Tw: eating disorder behaviors 

Travis pov 

" Hey, I missed you! how did the commercial go? " she asks greeting me with a kiss as I arrive back 

" I missed you too. And it was alright, lasted longer than I expected, Pat kept messing up his lines" I say with a laugh. There was always fun commercials the team did around the super bowl for official NFL sponsors

" I don't know if you're hungry yet but I just Ordered some teriyaki chicken from that place you like" 

" you're the best! " I run to the kitchen and start putting food on a plate, it was still warm too 

She sits with me at the table as I start eating  " are you gonna have any?"

" I already ate"

" there was hardly anything missing  in the takeout box, the rice was still in a perfect ball??" it didn't look like any the boxes were even opened 

" I had something else, I was too hungry to wait". She explained with a smile 

" understandable, I've done the same" Granted it generally doesn't sit there long for me but I can see what that could spoil someone's appetite 

"You wanna watch a movie or something?" Taylor asks as I put my plate in the dishwasher and the takeout in the fridge. 

" you're on. Media room or bedroom?" I asked 

" Bedroom, I'm tired" 

We head up and end up watching Law & Order. 

" do you hear something? " she asks a cute confused look on her features as we hear a faint noise 

"I think it's your phone, mines right here." I point to the nightstand 

" shit! I left it downstairs. Must be in my purse" she groans about to get up from her comfy spot 

" hey, I got it, I'm gonna grab a drink and snack anyway? You want anything?" 

She shakes her head no and thanks me

I head down and go to find her bag, I'm about to reach her ringing phone when something catches my eye. That can't be right..Maybe it's not what I think.  I take the bottles out to get a better look and become even more concerned. Why is she taking these? We need to talk about this, with her past it's even more dangerous. 

" babe what's taking so long-" she freezes when she sees what's in my hand 

"Why are you touching my shit ?!  I didn't say you could snoop in my purse" she yells running to try and snatch that stuff back, unsuccessfully. 

" why are you talking these? " I ask concerned and slightly angry because it was unsafe 

" They are vitamins." She lies terribly 

" they are not vitamins and you know damn well! " I need her to be honest  " why would you take these Taylor?" I ask 

" you know why." She says. Her tone changes from anger to sad. I want to comfort her but we're not done talking yet 

" these weight loss supplements are dangerous, unregulated, and you don't even know what's in them." I try to explain 

  " well it's my choice. You can't tell me what to do with my own body"  she says angrily, crossing her arms

" it's unsafe, and you're beautiful the way you are " 

" shut up. I could be taking other more extreme  stuff you know! It wouldn't be too hard for me to get, my doctor might've been unwilling to prescribe weight loss injections or other shit with my history,  but it's possible to get "
