[Kisiel]

"I think..." she muttered, searching for words. "I think that it's a habit. I couldn't help myself..."
Her gaze shifted to the needle that was laying on the floor, small amount of liquid spilled.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex nodded thoughtfully. "Right... so it's a matter of breaking a habit. Like my knuckle cracking but more serious..." He said, mostly to himself.

[Kisiel]

Megan nearly laughed.
"Yeah... something like that."

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex grinned. "At least I got you laughing." He said optimistically, giving her a quick peck on the cheek.

[Kisiel]

(( she didn't laugh XD ))

Megan smiled, still staring down. She didn't want Alex to see the sadness in her eyes, for she knew that if he looked in them, he would see the truth. The truth about being only a few steps away from anorexia.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex took her hand gently, playing with her fingers. It wouldn't be long until she'd look up, at least he thought that way. It wasn't so hard to believe she was starving herself. She was dangerously thin.

[Kisiel]

But Megan couldn't hold it in for long. As soon as the thought appeared in her mind, she felt the urge to tell Alex.
"Listen..." she began. "I think I might have-"
Megan gulped, a lump in her throat.
"Anorexia."

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex nodded steadily. "There was a girl in my class... She had it and survived so I don't see why you can't." He said with a small smile. "She had help from her family though. But you've got me and I'm going to be a lot more help than your mum."

[Kisiel]

Megan finally lifted her gaze.
Hesitantly, she wrapped her arms around Alex, careful not to touch his side.
"Thank you," she whispered.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex smiled, his arms slipping around her in a hug. "It's not a problem." He muttered into her ear. He pulled away. "I really am making a habit of saving your life..." He teased, grinning.
