Falling For You (Gaurance) *Discontinued*

Open the flood gates!

*Trigger warning - I guess :/ *

Laurence's POV:

Garroth's face was red and his eyes were beginning to water. He kept his eyes focused on the ground as a last effort to hide his face.

For the first time, I noticed how loose and baggy his shirt and jeans were. I quickly evaluated the situation and came to a terrifying conclusion,

"Garroth," I hesitently asked, "Have you been starving yourself?

He squeezed his eyes shut, forcing two large tears to fall and shook his head violently.

"N-NO! I haven't I-I," He glanced at me nevously, "I'M BROKE!"

I staired at him for a few seconds. I know that that's not the real reason. His dad's ritch and even if he'd stopped giving Garroth an allowance his mother would never let him starve.

I gentely lifted his chin and turned his head to face me, brushing the tear on his cheek away with my thumb.

"It's allright. Whatever the real reason is, I won't get mad or laugh at it. I'm your friend! You can trust me."

He hick-uped and took a deep breath.

"Well, Um...." He looked back up at me and I nodded in encoragment, "Ever since you err.... left.... I've just been kinda... depressed. I've hardly left the house unless it's a special event or that one time Dante needed a door to be kicked open and mostly I've just been too sad to properly care for myself."

This was all my fault? I felt my eyes tear up and I quickly pulled him into a hug. Hugs are the best way to hide your face and I needed to be strong for him.

"You're going to be fine. It's all over now, we can start to get better." I comforted.

He gasped and sighed, "Yeah. Let's."

I half smiled. The only problem with what I said is that it was more aimed at myself then the both of us...

Two in one day whaaaaa? Yeah, yeah, I'm procrastonating on homework so you're lucky. (You just read 342 words)
