Activity Check - 10/11
Eden had always believed in the power of seeing the good in others. She loved people and had lived life being open to other people's opinions and thoughts, accepting those for who they were rather than whether or not they shared her same beliefs. For the longest time, this worked well for the brunette. She was able to make wonderful friends and lived a life without weighing her heart down wtih hate. Well... without hate for others, that is. It wasn't until she was pregnant with her first child with the person she believed to be the love her life when things had changed. She lost the baby, being kicked hard in the stomach which resulted in a swift miscarriage. Eden may have not meant for this to happen... but she could have avoided it.
Why did she go to the beach that day? She knew that Lucy had something planned. She was pregnant and fragile. She should have stayed home, encouraged Jude to stay with her and ensure that she and the baby would have been safe. Instead, she was stupid and believed that not going would be far more dangerous. Now, she was not only without a child... she was without her lover, the same man that had promised her forever.
Another day off resulted in heavy day-drinking, the alcohol being the only real source of caloric intake. Light-headedness was beginning to bring a downer onto her day though, killing her buzz. Eden broke down, grabbing herself a piece of bread from the cupboard and nibbling on it slowly. She could only get half of it down before a sickening sensation wracked her petite frame. Shame and guilt. The female popped up from the couch and hurried off to the bathroom, immediately falling to her knees, ignoring the pain as her patellas cracked down onto the tiled floor. She had been purging for years now... she no longer needed her finger. With an intricate movement of her tongue, Eden heaved, and with ease she purged, only satisfied when she believed there were no more traces of bread left in her stomach.
"You don't deserve to eat. You don't need it." Her demons chanted, the recent purge causing tears to prick at the corner of her eyes. "You are the reason you're alone. You have no child, no lover... no one." The demons continued, their words like white-hot irons piercing through her heart. The emotional pain was immense, causing her to collapse over the porcelain bowl as deep, body-trembling sobs wracked her frame. "All alone, and this is what you deserve."
