((Ashton's POV))

"What's going on Ashton?" Luke asked.

"Luke I think something's wrong with Dylan?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think she's been eating," I told him.

"Oh," Is all he said.

"She is so much skinnier than when we met her. And not in a good way," I said and we started walking down the crowded hallway.

"Have you tried talking to her about it?"

"Yea and when I asked her the last time she ate she went off on me. I did ask it harsher than needed but still I was just worried about her,"

"I know but talk to her at lunch," he said.

"I will," I said and walked into my English class that I have with Dylan. I sat next to her like I normally do but she ignored me.

I decided to write a note:

Dylan,

I'm sorry please forgive me?

-Ashton xxxx

I slipped it in her desk and a minute later it came back.

Fine I guess I like you too much...

I laughed a little bit at the letter. I guess I'll try talking to her again a little later. I don't want to make her mad.

It was now lunch time and I sat there watching Dylan. She hasn't eaten anything, and there's only five minutes left.

"Hey Dylan. Can I talk to you outside?" I asked.

"Yea," she said and got up.

I walked out of the lunchroom with a brown paper bag in hand with a lunch in it. I walked with her until the janitors closet came into views I then dragged her in.

"Eat please," I said handing her the bag.

"No I'm not Hun-"

"Bullshit and you know it," I said. "Please eat."

"Fine," she said and she opened the bag and started eating. It looked like she hadn't eaten in months almost. After she ate she looked at me. "Oh god."

After than she threw up in a bucket in the janitors closet. I took her hair out of her face and rubbed her back. "Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry I haven't eaten in a week and my stomach isn't use to holding food," she said like it was normal.

"What do you mean you haven't eaten in a week? That's really bad for you Dylan. You need to be eating everyday," I told her.

"Fine I'll eat," she said.

"Promise?"

"I promise," she said.

A wave of relief set over me as she promised. She never breaks her promises unless it's dire.

"Dylan why would you ever think you would need to starve yourself?" I asked

"Because as soon as I did everybody stopped making fun of my weight," She said. "And everyone seemed to like me more. Especially you."

Her response caught me off guard and I was surprised by it. "Dylan I would've not cared wether you weighed 200 pounds or wether you weighed 60 I would have still been friends with you. I tried picking you that day we got to pick people, but Luke got there first. I still like you now like when I did before."
