Even secretly dating him was an issue. He was a...

THE NUMBERS BLINKED in red at me and I couldn't stop staring. Every week I weighed myself while trying to watch what I ate but in one week I'd lost thirty pounds. I don't understand how because I have been eating normal amounts. Not to mention all the chinese food I ate a Luke's a few days ago.
A loud pounding on the door made me jump out of my stupor. "Kaley, hurry up! Gustavo has some good news for us!" Kendall yelled before mumbling a comment to someone else.
Numbly, I pulled my clothing on, noticing how baggy it looked on me than normal. I loved oversized clothing but this makes me look like a kid in her father's sweatshirt.
Before they could notice, I ran to my room and grabbed my hockey hoodie. Hopefully, they won't notice.
"Do you want a muffin?" Mom asked as we all filled out the door. I shook my head, a lump in my throat. Though, I did grab a water bottle to sip on.
In the car, Carlos sat next to me so I didn't have to sit near James. Though it wasn't comfortable being squished into the door. My mind was swirling, trying to figure out where I wasn't eating enough.
I didn't even remember walking into the building until we were standing in front of a very excited Kelly and a stone-cold Gustavo.
"Boys! Today I got news. News that is going to change your lives," he began, pausing for dramatic effect. "You're going on a world tour!"
The boys were cheering as I stood there frozen. It was amazing news, but I didn't want to be a part of it. I wanted a break from them. The last thing I wanted is to be cramped in a tour bus with them for half a year.
"This is awesome! I can't wait to explore a bunch of cities!" Carlos exclaimed, bouncing on his heels.
"I can't wait to meet ladies," James said, running his hand through his hair. I can't believe I found him attractive.
"Am I coming with?" I asked cutting off Kendall and Logan from saying what they were excited for. My head was swimming and a panic attack was creeping up my spine.
Gustavo gave me a dirty look. The same one that I always got, but this time it cut into me differently. What the heck was happening? "Of course not! I need you here to keep everything running. Trust me. I won't run out of things for you to do," he yelled, making me grit my teeth. I hated my boss. Work is the bane of my existence now and I hated it. I had no choice but to take this job. It was easier back then when I got along with everyone else.
Whatever he has for me, I'll do it if it means I won't be stuck with them for months.
Kelly began explaining to the boys what they needed to do in the months coming and what to pack. I had to sit down and put my head between my knees to catch my breath. My chest hurt with every breath.
A hand rested on my back and I practically jumped out of my skin. Kendall was standing there with a concerned look on his face. "Are you alright?" He asked, kneeling down to rub my back better.
