chapter 4

"What's wrong, Mia?" Danny asked, as she sucked in her gut even further.
"Um.. I'm stuck, Danny. I don't understand how this happened, please help me."
"Alright, I'm gonna pull you towards me on the count of three, alright? One, two, three-Oof, you're really wedged in there, aren't you?"
"Mia? Danny?"
"Mom!" Mia exclaimed, panic in her eyes.
"What's going on?"
"I'll let you explain this one," Danny said, walking to his room with a grin.
"Well?" Mia's mom, Nancy, had her arms folded and a twisted look of distaste on her pretty face.
"Um.. well, I'm just stuck I guess. I was okay on the way down but these walls are so narrow and now for some reason I'm just-"
"Some reason?" Nancy repeated, leaning forward. She slapped Mia's swollen belly and laughed harshly. "Some reason? Look at you. What's going on with you, Mia? I come down for my morning coffee before work and you're still awake, probably eating yourself so round that you cant even get through the doorway? If I couldn't see that deep bellybutton, I'd think you had a pillow under your shirt. If you can't get out of there on your own, you're staying there until you can. Do you hear me, young lady? You are going on a diet. I refuse to let my daughter become a fat cow. Don't think I haven't noticed you stuffing your fat face every minute you're awake. You're a fat, fat, fat little girl Mia, and you should be very ashamed of yourself."
"Mom, please. Please get me out of here, I'll diet, I'll start running again, okay? Please? You can't leave me here. Please, I have to go to work today. I'll get back in shape, I promise. Please help me."
"Hm.." Nancy pursed her lips, looking down at her overweight daughter. "Nah. I want you to really learn your lesson. When you get your fat ass free again, you're going straight to fat camp. Do you hear me young lady? Fat camp!"
Nancy turned on her heel and left Mia wedged in the stairwell, tears coming to her eyes. She wasn't even fat, Danny said that real women had curves. He would help her get out of there. And then he would feed her and rub her belly and tell her she was beautiful...
Mia was addicted to Danny, to the point where she was blinded by her infatuation. She relied on him in ways she shouldn't rely on anyone- especially someone who wanted her too fat to get up without help.
