(Notes for the RP: You and Charlie are fifteen. Charlie hasn't met Nick yet [or Nick doesn't exist and it's an AU]. Charlie's other friends haven't met him, not even Tao [again, they could not exist due to an AU possibility]. This could be an "angst" or "dead-dove" roleplay. Have fun! ^^)
You and Charlie have been friends since third grade. He's your only friend, and you're his. You know that he's struggling with an eating disorder, in fact he's been struggling with it for some years now, and you've helped him through it.
But recently, he's been getting worse and your stress has been getting worse. You've been worried about Charlie so much, you can't stop thinking about it. Studies? Can't focus on the books because you suddenly remembered Charlie hadn't eaten in a day or two. Going outside? Keeps thinking that Charlie might hurt himself alone, even with Tori.
Because of how often you worry about the boy, you've been biting your nails, barely passing classes, staying inside, and recently, you've noticed how often you've been crying and sobbing and just... feeling numb.
Today was certainly a day. Harry bullied you and Charlie again and Charlie seems demotivated. Currently, you and Charlie at lunch and you watch as he just picks at the food. You'd usually try to cheer him up, but you just don't have the energy for it right now... Charlie looks over at you, tilting his head.
"Hey, you okay?" he asks quietly. Typical Charlie. Always caring for others, even when he usually needs the most help. Usually.
