26: dinner pt. 2

(i will let you all know when the song is meant to be played.. thank me later.. or not)

aria's pov:
nick is still by the bar ordering beers and i'm just on my phone.. scrolling through instagram when i see diego tagged me in something..
it was a picture with him on his bed.. shirtless with the caption
'someone tell aria spring to get her ass home please'.
all i'm going to say is that he got a lot of likes with that one.
i'm a little concerned but i laugh, i just like the post and move on.
"why are you on your phone? bit boring innit" harry takes my phone.
"give it back you piece of shit."
i attempt to take my phone off him but he stands up and scrolls up.
"diego..? who's diego?" he laughs.
"diego is my roommate." i get out of my chair and get my phone from harry.
"roommate eh?" he laughs.
"fuck off" i sit back in my chair and go back on my phone. then nick comes back.
"here we are guys." he places the tray of beers on the table.
"eh nick.. we're missing one!" ben counts the beers over and over.
"yeah.. i'm not having one." he smiles and holds my hand this time.
"why not?" ben frowns.
"i'm not a big drinker." he shrugs.
"what a shame. do you drink aria??" ben looks at me.
"hm??" i pretend i didn't here him.
"i said.. do you drink?" he takes a sip.
"oh um." my leg bounces again.
"i don't know.. i've gotten drunk loads of um, times but.."
"but what..?" harry adds.
"i uh.. i need to go to the toilet." i excuse myself and leave.
"nice one." i hear otis say.
once i get into the bathroom, i just stay by the sink for a bit.. not doing anything, just staring at myself in the mirror.
god i'm so insecure.
i fix my hair and add more mascara before i go back out..
i pull my skirt down and then go back to the table.
when i get back i see the waitress taking everyone's order for food.
i sit back down at my seat and take a deep breath.
"what are you having aria??" sai asks and the waitress stares at me, waiting for my order.
"oh um." i see the whole group looking at me now. "i'm not having anything.."
"why are you here then?" ben laughs.
"oh i don't.. i didn't, i-" i struggle to get my words out.
"because i wanted her here." nick answers for me.
"bit of a waste innit?" ben laughs with harry.
"what do you mean it's a waste?" nick's voice gets a little louder.
"well if she's not going to eat then why is she even here?" harry looks at me. i just look down.
"harry don't" christian hits his arm.
"she's not hungry. and besides, what's it got to do with you?" nick's voice is louder than usual and he stands up to get in harry's face.
"nick just leave it" i grab his arm to pull him into his seat.
"yeah, listen to your girl mate." most of the boys laugh at that.
"anyways.. anyone want to go the fair after we eat? it's only down the road..?" christian asks.
"i will only if aria is up for it." nick holds my hand and rubs it with his thumb.
"oh um, i don't know. maybe..?" i make the sentence a question. everyone else says yes.
then the food comes.
i sit there awkwardly watching everyone eat.
i feel so awkward right now.
"want a bite?" nick asks.
"no thanks" i smile.
"you sure?? it's really good" he looks at me guilty, like he's done something wrong.
"i'm sure, i will eat later." i smile.

once everyone has finished eating, we all pay the bill together.. so we pay what we owe and then we go.
(TW: eating disorders)
we are walking to the fair and i hear harry say something to the group behind me and nick.
"guys.. i think aria has an eating disorder."
"yeah same.. it was really weird that she was only one without food" one boy replies.
i feel tears coming to my eyes.
"it's okay mon amour, don't listen to them.. you don't have one right?" nick tries to cheer me up.
".." i don't reply. i think that worries him a bit.
"oh." he replies and holds my hand.
they keep talking behind us.
"d'you reckon she has anorexia?" sai asks.
"maybe.." harry laughs.
"pathetic." ben rolls his eyes.
i feel my eyes getting closer and closer to let the tears out.
nick stops and hugs me.
thats when i break down.
(music time luvs <3)
everyone just stands there, and some people laugh, some people point at me, some people just stare. nobody really knows what to do.
"nick.. is she okay?" sai asks.
"just give us 5 minutes, you can go ahead." he smiles.
"okay." sai says and they walk off, i see harry's face drop and he looks sorta sad.
"hey.. ari, you alright?" nick asks, still hugging me.
"yeah, i don't know why i'm crying. i'm not supposed to cry." i laugh through my tears.
"shut up, you can cry if you want too" nick strokes my hair.
"mhm." i mumble into his shoulder.
"do you need a minute here?" nick hugs me tighter.
"yes please." my words get muffled but nick still seems to understand what i'm saying.
"okay." he holds me close and we stay like that, without saying anything. all you can hear are my soft sniffles.
"i don't get why they always pick on me." i try to un muffle myself.
"it's okay, we're in this together" he puts his head in the crook of my neck.
"they always want to hurt me." i start to cry again.
"as long as i'm here, no one can hurt you." nick holds my waist.
"i fucking love you" i cry harder.
"awh aria." he's so supportive of me.
"i'm a mess" i laugh.
"if i could change, the way that you see yourself. you wouldn't wonder why your here. they don't deserve you." he wipes my mascara off my face.
"you're so cute" i quickly kiss him.
"haven't done that in a while" he laughs.
"true." i smile.
"do you want me to carry you to the fair?" nick suggests.
"sure" i smile.
we hug again and then i jump so he can carry me.
i sure love this boy.
within 10 minutes, we get to the fair and me and nick pay £1 to get in, he's also still carrying me.
we see the guys and sai laughs.
"look at you guys!"
"so cute!" christian makes a stupid romantic kissy face.
"lemme take a picture to post on my story" sai takes out his phone and tags us in his post.

(i know the girl doesn't have a dress on but please make do with what i chose..)

"anyways, what ride we going ti go in first lads?" harry asks while walking to the token box.
i get off nick and he holds my hand.
"umm, i don't know." nick replies and asks for 30 tokens.
"i wanna go on the dodgems first!" i say excitedly.
"lemme guess, i'm driving?" nick looks at me.
"..." i pause. "yes."
"okay then." i grab his hand and drag him over to the dodgems.
"whatever the girl wants, she gets" christian sighs.
"me and nick get into a car and he takes a picture.

after the dodgems, we go on a few more rides and then sarah picks us up.

when we get back to nicks..
we watch a movie and cuddle.. just to end the night off just right..

I love this boy.
