I know you better -Shoey-

Chapter 4: Why so skinny?

{Joeys Pov}

After we were done with all that romantic stuff, Shane handed me my plate and grabbed his own. He just kinda poked at it.

Joey: Hey Shaney.. Why are you so skinny?

{Shanes Pov}

Sh*t. Why does he have to know everything?

Shane: Soo what are we gonna do about the whole loving eachother thing?

I tried to change the subject.

Joey: Stop trying to change the subject! You know how much I hate that.

I do. I do know how much he hates that.

Shane: I'm just not hungry that's all.

Joey: You used to love pizza... Is something wrong?

Shane: Nothings wrong! I'm fine.

Joey: Shane...

I guess I never told him about my anorexia. It came up about a year ago. I'm just fat. I'm still fat. Fat fat fat fat fat.

Shane: Why are you so worried? I'm not that skinny.

Joey: You look like skin and bones. You are skinny.

Shane: You're skinny. I'm fat. Why do you keep asking me this question? I'm just not hungry, okay?

Joey: Okay then. Just, you can tell me anything.

Whatever.

Shane: Okay, thanks anyways.

I tossed my piece of pizza in the trash, and Joey threw away his plate.

Shane: Soo.. What are we gonna do about the whole loving eachother thing?

Joey: I don't know.

I rocked my self back and forth on my feet. And looked at the ground.

Shane: Wanna go on a date or some sh*t tommorow?

I wasn't really expecting him to say yes.

Joey: That sounds awesome!

I looked back up at him and smiled. He's so cute.

Shanes mom: Joey your mom said it was okay if you wanted to stay the night!

She yelled from down stairs.

Shane: Do you wanna?

I asked him. He nodded excitedly.

Joey: Sounds great! Thanks!

Joey yelled back. I smiled at him.

A couple hours passed, and we caught up. I told him how my cutting disorder started, and how it had only gotten worse. I was sent to a mental hospital for two months, and the doctors had told me if I kept cutting the way I did, I would've died in a couple of weeks from loss of blood over a prolonged period. He looked like he was about to cry. I told him How my mom pretty much took away ever razor, pencil sharpener, and anything pointy away from me. How she blocked certain 'Depressing' content, and how she kept all the kitchen knives in a locked box.

Joey: Are you an anorexic, too?

I darted my eyes down. I didn't want him to ask me that.

Shane: Yeah..

I finally admitted to someone.

Shane: Please don't tell anyone! I don't want to go back. They'll force a tube up my nose if they knew.

Joey: I wouldn't do that. You know that.

I felt tears come down my face. My life had totally turned when Joey left.

Shane: I missed you so f*cking much.

Joey: I missed you too.

Joey leaned over and wiped the tears from my cheeks. He kissed me on the lips. His were soft and smooth and felt like heaven.

Joey: I forgot pajamas.

Joey said when he pulled away.

Shane: That's okay. Wanna borrow a shirt?

Joey: Sure.

I walked to my dresser and pulled out a XXL 'Black Veil Brides' shirt and tossed it to Joey. He took off his pants and shirt, and threw the shirt on. He looked pretty bad*ss. I threw on a plain black shirt and crawled beside Joey on my bed.
