All For You ♡reddie♡

"

"eddie, you have severely lost weight within the past few months, and you are now in the early stages of anorexia nervosa, do you know what that is?" eddie nodded his head in response and began to sweat. "and we obviously can't let you out of here until your are stable again. right now you weigh eight-five pounds on the dot, and we need to get that up to about one hundred twenty pounds, or one hundred pounds since you do have a naturally lean figure and do not have a lot of muscle. with that being said, we will be watching your every move, so anytime you have to go to the bathroom, or get dressed, or take a shower, we will have someone stand outside the bathroom door. this is not because we don't trust you, it's just part of the healing process here. the door has an alarm, so if you try to open it up with out a badge, then all the nurses on this floor will be alerted.
"you will receive four meals a day, and you are certainly not required to eat every crumb on your plate these first few days, but the more the merrier. now if you are a quick healer and you cooperate with us, you should be out of here in two months, tops. if not then you could be here for a little over a year." eddie nodded again comprehending. what have I done...
"now on to the next part. I have a few questions for you, and if you have any questions for me then, feel free to ask." eddie pressed his lips together and tired to prepare himself for everything coming his way.
"do you feel depressed, or has anything recently happened in the past three or four months that might have caused you to change your eating pattern?"
"I...uh...went through some things."
"eddie your going to have to be honest and be detailed, the only way we can help is if you talk to us."
"...I was struggling with self identity. I didn't really want to go anywhere because of it and I just kind of spent a lot of time thinking and doing my homework."
"was there anyone who maybe, made you struggle with this self identity? some bullies at school or a family member?"
"my...best friend, richie." eddie spoke holding back tears.
"why do you think richie provoked this behavior?"
"doctor I really don't want to answer because I don't think...you would...be accepting."
"eddie, this information stays between me, you, and the rest of the specialists."
"how many specialists?"
"there are three of us in all."
"well, im...im gay, and richie is the boy who I fell for, my life long friend. for the past three or fours moths I have been trying to figure out why I acted differently from all the other boys, and why I suddenly would get so nervous when he was around. and it was because I was...ya know."
"eddie I am one hundred percent accepting of you, now that we have the major part of this out in the open, we can get through this a lot more smoothly."
"thank you.." eddie mumbled, shaking slightly.

eddie flipped through the channels on the TV, soon realizing there were only five to choose from. he switched to the channel that was playing an old black and white movie, and mindlessly looked around. he pulled his focus back to the movie and found out it was a romance movie. he watched as the girl shyly took the rose from the boy who had his arm wrapped around her shoulder. they sat on the hood of their car in front of a beautiful lake with a few other couples. the boy gazed at the girl longingly, holding her close, never wanting to let go. he began to smile as he watched the beautiful girl watch the sun set over the mountains. eddie began smiling at such the sweet scene, and wished that richie had been here to hold him close, much like the boy in the movie.
a knock came at the door, and bev slowly opened the door and popped her head in. "hey spaghetti, how are you feeling?" she greeted with a big smile on her face. eddie returned the smile, genuinely happy to see bev. "wishing I wasn't here, but I don't think I want to be back at school either." bev giggled and pulled up a chair next to eddie, much like the doctor had. she handed him a small black box with a white bow on top. "bev what did you get me?" eddie wondered, touched at the thought of bev's consideration. "open it up and you'll see." She stated obviously, anxiously waiting for him to reveal her gift. he slowly slipped the lid off the box and set it off to the side. eddie peeked inside, and pulled out the bottle of baby blue nail polish. "this is cute, and im not a big fan of blue." eddie complimented as he observed the bottle. he set it next to him on the bed and leaned over to give bev a hug.
the two talked and talked about anything and everything. bev gave him the scoop on everyone at school, and eddie told her his current state. eddie appreciated bev's company, he appreciated how she distracted him from the disaster around him, and cheered him up.
