"fat"
"pig"
"go eat a salad"
"go on a diet"
"chubby cow"
"she wonders why she's never got a boyfriend, look at the state of that"
this was what betty cooper heard on a daily basis, all the time, every single day, it had gotten to the point where she begged her mother to let her homeschool but it was no use, poor old alice cooper had no idea what her darling little girl was going through
"mom! please let me stay home" betty bounded downstairs in a loud manner with a baggier pair of jeans on and a loose fitting shirt
"betty please stop thumping down the stairs, your getting to big to do that, you'll break the stairs" her mother whined, not realising what she had just said
"oh, sorry" she whispered now very gently walking down the stairs with a few tears falling down her cheeks
"ugh, if your crying about just stay home, don't eat all the food and i'll see you later honey" alice said, not noticing how her hurtful comment had affected her struggling daughter
"got it, don't eat the food" she nodded, mumbling to herself not to eat today
she's climbed back upstairs and pulled her shirt up in front of her full length mirror, she was absolutely disgusted by what she saw, so much so that she crammed her feet into her running shoes and pushed in her headphones and started her jog around the back of town.
5 miles down she was hurting, her stomach was growling and begging for food
10 miles down she was hunched over and gasping for air, clawing at her lungs to get some
15 miles down she gave up and crouched down on a local park bench leaning back and trying to regain her breath and sanity
she paused for a moment, really thinking hard if doing all of this to herself was worth it, she decided it was and let her mind take over
"you really are a pig"
"look at the state of you, it's gross"
"you are an ugly cow"
she dropped her head and started to cry, not caring if the passing strangers saw her, until it was a group of boys from school although she didn't recognise one of them, he had a small knitted, grey beanie perched on his head, keeping his wild curls down, of course he was accompanied by the riverdale bulldogs, betty's main source of low self esteem
"look who it is, fatty cooper" one poked
"glad your going on a run, you need to lose some weight" another laughed, betty just picked her head up and saw the boy look at her with sorrow and sympathy in his eyes, he smiled softly at her and the boys moved on, laughing and chuckling at her but she never saw the boy once laugh at their jokes, or join in with them, nor did he defend her, he was just merely sorry for her
the moment she burst in the door, she cried, she fell to the floor and sobbed her heart out, the truth was, betty wasn't fat no no, betty was a skinny as you can get, to put it plain and simple she had anorexia, it all started at nine years old when her sister polly, shouted that she "should lose some weight" and "be skinny like me, you'll get all the boys then" her mother nor her father told polly of for that, looking back on it now she knew they were silently agreeing with her and from then on betty had kept track of everything, her food, the calories, her workouts, everything all in her little pink diary shoved under mattress for safe keeping and away from her mother's prying eyes.
