Introduced (Reece Bibby fanfiction)

Chapter 26

It was still dark when I woke up. Reece had been trying to wake me up.

"Reece what are you doing? It's 2am" I said, sitting up and rubbing my eyes. He sat next to me, leaning against the wall. There was a packet of Jaffa Cakes and a hot chocolate on the bedside table that he had brought up.

"Sorry, we've only just come up to bed but I've been texting your stepbrother. He told me that around about a year ago you had anorexia and were skipping meals and starving yourself. Is it true?" He said, putting his arm around me and pulling me close to him. I nodded.

"Why babe? Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. I leant against him and sighed.

"I thought I was over it. I thought I was fine. It's like when I stopped self harming for a while and that suddenly crept back to me. I've felt the urges to skip meals for a while now but I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to worry you. I'm sorry" I said. I was annoyed at myself for skipping meals and I didn't want to complain to Reece about my problems again because that's all I seem to do but it's one way to let everything out, which I felt I needed to do.

"Don't be sorry it's okay. I just wish you'd told me earlier, as soon as you felt bad. Please try and eat though because it won't do you any good if you starve yourself" Reece said, kissing my forehead.

"I'm not just sorry for that Reece. I offload all of my problems onto you and I feel so bad because I know you worry about it. I feel like I'm being too awkward and causing loads of problems when I don't mean to." I reached for the hot chocolate and drank a bit so it didn't go cold before sitting back next to Reece.

"Of course I'm going to worry Alice. I love you to pieces and I hate seeing you sad and seeing you skip meals and hurt yourself. It kills me inside but I just want you to be okay and I want you to tell me everything so I can help you. Letting it all out this way is better than letting it all out through cutting and I'd much rather you talk to me about it. I love you so much. Now eat those Jaffa Cakes before I do please and let's get some sleep" he said, passing me the packet. I opened it and began eating them just to make Reece happy and drank the hot chocolate. We both got into bed and he gave me a kiss on the lips before turning over and going to sleep.

A/N

Quite a small chapter but it's again just a filler. Sorry if the plot isn't great but I'm struggling for ideas at the minute. If you have any suggestions or a plot you would like me to write more about (stuff with James, etc) feel free to comment and I'll take them on board.

Also thank you for the comments from people saying that they like the story because it means a lot. I've gained a lot of reads which I'm really surprised and grateful about because I really thought this fanfic would flop so thanks to everyone reading it. Love you all! x
