Make Me Skin And Bones

One step at a time

I woke up slowly, Everything felt out of place, I felt arms around me.

"You Awake Brook?" Alex whispered I didn't respond. I was too tired. "What do you want for breakfast??" He questioned "Mhhh. Sleep" I whispered, cuddling into him "okkaayy, Fine, Lunch?" he rubbed my back "Coffee" I continued "Brook..." His voice dropped his amusement. "C O F F E E. Lex... Coffee, you do know how to make it right?"

He sighed "Fine, dinner" anger laced in his voice "Alex..." My voice shook "Brooklyn" I sighed and sat up, feeling sick "It's not that easy, no one fucking understands." I felt a sob creeping up but suppressed it.

He sat up after me then stood up and let out a long sigh "p-please" my voice shook "Not again... Don't leave I need you, I'm trying. I want to try its hard I cant... I cant do it alone. Alex, please..." The sob finally escaped and he looked at me with wide eyes.

"Brook I wasn't going to leave" He rushed out "I was only gonna go to the bathroom, I understand, I'm going to help, I won't do that to you again..." He said guiltily. I slowly nodded, still unsure.

He walked away and I layed back down. Curling in on myself slightly. It took a few minutes but Alex curled around behind me. Falling asleep again.

Waking up a few hours later, I could smell the coffee, but also... Pancakes... My stomach churned and before I knew it I was throwing up, nothing, into the toilet.

Seconds later Alex was behind me pulling my hair back "It's okay, Brook. Breathe." He whispered Rubbing my back "I'm sorry" I choked out "It's gonna be okay. You'll be okay" He whispered "N-No..." I sniffled "It's not... I won't" He sighed. "Let's go try one small pancake?" He questioned, I sighed "M-Maybe..."

We got downstairs and I saw 3 pancakes sitting on a plate. "The top one is your's," Alex said. It was a medium-sized one, same size as a small plate, I sighed "I'll try..." I sat down at the table.

"Hey," He said looking up at me "One step at a time, Brook. Okay?" I nodded and looked back down at the carbs and calories that invaded my plate and what would have been a successful 48 hour fast. "I'm really not feeling too well, Alex..." I said truthfully, He frowned "Brook" He sighed "Alex I'm serious" I sniffled... Not looking up "Fine, You'll eat some soup later though, go rest" I nodded at his order and went to the couch to lay down.

I heard Alex cleaning up as I lay there. Mumbling to himself, All I caught before I fell asleep as 'My fault' Then nothing.

Hey, I'm still here! lol.
Great job with the new update! A bit sad, though, but I guess this story is in general. Nothing too happy came in the chapter. But glad that Alex didn't leave her this time.
Hope to see more soon! :)

Aw, I've missed this story; happy that you updated! :)
Great job with the new chapter... very intense, though. Whoa.
I'm glad Alex came back. She just needs someone that won't give up on her. Maybe he'll realize that.
That being said, though, she needs to learn she needs to work on herself too, for him. Hmm... I wonder if she'll realize that. Or well, she kind of does now, but not in the right way. So maybe that's still a bit on him and in his court to make her realize.
Interested in seeing more. :) Hope it's not too long until another update.

Oh, okay, thanks for clarifying! That makes sense now. And okay, that's cool you're writing that one as well. :) Know if you continue that one, I will read it too. :)
And okay, no problem; just thought I would check with that. Totally do whatever you feel, but just wanted to make sure that was the intention and not like, setting it when they were actually in HS.
Great job with the new update! Hmm... poor Brook. :/ Alex still doesn't quite get it, but he's trying, at least. Better than her mom, anyway, I think. I guess it can be hard for anyone to understand who hasn't experienced it or known someone before that has.
Hoping that Alex continues to be sweet to her. :')
Interested in seeing more. :)

@Nanook
To answer your confusion, I have this book on my quotev, on there it is a Marianas trench fan fiction, I decided to make an ATL one as well but really like the plot, And yes touch of winter is as well my book, I'm still writing it but realized I had this account with nothing on it.
This is meant to be an AU so its present day but with them, all in high school, shameless was just the first thing to pop into my head at the time lol. I hope this clears the confusion :) and also thank you so much!

Wow... I really love what you have of this, and it's only four chapters in so far.
Alex really needs to prove he means it to Brooklyn... but I have faith that he still wants to be, at least, her friend. He must feel like shit for treating her the way he did. Hopefully he stops.
Two things I need to note that confused me:
a) At the beginning of Chapter 2, you mentioned the name "Josh", which I'm thinking was maybe a placeholder name, or the name you changed to Alex when writing this. I was just a bit confused when that happened...
b) At the beginning of the latest chapter, you mentioned the show "Shameless" which is relatively newer and wasn't on when ATL was in high school. So is this set in present day, with them just being in high school now? Or were you trying to stick with the time they were actually in high school? Just something to note; either one is fine, but if you're trying to stay true to the time they actually were there, I would probably switch the show name...
But other than those two aspects, I think this story is pretty awesome so far, for only just having four chapters. You're a great writer. :)
I also wanted to ask... did you happen to start this story on another account?
http://www.alltimelowfanfiction.com/Story/90423/Touch-of-winter/
I noticed both usernames have the same name in them, but also, this story has a similar plot line as that one, so I was just wondering... I actually started reading that one too, but was waiting to leave feedback for more of it to review... I would have waited here too, but wanted to leave feedback in case that was you, so that this rendition (if it's the same story rewritten) isn't stopped too. But perhaps it's just a coincidence, lol. But also, wanted to leave feedback since I think this is pretty amazing so far for so few chapters.
But yeah, just wanted to leave some feedback. Can't wait for more and to see where you take it. :) Rooting for Brook and Alex. :)
