Not...Hungry

~Dante~

I awoke to Jenny sitting on me and shaking me by the front of my shirt. I yawned and looked around. "W..what's wrong?" She glared at me. "It's 2pm already! I was worried...so I knocked on your door. Finni said you had taken done sleeping pills last night. I was afraid that you'd...that you had taken too many." I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Everything went black and I fell back down. "Dante?!" I was huffing and puffing. "I...I'm ok. Just dizzy." I sat up again. I blushed when I noticed Jenny was straddled across my lap. She seemed to notice too and her face turned red. She started to get up, but I grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to me in a hug. "You're really skinny....when was the last time you ate?" I burried my face in her hair. "Max made me pick at sone food the night before we got out." I felt her hands feeling around my back, and my shoulders, down my sides. She stopped and hugged me tighter. "Before that...?" I sighed. "I don't remember. I weighed 130 or so when I went in. I think I was 110 the last time they weighed me." She pulled away and punched me in the arm. "HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO PROTECT ME OR TAKE CARE OF ME IF YOU CAN'T TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!" I didn't say anything. "I'm sorry." I saw some tears in her eyes. Then she got up and left. I just sat there. What was I gonna say? I couldn't tell her the truth. It would only hurt her. It was something between Max and me. Even Pops had it different there. I could never tell her about how I almost forgot everything. Almost died. I pulled my knees up and leaned my head on them. I must gave fallen asleep again, cause Jenny was shaking my shoulder to wake me up again. There was a tray of food sitting at the foot of my bed. "You're going to eat all of that! Or I'll make you eat it!" I smiled and took the tray. It was some chicken noodle soup, some toast, an orange, and a cup of milk. I picked up the spoon. "I'll try I promise." She sat next to me. "All of it." I nodded. Yeah...I can't tell her.
