City Lights

Lenoras family

Chris POV
"Leni come here your laptop is ringing somebody calls you on Skype right now" I yell so Lenora could hear me from the other end of the bus. "Coming" she yelled back and shortly after I heared footsteps running towards me. She plumbed down on her bed and pressed accept. I sat down on the opposite bunk because I ,my sneaky self, wanted to know who called her. "It took you long enough to answer. Have you been busy fucking this guy you brought home!?" I heared a female voice and saw leni tense up. "No mum I wasn't fucking this guy but thanks for asking" you could hear her voice dripping with venom. It was clear she hated her mother. "We just wanted to tell you that we moved. So you don't even have to show up to our old house anymore." lenis mother informed her. "Oh. Were did you move to?" Leni asked. "That doesn't matter to you. You aren't welcomed in this house anymore." her mum spat. Suddenly you heared voices in the background "oh I think shes talking to my sister. She's a totall freak you can be lucky that you never met her. Shes fat and cuts herself. Really disgusting" with that leni smashed her laptop close and sat up. "Leni..." I began talking but she just shook her head. I moved over to her bunk but she tensed up even more. I sighed and gave up. I decided to get Devin as leni and him grown together really strong as friends. "Devin?" I asked around. "Down here in the kitchen" I heared him answer. I made my way downstairs. "Hey man I think leni needs you. She just got a really rude call from her family and won't let me get close to her." as soon as the words have left my mouth Devin run upstairs.

Devins POV
I run upstairs being scared what she might be doing to herself right now. As I reached the bunks I found her sitting on the edge of hers staring into nothing. She first didn't realised that I sat down next to her only than when I pulled her down with me so she was laying in my arms. She didn't move or speak so I stayed quiet as well. I'm sure she just needed someone to be there without having to explain what's wrong at the moment. "Thank you devin" she whispered sleepily after a while. I smiled and kissed her head while she drifted off to sleep. I however couldn't sleep I was way to focused on my thoughts about her and what could be wrong. I noticed that the curtains got pulled back slowly, probably not to wake anyonr, and Chris face appeared. With the hand which wasn't drapped around her I moved my finger to my lips to show him that he should be quiet. He nodded and left again.

Lenoras POV
When i woke up I felt somebody next to me and began to panic. "Leni Leni sh it's just me don't worry" I heared devin say and calmed down again. Suddenly all the things came back crushing down on me what happened bevor I fell asleep and I felt the familiar sting in my eyes from the tears which built up. I swallowed hard. I didn't want to cry in front of devin. "C'mon Leni let's get up and get you something to eat you haven't been eating anything today." devin said as he got up. I slowly followed him not really keen on eating but I promised them. I sat down on the kitchen counter as devin made himself and me a sandwich. "Here. I hope you like it." He handed me the turkey and cheese sandwich. I smiled at him even it didn't reach my eyes and started picking at it. "What are you doing to the food I made for you with love?!" devin asked jokingly in a shocked way. This time I really had to smile. Should I tell him the truth? I looked at him and when his eyes met mine I knew that I could trust him enough to tell him. "Ehm...please promise me you won't tell anyone" I asked him. He put his hand over his heart and swor not to tell anybody. "Its a thing I do all the time when I eat. I break my food into tiny bits than I sort out the parts I don't want to eat and than count the once I'll eat. I know how often I have to chew for each bit and then I calculate how many bites its going to take me to eat this entire meal" I mumbled embarrassed of what he might think about me now. When he didn't say anything i looked up and saw that he was breaking down his food as well. "Devin?" I asked him confused. "Well I can see you aren't compfortable with telling me this so from now on I'll break my food down as well than you don't feel so left out." he smiled at me.
