Me and Aaron went to the nearest mini mart. It was about 5:30 Pm. We walked in and he dragged me straight to the candy isle. He immeadiately picked up 3 packs of gummy bears! I just laughed and I got a little bag of Swedish Fish. He just looked at me like I'm crazy.

"Is that all you're gonna get?" He asked

"Yeah." I said

"You know I can afford way more than a 99 cent bag of Swedish Fish right? Get something else if you want." He said

"No really. I'm trying not to eat a lot." I said. I have had anorexia before and I am still trying to recover from it.

"You can't be serious." He said

"What?" I asked

"You're worried about gaining too much weight?" He asked. I nodded.

"Okay. Look." He walked towards me and put his gummy bears down and put both of his hands on  each of my shoulders and looked down at me. "You are not overweight, underweight, any of that. You're not ugly or a slut. You're perfect. Okay?" He said. Wow.

"Okay." I said quietly

"Get something else. It's okay. I'm pretty sure you'll stay the same way you are now." He smiled

I picked up a bag of gummy worms and my Swedish Fish. I got a drink which was one of those Starbucks in a bottle you can buy at stores. He got one too. And we went to pay for everything.
