Chapter 6.

KELLINS POV
I looked around Vic's apartment in amazement. It wasn't exactly the most expensive apartment in California, but the way he had modified it was brilliant.
It had guitars hanging off holders on every wall, and skull designed lights shining over framed posters of bands like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden.
There was a massive Blink 182 poster on a door.
"This is so cool." I whispered in amazement.
He chuckled, "It's not Buckingham palace, but I like it."
I smiled at him and followed him to a couch.
He sat down and patted the cushion next to him, telling me to take a seat.
I sat down next to him, shuffling awkwardly.
"So..?" He said.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Come on, we made a deal. You have to tell me." He said, sternly.
I sighed and leant back against the cushion.
"Kellin." He groaned.
"Okay! Okay.." I muttered, frustrated.
He let out a breath and smiled at me encouragingly.
"What do you wanna know?" I asked.
"Gerard. Tell me about Gerard." He demanded.
I thought for a second, "Well, we've been dating for about six months, he immediately wanted me to move in, and seeing as I had no where else to stay, I went with him, I-"
Vic cut me off, "Wait, you moved in with him, not because you love him, but because you had no where else to go?"
I shook my head and frowned, "N-no, that came out wrong, I moved in because I love him but even if I didn't want to, I didn't really have much choice." I explained.
Vic nodded in understanding.
"So how do you think yours and Gerard's relationship is?" He asked.
I shrugged, "Good, we do argue sometimes but I guess most couples do."
"What do you argue about?" He questioned.
I raised an eyebrow, wondering why he thought that was any of his business.
But I answered anyway, "Uh, He worries, I guess. He's quite over protective."
Vic nodded.
"Anything else?" Vic asked.
I shook my head, "No, not really."
"So he doesn't.. you know, hurt you?" Vic murmured.
I laughed nervously, looking away, "W-what? No"
"Kellin.." Vic said.
"I said no." I told him.
He looked at me, disbelievingly.
"Look, I don't know what you think he does b-" I started.
"Kellin!" He yelled, making me jump up off the couch in shock.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.." He whispered.
I sat back down, "Y-you didn't.." I lied, shakily.
"Kellin, I know you're lying." He frowned.
"You didn't scare me I swear." I said quickly.
"No, not that. About Gerard.. I know he hurts you."
I looked at the floor, knowing I couldn't lie my way out of this.
"Kells.." He whispered, making me blush hearing him say my nickname.
"How bad does he hurt you?" Vic asked.
I shrugged, trying to avoid eye contact.
"Kellin?" Vic asked, turning my head back towards his.
I stood up, reluctantly moving my shirt up, showing my bruised and cut up ribs.
His eyes went wide and he gasped loudly.
"Oh my god.." He whispered.
I quickly pulled my shirt down, my cheeks heating up.
He probably just saw the layers of fat around my stomach.
He probably hates me.
Oh god.. he does doesn't he?
"Kellin.. I.." He stuttered, tears glazing over his eyes.
I looked back at him, letting tears slip down my face.
"Does.. does he cook for you?" He asked.
I nodded, "Sometimes I do though."
He'd be able to see past this lie, it's easy to lie about eating food when I look as fat as I do.
He raised an eyebrow.
"What?" I asked, nervously.
"Kellin.. you're so thin. Like, abnormally thin." Vic breathed.
I scoffed and shook my head.
He frowned at me.
I rolled my eyes and pointed to a bowl of cookies on the table.
"Okay, Can I have one of these?" I asked.
Maybe this will make him think I eat.
Vic looked surprised, "Oh, Sure, yeah."
"Love a good cookie." I smiled, dread filling the pit of my stomach as I rammed it in my mouth.
He smirked at me and shook his head, chuckling slightly.
I probably looked absolutely disgusting, but if it got Vic off my case, it would be worth it.
"Can I use your toilet? I'm bursting." I said, my mouth muffled with the cookie, which I refused to swallow.
"Yeah, just over there." He laughed, pointing to a door with a Nirvana sticker on it.
I smiled at him and walked to the toilet, locking the door and leaning over the toilet, spitting all the bits of cookie out.
I shivered in disgust, turning the tap on and washing my mouth out before spitting it back in the sink.
I sighed and avoided my reflection before flushing the toilet and washing my hands.
I knew I was too fat to be seen as someone who starves themselves.
I painted a fake smile on my face and opened the door, seeing Vic sat on the sofa lighting a candle.
"Hey." He smiled.
"Hi." I said with a small laugh.
He looked at the candle, "It's meant to smell like Christmas berries apparently."
I chuckled and shook my head.
Vics smile suddenly went, "Does Gabe know about Gerard?"
I shook my head, "No, and I intend to keep it that way."
He shook his head, "He's worried.."
"Yeah, and if you tell him, he'll worry more."
"It will put his mind to rest Kells.."
I shook my head, "No, I told him about something before and it just made everything worse. He constantly worried about me, I think it drove him slightly insane." I said with a small chuckle.
After I told Gabe about my addiction with self harm, he almost went crazy with worry, it was concerning.
I can't tell him I started again, it would push him over the edge.
Vic gave me a sympathetic smile, "You want dinner?"
I shook my head, "I know this seems rude, but Can I just go to bed?" I asked.
He smiled and nodded, "Sure, I'll show you to your room."
I thanked him and kissed his cheek gently before leaving to go to bed..

Ciao, ik this was bad but I was bored so I updated.
I know I keep updating like.. every day but I really like writing this😂
And also, I wanted to quickly say something about something I saw today that kinda pissed me off.
Seeing as this story is about eating disorders I guess it kinda links, but I saw someone write something like "Only thin people can have eating disorders" which is absolute bullshit. If you're average weight, or even over weight and you starve, purge etc, regularly that is an eating disorder for fucks sake..
(There's also ones where you over eat everything and stuff but they weren't talking about that)
Sorry, I was just kinda pissed and thought I'd write about it😂
Soooo,
Hope you had/have a good day,
Stay safe,
And I'll see y'all in the next chapterrrreee
Byeee👋🏻
