Bad Boy: Michael Clifford

Chapter Thirty Six

April's POV

*Later that day*

*could be triggering, stay strong*

"Hey Aaron, how was school?" I asked as he stumbled through the front door and threw his bags down to the ground. 

"Boring! Why can't you come back yet? Nobody has been talking about it!" He whined. 

"Oh yeah, as soon as I walk through those doors it will be like a top trend on twitter!" I growled. 

He sighed and strolled over and gave me a quick hug. My parents were somehow clueless that I had been skipping school for around two weeks. I'm not sure how long it will be but I've been debating whether to go back and face everyone again. 

Whilst I've been home, I've been working out a lot more to bring myself more body confidence and I've been encouraging myself every time that I begin to feel low again. I had lost quite a bit of weight and Belle was questioning my health since I was a little bit too skinny. 

I hadn't eaten much because I've not had much of an appetite lately. Luckily, I haven't stopped eating completely but I'm scared if I end up that way. I won't allow myself to get like that though, everytime I think about skipping a meal, I begin to overthink about possible scenarios. I have people that care about me and they're still supporting me. I have to stay strong for them. 

"Do you want some pizza?" Aaron asked from the hallway. 

"No" I replied. 

"April" he warned. 

"Ugh fine" I rolled my eyes as he smiled and rang the pizzaria.

My phone buzzed on the table and I curiously checked it since this hasn't happened in a while.
