Chapter 3: Mara
By the time I'm done, it's time to get ready and I'm exhausted. I put on a trace of makeup and pull on a black long sleeve shirt and jeans. I stare in the mirror, is that really me? Large hazel eyes, brown hair twisted to the side to hide the large hand Mark across the side of my face, my eyes are puffy and red from lack of sleep. I look down and follow my body. A surge of shame hits me so strong I nearly gag, I grab my bag and cast another look at the mirror, I find myself gravitating towards the bathroom, my mind on how I could change the things about myself. I set my bag by the door and lean over the toilet, I close my eyes and press my finger to the back of my throat. It works. The contents of my stomach empty but I don't stop, I can't, I'm flying high imagining how I will be. How I could be. Suddenly, I wake up in the floor. Never again, I promise myself as the bright light hits my eyes, but I know the truth. It has begun again and once I begin, I won't be able to stop. I grab my bag and head for the car.
