The mask hides

Pt. 10 away home

Trigger warning [small implicates of eating disorders]

Travis pov
After having lunch down at the river I had noticed that Sal had not eaten, which was expected with the whole mask thing, but I wasn't sure if it was on purpose, he constantly didn't eat and if he did was he eating enough? Even before the field trip he didn't eat lunch though for most of us neither did we having lunch right before the field trip, as he sal looking out the bus window I looked to him as I held out something for the lunch that I packed him earlier he shook his head no and I slowly nodded still worried the face that he didn't I wasn't going to force him but it was had not to just suggest it.

Sal's pov
Though I knew that Travis was worrying about that habit of what I ate but I tried not to push it knowing I would eat eventually through out the day, or at least try to eat something. Even if Travis pushed it I would try to pull it off.
As the bus stopped I got out slowly stepping behind Travis trying the stay with him thanking the bus driver and going out the the school yard, by the time we got back we only had a couple minutes before the day ended having suggested that we what in the library.

Wait in the library just had us bored either tired from the day or just tired of waiting there but soon enough the bell rung having all of us move out to the front of the school either getting rides or waiting for them, that's when I saw Travis start constantly looking at his phone was he trying to get a ride? It wouldn't be strange if he was but he won't normally have one so why was he trying to?

"Come on pick up.." as no one answered i tried calling again, the one day I actually wanted a ride I couldn't get one though normally I would just walk home. as the phone rung i kept looking back to Sal again worrying about him more than myself he was getting in to his dads car and just to get in, he looked towards me smiling, i smiled back as i tried to get a hold of my dad or a family member to at least drive me home but thats when i heard the blueberry boy yell out to me "hey Trav!" looking into the direction he was "do you need a ride?" i nodded as i grabbed my bag.

getting in the car with Travis this time wasn't so awkward this time, we could actually talk with out just sitting in silence for the most part it was just talking about the day but yet soon enough we got to Travis's house and dropped him off but after saying goodbye to him had a shaky filling especially in Travis's voice.

Stepping up to the door hesitently going for the knob taking a deep breath trying to be ready for what was going or has happen in the house i stepped in.
