Chad? I thought after the break-up that I'd never hear from you again. What's happened?


From: Chad

To: Matt

I'm so happy to hear from you Matt! It's horrible! This is the first time in three years since I've been able to speak with anyone other than him. At first, I thought it was harmless. I even enjoyed it, but now it's just awful. I can't stop. I know I'm hopeless. I don't even know where I am, but maybe you could help Matt. Save me from this room and him.

Subject: Explain?

Chad, so far you're not making any sense and I don't know what you're talking about at all. Can you IM? Then why don't you tell me what's going on....starting from the beginning.

Chad: Matt, you there?

Chad: Please, answer Matt!

Matt: Yea, I'm here. So what's happening, tell me the whole story.

Chad: Uhhh. Well, I guess I can try. But it's such a long story Matt, please can't you just help?

Matt: I can't help if I don't know exactly what's going on. Just tell me. I'll listen to it all and
decide what to do after that.

Chad: I guess it would be hard to help if you don't know how. Just, I'm so scared Matt. He could catch me using this laptop.

Matt: Look Chad I need some information here or I can't decide what to do. Start at the beginning; take as long as you need. Just tell me everything.

Chad: Ok. Well, after we broke up I moved out and found this nice place. It was a bit pricey, but I thought that would be ok with my new job. I was on a 2 year lease, but I didn't plan on moving soon or anything. Two months after moving in I get laid off. I thought I'd be ok because I always have a bit of savings, you remember. Well the savings ran out and I had managed to avoid paying the month's rent by talking with the landlord. He said that if I broke the lease he'd take it to court and completely screw me over. I got a couple part time jobs at restaurants near the apartment.

Chad: I barely managed to pay the rent, but I had no money for food. I was so hungry all the time that all the extra food, food that had been sitting out a bit too long, and every other scrap of food I could find at my jobs went straight down to my belly. I would show up to work absolutely starved and leave after my shift being completely stuffed. I worked at a diner in the mornings and a burger joint in the evenings. I started to gain weight, after just two months of this I'd outgrown all my clothes. None of my clothes fit even slightly. My pants wouldn't even go passed my thighs, shirts were so skin tight I could barely breathe, and underwear was so tight around my bubble butt that HE'S COMING!

Chad: BRB!
