She sat among her cousins talking and gossiping. They were having a sleepover. She was feeling very zoned out. She was trying to have a fun time but she just couldn't. All she kept thinking was how all of them were so skinny and beautiful and then there was her. She also wanted to be skinny like them. No matter how hard she tried, she just didn't succeed.

            Whether it'd be skipping meals or throwing up every single meal she ate. Nothing worked and now she was fed up all the backhanded comments and the disgusting looks people gave, especially her relatives. The worst thing was that it wasn't just her weight. It was everything about her! Her grades, her habits, her looks, her personality. Her cousins were better than her in everything.

          Sitting amidst all her cousins laughing and having fun she had never been so alone. She could not share her thoughts with them, not even the one she was closest to. What would they think of her? As they all lied down to sleep she could feel the suffocation in her chest, slowly crawling up to swallow her. Tears stung at the back of her eyes as her throat got all clogged up. She abruptly got up and went in the bathroom. She missed her home so terribly right now. She took deep breathes to calm herself.

            After some time she was feeling a bit better. She got out of the bathroom picked up her mobile and headphones and sat in a corner. She put music on and rested her head on the wall, closing her eyes. She desperately needed a hug. She opened her eyes as she felt someone moving around the room. It was her seven year old cousin, Albie. He had insisted on staying with them. She looked at Albie, who looked confused and sleepy looking here and there. Her eyes were begging and her heart was screaming. She felt like a child crying for their mother. The only difference was that she was crying on the inside.

         She closed her eyes again when she felt someone beside her. It was Albie, he hugged her and nuzzled his face in her neck. Just like that he fell asleep. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder, rested her head on top of his head and fell asleep too.
