"I ate, I swear."
"No, I didn't drink."
"I'm not sick, Just tired"
He had a whole book of excuses for his issuse's. Drank to much and seems sad? Blame it on sleepless nights. Didn't eat? Claim to have eaten earlier. Band mates catching him throw up? He'd just claim to have ate something with nuts (which he was allergic to). He was living a life of drinking and starving himself.
They all saw the signs. Being teenagers however made them just asume he, like most fifteen year olds, was just plain moody But even with trying to blame it on growing up they all felt like it was somthing more.
Tom could see it in the way that clothes that used to fit him didn't anymore. He saw his bones sticking out, to sharp and brittle for it to be natural. He saw the way that he would look at himself with disgust in the mirror, that he'd pinch his skin and sigh, the way that he'd carefully leave when ever they talked of food or any type of social event. When they where changing before a show he'd see his ribs, thich stood out so obviously on his pale chest.
Harry saw it in the way he'd flinch away from the hugs he once nuzzled into. In the way his breath stank of freash vomit and alcohol. He saw how he would avoid people more than he used to even if he was really shy it had become so bad he stayed silent constantly even around his band mates who he used to always joke with. harry also saw the way the young bassist would leave to go loo straight after eating even the tiniest amount of food.
Danny saw it in the way he would stare longingly at food but the second he had any he'd look really guilty like he'd just hurt somthing. he saw the bottles hidden under piles of clothes in his room, he heard the heartbreaking sobs in the middle of the night and the haunting melodies at day but like the others passed it off as some emo fase.
Some of the fans saw it to. The yellowing teeth, the cracked skin on his fingers and the clumsiness made it obvious to the fans who were on the same boat as him but only they could see it clear as day. They would save him but how do you tell a band that there bassist is on the edge and losong his balance?
His lies weren't all that great but they didn't have to be. No one really looked.
You're a hurricane full of lies
And the way you're heading
No one's getting out alive
Living in a fantasy
Don't even know reality
Did you miss the stop sign
That last decision was your last
No more excuses
No more running
Only God can save you now
And I'm just one drink away
And I'm back in Wonderland like it was yesterday
Lies
Lies
Lies
A/N bet you thought that i'd base this on the song given the prompt? nope hahaha
