Thank you to guest and Sophie for reviewing, I love both your suggestions and I have planned them for chapters 19 and 20. Also thank you to fanthing1123 for following :)
Prompted by guest- Robbie makes nasty comments about Jason's weight and keeps bullying him, while Holly and the rest of the family have no clue what's going on between them. Jason again, becomes obsessed with counting calories and losing weight, falling back into his old eating habits. Robbie realises what he is doing after a conversation with Holly and he needs to stop in order to save Jason's life.
Chapter 12- why are you doing this to him?:
Robbie was in a mood, a bad mood. Not only had he been unable to get the girl of his dreams, he'd just screwed up another one of Trevor's deals. He was a dead man walking. He's tried to tell Holly how he felt about her, but every time she just pushed Robbie away.
Now lately, Robbie had a habit of screwing up Trevor's deals. He never did it on purpose, well sometimes he did but not always, and now Trevor would no doubt fire him and get his men on him. Unfortunately when Robbie was in a bad mood, he took it out on anyone. This included his family.
Jason walked in from a busy shift, and went straight into the kitchen. He walked over to the fridge putting his keys down on the counter, and took out some orange juice. As Jason was doing this, Robbie appeared behind him. "What do you want Robbie?", Jason asked while turning round to be face to face with his brother.
"You better watch the sugar in that Jase, too much of it is bad for ya", Robbie said sharply, making Jason stop at the tone of his voice. Jason was to o shocked to say anything, did Robbie really just say that? "Wha...What do you mean?", Jason asked, slightly dreading the answer Robbie was about to give. "Well how are you gonna get a girl like Holly when you're filling yourself with all that crap", Robbie said out of spite, making Jason storm out of the room and run up the stairs.
Jason ran into his bedroom, slammed the door and crouched down crying. He was trying to work out if Robbie had really said that, or maybe he was just a imagining it. Either way Jason knew he had to change, Robbie was right how was he supposed to get a girl like Holly when all he ate was sugar. Jason decided it was time for a change.
It 5pm, which meant that tea would be served at around 6pm and that gave Jason an hour to do whatever he wanted. So he put on his running stuff and headed out for a run, hoping to burn off as much as he could. He passed Robbie at the bottom of the stairs, but he didn't say anything and carried on out the door for a run.
When Jason brushed past Robbie, he wondered if this was his doing. Whether Jason was going for a run, to try burn off some calories because of what he'd said. Robbie pushed to the back of his mind and carried on upstairs, he told himself that Jason was just going for a run to let off steam, however deep down Robbie knew this wasn't true.
While Jason was running, he felt good, like he was finally doing something right. He passed the hutch and down towards price slice where Holly was getting some things. "You alright?", she asked a hot and sweaty Jason as she came out the shop. Jason nodded panting, "yeah", he said. "Just out for a run", he said still panting.
"Yeah, I can see that", Holly said, "but you don't need to." Jason nodded, "yeah I do, I need to get back in shape." When Jason said this, Holly began to worry. Jason was fine just the way he was and now he saying he wanted to get back in shape. Something wasn't right and Holly was gonna find out what. After she'd said goodbye to Jason, who went off to carry on with his run, Holly immediately got her phone and rang Robbie.
"Hello", Robbie said answering the phone.
"Robbie it's me, Holly, I think there's something up with Jason."
"What do you mean?", he asked trying to sound confused.
"Well I've just seen him out for a run and he said he wants to get 'back in shape'. I'm worried about him Robbie", Holly said concerned for Jason, she didn't think she could go through Jason being ill again.
"Alright look, I'll talk to him", Robbie said.
Thanks Robbie", Holly said before hanging up.
Robbie sighed and put his head against his bedroom wall, he had a feeling that he had caused this but he was in a bad mood and Jason just caught him at the wrong time. It was like Robbie just couldn't stop himself, Jason's life was so perfect and his was a mess. Robbie new that Joe and Freddie were downstairs, no doubt arguing about something and that Jason would be home soon, so he decided to play it cool and he went downstairs to act like everyone else.
