Zoe said she would stay with me for as long as necessary. She wants me to eat, and get out more, and be more cheerful. But she doesn't understand. She doesn't know what happened. I don't think Tyler told anyone.

Zoe went to answer a call as we sat in the living room when my mum brought us back. I couldn't hear much, something about Connor. I haven't seen him in a long time. But, I also haven't been out in a long time. When she came back, I asked her who she was calling.

"I want Connor to come over, maybe he can help you, Troye." She said sitting down.

"I don't want anyone coming, I can handle myself." I argued.

"Like how you've been 'handling' yourself all week? What the hell did Tyler do for this to happen to you." She looked mad, and I was scared.

"I-I don't want to talk about it." I said looking down.

"I'm sorry Troye, I didn't mean to yell at you, I just want to know what he did." She put a hand on my shoulder to comfort me, with her voice getting softer.

"He..he-" And much to my convenience, my mum decided to walk in just as I was about to tell Zoe what had happened.

"Hey, just checking up to see your ok, Troye do you need water or anything? I can get you some food if your still hungry." She looked almost scared to ask me if I was hungry. I wasn't doing this on purpose, my appetite had just left when Tyler did. I never noticed how much skinnier I had gotten until I went to take a shower earlier today.

-I entered the bathroom, locking the door behind me. I went to turn the shower on before looking at myself for the first time in a week.

I had dark circles under my eyes. My arms were skinnier than before. And my ribs are now very noticeable, and my legs looked long sticks. I was disgusted by what I saw in the mirror. My hair, greasy and a mess of curls. I looked away, got unchanged and took a long cold shower to wake me up a bit more. I got dressed in a over sized jumper (which used to fit fine) to cover my arms, and a pair black jeans. I went out to meet with Zoe before we left.-

"Ok, thank you mum." I said remembering I need to eat more.

"Oh, ok, and Zoe, do you want anything?" She turned to Zoe, her expression calmer.

"No thank you, and is it ok if I invite Connor over?" She asked my mum. She knew Connor, he had visited many times before.

"Of course, he's always welcome." She said before leaving to the kitchen.

"Good, because he'll be here in three hours."

Connor came at the time Zoe had said he would. I couldn't complain because he was already on the plane by the time she had told my mum and I. Zoe went to pick him up while I waited for them. Eating a sandwich my mum gave me, I went on my computer to see what's going on on social media. I was on for a bit before I came across a recent tweet Tyler had posted. I didn't pay attention to it, the first thing I did was unfollow him. I didn't want to see any tweets he might post. Then I tweeted:

TroyeSivan/ Hey sorry for being unactive this week, I'm working on some new songs :)

I hoped they would buy it, and truthfully, I haven't written a song in a while. Maybe I could use my time to do that.

"Troye!" I heard Zoe's voice at the front of the house as I sat in my bedroom." Troye! Come to the living room!" I got up, checking my appearance in the mirror I had before leaving my room. I passed the front door, with Connor's luggage next to it. I entered the living room and saw Connor talking with my mum, his eyebrows furrowed. I walked closer, Zoe noticing my presence.
