The Droplet Curse

29

A doctor is doing a medical check up on James, starting with calculating the young man's BMI that turns out to be 15 while the healthy number must be between 19 and 25. At the moment James is noted between very underweight and drastic underweight. The doctor sighs, looking at him. "Why do you do this to yourself?" he asks.

James looks away. "I'm scared, scared for food, I ... I tried to face it and get better.. but then this happened to Steve, and I just couldn't anymore. Too much fear at once to deal with, fear to lose Steve, fear to eat. So I made a decision, to deal with one thing, Steve couldn't be stopped from being in coma, food could be stopped." James sighs.

The doctor nods, noting the things down. "What about the lack of sleep?" 

"Stress." James replies.

The doctor notes it down and starts to shine into James' eyes, to test the reaction speed of his cheeper/pupil/ward (I don't know the right word). "Slow." he states, already expecting it.

James nods quietly. 

"Try to eat okay?" The doctor says.

"I already did!" James feels attacked because nobody does ever believe him at all.

A nurse interrupts "He's telling the truth." 

James looks at her grateful.

The doctor nods and notes it down. "I think I'm finished for now." He says, gives James a smile and leaves.

James sighs, laying down on bed. "It feels like prison here." 

"what do you mean?" The nurse asks.

"You hospital people lock me in a room." James mutters.

"I understand but you were in need to be separated from your boyfriend." 

"He's not my boyfriend." James says growling slightly. "I had a girlfriend, I'm not gay!" Snapping.

"I'll leave you alone..." The nurse backs away, she doesn't want to deal with a moody James.

James sighs, he closes his eyes and tries to catch some sleep but somehow it wouldn't work, he opens his eyes and stares forward through the window showing some treetops and a cloudy sky. Words stream through his head 'boyfriend' ' gay' 'hand stroking'  it makes him sigh, is it true? Has he fallen for Steve? Or is this just a desperate cry to grieve and deal with his loss of Sacha.

Suddenly the door opens widely. "Jaamessss, look." Luke says excitedly to bring the trio back together.

James turns around, sits up and looks over at Luke but instead he sees a wheelchair with a fat blob of a girl; Sacha

James starts to shake, he gasps "Sssssssaccchaasaa?" He struggled to bring out before his body goes in a complete shock causing him to collapse, falling onto the ground passed out.
