Chapter 1: Introduction
“Gawd this line is long…” You hear from the girl scrolling her phone in front of you in line at your college food court. Class had just ended and you were famished from skipping breakfast. You tried to look ahead to see just how long the line was but the big back girl in front of you was completely blocking your view. If you even wanted to call her a person. As the student in front of you shifted her weight back and forth on her aching feet.
This human butterball in front of you was easily the biggest person you had ever seen in your 20 years on this earth. You estimated her at over 850 pounds easily. At nearly half a ton this woman was a waddling spectacle of the American diet pushed to its limit.
She was soaking in sweat as the semester had just started and the summer hadn’t officially ended yet. You could just imagine how exhausted she must be from her dorm to this cafeteria. She had grown so morbidly obese that she could barely even stand anymore. She rubbed her knees with her swollen-sized hands as you could see her obviously in constant pain. You hadn’t seen her before, and if you had you would have remembered seeing such an overstuffed greedy cow at your school.
She had to be a freshman. A 20-year-old freshman weighing that much? Impossible. You’re a freshman and you barely weighed 150 pounds you thought to yourself. And if she weighed that much as a freshman just imagine what her version of the “freshman fifteen” would be. 50 pounds? 75 pounds? She could easily put on another 100 pounds with the junk served at this school! Just take a look at her! She must have a ferocious appetite, able to keep up with the football players and swimmers at your school. You bet she could crush them in a food-eating contest. Hell, maybe she was a famous competitive eater recognized on the world stage! What would her food be? Chicken wings? Hotdogs? Sushi? She could probably eat a horse for lunch by the look of it! Maybe she has you think as you chuckle to yourself.
The girl obviously looked to be in the emo scene. Her short black and green hair was messy and damp from sweat. As you stepped around her in line to see how fast the line was moving you could see where this piggy stored her extra poundage. Her overhanging gut spilled out of the 7X band hoodie that she had already grown out of. The lower half of her double belly was exposed for the school to see. It was covered in cellulite and fat dimples, nearly entirely red from the dozens of stretch marks that ran down her potbelly. She tugged at her hoodie instinctively to try to cover some of her exposed middle but it was no use. She was far too big for such a confining hoodie. Her thighs were absolutely massive. Two wide trunks of lard that wobbled as she shifted her weight uncomfortably. She tried to distract herself on her phone by watching reels and not thinking of the 24/7 joint pain that ran down her body. Her back must be screaming in agony all the time. She must be waiting for double knee surgery soon if she hasn’t already had one. You think to yourself. Her lungs must be crushed down there from her gigantic chest.
So many questions ran through your head as you examined her.
How does she even stand?
How does she sleep without dying?
Where does she get clothes that big?
How does she get her shoes on?
Does she not realize how fat she is?
What do her parents think?
How long does it take her to get to class?
Why hasn’t she invested in a mobility scooter yet?
You step back behind her in line where her magnificently large booty struggled to remain still as every little shift caused her entire body to shake for several seconds. Her custom-made black sweatpants were strained to their limits and stretched so far that they were gray as they could not contain her hips and had to be over 130+ inches easily.
You could hear her breathing increase as the cashier announced that the cash register was experiencing technical difficulties. Many students rolled their eyes and complained to themselves as they stared at their phones but this big-boned goth girl was clearly fuming as she stomped her foot you couldn’t help but find it a little funny.
She turned to you as her entire body wobbled for over 30 seconds as her gut slapped her lower thighs. Her gigantic chest bouncing as her double chin wobbled as she spoke to you. She yanked at her hoodie again to try to cover up her exposed middle. God her fupa was massive as it nearly poked you.
“This is ridiculous, right?
“Huh, what?!” You say as you see just how much bigger she looks from the front.
“The sucky computers crashing out?” She says as she clarifies.
You snap back to the moment. “Oh, uh Yeah it happens a lot here. The computers here really suck.”
“I am seriously thinking about transferring out of this dump.” She continued as she kept complaining. “Plus the food isn’t even that good.”
“Oh yeah it’s not great but the campus is nice.” You continue as you see her catch you looking at her exposed belly.
She yanks at the circus tent-sized hoodie again and finally gets it to cover most of her overhanging gut.
“Yeah it’s nice but dude? The hills! I guess that’s why everyone here are all twigs!” She says to you.
“Uh yeah, I guess you’re right. It is good exercise.” You say politely, you wonder if she had even ever heard of exercise before.
“Exercise? dude, I almost passed out walking up that one hill this morning. Pretty sure I left part of my soul halfway up the hill.”
You try to hold back a grin, but she’s already watching you closely, eyes glinting with mischief.
“What, never heard a big girl complain before?” she teases, shifting so that her belly presses more fully into her thick thighs.
You swallow hard. “Uh, no—just… you’re funny.”
Her smirk widens. “Mmhmm. Sure.” She gives you an exaggerated once-over before chuckling.
She turns her head to look at the elderly cafeteria worker trying to fix the computer problem.
“Everything here is ancient dude. That woman trying to fix that old ass-looking computer, this cafeteria.”
