On my way out, something caught my eye. Or someone, rather.

Tyler took off his shirt, and I couldn't help but stare at the way his muscles were flexing in the process.

Okay, I would admit he's hot, but it still doesn't change how I feel about him.

"Take a picture, it might last longer,"

"Use some bandages, it might help what you got there,"

I looked down his stomach and saw all of the red and purple bruises covering his toned abs.

All of a sudden, he almost fell over, holding his arm out towards the wall for support. I actually got nervous, for I didn't know what was gonna happen.

"You alright?" I cautiously asked, forgetting what I felt about him.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," he assured me in a somewhat raspy voice.

Damn, that was hot.

Lunch rolled around eventually and I found myself walking towards the abandoned teachers lounge, and before I could even remember that I might encounter Tyler there, I was facing the door to the room.

I opened it anyway, not really caring if he was going to see me or not.

I hopped into the seat on that computer and saw that there was a tab already open.

I clicked on it, regretting it immediately.

It was a tumblr account, full of thinspo and calorie restriction tips,

all of which, were under Tyler Oakley's account.

Chapter 11- reassurance

Troye's POV

It all made sense now. It made sense why he stayed up here for lunch, or how that jumper was too big on him, or how he almost fainted today.

He's starving himself.

In all honesty, it shouldn't affect me, but it does. Eating disorders affect me. I was born with Marfan's syndrome making me abnormally skinny and pale. Everyone thought it was because I was malnourished and starving myself, when really it wasn't like that at all. I got picked on for my scrawny weight and abnormally long limbs. I don't want anyone to have to go through what I did.

At this point, I didn't care about Tyler's past, or what he did.

I needed to help him before it was all too late.

Mini chapter before I go to sleep, so here ya go, I think I might make more short chapters since you guys like faster updates and gathering all the information for the "previously" margin takes a lot more time than you think. So I might ditch the whole previous beginning chapter thing altogether. I'll only use it if the chapter is CERTAIN to have something from previous parts of the story. Yes I get it, this chapter was only 445 words and I can do better. I'm so tired guys you have no idea. I'll update once more when I get the chance tomorrow after church. Until then, I love you to the moon and back baiiii
