That Cursed Deli

George has finally cleaned up the mess that the taller one had made. After hours of falling asleep while trying to clean, then throwing up every now and again from all the alcohol he had consumed. He wanted it all to go away.

"ugh" he sighed, "I'm never drinking again.. probably.." He finally sat down running his hands through his messy hair. He wanted so badly to get away from the man, he hated him now. He was afraid of him, and George wasn't sure how he'd cover up all the bruises and scratches.

The brunette had resorted to makeup. He had used it to cover up hickeys but this time was different. He applied makeup, covering the painting his ex had made on his skin. 

RINGGGGG

His phone was ringing. It was Bad. George picked up his phone and cleared his voice before hitting accept. "Hello?" He said trying to cover up his tired groggy voice. "GEORGE!!! Omg, whats up you sound tired?" Bad had replied with a happy tone. Shit. "Uh.. nothing bad just didn't get too much sleep last night haha, what's up man?" Bad was a caring person, in fact he cared about George more than anybody ever had in his life. "OH! I just wanted to know if you wanted to come hang out with me and nick!! we were going to go get food and hang out! We haven't in so long!"

George didn't want to go at all. He knew if he declined he would hurt his eager friends feelings, tho, so he accepted. "Uh sure bad heh, what time do you guys want me to leave?" he said rubbing the back of his neck. "We can come pick you up! be ready in 10!!" he said as he abruptly hung up. The brunette winced at the sudden sound of the call ended. He sighed, what did he just say yes to.

After maybe about 7 minutes, he was dressed nervously looking at himself in the mirror to make sure none of the bruises were showing. He was dressed in a soft pink hoodie, and some sweatpants. He had no intention of looking good, he needed to cover up as much as he could. 

George could here a car pull up to his house, he grabbed his phone and peaked out his window to see a small gray car with two idiots inside, both smiling as the one in the drivers seat was waving so hard it looked as if his hand would fall off. 

George smiled wearily, opening his door then closing it behind him and locking it, he hurried to the car and got in the back seat. "GEORGE!! I haven't seen you in so long!" Bad shouted, clearly excited. Nick had turned around smiling then scoffed, "Wow George you look a mess what were you up to last night?" Nick said with a joking smirk. George had to play it off, "HAHA very funny nick" The brunette exclaimed sarcastically, trying to push past the subject. 

They all shared a small chuckle, then Bad started up the car again and began to drive away from the small little complex. 

The car ride was mostly filled with Bad and Nick's giggles as they told each other stupid jokes, occasionally asking George some questions. Nick finally turned, "So George where do you want to eat?? your pick!" Nick said smiling. 

George didn't want to eat. He felt disgusted with himself, which is another reason he had layers of cloths on, but he didn't want his friends to worry about his sudden change in mood. They knew he usually never turned down eating, in fact he ate more then both of them did. "uhh I'm not sure haha, how abouttt.... bad chooses?? I like am hungry for everything I'll never be able to decide" Bad's eyes had lit up,"Yea your right it'd probably be midnight by the time you decided what you wanted to eat" Nick said laughing. "OH I know!! lets go to that deli down the street from the ceramics shop! It just opened and i heard they have pretty banger sandwich's!" Bad said with joy in his voice has he turned on his blinker to turn right.

Phew, sandwich's. Not that bad.

-

They finally had parked in front of the deli, It was sort of crowded, mostly with people talking outside and others just there for the shops surrounding the deli. They all got out of the car, Nick and Bad excitingly almost slamming the doors and turning to George as if hinting for him to hurry up, "Come on George!!" they said as the brunette had finally closed his door, smiling and walking around the car to them. George had walked through the door first, and following behind him were the two knuckle heads fighting to get through the door. 

