Rye's pov

I haven't spoken to Andy for the past 4 days. I have seen him at school but apart from that, we have avoided each other... Well he has tried to talk to me but I just kept walking. Seeing his face, so heartbroken and lost every time I leave him in the school hall, it hurts me but I made him feel like shit so I just tried to stay away... Until today, I couldn't stay away anymore.

I was walking with Harvey into the field for lunch, I was looking around and soon saw Andy, sitting under a tree by himself. I felt so bad so I couldn't stay away anymore. I walked over to him and sat next to him, we didn't say anything. "You okay?" I said quietly. He just nodded, he had bags under his eyes and he his face was tear stained. "Andy I'm so sorry" I said trying to sound sorry. He just nodded again, he hasn't even looked at me. "Andy please, say something" I asked and he looked up. "I'm sorry you met me" He said and got up to walk away but I didn't want him to go. I grabbed his hand and pulled him into a kiss, if he was gonna breakup with me I at least wanted one more kiss.

When I pulled away he was about to kiss me again but pulled himself back. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself" I said quietly. "Its okay, to be honest I needed it" He said back, we just looked out to the field. I had noticed he was getting skinny again, what have I done to this boy. "When was the last time you eaten?" I asked and he thought about it for a minute. "I think... Saturday" he said which shocked me. "Andy its Wednesday now, come with me" I said and grabbed his hand taking him to a Café just down the road from school. "Rye I don't want to" He said as we sat down.

"At this point Andy, I don't care if you breakup with me because you are sick and if making you eat some food will make us breakup then so be it" I said and ordered him a orange juice and a muffin. It came in a few minutes and I pulled some off and held it in front of his mouth. "Open" I said but he shook his head. "Andy open now" I said louder making him whimper and open. I put it in and a closed it. After a minute he chewed and swallowed. He had tears going down his face but I didn't care, he just needed some food. After it was all gone I made him drink his juice and then I took him to school.

At lunch, I sat with him, he still has not really said anything to me. I gave him my lunch, he started to cry again. "Andy come on, I will call Brooklyn if you don't eat the damn food" I said getting annoyed now. He started to eat it but still crying. I'm not gonna lie, I did feel awful but he was going to die so I needed to do something. After school was done, I messaged Lesley and asked if It was okay for me to come home, she said of course it was so I walked home with Andy.

"Your mean" he said looking down as we walked. "And your sick" I replied. "I hate you" he said. "And I love you" I replied, we didn't say anything. Once we got in, Andy ran straight to his room and I talked to Lesley.

"He is not well again" I said and he nodded. "I know, he as been sad since you left" She replied. "I just needed time, just to think about everything" I said and she smiled. "I know Rye, did he eat anything today?" She asked and I nodded. "Yes, he ate a muffin and then my lunch, I made him and yes he told me I was mean and he hated me but he needs food or he will die so I don't care what he thinks of me" I said. We heard a gagging noise. "Oh for fuck sake" I said and ran us stairs. I saw Andy leaned over the toilet trying to be sick. I picked him up with both arms and walked him out, he started crying but I just wanted him to be better.

"Please Rye, just once" He begged. "No Andy, I'm sorry" I replied and he started crying harder. He started to hit me, kick me and do all sorts of things but I just let him, he was angry and I know how that feels. Once he calmed down, he was just sobbing. "Andy" I said quietly. He crawled up to me and lay on my chest, making me lay down. "Please don't leave me again" He whispered through sobs. "I wont baby, I never will" I replied and ran my hand through his hair until he fell asleep.
