This Hell Called Life (an Oliver Sykes love story)

Chapter 3

The whole night new and Oli were just telling jokes and playing games and everything else. He let me see how many hair ties I could put in his hair. The answer was 65. We took a bunch of pictures together I even took some when he was taking the hair ties out. We watched The Nightmare Before Christmas and a lot of other movies on Netflix. We stayed up until like three in the morning then fell asleep. I was laying on the ground with my feet on the bed and Oli was laying so he was my pillow.  I woke up to Sammy walking on my chest and pawing at my face in attempt to wake me up. It worked. I smiled as a thought came to mind. I picked up the Kitty kissed her head then put her on Oli's chest.

"Huh? What's going on, oh Hey cat?" He said in the most adorable morning voice I've ever heard. He pet the cat then looked at me and smiled.

"Good morning beautiful." He poked my stomach.

"Morning handsome." I replied as I poked his face. I moved the cat and put her on the bed as I laid on top of Oli and just hugged him. He just wrapped his arms around me and laughed. We stayed like that for awhile before we realised that the house was a mess and my mother would be home in a few hours so we got up and started cleaning. Oli only lived a couple houses down from me so I was just going to walk him home.

"I'm hungry are you hungry?" Oli asked as he threw away the empty juice boxes and sat on the counter. Well of course I'm not hungry I'm Fucking starving but I can't eat too much because I'll get sick so I just shook my head.

"If you're hungry I'll make you something but I'm not hungry." I bit my lip and looked at the ground. He looked at me and jumped off the counter.

"Are you sure you didn't eat anything last night or yesterday. Are you okay?" He hugged me as he spoke.

"Yes Oli I'm sure and I'm okay are you okay?" I talked quickly. He just laughed a little.

"Yes I'm okay but I'm a little worried... and hungry." Now it was my turn to laugh. I let go and went to the fridge and got the eggs. Oli quickly ran over taking the items out of my hands.

"No no no. I will make it myself and I will get you to eat." He poked my stomach I wasn't going to argue so I sat on the counter on the other side of the room. It was funny to watch him cook I don't know why but it was. After a couple of minutes he asked where the plates were and I handed him two and two forks. He set the plates of food on the kitchen table and made me sit down next to him and eat. I have to admit I was starving and the eggs looked so good.

"Cmon Zoe Please for me?" He gave me his puppy dog eyes. I immediately felt guilty. I guess I have a reason to eat now. A sigh escaped my lips as I grabbed the fork and stabbed a piece of egg and took small bites.

"Yay Thank you!" He smiled and hugged me. I looked over at his plate and saw it was empty. Damn he must have been hungry. I soon finished a few minutes after and because Oli cooked I did the dishes. I looked at the clock and saw it was only noon. We laid on the couch for a half hour before his mom called him and said get had to be home by two.

"Wanna go for a walk?" He asked after a couple minutes. I yawned and nodded my head as I stood up and stretched. My shirt went up a little as I put my arms over my head and cracked my back. I completely forgot Oli was sitting in front of me until he gasped and stopped me from pulling my shirt back over my stomach.

"Zoey..." he said under his breath. He started crying and hugged me tight. "I knew you didn't eat much but... I didn't think it was this bad... " I started crying too because he was and I thought he might leave me.

"It's not your fault... It's mine...  I get it if you don't wanna be friends anymore... everyone left because I'm just 'the anorexic girl who craves attention more than food' all of my other friends left me when they found out." I sat on the couch and looked at the ground.

"No. I'm not going to leave you just because of this. It's not your fault its not anyone's fault. I'm sorry." He cried as he hugged me. "From now on I am making it my life mission to make you better." He smiled through the tears.

"Thank you so much Oliver you honestly have No idea how much that means to me." I cried harder at the thought of someone caring about me. We stopped crying after a few minutes but we didn't stop hugging. We got his stuff from my room then started the Five minute walk to his house. I wasn't going to walk in my pajamas so I changed into my half black half red skinny jeans and My Chemical Romance shirt. Because it was December I grabbed my leather jacket and put on my Combat boots. Maybe I'd stop at Austin's house for a few hours. Austin was the town stoner and we talked while we smoked and drank but he wasn't my friend. I couldn't let Oli know everything so I grabbed my keys and phone and walked outside. He had his bag and jacket on his arm.

"Oliver Scott please put on your jacket it's fucking freezing out here!" I shivered just looking at him in nothing but a t shirt and jeans.

"Whatever you say Zoey Rose." He rolled his eyes and threw me his bag so he could put on his jacket. When he had it on I threw his bag back at him and laughed as it hit him and fell to the ground.

"Ahaha very funny." He said sarcastically and picked it up. I let him walk a few steps in front of me before running and jumping on his back.

"To Narnia peasant!" I screamed and pointed my finger forward.

"I'm not even going to ask." He laughed and kept walking. When we got to his house he put me down and and hugged me.

"I will keep my promise Zoey Rose Davis." He whispered and walked away.

"Until tomorrow Dear!" He said as he bowed and kept walking.

"Yes indeed Sir!" I bowed as Well then walked to the end of the road and turned right.

Austin lived the next street over and was always home on Saturdays. I didn't have to worry about anything happening because he's gay and in a very serious relationship with his boyfriend Alan. As soon as I heard he had a boyfriend named Alan I freaked because I love Of Mice & Men. When I made it to his house I knocked and stepped back. Austin knew about my Anorexia but didn't make it big deal about it. He just told me to keep trying and to not give up. After a few minutes of waiting in the cold he finally answered and looked surprised to see me.

"Hey Zoey haven't seen you in awhile. Guessing You're here to smoke a joint and talk?" He always listened and I did the same with him.

"Yeah its been awhile Austin nothing's wrong just felt like getting high." I answered as he stepped back and let me in.

"Well darling you came to the right place." He smiled brightly. I loved just hanging out with Austin and Alan because they're nice but they're not my friends.

"Hey Alan guess who's here." Austin said as we went into his basement. Alan gasped and squeaked loudly as he turned around and saw me.

"Yay Zoey! We missed you! Guessing You're here to smoke with us?" He hugged me for awhile. I just nodded and sat in the chair that I usually sat in. I usually came over here when something was wrong and I needed to talk to someone other than my cat or the teachers at school but its been a couple months and I missed just being here. My mother doesn't know but she wouldn't care. I saw in her old photobooks she used to be quite to smoker and drinker. She still is but... whatever...