Once they were all inside Nick and Bad' giggles died down as they all walked to the cashier to order. George had started to grow sick, he felt his stomach twisting and knotting, but he didn't want to ruin their fun filled day. They both ordered and allowed the brunette to step forward. "hm..." He said looking back at the two nervously then back at the kind woman,"Uh could I order the number 2?" He stated, as the woman nodded smiling and added that to the order. "That'll be 25.12!" She said smiling kindly at him. Nick had stepped forward, "I'LL pay George, don't worry" he said confidently as he took out his wallet and started counting up his bills.

Bad and George had walked away to a table as they could see Nick failing to count correctly and trying to flirt helplessly with the woman in front of him. Bad laughed, "God, this is the 5th time hes done this this week." George rolled his eyes chuckling, Nick was quite the idiot. 

-

After Nick had sat down and they waited for their food, a worker finally came from the back bringing out three wrapped sandwich's, The two boy's mouths were watering as they thanked the waitress, and started unwrapping their sandwich's. George had signed under his breath opening his, and staring down at it. His appetite was gone, but he didn't know how he'd get out of not eating this. 

Luckily the boys were too busy downing their food and cracking jokes to notice how slow he was eating. The brunette had finally finished it feeling more sick then ever, knots in his stomach and a rising nausea that came with it. He quickly blurted, "I'll be right back- i'm going to use the restroom." George said standing up abruptly. The two looked up at him and smiled "Okay! we'll be in the car!" Bad said, "Don't pee all over your legs" Nick said laughing, as Bad elbowed him.

TW: Throwing up.

George smiled nervously, as he hurried over to the bathroom slightly. He swung open the door, locking it behind him, he skipped a step over to the toilet hanging his head over, he let it all come out. 

He didn't know why his body was refusing to keep in what he had once before enjoyed more then anything else. He loved to eat, so this was the most miserable thing he had ever experienced. He sat there letting his stomach empty out for quite some time, until finally his breathless gags slowed, and he stood up to flush the toilet and clean himself up. The brunette looked up at him self in the mirror, suddenly shadows had towered over him, he felt as if he was being watched, he felt GUILTY. The boy's face was now pale and lifeless, he looked sick.

TW vover

He finally gathered up the courage to walk out the door, it had only been a few minutes but it felt like an eternity he spent hanging his head over that toilet. He walked out of the shop to the car smiling at the lady, he got out and opened the car door. They both turned to him smiling, and he knew what nick was about to say. "Jesus man were you shitting in there??" Nick said laughing. "Haha Nick no, i was having a nice chat with the girl you were flirting with." He scoffed. Nick opened his mouth offended, "Come on man you know I was trying to get her number." He said jokingly. The brunette rolled his eyes, putting a hand on his chin facing out the window. Bad had started to car and they were on their way to go do other things. 

-

After what seemed forever, it was finally 7, and time for them to go home. Bad had dropped off Nick first, as it was the closets from where they were. He had finally pulled into the complex parking lot and turned to George. "hey, i noticed you have some bruises, is everything okay?" he said in a concerned tone. Shit. He saw. But how?? George had looked down to see when he rolled up his sleeves the makeup had rubbed off while they were doing stuff revealing nasty marks. "Uh... Bad I-..." He struggled to come up with a lie. My cat did it, me and Oliver were play fighting, Oh we had a good night, We- 

Bad had placed a hand on the small boys shoulder, frowning. "uh... me and Oliver aren't together.. anymore..." he said wincing at what his friend would say. "what?? omg.. did he do that to you George????" Bad said clearly worried with a hint of fear. George looked up frowning on the verge of tears. "Y-yes- but bad I'm o-okay i swear, he's out of my life and its over.. please don tell anybody please.." He begged obviously getting very tense. Bad sighed and looked at his friend then the marks on his feeble arms. "I wont... but, please come to me when something like this happens George.. I acre about you." He said with a frown. 

George nodded leaning into a hug Bad had put apon him. George finally got out of the car after a few minutes, on the verge of crying waved and smiled wearily and unlocking his apartment. He stepped inside his cold dark apartment, letting tears run down his face and turning the light on. He looks to see a familiar face sitting on the couch he turned his head smirking at the small boy.

Oliver.
