I stormed out of the building. What does he mean I can tell him anything?! I don't even know him! I ran down the street, ending up in a park. I was shaking from the anger. Nobody was around, so I screamed. I screamed, and screamed, and screamed. I slowly fell to my knees. My screams turned into wails. I haven't cried in awhile. I guess keeping everything inside of you isn't so good, huh? It eventually builds up and explodes. I probably wasn't even mad at bayani now that I look at it. It was just the fear of him finding out the truth. I started sobbing, covering my face. I am such a baby! But I do have to apologize to bayani, maybe I should even try to befriend him. I mean, he seems like a good guy. I sighed, getting up drying my eyes. I have to go get graser.
I go into the building looking for graser. I don't see him anywhere. Maybe he's in the back? I open the doors and head into the storage room. "Graser?" I yell out. I hear some boxes dropping. Then I see graser running out, beaming. I guess he's excited to see me. He stopped and started looking worried.
"What happened?" His voice was draped with worry. What does he mean? "Your face is all red and blotchy! Why were you crying?" Oh, that's why...
"It's nothing." I say. Grasers frown grows. He looks hurt that I won't tell him. I sigh. I guess someone should know, and that person should be my best friend. And when I say know, I mean everything. I could feel that I'm about to cry. "Well, you see..." My voice breaking. Graser rushes over, pulling me into a hug. He rubs small circles into my back, trying to calm me down. "I have been holding something from you graser." He pulls back.
"What is it bud? You can tell me anything." He says it with so much sincerity. It kind of scares me.
"I-I am being abused by my father." I say. I peek up through my lashes. Graser looks like he wants to cry. "He has been since I was about 10. That's when I came out as gay. My mother left when she found out. He blames me, and well it kind of IS my fault." Graser pulls me into a bone crunching hug.
"No it's not! It's not your fault your mom was a biznatch and abandoned you! It's her fault for being a narrow minded bigot! It's nobody's fault but hers!" He yelled. I nodded hugging him.
"There's more..." I trail off. I suck in a big breath. Should I actually tell him? What if he hates me? "I guess you could say I have an eating disorder." I mumble, bearly above a whisper. I wasn't even sure if he heard me. I see graser crying his eyes out.
"I'm so so sorry!" He wails. Sorry? For what? "I'm sorry you're going through this! I'm sorry I hadn't noticed!" He cried, burying his face in my chest. I wasn't sure what to say, so I didn't say anything. I just hugged graser.

I burry my face into wills chest crying my eyes out. I can't believe I didn't notice! Now that you think about it, I never really see will eat. And I can feel his bones. That makes me cry even harder. I take some deep breaths, calming myself down. After my crying subsided I pulled back. I look at will with a determined look. "You're not going back there." I stated. He looked at me in shock.
"What?" He asked.
"You're coming to live with me!" I say. He shakes his head furiously.
"No way! I can't do that." He says.
"And why not?" I ask. If he thinks I'm letting him go back, he's sadly mistaken.
"I'll be a bother!" He yells. I shake my head.
"No you won't! You could never be a bother!" I shout. He shrinks back a bit. Crap! He must not like yelling."sorry." I mutter.
"No, it's fine. But I-I don't know..." He trailed off. I hug him tight.
"Please?" I whisper, my voice breaking a bit. It was silent for a bit, then I hear him sigh.
"Fine." He says, hugging me back.
