Another Sip (Style)

~ Chapter 11 ~

I saw him walk in and sit on my bed. He realizes that I looked kinda drunk. I continued drinking the "apple juice" and he realized something was off when I started to speak. "Kyleee?" I said drinking more "apple juice" he snatched it from my hands and sniffed the drink to see what it was.

"Stan!" He says, "is this alcohol?!" He takes it away from me and puts it on the ground. "Kyle that was minnneee" "No, you can't have it, you've already gotten drunk."

// Kyle's POV //

"No, you can't have it, you've already gotten drunk." I say. He frowns. He pats beside him on the bed for me to lay down, so I lay down beside him. "Stan you need to stop drinking, it's really bad for you" I say. "Aww.." he says sadly.

But then I realized, I hadn't brought a sleeping bag or anything, so where do I sleep?

"Um Stan? Where am I gonna sleep tonight because I kinda forgot to bring a sleeping bag."

"Well I mean you can sleep on my bed with me" he answers, still drunk.

I think about it, and it's better than sleeping on the hard floor or downstairs where I'd most likely wake up to a fight, plus I needed to be around Stan to make sure he's not doing anything bad. Or in that case, drinking anything bad.

"This is so gay dude" I say. I look at the time and it's 11:56. "We're going to bed now, you aren't going to school tired" I say.

"Finneeeee" he replies. I laid the cover over both of us, and I realized that we were face to face. I kind of blushed.. Why am I blushing so much when he's around?.. I feel a hand on the side of my waist, and I realize it's Stan, I start to blush even more.

He starts to pull me near him and I feel myself blush even more. Why am I blushing so much!? I mean.. Do I have a crush on Stan? No, no, I couldn't! I couldn't have a crush on him. I just couldn't.

Besides that, I don't know what Stan will be like tonight, because whenever he's drunk and he falls asleep, he ends up in weird spots in his house.

// Kyle's POV //

(Mega cringe 😭💀)

I woke up to see that the place Stan was, was on top of me sleeping with his head in my chest. I started blushing like crazy, and even though I didn't have a mirror with me, I was pretty sure it was very visible. I look at the time, 6:12. I woke up Stan and he turned into a tomato.

Later, we got to school all ready, and after our normal classes, we went to lunch. I had to sit at their table again. I sat down in my spot, and Stan's head was down on the table while Kenny was trying to comfort him. "Kenny, I need to talk to you" I say. "Alright. Is it private or??" He replies. I say, "Kinda, let's go to the hallway" He follows me and I start talking.

"So you know how you said he hasn't eaten in 6 days yesterday?" I said. He looked upset, "yeah, I wish he would eat though." I look around the hallway to make sure nobodys around, "well I tried to feed him and he puked it up after a bit of eating it, because his body wasn't used to eating for quite a while. I found that it takes at least a month of not eating to get used to not eating at all. When I checked in with his mom, she said he's been eating in his room ever since last month, every day." Kenny looked shocked, "so he's been-" I nodd. Kenny realizes something and says "oh shit.." "what?" I ask. "Well I think this is probably my fault." He says looking guilty.

"Why would it be your fault?" I ask. Kenny starts to explain, "Well I was at his house for dinner, and when he went to the bathroom, I told his parents that he tried to-" he covered his mouth, trying not to say the rest. "Nevermind" he says. "What did he try to do?" I ask. He gives that look that he'll get in trouble if he says so, "I'm not sure he'd want me to tell you.." "Kenny, what did he try to do?" I ask in a more serious voice. He gives in, "Ok fine I'll tell you.. so a month ago, at the beginning of the month, I entered his room to surprise him without him knowing i entered, but when i walked in he.." He stops in his tracks and gets his voice a bit quieter but still quiet enough so i could hear, "He had a noose around his neck and he tried to commit, I came in while he was still on the chair so he didn't have time to do it luckily…" he says with a few tears in his eyes.

I was absolutely shocked. "He tried to commit..?" I ask. Kenny nods and hugs me.

I look back at the lunchroom, and I go there to see Stan.

"Hey um Stan? Can I talk to you?" He nods and he follows me to the boys bathroom. "Stan.. did you-"

// Author note //

U THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA FINISH THAT SENTENCE? HAHA, he will later, or maybe not at all 🤷‍♀️

Also if you didn't understand the Emotional Self-Harm was Stan starving himself for like, a goddamn month. I don't know why I make these so emo, probably to have something to go on to when the next chapter is ready? Or to add to the story? I really don't understand myself.

Anyways, sorry I took such a long break, I didn't mean to take that long. Next break will probably be only 1 day or something, but that will be a while from now.

I will be posting chapter 12 as soon as I can. The problem with me taking breaks is that when I return to it, I get less motivated. I guess it's because when I haven't been doing it, I haven't had any ideas running through my head so it's hard to continue chapters if I take breaks.

Oh and also I've been trying to make my chapters a normal size iykwim, so it will take a bit longer to make them than usual.

I hope you enjoyed this very cringe chapter, I swear they keep getting more cringe as they go.
