Pretty Ruined

***TRIGGER WARNING***

Adina Dunstan was 14 when her eating patterns began to change. Due to life stress and events, she no longer found herself enjoying anything anymore, and all she cared about was what food went into her mouth and how many calories she burned that day. Her best and only friend, eighteen year old Darwin Weissborn, does whatever he can to help her, given her fragile state. Adina is dying, she's sick with the skeletal curse, and even she doesn't know if she'll make it out alive.

Author's Note:

I myself, and many people I have known, have struggled with mental disorders. If this story strikes any uncomfortable feelings, I strongly encourage you to talk to anybody you trust. This is not an inspiring story, giving you ideas on how to harm yourself further. This is real, and this disease ruins lives and families. I've seen it.

Please note this is a real story.
