Karl's POV

I gave Tommy his food and looked down. 

"You don't have to feel guilty, you're allowed to eat."

"Yeah I know"

"Ok good"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Yes of course"

"Are you sure you want to deal with me? I mean I have an eating disorder and I'm annoying"

"You're not annoying and I'm here to help you not make you stop eating. I'm not your dad"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to compare you to him"

"Don't be sorry I know you didn't mean to" 

He takes a bite of his chicken nuggets and I see him smile

"When was the last time you ate?" I ask knowing I probably wont like the answer

"About 2 weeks, a week and 6 days to be exact"

"Oh my god Tommy, you're never going back there."

"Thank you so much Karl"

"No problem"

"But I have- nevermind I don't want to go back there"

*ring ring* my phone started ringing

"It's Jimmy I'll be back in a sec"

I opened the car door and went outside to talk to Jimmy in private

Tommy's POV

Should I throw up? 

No I'm not going to throw up. 

Karl would be mad at me.

Karl cares about me

Karl's POV POV

When I walked back in I saw Tommy with a smile on his face

"What is it?"

"Huh? Oh nothing, it's stupid"

"Just tell me" I say with a smile

"You care about me right?"

"Yes of course"

"No one has ever cared about me since my mum left"

"I care about you like you're my son, if you're comfortable with me saying that"

"Yeah I'm comfortable saying that I just didn't expect it. To be honest I feel like on day you're gonna leave me"

"I wont I swear, your dad is an idiot."

"I know that's true but why?"

"Because he treated you horribly, he treated you like nothing. He called you names, he hurt you I mean he starved you. He deserves to rot in hell"

"You really care"

"I do"

We ate in silence after that, I finished first so I started driving.

When Tommy was finished I put the garbage in the McDonalds bag.

"Is it alright if I sleep?" he asked, scared I would say no

"Yes of course"

"Ok thank you so much"

"No problem"
