Recovery (a one direction love story)

Shopping trip

Chapter four

After all the boys left me to get ready I walked into my bathroom and stripped my clothes off. I turned the shower on and stepped in letting the hot water wash the icky plane feeling from my skin. Zayn had stocked my bathroom with my favorite organix shampoo, conditioner and body wash. After I washed myself I stepped out into the cold air finding a towel in the cabinet under the sink. I ventured back to my room where I found that one of the boys brought up my suitcase. I opened it looking for something presentable. I found a pair of black jeans that I paired with a floral tank top and a denim jacket. I blew my naturally wavy hair dry. When It was down it went to about the bottom of my rib cage. I applied minimal makeup which for me is powder and mascara. I was just about to shut the light off and leave when something caught my eye. Leaning up against the cabinet was a scale. I set it down and hesitantly stepped on. It had been three months since I weighed myself because they didn't allow scales at the Victorian. 99.3 lbs flashed and I felt horrible. I was about to step off when Zayn walked in. "Victoria What are you doing?"

"Nothing" he pushed me aside and looked down. He looked up at me and frowned. "Really?"

"Sorry"

"Don't apologize, I'm sorry I forgot it was in here. I don't want it to mess with your recovery."

"It won't I was just curious"

"Okay" he said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the bathroom I stopped and grabbed my white vans and slipped them on. When I first got to rehab I weighed 79lbs during recovery I guess I gained 11lbs I know I shouldn't care and that I'm not fat it just seems weird. Zayn and I walked downstairs to find four boys asleep on the sectional. "Wake up assholes" Zayn yelled. When all they did was moan and groan I decided to take matters into my own hands. I jumped on Niall and started bouncing. "Whyy?!" Niall groaned. "You guys said we were going shopping" I pouted. Niall nodded and threw me off of him and on to Harry. "Oof" he grunted when we made impact. "Sorry Niall uhh-"

"No need to apologize love" he said with a wink. God his tired voice was even sexier than his normal deep husky one. "Umm okay" I got up blushing. He held out his hand for me to help him up. I did so but when I tried to pull my hand away he didn't let go he just casually held my hand and led me out the door. Zayn had already woken up Louis and Liam so we all piled into the van again but this time Liam drove. Harry still had my hand in his. I looked from our hands to his eyes. He only smiled and gave me a wink.

"I've never been to a British mall before" I said as we pulled into the parking complex. "They're pretty similar to American ones, I'm sure you'll find things you like." Harry replied and opened the door pulling me out with him. Our hands still intertwined. "Awww look at them so cute"

"They look like a couple already"

"Looks like Harry has a crush" said three voices from behind us harry turned and gave them all glares I just ignored them smiling up at Harry when he looked at me. He towered over me. I was only 5"4 and he was 5"10. We walked into the mall and stopped to look at the directory. "Why don't we all split up and meet back here in two hours?" Offered Zayn. "Sounds good" I replied. "Okay great I'm with Niall Liam you're with Zayn and you and Harry are together." Louis said with a wink they all walked away leaving me and Harry standing there still hand in hand. I looked at the directory intently searching for forever 21. When I couldn't find it I looked up at Harry and said "where's forever 21?"

"What's that love?" He looked confused. "My favorite store I guess you guys don't have it here" I said frowning. Harry put his two fingers under my chin and made me look up into his green eyes "please don't frown you're far too beautiful" he said smiling. I blushed and nodded. "We'll find something you like" he said taking my hand again and guiding me to a store called New look. It had similar clothes to forever 21 so I was happy I started to browse Harry's hand still in mine. Within 10 minutes my arms were full of clothes. "Did you bring a bathing Suit?" Harry asked.

"Uhh no"

"Well lets find you one" he said. We found the swimwear section and I started to skim through the choices. To my surprise so did Harry. I looked up and saw him holding up a skimpy push up bikini. "I like this one" he said with a devilish grin. "Of course you do" I said shooting him a glare. "Pleaseeee try it on" he whined like a little kid. "Fine" I caved. We walked to the fitting room the lady sowed me to my cubicle and had Harry sit right in front of it to wait and see. I didn't show harry any of the clothes I was trying on. I liked them all but felt awkward. After a while he called to me "have you tried on the bathing suit yet?"

"Not yet"

"Show me when you do" he half shouted. It was the last thing I had to try on I slipped it on and examined myself in the mirror. I don't know how long it's been since I've worn a bikini. It was nice plain black with silver beads along the line of cleavage. The push up made my B cup breasts look like C's. I stuck my head out of the curtain to see the curly headed boy tapping away at his phone. I cleared my throat to let him know I was there. He looked up and smiled. "Lemme see" he said. I stepped out and he stood up. Eying me up and down. "Wow"

"Wow like wow she looks bad or wow like-"

"Wow like you look amazing" he cut me off. I blushed and went back to change. I stepped out again this time fully clothed my arms full of clothes. We walked over to the register where the cashier greeted us with a fake smile. She scanned the tags of all the clothes and said "your total is 500 pounds" my jaw dropped at the amount. I started to reach for my wallet when I saw harry already giving her his credit card. "Harry no I've got it"

"Please I want to"

"Okay thank you so much" I said and gave him a hug and a quick peck on the cheek. I noticed him blush a little as I pulled away. I received my 4 giant bags full of clothes and we started towards where we were supposed to meet the boys. They were all there waiting for us. "Took you long enough" Liam said. "Yeah what'd you do have sex in and elavator?" Zayn said causing me to blush. Harry punched his arm playfully. We strolled to the van and piled in my bags taking up a seat of there own. I didn't know how tired I was until we started driving. My eyes became heavy and I felt myself slipping away. The last thing I remember was a hand pushing my head down to they're shoulder and an arm slipping around me.
