A light pink blush rushed over Henrys cheeks as he stared at Liam
"If you ever feel that way about yourself, always talk to me about it...don't do something drastic like that again...promise me you'll always talk to me...?"
Henry looked down, thinking for a minute. Then looked back up at Liam, and smiled a bit
"Okay...I promise..." he said

"He hates me, I know it..."
In the waiting room of the office, Drew and Jake were sitting beside each other. Jake was starting to feel guilty about revealing Henry's secret
"Jake, you did the right thing..." Drew said as he rubbed Jake's back
"What if he doesn't wanna talk to me anymore...?!"
Drew sighed, then held Jake's hand. This made Jake look up at him
"Jake, listen to me." Drew said sternly "Henry's your friend, right?"
Jake nodded
"Then he won't be mad..." Drew said "You did the right thing by telling us about this...imagine how much worse it would be if you didn't tell anyone..."
Jake hesitated before nodding again
"And if by some chance he is mad..." Drew continued "It won't last long...in the end, he'll thank you...okay...?"
Suddenly, the next thing Drew said caught Jake off guard
"Trust me, I...I would know..."
Jake gave Drew a confused look
"Huh...? ...b-babe, what are you talking about...?"
Drew hesitated, looking down. Then he sighed, and said;
"When...I was younger...b-before I met you...I felt the same way that Henry's feeling...I felt like I needed to loose weight so people could like me..."
Jake's eyes went wide
"How....long did that go on for...?" he asked
"A-About a week..." Drew said "I didn't tell anyone...but...somehow some kid found out...he told me he understood what it was like having a secret...and he...tried to help me....told me all the things to help me feel good about myself again..."
"D-Drew, I...I'm so sorry..." Jake said
"It's alright.." Drew said "Believe me, I feel a lot better about myself now...I've felt better about myself for years now, actually..."
Jake smiled, then asked;
"If you don't mind my asking, who....was the kid who helped you..."
Drew smirked a bit. "I think ya know him..." he said
Jake raised an eyebrow
"I'll give you a hint.." Drew said. He then gave Jake a cold, terrifying stare. One Jake was easily able to recognize. His eyes went wide
"Zander....?!"
"Bingo.." Drew said, pointing to Jake. Jake was in shock
"Wow..." he said
Drew nodded. "Don't ask how I can perfectly do that stare." he said
Jake smiled a bit, then hugged Drew
"I'm glad you...told me all this, Drew..." he said. Drew nodded, smiling a bit, and put his arm around Jake
"You know I love you for you, right...?" Jake said
