I have a friend. His name’s Carter. Honestly, I’ve known him for years now and ever since we were both really young. His family’s pretty screwed and he’s got anxiety. He’s really sweet and just would listen to anyone and trust anyone.
Yeah well, recently, about a month or two ago, he started dating this guy called Blake who’s two years older then him and a senior. And yeah, it’s adorable and he was really happy about it obviously. Blake seems nice and he’s sort of a dork sometimes too, so that’s always good.
Things are getting weird though. Carter always wears like, a tonne of clothes no matter the weather. He’s just really wide eyed and jumpy. Every time someone raises their voice he jumps. He doesn’t eat. I mean yes, he said he doesn’t really like eating in front of people at school but he’s getting skinny really fast and I don’t know what’s going on.
It’s really strange because Carter would tell me anything. He’s always trusted me with anything. I can still read him like a book but that’s the only reason I know something is up.
He doesn’t go anywhere anymore and Blake always picks him up after school in his car and says he can’t hang out with “certain friends”. I’m so over it and Carter looks like he’s falling apart.
