Another Sip (Style)

~ Chapter 11 ~

I sit in the area, it's better than nothing. Stan comes along a little surprised that I'm sitting there, but he sat down beside me anyways. He looked at me and turned away instantly. I'm so confused about all of this…

// Stan's POV //

I saw Kyle at my lunch table. I was kinda shocked, but also kinda happy because I'd get to be near him again. I sat down next to him.

I looked at him and I saw the gorgeous guy that was sitting right next to me. Of course I'm talking about Kyle. I instantly turn my head away because I don't want to make it obvious that I have feelings for him. I push my lunch tray away and I just put my head on the table. Kenny saw this and looked at me concerned.

"Stan? Aren't you going to eat?" I shake my head as a no and he looks disappointed that I'm not eating. "Stan comes on.. this is the 6th day in a row. You haven't even been eating at home, I'm getting worried.." I look at him and I just put my head back down with my arms between me and the table with my head laid down in my arms.

// Kyle's POV //

"Stan comes on.. this is the 6th day in a row. You haven't even been eating at home, I'm getting worried.." Kenny said. I was shocked. Stan just looked up at him, and put his head back down. "Wait what!?" I say. "Stan hasn't been eating for how many days?!" I look at Stan, who looks back up at me and lays his head back down.

Kenny looks at me and says, "He hasn't been eating lunch lately, and he's been skipping breakfast and dinner as well. I can't even talk him into eating.."

Stan starts gently banging his head on the table, and I stop him. "Stan please stop doing that" He looks upset that I stopped him.

School ends after a while and after I get home, I drop off my stuff and I go to Stan's house. I ring the doorbell and Sharon answers. "Oh! Well hello Kyle it's nice to see you again! Are you here for Stan?" She was still kind to me even though she knew me and Stan weren't friends anymore. I liked that she didn't start being a bitch to me because of it.

She lets me in and I walk up to Stan's room. I think about knocking, but who does that nowadays? Instead I just opened the door. I see Stan in the corner of the room drunk as fuck. I run over and I sit down in front of him. "Stan? Oh my fucking god.. Stan you need to stop doing this" he looks up at me and smiles. I guess he got his voice back. I heard him say, "What's a handsome guy like you doing here?" I felt my face turn red. "Stan, you aren't going to starve. I'm making you eat whether you like it or not." He looks at me and thinks. "Hmm… I think I'll go with starving" he says. Was he out of his goddamn mind?

"Stan, no." I get him up and I sit him in his bed, I take the alcohol and I throw it out. "No more of this, it's bad for you" He frowns, "but whyyy" he asks. "I just told you" I say. I go downstairs and I get him some food.

I walk upstairs and I go to Stan's room, Stan is just sitting on the bed with his head on his knees. I got him a glass of water. I gave him the glass and he just sits there holding it looking at it, then looking at me. "What do I do with this?" He asks. "You drink it." I say.

"Oh" he says. "Don't act like you don't know. What have you been drinking this whole month?" I ask. He looks around the room and can't find what he's looking for, before he looks back to me dating, "Alcohol" It's not shocking, but ONLY alcohol? "Stan, that's bad!" I make him drink the water and his voice sounds a bit better. I guess the alcohol affected his voice from dehydration.

"Now you're eating" I say. He looks up and he says "hm… no thanks!" I look at him kinda mad. "That wasn't a question.." I forced the food into his mouth, I wasn't going to give up. I know we aren't friends anymore, but I'm not gonna let him die.
