(Armin's POV)
We've been at Cat's house for about an hour now. Everyone had parted off on their own ways, I stayed home to look after Cat. She had gone off to the bathroom, so I was sitting in the living room alone.
I was reading and had the Rock Hits Music Choice channel playing, Green Day's "Basket Case" was currently playing. I started to hear Cat coughing again. I sat down my book and slowly walked over to the bathroom door. I knocked lightly, no answer. I only heard Cat coughing and... gagging...?
"Cat... Cat, what are you doing in there?!" I called out, worried.
"It... it's nothing...."
(Cat's POV)
I sat on the cold bathroom floor in nothing more than a spaghetti-strap tank top and my underwear. I looked down at the mess I made.
I had purged.
Again.
I couldn't stand this torture. Every time I ate reminded me of Kid, every time he had food sent back and remade because it 'wasn't symmetrical enough'. It always made me feel like maybe he just didn't want me eating.
So know I'm addicted to the sour, painful feeling of forcing myself to throw up.
"Cat... Cat, what are you doing in there?!" Armin called through the door.
"It... it's nothing..." I answered, looking at the pool of half-digested, whatever the fuck I ate, and blood in the toilet bowl. I quickly flushed and washed my hands, face, and a bit of my neck. (Sorry, not gonna sugercoat it. This is what purging and dry-heaving feels and looks like.)
I unlocked the door and peeked out at Armin.
"Like I said, it's nothing. Really." I forced myself to smile. He didn't respond, only wiped a bit of shit I didn't clean off my face. He glared at me.
"Why?!" He screamed. "Don't you know what this does to you?! This is why you're sick!! What makes you think it's good thing to do?! I love you Cat, and goddamnit, I DON'T WANNA FUCKING LOSE YOU!!!" I was slightly shocked by him screaming at me like this. He seemed so much more... Well, I don't know the word but you get it.
"I... Kid... He always..." I stuttered.
"No, he isn't important enough to make you do this! I'm not either, no one is. No one is worth hurting yourself over. No one or ANYTHING is." He hugged me, but quickly pulled away.
"I feel like I'm going to break you. Seriously, how long has this been going on?" Armin asked me, almost terrified to know.
(Armin's POV)
"Seriously, how long has this been going on?" I asked Cat.
"Months now..." She whispered. She teared up and started crying. "I'm so sorry... I can't help it.... I don't know why I even do it anymore..." I hugged her again, my arms wrapping around her. I felt her ribs through the thin fabric of her tank top.
"It's okay... I know you can get better..." I whispered to her, stroking her hair to soothe her.
"Armin... Promise you'll stay with me? No matter what?" Cat asked.
"Of course. Why?" I answered.
"Well, c-cause..." Cat started, and looked up at me. Her pale face was streaked with lines from where tears had fallen.
"The only hope for me is you..."
