Chapter 28 Stomach Rolls

• OAKLYNN
• My friends decided I needed a night out because they claimed I had been moping ever since Kylo left. I was, but lately, going out kind of sapped the energy out of me. It took too much effort. I felt constantly tired and drained…sluggish every morning. The smell of certain food made me nauseous, and the scent of sweet perfumes and soap made my stomach turn.
• At the same time, I craved all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff, from pickles to an ice-cold glass of milk in the middle of the night. I ate more than my body weight, and my thickening waistline and thighs were a testimony to this. I couldn’t understand my sudden cravings or huge appetite. It could have been stress eating, my recent engagement, or the reality that college was finally over and I was about to step into the real world. Then there was the tension with my parents. We hadn’t talked in a while, and that wasn’t going to change, unless and until they were ready to accept Kylo, I was not going to give peace or reconciliation a chance.
