Concerned
Shout out to abbeythecraver For the inspiration!!! Oh I can't wait to see how this plays! Oh and this is a continual of the last chapter. If you were wondering Anniah was doing better since the loss of Faith. So if you see that her mood is a little more cheerful it's cause she is falsely showing it.
(Anniahs POV)
That night after sitting with my parents outside I got tired to I said goodnight and went to my room. I found my journal on my bed and I went and saw that someone wrote in it. Mom and dad had put a poem in it 'look at last chapter' as I read it it made me cry, I did not deserve this. They love me but yet I'm in there house cutting.
Then my phone buzzed.
Message from Unknown
Hey! Fatso! Saw you at school! I think you should lose weight so maybe boys would start talking to you again, I heard your last Boyfriend dumped you, probably cause your too fat, I don't blame him. Your a disgrace to your name and to that family. Maybe if you were skinny then maybe people would love you.
Oh and no wonder why you lost your baby, it was too embarrassed to even breath.
Signed everyone
Tears formed in my eyes as I read it, am I really that fat? And did Britt actually dump me? I thought he was on vacation, he will be back right? And God took my child, right? I went to the mirror and a then realized that I was fat. I guess if my stomach shows a little bit through my shirts so I guess I am fat. I knew that if I started to puke I would be caught fast not to mention I hate doing that so I made a plan, to slowly start to eat less and less, maybe skip a meal once a week. That should do the trick....
I fell asleep but it was not very good, too many dreams.
I woke up the next morning and I saw that dad made chocolate chip pancakes. Normally I would eat like ten but today I took 3.
"Your not eating much? Everything okay?" My dad asked.
"Just not very hungry."
"Okay, well if u need to talk."
"Thanks dad." I told him. I ate fast then I took a shower.
I'm back!
(Anniah PoV still)
Mom took me to the mall for an outfit for my school dance.
While we were at lunch I said I was not hungry.
"Are you sure? You have not eaten very much."
Mom asked.
"Ya, I'm good." I told her.
Mom ordered her food then we sat down and my mom asked me.
"Anniah, are you okay, I mean really okay? Are you cutting again, I saw that you were saying that in a poem."
"No, I'm not cutting and I'm fine."
"May I see your wrist?"
I showed her my wrist. I had put make up to hide the scars.
"I just want to let you know that you can talk to me."
"Thanks mom." I told her then we left after finding a really pretty dress.
That night I disappeared to my room after nibbling dinner, again I was asked if I was okay, this time Luke and Courtney were over. It was harder to convince them.
When I was on my phone I received more texts,
Unknown
Hey fattty,
Fatty patty, to fat to fit in the door, every one laughed so she rolled off. Better hurry fatty, or you will lose what you love...
-signed everyone
I reread the other texts some saying that the scars I had were pathetic or that being priceless is a kind way of saying that they just don't want to pay so I'm free. My wrist was cut so many times I had to go a little higher to feel it.
I took my shirt off and stood in front of my mirror and I turned sideways and I look fat but my parents say I'm skinny. (Which she is). So maybe I do need to do something a little more.
I went online and a lot involved puking after eating so that was what I would do but I would only do it once a day and I made sure it was either outside or somewhere no one could hear.
Three days later.
(Still in Anniahs pov)
It's midweek and I have slowly stopped eating. Now I barely ate 1 meal a day, I suffered headaches but they finally stopped. I started throwing up once a day and no one figured it out. Now I saw that I was finally starting to feel skinny. (Now she was nearly a stick figure)
I walked down stairs.
(Joel's PoV)
I watched Anniah bound down the stairs but something's seemed off. She seemed different. She hardly ate anything and she seemed very concerned about her appearance.
Her clothes looked a bit bigger that they use too. Like she is skinny. Now I could hardly see her stomach like I use to.
I think she is still cutting, her wrist seemed sensitive, she has short sleeves though but I think she wears makeup on her wrist.
I think it's time to call backup. But before I could I got a call.
" Hello?"
"Hey Joel. It's Mike."
"What's up mike!" I asked.
"Hey I was walking and I saw your daughter walking away from your house, I hid and watched her and no I'm not spying on her but I saw her throw up, but not cause she is sick, she forced it. How is she doing?" Mike asked.
" I don't know Mike. You may be on to something with the puking, she has not here but it may be a way she is hiding it. she seems different though Mike, I can't tell though, Mike I think she is still cutting."