“The dorms” You add in.
“Dude.” She says. “The bathrooms in the dorms are ridiculous. Look, I know I’m a big girl but I almost got trapped in there! My roommate, some skinny wanna-be sorority bitch wouldn’t dare be seen trying to help me. I don’t know what I would have done!”
You think about her getting stuck in the bathrooms. You’re surprised it hasn’t happened yet based on the size of those hips!
She catches you looking at her hips as you imagine the scenario she just described.
“What, you never seen a real-life big tiddy goth gf either?” She jokes to you.
“Oh, I was just looking at- your uh - band hoodie!” You say to her, trying to come up with a lie.
“Yeah, nice try dude. You’ve never heard of these guys. They would have you totally messed up after one song.” She laughs as she turns around again to examine the situation as her entire body quivers. She yanks part of her yoga pants up as she jumps and tries to cover up more of her massive fupa.
“Man, this better be worth the wait. I swear if they’re out of chicken tenders and I’ve been standing here for nothing I might actually kill someone.” She says as she turns back to you. “Just joshing bro. What’s your name by the way?” She says.
You say your name as she tells you her name is Jade.
“Look bones. If there’s no chicken tenders here then you owe me dessert.”
“Bones?” You repeat, confused.
She grins, rolling her eyes playfully. “Yeah you’re tiny compared to me. So, Bones it is.”
“Bones and Jade.” She repeats to herself. “Bones of Jade! Now there’s a cool band name.” She says, sticking to your nickname before you can do anything about it.
“Next!” The old woman yells as you see Jade move for the first time. Her melon-sized cheeks roared to life as her legs rubbed against each other. With each step more of her belly became exposed as she handed her student ID card to the cashier to swipe.
“I’ll see you out there, bones!” Jade says as you swipe your card. “I’m gonna be a minute in here!”
After several minutes of eating alone, you begin to wonder if Jade ditched you. What could that ginormous goth be doing in there? You had almost finished your chicken salad when scenarios began running through your head.
Did she pull up a chair to the fried food counter and just dig in there?
Was she arguing with an employee about how much food she could take in one trip? It was all you can eat after all!
As the minutes went on you begin to worry.
Did her legs finally give out?
Did she pass out in there?
Maybe you should go check on here you think when you finally see the half-ton blimpette waddling back to you. Her ghostly pale overhanging belly slapped her thighs with every step as her boobs bounced in her face. In each hand was a tray full of chicken tenders, fries, and brownies.
Jade looks at the table you’ve selected and the one chair sitting across from you.
“Ugh… I need to sit. Like, now.”
You glance at the single flimsy chair across from you and back at her.
“Uh do you need-“
“Two chairs dude, obviously.” Says Jade as she plops her two trays full of junk food down in front of you and looks for another chair. Various sauces shot up in the air as she dropped her trays without care. Her face was bright red as she was now soaked in sweat.
Jade’s trays could feed the entire cross-country team! Dozens of chicken tenders, she had fully stocked up on dipping sauces as BBQ, honey mustard, buffalo, red hot, ketchup, mustard, and ranch were lined up on a tray as they were all filled to the very top of their containers. Jade must have grabbed over 100 french fries for herself as well as a massive piece of the brownie tray.
“Bruh…HUFF… there’s like…PUFF…no open chairs.” She said, winded from standing for so long.
You look at Jade who clearly is exhausted from being on her aching feet for so long. You start to worry as she rubs her face with her black hoodie, lifting more of her cellulite-covered gut in your face.
“You could use a rest Jade, Here take my chair I’ll go find one for me.” You say as you try to politely address the literal elephant in the room that looks like she is about to collapse.
Jade grabbed her water bottle out of her backpack and took a massive gulp to try to cool down. “You’re HUFF nice bones…but PUFF… this isn’t…a… date. I can take care of myself.” Jade says as she pulls her hoodie down over as much of her belly as she can and spots a chair on the other side of the cafeteria.
“THAT’S MINE!” She yelled from the opposite side of the lunchroom and began dragging her drooping heavy dumpy over there. For a girl as big as Jade, that chair might as well have been on the opposite side of campus.
You watch Jade try to maneuver her colossal bulk in a cafeteria full of students all set on watching the biggest girl in town. Her hips and ass collide and crash with students, chairs, and tables as she tries to squeeze in between students. Eventually, some began moving out of the way before the tubby titan even got to them. However, Jade was beginning to show her size as she was starting to slow down.
“Could…GASP…could I get some of your soda?” Says Jade to a student as she bends over and tries to catch her weakening breath.
“Almost there…” She says to herself as she finally grabs the chair. No student would dare take the chair as their own now after seeing this greedy guts nearly risk her life so she could sit her monstrous-sized caboose across two chairs to support her extremely obesity-induced lifestyle.
You watch as Jade starts out carrying the chair at normal height, her belly button now visible, well, where her belly button should be as her massive double belly roll covers her naval. Her poor feet must be about to break under all that weight pressed on them for so long.
