Closure

"Here goes nothing" Olivia muttered to herself as she took off all her clothes and stared at herself in the body length mirror completely nude.
Not much to look at with a slight turn all of her ribs were scantily covered by skin. From a front view the bottom of her rib cage caved in a inch.

"Why did I even bother?" Olivia questioned herself flipping the mirror over unable look at her sickly reflection. She went to the closet and got one of Ronnie's sweaters that on her went down to mid thigh. Though the early July weather would prove that wearing such clothes was not a good a idea she didn't care.

"It's 90° outside. Why are you wearing a sweater?" Ronnie asked coming in the bedroom

"Because I can" Olivia answered putting on some black tights.

"Why?"

"Please we are just going to Target, Ronald"

"And few other places"

"Well what do you suppose I wear then?" Olivia crossed her arms

"Here" Ronnie handed her a simple, cotton, knee length black dress that was hanging neatly in the closet. It wasn't tight so she didn't see any harm in wearing it and that she may have been overreacting.

"Fine" she took it, normally she'd just change right in front of Ronnie but for some reason at that moment it didn't feel right. All of a sudden she became conscious of herself. Awkward and embarrassed. Ronnie patiently waited for her to change. Epically failing at trying to play off her awkward hesitation she sticked her tongue out and walking to the bathroom and changed taking off the sweater and tights in exchange for the dress

oh so smooth

Ronnie was there when she came out the bathroom, waiting as usual. He's arms were crossed which meant something was bothering him. Olivia didn't ask what.

Jacky went with them to Target, he was silent as he ordinarily was. The light clicking sound from his cell phones keyboard was the reminder that Jacky sat in the back seat. The silence between Ronnie and Olivia was prominent. Nothing was spoken.

"What did we come here for?" Olivia asked Ronnie when the silence was unbearable, by this time they were already in Target Olivia pushing the shopping cart

"Cleaning supplies and other domestic items for the place" Ronnie replied glancing over to her with a small forced smile, that bothered Olivia the most. It was one thing to see Stina sadden by her but to see the physical toll her sickness affect Ronnie, well that was another. She glanced back at Jacky he was following behind them with his earbuds in, probably blocking out the entire world was he typed away on his phone.

The entire forty two minutes the three of them were in target acquiring domestic goods and simple groceries Olivia thought of too much, the same questions and no answers. what's exactly wrong with me? Is it all in my head? Does Ronnie love me or is he just taking care of me? Maybe I should have stayed in Vegas with Nason, like he wanted me too..

They were in line, Jacky was putting the items on the conveyor belt to be rung up and bagged. Ronnie's hand moved from his pockets to Olivia's side. Her upper torso on part of her rib cage. He pulled her close to her. Just the thought of Ronnie's hand resting on that particular area made her uncomfortable. That was something she never thought she feel with Ronnie around. She moved his hand lower near her waist, but afterward he just removed his hand taking her gesture as her not wanting to be touched.

"Hey Jacky are you hungry?" Ronnie asked, Olivia held back her scoff noting how he didn't even ask her anymore if she was hungry.

"Hm?" Jacky yanked a single earbud out his right ear

"You wanna go to Chipolte'?" Ronnie nodding towards the restaurant next the large plaza they were standing

"Yes" Jacky quietly responded, his normal talking voice was almost a whisper.

They walked to Chipotle, the Mexican Grill. Which is kind of like Taco Bells classy cousin.

"Are you going to eat something?" Ronnie asked Olivia as they were looking over the menu which was much to look over considering it was just burritos, hard tacos, soft taco and chips and gac. It was all in the ingredients you were able to stuff in what ever you decided to get.

"Three soft tacos" Olivia said then closed the laminated menu. Ronnie raised a brow but didn't question her order. The waiter came and left with the orders of four burritos in which the list of ingredients was much to lengthy.

While they waited they appetized on chips with the choice of guacamole or salsa. Olivia indulged herself. She made the mental decision that she no longer wanted to be the way she was any more. The delicious smell the circulated the restaurant was convincing enough, it aided her in to thinking she'd be able to eat and not get sick. Then she no longer have to see the disappointed hurt expressions of Ronnie and Stina.

Second taco was down and Olivia's stomach wasn't showing any signs of protest. Ronnie was watching in awe. Alighted at the sight. Talking in between bites they conversed, Jacky listening making a few points himself when asked his thoughts.

All was good. Ronnie picked up the tab, they were about to head back home when Olivia stopped abruptly in the middle of the parking lot. A truck screeched as it stop a few inches from her and honked it's horn.

"Move!" the driver yelled from the window

"Oli, come your holding up traffic" Ronnie urged.

That familiar gurgle emitted from Olivia's stomach. She held her midsection. no, no, no, no! her mouth salivated, which only meant one thing was about to happen

"Get out the way!" the driver honked his horn again, and again

"Olivia!" Jacky called out, something that he never did. At that moment multiple cars were backed up and honking their horns.

"MOVE!" the driver said once more before Olivia regurgitated her soft tacos on the parking lot inevitably also getting on the drivers truck tires and grill.

XxX

"Well all your test came back normal. You in good condition besides being under weight and malnourished" Dr. Somoas stated going flipping through freshly printed stapled paper

"That's impossible. You can't say she's in good heath, honestly" Ronnie told the doctor.

Olivia sat there in a hospital gown, silently. She been there all morning, having different doctors and specialist poking and prodding at her and she was beginning to feel tired.

"Besides her reports of fatigue and nausea there's nothing we can do because we've found no abnormalities in her system. We done the standard testing"

"There's nothing you can do?" Ronnie's voice was pleading. The doctor studied Ronnie's worried face. He sympathized with him, but he was a doctor. It was probably an expression he'd taught himself to look like when he'd tell patients and their families that he couldn't do his job. He looked over to the eighteen year old malnourished female, clearly not in good health.

"Step outside for a moment with me?" Dr. Somoas rhetorically asked and before Ronnie could oblige Dr. Somaos was up at on the way to the door. Before Ronnie left the room he watched for a moment Olivia sitting on the hospital bed, legs crossed gazing out the window.

"I believe she's inducing herself to vomit " Dr. Somaos stated bluntly once down the hall out of hearing sight.

"Excuse me?" Ronnie was taken back for a split second but he clearly heard what the doctor had said

"I believe your girlfriend has Bulimia, Mr. Radke"

"No, she wants to eat-" Ronnie shook his head.

"Most patients showing signs of this eating disorder binge then induce the vomiting, feeling guilty

"I watched her all of a sudden throw up after we ate. Its not like she stuck her fingers down her throat"

"Some, after getting used to vomiting they can do on command without having to things such as touching the uvula"

Ronnie became silent. He would be lying he said he'd never considered such things. He didn't want to believe that she was doing to such damage to herself.

"What can I do?" Ronnie was out options, not like he had many to began. But he was just trying to use the cards he was dealt. The doctor grimaced,

"Lets wait a week. Try encourage her to eat. Get healthy, try over the counter vitamins"

"Then what? What nothing changes. Give her a week? This has been happening for over a year!

"And...if that doesn't work we'll probably have to hospitalize her and feed her through a tube until she gets better"
