“ She looks tiny “
Luke’s head snapped up at Michaels comment, his eyes glanced over to where you were sitting comfortably on the sofa. Laughing at something Calum had said.
The boys insisted that you come join them on their tour, it’s only been a few weeks since then but you had already dropped 7 kilos in the span of 2 weeks, and Luke was starting to notice.
You saw luke approaching you and calum from the corner of your eye, he hunched over to sit next to you. Wrapping an arm around your shoulder, his hand gently brushed against your protruding collar bone.
He didn’t say anything, but you noticed his slight change in demeanour.
“ Luke you okay? “ You turn your head to face his
“ I could ask you the same thing Y/N “ He pinched your cheek
“ What? “ You brushed his hand off your face
“ Nevermind “ He sat up and stalked off
You and Calum sat across from each other , silently receiving one another awkward looks.
“ What was that about? “ Calum scoffed as he brought a red bull up to his mouth and gulped down the last few bits.
You shrugged, and continued to chat with Calum
Though you wondered if Luke meant what he had said earlier, He knew that you had been wanting to lose weight for months now. and now that you have made some progress he’s all grouchy about it?
it all seems really odd to me.
a few hours pass and it was dinner time
the worst time of day, you were always forced to eat whatever was put infront of you, this was just ruining everything you worked for. and it made you feel horrible about yourself.
“ Eat up! “ Ashton placed a large plate of a assorted veggies and fries on the side infront of you and the others.
“ Thanks mate “ Calum exclaimed, he began eating at a rapid rate. You’ve always wondered how the boy had such a large appetite though he weighed so little.
the rest of the boys began to eat as well, scooping up their peas and scarfing it down.
You watched them intently, completely forgetting about the food placed infront of you. ready to be eaten.
“ Why aren’t you eating? “ Ashton snapped you out of your daydream, your eyes fluttered around trying to come up with a believable excuse.
You frowned and said “ I don’t feel like it right now, maybe later “
You looked over at Luke, he definitely wasn’t buying it.
“ You look so pale Y/N “ Calum pinched at your cheek
“ Er Stop! why does everyone keep doing that? “ You squirmed while Calum giggled
“ Y/N “ Luke spoke, his voice was steady and his eyes were fixated on you. He wasnt playing around
“ When was the last time you’ve eaten? “ He questioned, whilst picking apart his broccoli
“ Why? “
“ Cmon Y/N, i’m not stupid, i know you’re starving yourself” Luke’s voice suddenly got quiet.
Things have gotten awkward, not because he was right, but because of all the stares.
“ I’m gonna go “ Michael sat up and sauntered over to his bedroom.
“ I’ll have to admit, i haven’t been eating right.” Your voice shuddered a bit, you felt so cold. your body temperature was basically 0
“ We can tell “ Ashton leaned forward to grab your wrist
“ you’ve gotten so thin y/n.. this isn’t okay. “ He frowned
“ I’m sorry. “ you suddenly felt tears spill over your eyes, you tried to hold them back but the pressure in your throat was too much to handle.
“ i-i thought if i could lose some weight, the fans wouldn’t taunt me so much “ you managed to let out between sobs
Calum threw an arm around you and held you close to your chest, “ it’s gonna be alright Y/N “ he whispered
Luke sat closer towards you and wiped a tear from rolling down your cheek, “ You’re the prettiest girl i know, and nothing will ever change that. So please don’t change yourself for those so called fans. “
“ We love you so much Y/N “ Ashton smiled, his smile was so contagious you began to crack a smile as well.
“ We’ll help you through this. Just please eat a few bites. “
Luke planted a soft kiss on the top of your head, and held your hand in his own.
“ Jesus your cold.. “ He shuddered
“ I know. “
“ We’ll fix that. “ Ashton got up and held you tight in a hug, the others began to hug you as well
The boys helped you through many things, and they’ll continue to help you through more.