At 6pm Freddie shouted that tea was ready. Robbie, Joe, Lindsey, Kim and Mercedes all arrived at the table, but no sign of Jason. "Where's Jase?", Joe asked and everyone but Robbie shrugged. "He's out for a run", Robbie said and the others nodded.
5 minutes later, Jason burst through the front door, sweating, panting and stumbling. Everyone in the dining room heard this, so Freddie went out to have a look. "You alright Jase?", Freddie asked as he want out into the hall. "Yeah", Jason said through deep breaths, sitting down on the stairs. Freddie looked down at his younger brother almost smiling to himself at the state of him, he'd only been for a run. "Let's get you something to eat", Freddie said about to guide Jason into the dining room, when Jason refused. "No it's fine, I had something about an hour ago before I left. I'll just get something later", Jason said convincingly as Freddie didn't stop him walking up the stairs to his room. Freddie just shrugged as he believed Jason, however little did Freddie know, Jason hadn't had anything to eat since 9am that morning.
The next morning Jason woke up hungry, he groaned and sat up looking at his alarm clock. It said 8am, which meant that it was a Saturday; this meant Jason got to spend the whole with Holly. Jason got up and ignored the pang of hunger that struck him, he went over to his wardrobe and pulled out some jeans, t-shirt and his jacket.
Walking downstairs Jason decided that he might as well have something to eat otherwise Holly would worry. He went into the kitchen and searched the cupboards for one of Ziggy's healthy cereal bars. He found one and checked the calorie intake, yep 60 calories per bar. Jason was satisfied with this and left before the others had even got up.
Jason arrived at Holly's house at 8:15 and he knocked on the door. He was hoping that she'd answer the door soon, as even though he was inside he was still cold. Finally Holly answered the door, she smiled and gestured for Jason to walk in. Once he was inside Holly hugged him, but then froze when she realised that Jason felt a bit 'light'.
"Are you sure you're eating enough J?", Holly asked. "Yeah, course", replied Jason, but Holly knew he was lying. Jason spent most the day at Holly's and while she never forced him to eat anything, Holly made a mental note that Jason didn't eat anything.
Meanwhile Robbie started his day with a grilling from Trevor, which almost included a fist in his face but luckily Robbie dodged it and got on with his work. Today Robbie actually managed to do a deal, that was until Trevor told him he didn't make enough money and sent him out for more.
To be truthful, Robbie was jealous of Jason, his life was great. He had a good job, not a job that is almost certainly illegal and he had a girlfriend, a nice, kind, funny, good looking girlfriend and this was something that Robbie didn't have.
It was 4pm, Holly and Jason were walking arm in arm down the street to the Roscoes. Jason was pleased with himself, he'd managed not to eat anything apart from the cereal bar and he felt good. He had Holly and his job, that's all he needed. Robbie was walking behind Holly and Jason, watching them with envy. They were happy, or at least that's whag Robbie thought, he didn't know what was going on in Jason's head.
Jason and Holly stopped by the front door and kissed each other goodbye as Robbie walked past. "Do you two have to?", Robbie asked clearly not happy. Holly and Jason pulled apart as he said this and watched him walk into the house slamming the door. "What's up with him?", Holly asked clearly confused by the situation. "I don't know", Jason said, "he's been acting weird for the past few days. Look I better get inside, I'll see you tomorrow", Jason said smiling at Holly, then going inside.
When Jason got inside he walked into the living room to find all of his brothers on the sofa eating a takeaway. The one thing Jason dreaded. "Alright Jase, we saved you some chicken and noodles", Ziggy said but for Jason even the thought of Chinese made him feel sick. "Nah Zig your alright, I had loads at Holly's I'm just gonna go upstairs", Jason said earning himself a frown from Ziggy, however that soon faded when Freddie ate Jason's food.
