Title: Little by little
by Jess from Wales | in writing, fiction
I watched him growing thinner, and I knew I could do nothing.
He pushed me away yet I felt so close it frightened me. I tried to reach out and all I got was cold skinned hugs and empty smiles.
And then one day I told him, let out my bottled fury and screamed until my head pounded, told him what he was doing to himself, told him what I knew and all I wanted him to know.
And now he's a little better, he forces food down and manages to keep a lot of it in. But I'm still so scared, so terrified of what I have seen in him.
My friend, who's close to anorexia, and frightens me everytime I see her sit with us at lunch, not eating, just watching.