"That's tough bro, what me to talk to her?"
"You can try but she is lip tight."
"Well how about I keep an eye on her, maybe you should retry talking to her, if she won't open up show her that she can come to you for help."
"Thanks Mike!"
"I have to go Joel but keep me informed."
"Sure Mike. Thanks Mate."
I hung up the phone, I noticed that Anniah was back in her room. She loves White chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips.
So I made her some and brought them to her.
I saw Anniah looking at her phone.. is she... crying. I knocked on her door then walked in.
"Anniah, I know you say your okay but I just want to let you know if you need anything Please come to me, If you don't want to then go to Moriah, or Luke, Courtney even Mike Donehey. He called. Asking about you, come to us if you need anything, I know your still grieving about loosing Faith so if you need us then let me know." I told her.
"Thanks dad! I'm okay. Faith is in a great place. So I should not be worried. I think I'm going to take a nap, do you mind?" She asked me, thought she never looked at me or motioned for a cookie.
"Sure, when you Finnish with the cookies bring the plate down okay?"
" sure dad." She told me.
I walked out then I remembered I forgot to tell her something. When I went to walk in the door was locked.
'Strange, okay so something is definitely wrong.'
So I decided to talk to Moriah.
"Hey Moriah, we need to talk about Anniah."
I told her when I came to her while she was on the couch.
"Something wrong?"
"Can't put my finger on it but ya, something is not right. Have you knotice that she hardly eats, Mike called saying that he saw her once throw up by our house, forced! I gave her cookies and she never made a motion to eat them, not even eye contact with me. I am worried Love." I told her.
" I have noticed but she won't open up, maybe she is till dealing with the loss of her child." Moriah asked.
" it could be, Moriah I think she started Cutting again."
"Remember when she was calmed up a while ago? Who were the ones who were able to help her." Moriah asked.
" I think it was Mike, Jamie and Colton.... Luke helped too."
"Call Luke, see if he will come over and talk to her, i will call Colton, Mike and Jamie and see if we can do some sort of thing to do help her, maybe someone once a day?" Moriah asked.
"Ya, I was planning on Luke."
So Moriah went to call the others and I called Luke.
"Hey Luke!" I called.
" Hey brother what's up?" Luke answered.
"I was wondering if you could come over and talk to Anniah. Something is not right, she seems like... well I think she is becoming anorexic, Luke, she won't talk, I think she is is self harming again, i... I don't know what to do about her, I'm worried Luke."
" I will be over in a few."
"Thank you Luke."
"Don't thank me Joel, I'm your brother and you need help, I'm always happy to help." Luke replied, compassion in his voice.
"See you in a few?"
"After I put the kids to bed, not to mention Courtney, she wants me to stay till she falls asleep."
"Ok, thanks I don't know what I'd do with out you brother."
"Same here."
Luke ended the call.
I went back up to Anniah but the door was still locked.
(Anniahs POV)
Dad brought my favorite cookies. I did not eat any till he left. When he left I locked the door. When my dad came in I had received another text by Unknown. It hurt so bad I went and cut then I threw up the two cookies I ate.
Luke arrived ten minutes later.
"Hey Joel." Luke said.
"Thanks you again for coming over. I'm just unsure how to reach her." I told my brother as I invited him into my house.
"Where is she?"
"In her room."
"Give is a few minutes then I will call you if she is ready." Luke asked. I nodded.
(Anniahs pOV)
I heard a knock on my door so I opened the door. I saw Luke.
"Hi Luke!" I said.
"Hey Ani, can we talk?" Luke asked.
"Sure." I said and me and Luke sat on the edge of my bed.
"Let me grab something." Luke said, got up, grabbed a washcloth and got it wet then came back.
"Rub this over your wrist." Luke asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"It helps with stress.
I rubbed it over one wrist.
"It works better with both." Luke told me.
With tears in my eyes I rubbed the makeup off and my scars showed.
"Love, why?" He asked.
"I don't know." I told himself
"I think you do."
"Okay, I'm sad about losing Faith."
"Are you sure?" Luke asked.
"Did I commit a crime?" I asked getting angry.
"No, but your parents are worried."
"They don't need to be, I'm fine." Then my phone buzzed. I looked then immediately shut of off, my face filled with pain.
"Is something wrong?" Luke asked.
"No...no every thing is fine."
"I don't think it is, may I see your phone?"
I reluctantly did. I knew I needed help but, I just could not ask.