Jason sat down in his room and thought. He thought about Holly and what she mentioned about him being 'light', he thought about how even though he was eating less his brothers always seemed to be eating more and he thought about Robbie. He thought about he couldn't go a day without getting a snide remark from him about his weight, his hair, his clothes and the food he ate (when Jason actually ate, which was never).
As Jason pondered this even more, his bedroom door flew open to reveal a not so happy Robbie. Jason jumped to his feet, as if he was scared of what his twin brother was to say or do. "Why did you do that Jase, Ziggy was well disappointed, he was looking forward to spending time with us and you just come upstairs!", Robbie said and Jason took a step back in order to avoid any threats that came his way. "You're pathetic", Robbie spat and left the room, leaving Jason standing there.
As Jason looked in the mirror, he could that Robbie was right. He was pathetic and he always let everyone down. Jason went into the bathroom and got on the scales. His face lit up when he seen the number, it had gone down by 5 pounds. This meant Jason was making progress.
Weeks passed and Jason got worse day by day. Robbie made a comment almost everyday and it knocked Jason for six, almost everyday. Jason was just praying that someone would realise what was going on, except his brothers hadn't even noticed anything. Jason just hoped that Holly would notice, and luckily for him, Holly had noticed that something was wrong and she was going to find what.
As Holly kissed Jason goodbye she watched him follow Robbie into the house, she noticed how thin Jason looked compared to Robbie. She was worried, worried that none of the Roscoes had noticed. As the door closed, Holly just stood there but then what she heard next shocked her.
Behind the door, she heard Robbie shouting at Jason. He was was calling him names and saying he was pathetic. She walked up by the door and listened carefully. She could hear Robbie saying that Jason was perfect and that Jason had Holly and Robbie had no one. She could hear Robbie telling Jason that if he ate too much crap he would get fat. At this Holly's heart broke, she couldn't believe that Robbie was saying this. She ran away from the Roscoes house crying. She couldn't believe Robbie said those things.
When she got home, Holly immediately rang Robbie.
"Hello", Robbie answered.
"Robbie it's me, meet me in the folley in half an hour."
What why?", Robbie asked.
"Just be there", Holly said putting the phone down.
Half an hour later Robbie was was waiting in the folley for Holly. He was trying to work out why she wanted to speak to him urgently. However he wouldn't have to wait long as in that moment Holly came down the steps, Robbie thought she looked beautiful. Holly gestured for Robbie to sit down on the bench, and he did still trying to work out what this was about. "What's this about then?", Robbie asked and Holly sighed. "Jason", she replied.
Back at the Roscoes, Jason sat in his room crying. Everything that Robbie said had hit him like a brick. He was pathetic and why would Holly want him know, he was fat and a cry baby. Jason didn't know where Robbie had gone, but he hoped he'd never come back.
"What", Robbie replied clearly confused by what Holly has just said. "I know what you're doing to Jason", Holly said and Robbie still looked confused. "Don't give me that look Robbie, all of the names you've called him and every comment you've made about him. It's horrible Robbie and it's bullying; now Jason won't eat because of what you've said. He could die!", Holly screamed, crying as Robbie just sat there and watched.
Robbie didn't realise how bad it had got for Jason. He didn't realise he could nearly die, it was like Robbie had just been punched in the stomach. Everything that Jason was doing, was because of him. He was reason that he never ate, he was the reason why he was always out on runs and he was the reason why Jason felt so bad about himself.
"I didn't realise he got so bad", Robbie said, "look I promise I'll stop yeah and he'll get better", he said while putting one arm around Holly.
The next day Robbie sat down with Jason and explained everything. About how he was jealous and in trouble with Trevor. Robbie wasn't sure whether Jason would forgive him or whether he'd be able to move on, but one thing Robbie was sure of was, was that he was always going to support Jason.