As she gets closer you can see her face. She looked as red as a tomato, as if she had just ran a marathon when in reality she had traveled to the opposite side of the cafeteria, grabbed a 5 pound chair and was on her way to bring it back so she could eat thousands of calories.
You did give some kudos to Jade, however. It must be almost impossible living at 850+ pounds and a small task like this is like competing an Ironman for her.
Jade slowly approached the table, her face drenched with sweat. Her double belly slapped her knees with each step as it flopped around. Her love handles were exposed as you could see just how far they dangled off her hips. Her belly hung to her knees which must have been about to snap as she now dragged the chair across the tiled floor. She was far too exhausted to carry her chair even an inch further.
Don’t say anything about how tired she looks. You think to yourself. Don’t even mention the chair, she’s just a normal girl that’s a little bigger than anyone else.
Jade’s bright red face began turning a little purple as she was just a few feet away from you now.
“You…better…not…have…touched…my…tenders…dude…” She says as begins stumbling to the table.
“Jade? You alright??” You say as you quickly start worrying about your new friend.
“Just…gotta…sit…” She says as finally one of her legs gives out as her tree trunk leg gives out she tries to catch herself with her other leg but she was far too fat and off balance to do such miracles.
You get up and run towards her as she grabs onto you for balance but you’re far too weak to hold up such a hefty cow. You instantly fall backwards as your back collides with the table, sending her two trays of chicken tenders to the ground as this half-ton bimbette holds onto you and begins to fall with you.
Everything turns to slow motion as your life so far flashes before your eyes.
Your first time playing video games with your dad when you were 5.
Beating your favorite video game.
Joining the chess team in middle school and making your first real friends.
The prom with your math tutor.
Getting accepted into this school.
Man you’re a loser you think to yourself as these images rush through your brain as you get closer to the floor and being pinned by the biggest student on campus, likely in the state.
Finally, the last moment flashed before your eyes: Meeting this wonderful young woman who was now likely to crush you to death.
As your back smacks the ground you instantly feel the sheer force of 850 pounds of pure lard collide and absorb you as you feel your back scream in pain. You hold your hands up to try to catch her but they instantly buckle under their weight. You begin to suffocate as her neck swallows your face. You lose feeling in your legs as she doesn’t have the strength to roll off of you. Quickly the air in your lungs is shot out of you as you can no longer move and can no longer breathe. You hope someone strong enough is in the room to save you as you go unconscious.
You wake up hours later in a hospital bed next to Jade who is reinforced in an extra large bed made to hold someone of her weight.
“Oh bones you’re okay!” She says.
“Wha… what happened?..” You say as your arms and legs are in casts. “What happened to me??”
The nurse looked at Jade with daggers in her eyes as Jade cleared her throat.
“Soooo funny story…I might’ve, accidentally fallen on you.” She says as she scratches behind her neck, feeling guilty.
The nurse grabbed her clipboard and added to the story.
“You two are just lucky so many people were there to get Miss Jade off of you. If you two had been alone we may not have been able to save you.“
Jade winces. “Yikes, my bad bones..”
“And we would be having a different discussion with your friend here. And Miss Jade, I hope your talk with our doctor on your weight and nutrition will have you make some changes. She will be here in a few minutes. And for you, let’s get you back to doctor Richards, I think we may need to run some additional tests on your neck.”
The nurse begins pushing your bed to the hallway as Jade looks down, but quickly smirks at you.
“Soooo I still get that dessert right!”.
You smile back as your arms and legs are wrapped in fresh casts. You wonder how long it would be till you got back on your feet. Broken bones could heal, at least Jade didn’t get seriously hurt you think to yourself.
Your neck was in a brace, but you were alive. You could move your fingers and toes, and overall, you were just happy to be breathing. The doctor had said no serious damage, just some healing time. You could deal with that.
As you were wheeled down the hallway, you saw Jade's figure shrink in the distance. The nurse pushing your bed was chattering about something, but you barely heard her. Your mind was racing with what could have been. What if no one was there to help? What if Jade's weight had crushed you completely? The thought sent a shiver down your spine.
The nurse parked your bed in an examination room and left to fetch the doctor.
As you lay there, you could hear muffled voices from behind the door. One of them was Jade's, and it was raised in argument. You strained to listen, but you couldn't make out any words. The door opened suddenly, and Jade stormed in, her face red with anger.
"Ugh, I can't believe they're trying to force me into this," she huffed, flopping down onto a chair that creaked ominously under her weight. "It's my body, my choice!"
You raised an eyebrow.
"Force you into what, Jade?"
She sighed, running a hand through her short, greasy hair. "They want to put me on a diet. Can you believe that? Me, dieting. It's ridiculous."
Your eyes widened. "A diet? But... you're already so big. Why would they want to make you smaller?"
She snorted, a sound that was part laugh, part derision. "Because they think it's healthy. Because they think I should fit into their little box of what's 'normal'.
I mean, look at me, Bones. I'm a fucking marvel of nature. I'm a goddamn force to be reckoned with. Why would I want to be some pathetic little twig like those aholes out there?" Jade gestured wildly with her hands, her massive rings glinting in the harsh hospital lights.
