Max pov:

After about 30 minutes she left the room, living me with my brother. She did all the things she said she was going to do, and I got scared when she wouldn't let me see my weight but I guess I can check that when I get home/Jack's house. When she got back she asked for Zack to step out so she can talk to him along. After about 5 minutes I got off of the bed and stated to look around the room. I grabbed some gloves just as the door opened and I hoped back on the bed. By the look in my brothers eyes he knew I was doing something.

"Okay, Max if you don't start to eat we may initially require feeding through a tube that's placed in your nose and goes to your stomach, a nasogastric tube." She looked over at Zack when she knew I was getting scared, but Zack just nodded at her to keep going.

"The first goal of treatment is getting back to a healthy weight. You can't recover from an eating disorder without restoring an appropriate weight and learning proper nutrition. A psychologist or other mental health professional can work with you to develop behavioral strategies to help you return to a healthy weight. But you can have you brother help you too or/and people you trust. Im going to put you in therapy as well, and don't worry someone you trust can go with you or you can go by yourself. Therapy will be on Saturdays at 1pm. So you have 4 days until your first day."

"I don't want to go to therapy, you can't make me go! You can't even make me eat!" I yelled at her.

"Yes we can, if you can't get back to a healthy weight at home then we will have to put you in a hospital were some one is watching you 24/7." She said looking in to my eyes, I went back to looking at my hands.

When we finally got back to the car Zack told me we had to go to Wal-Mart to get my medicine. Cymbalta, 60 mg/day (given 30 mg twice daily). She told me about how it will help with my depression and stuff.

"Max I'm sorry but you need help. You can die from not eating," my brother said as he started the car.

"I'm just dreaming of tearing you a part," I mumbled to the song not looking away from what was in front of me. I heard him sigh and he dropped the conversation. After about three Simon Curtis songs and one fall out boy song we made it to the store. We got out and made our way to get my meds. I sat down after about three minutes he came back.

"They said it will take 45 minutes to be ready. What do you want to do?"

"Dye my hair?" I asked not meeting his eyes.

"I don't know Max. Do you really want to? I know how you are, you do things you will regret when you're upset." He said pulling me up and heading to the hair dye.

"Yeah I really want to, I think I'll look cool with pink and blue hair. Oh and can I get some clothes too?" I said getting a little happy. Zack stopped and looked over at me.

"Yeah sure. But I need to get some food, Jack texted me saying we need food."

"Oh... okay." We made our way to the hair dye I got some pink and blue. We walked over to the clothes and I picked out a shirt with a clown holding a sign saying 'Free Hugs', and a pair of shorts.

"Can you go get a cart for me please," Zack asked me when he realized we needed one.

"Yeah sure" I walking to the first of the store I ran in to Nick. He was on his phone texting his brother, Blake, was with his.

"Oh, hi Max. You just couldn't get away from me could you? Hmm you know we could go find a less crowded place to fuck?" I knew my face was red, I have never met the guy before and he's asking me to have see with him. Nick looked up from his phone and looked at me. One minute he is all happy and the next minute he looks like he is going to kill me.

"You will not have sex with my brother!" He yells at me pulling his brother with him, far far away from me.

"Well okay then?" I mumbled to my self. I made my way to the carts and started walking back to where my brother was. On my was I saw Nick yelling at his brother about not being gay, but by the look one Blake's face he didn't care very much. When I made it back to Zack he was looking at a batman hat.

"I want," I said walking up behind him. He jumped a little and turned around.

"Max, don't scare me like that," he said putting his hand on his chest. I smiled at him and took the stuff, the hat too, from his and put it in the cart.

"I'm sorry. Can we go now?"

"No we still need to get food," he said taking the cart from me and told me to follow him.

"I think that is enough food. I'm only staying until I get better to go to school, right?" I asked, we already had the hole cart stacked to the top and he was still putting more in.

"Max, look i'm going to college in a couple of months and I don't want you staying at the house. You're not safe there. So you are staying with Jack." He stopped walking and looked back at me when I wasn't walking anymore.

"Max? Are you okay?" He asked, but I wasn't okay. I didn't know what to say my brother was leaving me. Don't want him to leave me. What if he never comes back? What is he forgets who I am or something? I don't know what I would do if he forget me. All I could think about right now is changing the topic to something. What was i going to do today aging? Oh yeah I am going oh a date with Matt tomorrow.

"Max?" He asked and all I did was smile.

"Zack I am fine. I was just thinking about tomorrow," I walked up to him like nothing was wrong.

"What is going on tomorrow?" He asked me making me stop so i was looking up at him.

"I am going on a date with Matt tomorrow night," he looked at me like i was stupid or something. He didn't say anything, all he did was walk away. About 20 minutes later we were walking out of the store and back to his car. I helped him with putting everything in the back of the car, he told me to go put the cart up and I did. When i got back to the car he looked mad.

"I'm sorry if i made you mad or something," I whispered.

"You didn't make me mad, I just don't want you to go on a date. You are to young for that stuff."

"I am almost 16, I can go out on dates if I want to!" I yelled. After that we didn't talk the whole ride back to Jack's house. When we made it back there were people everywhere and I didn't see Jack or Matt anywhere.

"Who are all theses people?" I asked my brother.

"Oh, Jack said that there are other people living here other than him and his mom and dad," he said getting out of the car. When I got out of the car lots of people were looking at me. I could feel my face heat up, but I didn't know why. I helped my brother bring the food in, he gave me my bag with my clothes and hair dye. I walked up the stairs to 'my' room when Jack came in and Zack told him that they needed to talk. I know they are talking about me, it seems like everyone does. When I opened 'my' bedroom door Matt was sitting on my bed or more like laying on it.

"Hey Max," he said sitting up. I put my stuff down on the bed and looked though it and found what I was looking for.

"Hi Matt. Do you wanna help me?" I asked holding up the hair dye.
