Mark's POV
We walked downstairs.
I was greeted by my mom. I kissed her cheek.
There was a big breakfast waiting for me and Jack.
Everyone was sitting at the table talking.
I sat next to Jack. I saw him eating little pieces of the food.
I frowned but I didn't say anything.
"Hey Mark, do we have football practice today?" Josh asked me.
"Yeah I think so." He nodded.
Before everyone was done eating, Jack got up and threw his food away. I frowned more.
Jack did seem like he was getting smaller in size. Was he starving himself?
Jack's POV
I got up and threw the remainder of my food away.
If I eat to much I'll puke. I've had this problem since I was little.
I saw Jennifer washing the dishes. I went over to help her.
She looked up at me. I smiled. She did the same. "Not hungry?" She asked.
"Y-Yeah." I don't want people to know about my bulimia. Only my parents know.
"Did your bulimia kick in honey?" She whispered. "H-How do y-you know?" I asked worriedly.
"Clam down, your parents told me where your medicine was incase they're gone." She laughed.
I sighed. "Don't let Mark know, ok? He'll get really worried." She nodded.
"Where exactly are my pills?" I laughed. She did the same. "Upstairs in their room. First drawer." I nodded.
I made my way upstairs.
I opened my parents door and walked in.
They weren't home. They leave early in the morning and come home late at night.
I opened the drawer and immediately saw them.
I grabbed two and walked downstairs. I got myself a cup of water and quickly took them when no one was looking at me.
I put the cup down.
I took out my phone and saw it was time for school.
"Boys, it's time for school!" Jennifer yelled.
I walked out of the kitchen and got my shoes on.
So did everyone else.
I grabbed my backpack and waited for them.
"Ready?" Mark asked as he put a hand on my waist. "Ready." I responded.
He smiled and we all walked to school.
Me and Mark walked hand in hand.
We finally reached school. Wow, that's the first time I didn't call it hell.
That proves a lot.
We all walked in.
I went to my locker that was sadly not near Mark's.
But on the bright side, it was right next to Dan and Phil's locker.
Dan confronted me with Phil following. "Hey Jack this might sound weird but what were you taking this morning? It looked like pills."
My heart stopped. "I-I-I." I couldn't speak. This shouldn't seem like a big deal but I don't want people to know about it.
What if Mark wouldn't want to be with me because of this?
I started to breathe faster. Phil put his hand on my shoulder. "J-Jack, are you ok?" He asked worriedly. "Y-Yeah."
"I didn't mean to upset you Jack. I'm sorry." Dan apologized.
I shook my head. "It's fine. I have an eating disorder and I have to take pills. If I eat to much I'll puke it up basically. It's called bulimia."
I finished.
"P-Please don't tell anyone. Even Mark.
"Ok." They agreed. I smiled.
Then, I felt my stomach drop, oh god
