When Crickets Cry...

Sean emptied his stomach in the toilet.
"Riley... I'm sorry.... I really tried..." He had..

"Its okay, we will try again next time." He gently pushed Sean aside, shoving two fingers down his throat and purging until he had throw up everything, even the little bit of food he hate last night.

Sean frowned at his brother.
"Riley...." He didn't want his brother doing this... he was so tiny.
But Sean was smaller..

Riley wiped his mouth and gave a smile.
"Just....Try harder for us next time...." He sighed as he went back to bed.

He had tried so hard....
"I'm sorry." He sighed as he went back to bed.

He text Lance.
We ate soup and a sandwich.
Then puked.
Readyset, Dontgo

"Baby... you're gonna hurt yourself..." Lance sighed at his phone.

"Love you too babe." Lance frowned but shut his phone, shaking his head.

Like he had said, he went to David and told him about Sean, trying to get him help.

David was deeply worried when he saw how sickly and small Sean was.
"I... we need to get him to eat. Riley, I need you to make him come here at least once a week to me. Drag him if needed. But he NEEDS help. He could die... and it may be a while before he wakes up."

Riley nodded.
"Yes sir, but when he eats he pukes even when he dont wanna...like his body is refusing the food."

David nodded.
"I've handled bulimia before but this case seems pretty bad. I'm going to try my best but you might have to have some sort of intervention at home if I can't do it alone.." He nodded.

"Im sure we can do that." He nodded. "Anything for my baby brother." He sighed. He had shed almost twenty pounds already and he was miserable.

"And Riley, Lance told me how you've been starving yourself, trying to make him try harder. Don't do that hun. It'll just hurt yourself. I know you're trying to help him but you could end up making it worse. He'll feel awful for making you starve yourself and he's like a cutter in a way. When they're depressed, they cut. When Sean is depressed, he eats. You'll make ihm want to binge more hun. And that ain't good."

Riley shrugged.
"If I see it going there ill stop but he has been trying to eat for me. "

"Okay.." David sighed but nodded. "But if Lance tells me you're getting to bad I'll force feed you. You're body won't reject the food." He smirked.

"I dunno, actually even I feel sick when I eat now." He pouted but thanked him.
He headed over to Lance's, it was their one year mile point.

Lance was ecstatic as he pulled him in through the window.
"Happy anniversary babe." He drawled, smiling

"Happy Anniversary Rider." He grinned and kissed him sweetly. He had a major headache from his no eating thing with Sean
And he didnt wanna tell anyone...

"Y'know, since its our anniversary, I'm making you eat." He nodded, kissing his cheek.

"No, not without Sean. But my family is coming over here so he can tell them at one time." He hugged Lance tightly.

"Alright." Lance sighed and nodded, poking Riley's visible ribcage.

Riley groaned.
"No poking me, I wish he would just eat already. Im dying." He pouted.

"Imma force feed his ass... he's hurting my baby.." He sighed, rubbing his stomach before he went downstairs as everyone arrived.
