everyone watched as he staggered down the hall way. his face was pale and he body was nothing but skin and bone. he swallowed hard and watched how everyone watched him in disgust, yet not a single person wanted to help him. but he didn't want just anyone's help, not his families or his friends...but his. all eddie wanted richie, he wanted to call richie his and hear him laugh after he teased eddie. he wished that richie could see how much pain he was in, emotionally and physically.
eddie hasn't eaten in days, for he had no appetite. the only thing flowing through his system was some water. today was the seventh day that eddie hadn't put anything in his body, and it was slowly shutting down. as soon as he would go home, he would do his homework, and sleep. he slept off the pain.
eddie continued to stagger down the hall, and eventually made it to his first class. he stood at the threshold of the door and watched as everyone stared at him. he looked over to his teacher who had a grave look of concern on his face. "eddie are you-" was all the boy heard before the world around him went black."im sorry to inform you mrs.kasprak, but your son is going to have to stay under heavy monitoring until he is at a stable weight."
"well how much does he weigh?"
"he's about eighty-five pounds, and a stable weight would be somewhere close one hundred twenty pounds for his age and height. have you noticed any odd eating patterns or maybe changes in mood?"
"no not really, he comes home and does his work and then sleeps, then he'll get up and I can hear him rustling around in the kitchen." lied his mother as she never payed any mind to her son except for when he needed to take his medication and when he left the house.
"okay, well like I said he will be under heavy monitoring for a while."
"how long is a while?"
"anywhere between a month and year, depending on how he cooperates."eddie felt pain all over his body. he was achy and weak, and felt helpless. he wanted to get back up and keep moving, but just couldn't. he felt the medicines flow through his body from the IV's and slowly slipped back out of conciseness.
many hours later he was woken up by a sweet nurse who held his hand and spoke sweetly into his ear. "eddie, it's time to wake up, you have to take your medication." informed the sweet nurse. eddie slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. he examined his surroundings and saw that he was obviously in a hospital. he looked down at his thin pale arms and saw the IV's pumping the medicine through him, and the white hospital gown that covered his bony body. "how are you feeling?" asked the nurse that eddie hadn't saw yet. eddie slowly turned his head over to the sweet girl who patiently waited for a response. "ive been better." eddie answered with a scratchy throat. the nurse prepared his medications and eddie took them one by one instead of all at once like he had before. "the doctor will be in soon to talk to you, i'll see you later." informed the nurse. she rubbed eddie's thin arm slowly in more than just a comforting friendly way, and eddie quickly realized what was going on. "listen, im not interested." he stated flatly, gaining back some of his voice. "I think I could change your mind pretty quick.." the nurse whispered as she moved her hand down towards eddie's thigh. eddie grabbed her wrist weakly and moved it off of the bed. "im really not interested at all, especially in women." eddie hinted with a serious expression. he looked down at his nails and realized that all of his nail polish had rubbed off. oh... the nurse gave him a confused look and cocked her head to the side, trying to appear cute. "im gay, now please leave." eddie finally stated in an irritated tone. "well, good luck in hell faggot." she remarked as she grabbed the tray of medication and stormed out of the door.
as she walked out the doctor walked in, giving the nurse an odd look. he walked over to eddie's bedside and began flipping through many papers on his clip board. "before you start, can I request a different nurse, she was giving me a hard time." eddie requested sweetly. "of course, whatever we can do to make your stay comfortable." the doctor replied with a smile. he flipped through his papers for just a moment more, then pulled up a chair next to eddie.
"eddie, im going to go over everything with you, then im going to ask you some questions." began the doctor kindly.
