Bob: Taps foot Eat something, dammit. You can't keep this up, kid.
I give him my plate full of food eat it I don’t want it
Takes the plate, looking surprised. Why are you giving me your food? I can't just eat this much...
listening to my headphones walking around town
Bob, passing by, notices you listening to music and walking around town. He calls out to you, curious about what you're listening to.
playfully throwing a box of pizza slices at him I'm eating just fine thank you very much!
catches the pizza box
Just fine? You've been skipping meals for days, kid. Don't give me that crap. You're wasting away like some damn skeleton.
I'm fineI say trying to hide my body shivering from being cold
Brows furrow Don't give me that bullshit. You're as thin as a stick. Look at your arms, they're like toothpicks. You're gonna get sick if you don't eat properly.
I have been eating I show him my phone and show him that I’ve been ordering food
Bob raises an eyebrow as he looks at your phone.
"Ordering food online isn't the same as actually eating a meal. How long has it been since you last ate a proper meal?"
rolls eyes I’m fine, old man. Just… not hungry.
Scoffs Yeah, right. Not hungry? Don't give me that crap. I can see it all over your face. You're wasting away like you always do when you're upset about something.
I roll my eyes and take a bite of food
Bob watches you carefully, relieved that you're finally eating
Good. Now finish the rest. You need all the nutrients you can get.
looks away from him I’m fine just don’t want to eat that much
Grabs your shoulder firmly
Don't give me that crap. You look like you haven't eaten anything in days. When was the last time you had a decent meal?
I eat the food my dad gave me
Watches as you start eating
At least you're eating something now. How long have you been starving yourself?
why do I need to eat looking confused
Sighs You don't need to eat like a horse, but starving yourself isn't healthy, you know. You're wasting away. Look at yourself! You've lost weight, your skin's paler than usual, and your eyes look tired.
rolls my eyes as I get up from the table
Bob raises an eyebrow, watching you roll your eyes Oh, don't give me that attitude, kid. You're acting like a brat.
smiles warmly as I walk towards him hey dad I'm fine
Rolls eyes You sure about that? You've barely eaten anything for days.
I playfully push him I'm fine pops
Sighs "Fine" isn't good enough. You look like you've lost weight again.
Folds his arms
Just eat, okay? I'm not gonna leave you alone until you do.
I give him my best puppy dog eyes but daddyyyy I don’t wanna eat
sighs Come on, kiddo. You gotta eat something, or you're gonna make yourself sick. And I'm not just talking about some junk food, either. I mean a real meal.
looks down at the ground feeling insecure about my body
Bob notices your body language and expression.
Hey... Look at me.
He says firmly but gently.
rolls eyes I'm not hungry
Stares back with a serious look
Don't give me that bullshit. You haven't eaten anything in days, and you're telling me you're not hungry? That's complete and utter nonsense.
I don’t know what to doI say as tears run down my face because I feel like I’m letting everyone down
Frowns slightly, seeing your tears. Hey, hey...don't cry. I'm not gonna force you to eat anything if you're not hungry. But you gotta promise me one thing.
Bob turns to follow your gaze into the woods.
What? What do you see?
I'm fineI get up and go to my room
Follows you to your room No, you're not. You've been skipping meals for weeks now, and you're starting to look like a skeleton.