Luke read over the messages.
He then said,
"How long?"
"A few weeks."
"Why did you not tell anyone?"
"I..I thought they would think the same thing, Luke, WHY did God take my baby? Is it cause I'm Ugly? Is it cause I'm fat? It is because Priceless just means that I am free? Is it all a lie? Why did God do this! Luke why!!!" I screamed then suddenly I am punching Luke, I squared one to the eye then he took my hands to his chest. I hit him probably 8 times before Luke took his arms and wrapped them around me, I became weak, all my energy drained, I fell onto his chest and sobbed, I heard him start,
" All of the dreams that haven't come true
And all of the hurt that happened to you
It matters, I hope you know it matters
You felt the pain of a bitter defeat
Where the weight of the grief is more bitter than sweet
It matters, I'm telling you it matters
To the one who spoke and set the sun ablaze
To the one who stopped the storm and walked the waves
To the one who took the tree so He could say
You matter, I hope you know you matter
I know it's not easy, not saying it's fair
But close as a prayer somebody cares
You're a treasure, I hope you know you're treasured
So hold your head high, wait for the dawn
Keep hanging on, your sadness will turn into laughter
Watch it turn into laughter, yeah
You matter, heaven knows you matter
Let the water spill from your eyes
Let it wash the wounds of those lies
Oh, let the water spill from your eyes
All that you are, all that you'll be
Someone put the beat in your heart so that you'll see
You matter
You matter, heaven knows you matter
You matter, I hope you know you matter
You matter, heaven knows you matter,
Then he sang another song, this time by Skillet
" You come to me with
Scars on your wrist.
You tell me this will be the last night
Feeling like this.
I just came to say good bye
Didn't want you to see me cry
I'm fine
But I know it's a lie
This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be
The last night
You'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms
And I won't let go
I'm everything
You need me to be
Your parents say
Everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
"Its just a phase you'll be ok
You're fine"
But I know it's a lie
This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be
(The last night
Away from me)
The night is so long when
Everything's wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on
Tonight
Tonight
This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be
I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night
Away from me
Away from me."

In case you don't know the song ⬆️
" There is one more that I think you should hear but I will let him sing it."
Luke told me.
"Anniah. Your not alone in this fight. Your parents are here, Luke and his. Mike and his and mine too if you need, but don't try and fight this alone. This song relates to Priceless it's called' fools Gold'" Colton Dixon entered with his guitar, Luke was on one side then I saw that my dad was on the other side of me.
" Do you think everything that meets the eye
Is exactly how it seems or a clever disguise
A remedy for apologies to make it right
For clarity to see the means through our eyes
Look to the skies
And you will see it
Tune out the lies
Don't let the people say
There's a higher price to pay
For a smile on your face
It's not a game of give or take
Don't bend and you won't break
There is another way
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold
There's positively definitely gotta be more
Than a life filled with greed behind locked doors
Cause even our most coveted treasures
Are really only temporary pleasures
Look to the skies
And you will see it
Tune out the lies
Don't let the people say
There's a higher price to pay
For a smile on your face
It's not a game of give or take
Don't bend and you won't break
There is another way
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold
Don't fall for fool's gold
Misconceptions
False impressions
Smoke and mirrors
Of self-deceptions
Don't let the people say
There's a higher price to pay
For a smile on your face
It's not a game of give or take
Don't bend and you won't break
There is another way
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold.
Anniah, your Priceless and that is no cover, Nothing could buy you, not all the money in the world, not all the Pearls in the sea, not all of the jewels around the world, nothing compares to you!
Right now your falling for lies. I want you to see who you really are, Priceless, loved, Matter, and nothing can change that, who ever is texting this to you is mean and don't understand Respect and Honor." Colton started then Joel jumped in.
"Love, I hate seeing the scars on your wrist, I hate to see you starving your self, what hurts the most is that you would not come to me." Joel said, he had a few tears falling, so did Luke and unfortunately his eye was slightly swollen.
"I'm sorry, I just lost it when the text started, I truly thought that I was fat and that I would get skinner but in reality I'm not doing good, I'm dizzy and have headaches. I can't eat without feeling like I'm going to puke. Luke sorry I punched you, hope you forgive me." I asked.
"Darling, I forgave you the moment it happened."
Okay this is so long I'm going to end it here and continue it tomorrow! Let me know what you like!!!! PLEASE! Tell me your favorite part!!!!
I really want to know!!
