Prompted by JasonFTW- Jason finds out about Robbie and Holly and has a complete relapse.
Chapter 26- was I that bad?:
Jason looked in the mirror; he couldn't believe this was happening. Robbie and Holly. Robbie and Holly! He should have known, he was never going to be good enough for Holly, he never has been and never will be.
For months he had ignored the voice in his head, he told himself that Holly wanted him for who he was, not who he wasn't. He was Jason and not Body Dysmorphic Disorder. However looking in the mirror, he couldn't see anything that made him good. Robbie was so much better than him and that therefore meant he was so much better for Holly.
Jason knew he had to get back in shape, not for Holly but for himself, he had to do it for himself. For his reputation and image, because who wants to admit they know the fat kid. He was going to do it and no one was going to stop him.
Jason went downstairs the next morning to find Robbie sitting down at the table with a plate of pancakes in front of him. As soon as he saw Jason, he stood up from his seat and walked over to him.
"Look, I know it's not a massive thing but I made us pancakes for breakfast. You know just like the good old days" Robbie said. Jason looked over at the pancakes, even the smell was making him feel sick. Jason knew what was Robbie was trying to do, he knew that the voice in his head was telling the truth. Robbie was doing this so he'd make Jason even fatter than he was; of course he was.
"I know what you're trying to do" Jason said and Robbie frowned. "What?" Robbie asked, trying to work out what Jason was saying. All he'd done was make them breakfast; pancakes to be exact, he couldn't see what he'd done wrong.
"Jase, what are you talking about?" Robbie asked and Jason sighed. He just wanted to get out of there and go for a run.. The voice was getting louder and louder in his head, it was like a headache that never went away; in fact it was a headache.
"Look, just forget it" Jason said. He turned around and walked through the hall the front door, slamming it behind him as he left. Robbie just shook his head as the door slammed, he had no clue what Jason was going on about. What was he apparently trying to do? Robbie just sighed, he'd keep an eye on him but that's all he could do.
Jason ran down the path, his legs working tirelessly and not stopping. He thought about Robbie, why was he trying to do that to Jason; trying to feed him pancakes with loads of sugar. He wasn't normal anyways he didn't need anyone making it worse.
As he ran, a part of his brain knew that this was how it always started. It would start off slow and then get worse, then his brothers would fine out, then they'd try and help him and then he'd collapse and go to hospital. It was the same every time.
His legs just kept on going, even though he could feel his stomach starting to give way. He'd had nothing to eat since yesterday lunch time; again, if this is what it takes then Jason will do it. After all, no one is ever going to like the fat kid.
Jason got back home and went straight upstairs to his room, not even bothering to check if anyone was downstairs. He walked into his room and locked the door, walking over to the mirror, his breathing heavy.
Jason lifted up his top. He grimaced; it didn't look right. None of him looked right. He put his top back down and ran a hand through his hair. He couldn't eat now and would have to exercise even more. Robbie wouldn't get past him, no one would.
The next few weeks got worse for Jason but he couldn't work out why. He was losing weight; not eating and exercising more. However, he just couldn't work out why he felt so bad. Then, one day when he was out for a run he realised: Robbie and Holly.
It drove Jason mad. How did Robbie get everything he wanted; he had the perfect girl and the perfect body; that's all Jason wanted.
"Alright Jase?" Joe asked as Jason walked into the living room that morning. He'd noticed something up with Jason ever since Robbie had spoke to him a couple of weeks ago. Now Jason seemed to be even worse. "Yeah, I'm fine" Jason said, avoiding eye contact.
"Going somewhere?" Joe asked as he noticed Jason was dressed in his running clothes. "Just out" Jason said, he really had to get going. "Out anywhere special?" Joe asked, he could see the anger in Jason's eyes and was prepared for a flip out.
"Just keep your nose out of my business!" Jason shouted, just as Joe had predicted. "Alright, alright. Do you want something to eat before you go?" Joe asked, now he was recognising the signs. "I know what you're trying to do Joe, so stop!" Jason again shouted.
Joe nodded, his suspicions had been confirmed. Jason was suffering from his eating disorder again. "Alright, you just go on your run" Joe said, not wanting to continue to argument he was having. Jason huffed and walked out, slamming the door.
Joe sighed, he should have know something like this would happen. Jason had just found out his twin brother was having an affair with his wife; of course it was going to happen. He knew that something to be done, they had to intervene as a family to help Jason. All of them.
Joe went over to the garage, figuring that's where Ziggy and Freddie would be. "Alright Joe" Freddie said as Joe walked into the garage. "What's up with your face?" Ziggy asked as Joe walked over to them.
"I need your help" he said, and Robbie and Freddie frowned. "Help with what?" Freddie asked. "Is it lady advice?" Ziggy asked. "No, it's Jason" Joe said; that got Robbie and Freddie's attention. "Why, what's happened?" Freddie asked.
"Look, we should have seen it coming" Joe said. "Saw what coming, Joe?" Ziggy asked. Both of the brothers now concerned. "He's just lost his wife to his twin brother, we should have known it would come back" Joe said. "What would come back!" Freddie shouted, losing patience with his older brother. "His BDD" Joe replied.
Freddie and Ziggy were went silent, looking at each other. It had been at the back of their minds that this would happen but the pair hadn't acted on it, assuming that Jason would be alright. Except they were wrong.
