wrist feeling for the bones, measuring how easily they
still touched. This used to calm me when I was losing width from around them
but now it was different, I had put on a fingertip at least in lard. I breathed
in looking for the bones in my ribcage, while feeling for the sharp edge of my
collar bone. It wasn’t really that sharp anymore and my ribs weren’t so visible.
Even the space between my hip bones was starting to be filled in. My jeans
almost had a fat layer to sit against.
I once again started not to care
weather Emmet came back at all; so many pounds of this fat that I lugged around
probably belonged to him. I loved him at the same time as hating him and the
same went for Esmee. I felt like bouncing my body off of the walls again until
it was broken into tiny pieces. Now there was more of me the feelings seemed
bigger too and they were truly chocking.
“It’s not fair!” I shrieked the
sound the burst from my moth confusing me; I hadn’t meant to make my anger
vocal but apparently I felt too much grief over the loss of my pointed bones to
remain quiet.
“I know, it’s not, nothing ever
really feels like it is when you are in the position that you are now,” Esmee
moaned. It sounded like she felt the same sort of ach that was somewhere inside
me but could sit on top of it, she had control over her body. She controlled
her feelings and what they made her do even if the feeling was killing her like
it was me. I could not control the explosion they were causing even though I
was desperate to. I was on my feet, crashing my body against the foam walls
trying to get everything to disappear just for a little while, just so I could
breathe without the elastic around my lungs.
I screamed and I sobbed and
wailed as my body bounced off of the foam without harm. I could see Esmee out
the side of my distorted vision too. She looked pale and in pain but calm. Her
face grimaced as I bounced my body from the walls but she did not go to
intervene. The truth was I wanted her to. I wanted her to stop me, for
something to stop me.
“It won’t help.” Esmee moaned after a while. “You will calm
down eventually, or faint, either one, but it will have nothing to do with you
bouncing you self like a ping pong ball from the walls. Your feelings are
intense and yes they are very real but your body won’t let this intenseness go
on for long, the brain can’t handle it and it will protect its self.
“It’s not fair!” I shouted again
already feeling my head begin to spin. I clung to the wall this time instead of
bouncing back off of it noticing how my chest rose and fell with my heavy
breathing. Fainting would have been nice if it could stop it. My head span more
as if to agree, my eyes spinning in the back of my head
“Ok, sweet, let’s get you down
before you fall down,” Esmee said as she walked over to me. With the touch of
her hand my head span out and my body fell.
