To The Bone// O.D

The smell of freshly cooked hamburger reached his nose as he woke up, keeping his eyelids closed as he let out a shaky breath. He was used to it, the denying of the food or eating little to nothing. He couldnt help but wonder what his own problem was and why he didnt want to swallow down that grease drenched food down his throat. Louis ran his tongue over his bottom lip that was cracking from dryness before biting into it and opening up his exhausted eyes. The blue was almost gray looking as it mixed with his lack of nutrients, signalling the basic need for food.

  "Food's ready! Also Lottie is here!" Mark yelled from the kitchen, hoping to get the young man to get up and eat. Louis let out a hum, mostly to himself, as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. The brunette pushed his rumpled fringe from his eyes before pulling himself up from the bed and heading towards the kitchen.

  Getting to the table was hard enough but he smiled as Lotties bright blue eyes met his own dreary ones. "Hey, sis!" He sat down, watching the blonde push her long hair away from the large dangling hoops connected to her ears. She was dressed in a salmon pink top with simple jeans, but her makeup made up for the bland outfit. "Heya, Lou." She smiled, munching on the fries stacked on her plate. He watched her eat the fattening foods for a moment before meeting her gaze again, Mark setting a plate in front of him.

Louis couldnt help but scrunch his nose, and shrug, picking up a fry snd chewing on it tastelessly. It didnt appeal to him as much as he thought it would as he chewed on it "Do you wanna know how many calories are in these things?" He stated, finishing one fry and leaning over the table with bad posture.
 
  Lottie took a bite of her sandwitch with a light amused snort "honestly id rather not. " Mark was leaned against the counter, watching them eat before realizing Louis had only ate a couple fries. He let out a huff, pushing his glasses up once more "Your mother is letting you stay here so you get better...eat Louis." He stated, nodding his head towards the malnourished males plate. "If you wont try to get better-"

"She'll kick me out again? Send me to another shitty rehab that only keeps me for 7 days?" Louis let out a sarcastic smirk, hoping he had set Marks words straight instead of having to listen to them.

"Actually, theres this place not far from here, they'll take you in. Its not a rehab but moreso just a safe place. Refuge almost. " Mark lightened his tone, shrugging with a smile as he turned his eyes towards Lotties finished plate.

Louis looked taken back by his words, knawing on his bottom lip that was already cracked and bleeding. Only making it worse, of course, he kept silent as Lottie and Mark watched him intently. "If you cant help yourself here, the least you can do is try this place. " Mark suggested again, gruffly, picking up lotties finished plate before heading over to the sink and dumping the glass in.

The brunette sighed, putting his index finger and thumb around his wrist. Good, small. "Yea, sure. Ill go." He stated, earning a bright smile from Mark while lottie just let out an amused giggle.