Jason ran and ran, he didn't know where he was going or where he was going to stop; he just kept on going. His stomach was groaning and while he didn't see it, Jason was getting thin, dangerously thin. He ran up to a tree and leaned against it; he felt sick, running on a stomach that had been empty for weeks probably wasn't the best idea. But he had to keep going.
"So what exactly are we going to do then?" Freddie asked as the three Roscoe brothers arrived home. He knew Jason was stubborn, it was a Roscoe trait, so getting him to admit that he was suffering again would be a nightmare. "I'm going to ring the hospital and speak to the hospital, Ziggy you're going to speak to Jason; try and see what's going on in his head and Freddie you're gonna convince him to go to the hospital."
"How am I supposed to do that Joe? The kid's as stubborn as a brick wall!" Freddie shouted. Why did he have to get the hardest job? "I don't know, you'll think of something" Joe said. "So what exactly are you gonna do after ringing the hospital?" Ziggy asked. "I'm going to go and tell Robbie" Joe said.
"Alright Joe" Robbie said as Joe walked up to him as he was just walking out of price slice. "Have you noticed something up with Jason?" Joe asked and Robbie frowned. He didn't really see Jason or speak to him, their relationship was tense but he'd noticed something. "Well, sort of" Robbie replied and Joe looked at him intently.
"Weeks ago, I'd made Jason and I breakfast; it was pancakes but then when he came downstairs, he looked so angry. Like, he told me ' he knew what I was doing to him' and I just didn't know what to say" Robbie explained and Joe nodded. "Why are you asking anyways?" Robbie asked.
"We think that Jason's eating disorder may have come back" Joe explained. "We?" Robbie asked. "Me, Freddie and Ziggy" Joe said. "So why do you think it's came back?" Robbie asked, seeming oblivious to the obvious reason. "Because he's more closed off, not eating, exercising more, he looks awful and showing all of the signs from last time. Also, I don't want to offend you Rob, but I think the affair triggered it."
Robbie sighed, he should have know this would happen but still, he's not going to change his love life for his brother. "What do you want to do about it then?" Robbie asked, trying to work out what Joe's point was. "I want you to support him but also just know what's going on" Joe said before walking away to make a call to the hospital.
Jason stumbled into the house, his breathing heavy. He'd never ran that far before or that fast. He leaned against the wall, regaining his breath when Ziggy walked in. "Alright Jase" he said, clapping a hand down on his sweaty brother's shoulder. "You doing alright?" Ziggy asked Jason. He really wasn't good at this.
"Yeah, I'm good Zig. I'm just gonna go and take a shower" Jason said, before brushing past Ziggy and walking up the stairs. Ziggy sighed and walked back into the living room.
"That was quick" Freddie said, sounding confused as Ziggy walked into the living room. "Yeah, he's gone to take a shower." Freddie sighed. "You weren't supposed to let him take a shower. The both of us are going to speak to him when he's done" Freddie explained.
Jason walked into the bathroom and took off his top. He looked disgusting; his body really hated him. He quickly showered, carefully trying not to look down at his body. He finished and walked back into his room, drying himself off and getting changed.
"Right then, you ready?" Freddie asked Ziggy as they walked up the stairs. "Yeah" Ziggy replied. "Let's go then" Freddie said, knocking on Jason's door. "Jase, we're coming in" he said, before he and Ziggy walked in.
Jason was sitting down on the bed, so Freddie decided that he would stand and Ziggy could sit on the bed. "Look Jase, we don't want to do this but we've noticed that something's been up with you these past few weeks" Freddie said and saw Jason turn his head away from him. This again just confirmed his suspicions.
"Jase, all we wanna do is help ya. Don't go beating yourself up like this, there's plenty more fish in the sea" Ziggy said as he put an arm around Jason. Freddie glared at him, that wasn't the best thing to say in their situation.
Jason looked away from both his brother's, they'd found out and now they weren't gonna let it go. He tensed when he felt Ziggy's arm round him, but then relaxed. His brother could always give good hugs. Jason wanted to tell them everything, he wanted to release his feelings that he'd kept bottled up but he knew that he'd just break down, again. He took a shaky breath and was about to speak but Freddie beat him to it.
"Now, I don't want you to get mad at any of us but Joe rang the hospital and if you're willing to you can go in today and get some help" Freddie explained, bracing himself for one of Jason's outbursts. Except that didn't happen. Freddie saw a single tear roll down Jason's face before he broke down in Ziggy's arms.
Ziggy just held his younger his brother, he looked to Freddie with a sad look in his eyes. Freddie just looked slightly relieved, despite Jason breaking down, it didn't take much and Freddie had prepared himself for much worse.
15 minutes later, Joe walked into the house. He hadn't heard anything from Freddie or Ziggy so he was concerned. He looked around downstairs and didn't find anyone so he assumed they were upstairs. He walked upstairs and into to Jason's room where he found Freddie standing looking down at the bed where Ziggy was holding Jason, who by looking at his face had been crying.
"They've got a doctor waiting for when we're ready" Joe said. The room was silent when Jason sat up from Ziggy's grasp, he wiped his hand over his eyes and stood up. He didn't say anything or look at anyone as he walked past Joe, but all three brothers were right behind him. Joe was just glad that things didn't get as bad as last time.
"What did the doctor say?" Freddie asked as Joe walked back into the waiting room where he and Ziggy were. "They're gonna keep him over night, then get him transferred to outpatient. He said we were lucky to catch it early" Joe explained and the two brothers. All three of them were glad that Jason hadn't managed to nearly kill himself and was going to get better.
