John didn't know when you changed. You used to be a happy, outgoing and affectionate kid who signed up for every sport that was available to you. Until one day you stopped everything. John first noticed it when you stopped showing up to your football classes something that you usually never wanted to miss and then he noticed the grades slipping.

John sat you down multiple times to try and get you to talk but you'd brush him off or get angry at him whenever he tried. He was worried and didnt want to fail you like his father failed him so he never gave up trying. John would bring you coffee every morning before you got ready for school alongwith breakfast- that was something else he had picked up on, your eating habits had changed. It was either that you ate nothing for weeks on end or you binge ate and ended up throwing up later on.

After a few months of this behaviour and with you becoming skinner, John booked you a doctors appointment to get you help. You hated him for it and protested to the point where John had to carry you out to the car like he had to when you were a child and didnt want to go to the dentist.

John stayed by your side the entire time as the nurse ran tests and asked you questions, his hand holding yours tightly as he knew how much you hated things like this- opening up and accepting help. However, the nurse you had was sweet and patient, he'd never pressure for an answer and picked up on cues when you were uncomfortable and gave you a break.

The nurse pulled John aside and spoke to him one on one without you being in the room, the nurse informed him to write down a meal plan for you each week and told him to encourage but not force. Immediately when you two got home, John took the nurse's advice and began making a timed out meal plan for you, he made sure it included your favourite meals and he even added an optional meal beneath it just incase you werent feeling up to eat that certain thing that day.

Saturday April 3rd Today is the first day of trying out this new schedule and on the calendar for breakfast, John wrote down pancakes. So that's what he made not changing the schedule that he had you read over the night before and agree on. He made the mixture from scratch and poured extra syrup ontop with cut up strawberries and blueberries just how you like it.

John put the plate of pancakes on a tray alongwith a nice hot tea and napkins just incase, then he began making his way upstairs, knocking on your bedroom door before opening it to see you sitting up on your bed watching something on your phone.

"Morning, kiddo." John smiled as he placed the tray on your bed and pulled open your curtains so you had some daylight. "Do you wanna go out with your old man today?" John asked as he took a seat on the edge of your bed. "We can maybe go shopping, take a walk in the park or watch a movie. Its up to you, kid- if you want to go out that is." Despite John's want to hangout with you like he used to, he was well aware of your lack of motivation recently and he didnt want to accidentally end up pushing you further away from him if you felt pressured.
