Chapter 10
"Why aren't you eating?"
"I am."
"No you aren't. When was the last time you ate?"
"Last night, with Howard."
"What did you eat?"
"Umm…pasta?" I offer.
"How much did you eat?"
"I don't know."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Vincent…"
"Look, why can't you leave me alone? Why does it bother you whether or not I eat?"
"Because I care about you! What you're doing isn't healthy, Vince. I want to understand!" I shake my head.
"No, you don't."
"I do, Vince. Why won't you tell me?"
"Telling people about your problems just spreads misery."
"That's not true Vince. Tell me what's wrong."
"How would it help?"
"Just tell me Vince. What harm could it do?"
"It was too long ago. There's no point bringing it all up now. Everyone's forgotten about it." My head's in my hands. Feeling a hand on my shoulder, I look up. Naboo is stood next to me, his eyes pools of raw emotion.
"Except you. It's obviously bothering you, Vince. Tell me." I sigh and reluctantly begin my story.
