Not Who You think I Am •shyland•

Chapter 3

Ryland's POV

Where am I? Who's house is this? I turn around and see Shane staring at me. SHANE LEE YAW!! Why is Shane Lee Yaw in the same room as me.

"Ryland?" he says looking confused

"why am I here?" I ask

" you fainted in 7th hour" he says

"oh, but why would you care" I ask

" You could thank me" he says getting up

"thank you" I say

"your welcome" He says back

" did you get my stuff from the classroom?" I question

"yes, everything you had on you is here" he told

"ok" I said

"I do have question" he starts

"ok, go on" I say, I was getting nervous. I didn't know what he was going to ask.

"Do your parents abuse you" he asks. Oh my god did he see the bruises.

"No, my parents are very nice people, they would never do that. Why would you think that?" I ask

" I saw bruises." he mumbled

" how did you see them," I started

"wait did you- did you try to take advantage of me when I was sleeping" I shouted

" what no, you were sleeping and your shirt lifted, I went over to see if your whole stomach is covered in bruises, which it was. Might I add that your super skinny" He explained

"uh yeah it- it's.I- I just have a very very fast metabolism" I lied

"firstly no one has that fast of metabolism. I think. And you have some of the symptoms of anorexia" he said, after that I got really quiet. I knew he was right, about the anorexia (BTW if you know anyone with and anorexia or you have experienced it yourself I am NOT making fun of people with it)

It got quiet for like 5 minutes

"just so you know I do not have an eating disorder" I lied

" fine then prove it" he said standing up

" how?" I asked

"Your going to eat something" he explained grabbing my hand pulling me downstairs. He sat me down in a chair in the dining room. He went in the kitchen and started cutting up an apple. When he was done he came over and set down the plate of apples on the table.

"eat" he said

"I can't" I explained

"at least eat one"he insisted. I frowned and picked up one. I took one and took probably the smallest you would ever see.

"a bigger bite" He said

"uggh" I complained and I did. He them pushed the plate aside

"so why did you stop eating" He question

" It's complicated" I said

" please tell me" he pouted

"uggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh" I sighed. I didn't like telling anyone this story but it was personal

"I don't like telling the story" I mumbled putting my head down.

"why?" he asks

"I don't like who started it" I mumbled

" I won't judge" He promised

" I'll tell you one of my secrets" he told me, I gave him a look that told him to continue

he sighed and began to speak. "I'm the person you were texting"

I wasn't mad, well kind of because in our messages I said I would tell him my story if he told me who he was.

"ok I will tell you but it's going to be long and I will probably end up crying so just be aware, it's a pretty said story

" I was 14 year old when I got my first boyfriend, Dylan. He was nice at first, pretty popular. At first we were just friends but then he asked me to be his boyfriend. I wasn't aloud to date for some reason, oh boy I wish I had listened to my parents. He was the best boyfriend I could ask for but then about 4 months into the relationship he got abusive, mentally. He called me fat and ugly. Told me that I didn't deserve him or our relationship and before you say it, Shane I know I could easily tell my parents but it wasn't that easy. My parents knew this could happen so that's why they didn't let me date they also thought I was too young. 4 months after he was getting mentally abusive he became physical and that's what the bruises are from. I didn't tell my parents until three weeks ago. It's hard to get out of these relationships so my parents just decided to move. I didn't have any issues with that so in two we moved here. I didn't tell him I was moving and technically we didn't break up but I really hope I don't see him ever again. " I had tear running down my cheeks and my eyes were red. From what I saw I made Shane tear up

"wow" he started

" that's a lot, so that has happened over 2 years if your the same age as me" he finished

"yeah, I've been in that relationship for 2 years. I feel like I can't even call that a relationship. It was mostly just torture for me" I stated

"are you okay" he asked

"I'm just really tired" I say

" do you want to go upstairs and go to bed? You can tell your parents your spending the night, my mom won't mind" he asked

" ok, wait Shane I won't have anything to wear for school tomorrow" I say

"oh, you can wear on of my hoodies" He said walking up stairs with me

"ok"

"so you can sleep in my bed and I will sleep on the couch" He explained

"are you sure, I can sleep on the couch and you can have you bed. I feel like I'm being a burden" I stuttered

" Ryland, you not being a burden" he assured

" if you say so" I replied getting into his bed. When I laid down I instantly fell asleep. When I was falling asleep I remembered I forgot to tell Shane that I wake up in the middle of the night from my nightmares. I brush it off which I probably shouldn't have because if he wakes up at like 3:00 am he will see me up crying. uh why do I have to be so complicated?

That's all for this chapter it's currently 1:19 AM and I'm so tired ok bye. BTW if your wondering the bolded words are me talking bye ♡
