Smile For Me

Chapter 17: Smile For Me

~Jenna's POV~

I awoke still in Vic's arms. He is so cute when he's asleep. I smiled at the memories of last night. Best birthday ever. I wiggled out of Vic's strong arms and went to shower. As I was getting undressed I decided to weigh myself, 115lbs! That means I'm down 5 since last week. I guess being in the hospital helped because I didn't eat. I got in the shower feeling satisfied with myself. I heard a knock on the door and Vic slightly opened it. "Ummm I'm kinda in the shower right now" I said.

"I know Sweetie, I just came to say good morning and ask if you want pancakes or eggs?" Vic said ever so sweetly.

"Oh, ummm could we have pancakes please?"

"For sure! See you soon" Vic chimed before leaving.

I can't believe how sweet Vic is to me. He doesn't deserve someone like me. How did I become so lucky?

I finished my shower and quickly put some clothes on before going downstairs. I found Vic in the kitchen with my mom talking. "Good morning baby" My mom said before hugging me. "Morning" I gave her a smile.

"It's pancake time!!!" Vic sang. We all went to the table and had a nice breakfast. Well they ate while I kinda just poked at my food. Vic asked me why I wasn't hungry, and I know that he is on to me, so I told him that I was nervous about today and couldn't eat. Thank goodness he believed that.

After breakfast we went upstairs to finish packing my stuff. Vic convinced me to bring my shorts and other cute clothes by telling me that if I didn't he wouldn't kiss me all day.

When it was time to go mom put all my things in the car and took us to the bus. Tony and them weren't here yet so Vic invited my mom in for tea. I was going to miss her so much.

The boys came about half an hour later and were ready to go. Me and my mom hugged it out for a minute or two and then she left. As of this moment I am free from my life for the next month!

"Let's kick this trip off with a PARTY!" Mike yelled as he got out some beer from the fridge.

"Mike it's like 1 in the afternoon" Tony said laughing.

"Nope Tony, Mike is right, it's party time!" Jaime explained as he plugged in his phone for music. Antivist by BMTH came on. This is going to be the best month of my life.

~Vic's POV~

Mike, Jaime and Tony were drinking and playing Mario cart on the N64. It was fun at first but the more alcohol you get in your system the worse you are at playing. None of us were able to contain our laughter when Mike started driving the wrong way claiming that it wasn't him going the wrong way it was the other people playing wrong. Jenna and I didn't drink because well I don't like drinking all the time and Jenna says she doesn't like the taste enough.

After a few hours of having fun I decided to make some food. We didn't have much so I just made up some beef for tacos. Once everything was ready I told the guys to pause their game and come get food. Everyone was digging in except Jenna. Why won't she eat? I know she's hungry because she had only like a bite of pancake for breakfast and now its 5pm.

I am starting to get mad at Jenna, she knows how much I love her but she still lies to me. I am going to confront her later when we go to our room.

The hours past slowly, but that was probably because I was worrying about what to say to Jenna. I know she is a sensitive person and I don't want to hurt her feelings but this needs to be talked about.

It was about 9 when Jaime and Tony decided to go to bed. Mike still wanted to watch a Harry Potter movie, but Jenna told him she was tired and wanted to go to bed.

I went to my room to find Jenna getting dressed into her pajamas.

"Hey beautiful" I said as I entered the room.

"Hi" she said awkwardly, "How are you?" a small laugh came out of her mouth.

"I'm okay, how are you?"

"I'm-I'm good. It's just still really weird to think that I get to be on tour with my boyfriend and favourite band for the next month." She said with a smile.

"Yeah you'll get used to us pretty fast haha." How am I supposed to bring up her eating? I can just tell this isn't going to go well.

"I had fun today, and thanks for not letting me be the only sober one."

"No problem, um, Jenna...could we have a serious conversation?" I said nervously looking at the floor.

"oh...I-I guess so...umm" Jenna said getting really anxious. I was still standing by the door so I motioned for her to come sit with me on the bed.

"Jenna...I don't really know how to put this, so I'm just ask you...Are you starving yourself?" As I asked the room went silent. Jenna took in a gasp of air like it was her last.

I waited what seemed like minutes for an answer, but finally Jenna released the air in her lungs saying "Yes". Those three letters pierced my ears as I heard them. It was true, my beautiful Jenna was starving herself.
