Michael
I knew I gained a little weight, it's pretty obvious because my belly is rounder, I have squishy love handles, and my face is fuller, but I didn't think it would be a big deal until management saw me.
"Michael!" Our manager, Carl, shouted and I ran over to him. "What is this?" He gestured to my belly that was slightly sticking out and visible through my shirt. "Just a little bit of weight I put on." I shrugged, "A little!?" He snapped and my heart sank. "Michael you've let yourself go completely! Do you think the fans will enjoy this?!" "N-no Carl." I frowned, "Then I suggest you make it go away." He scolded and I nodded before walking away. Do I really look that bad? I walked home since I lived close to the studio and walked up to my room, pulling off my shirt and putting my hands on my hips as I stared at my reflection. I traced a stretch mark and a tear fell down my cheek, Carl was right, I couldn't look like this. I started crying, multiple tears falling down my cheeks and dripping onto the carpet, I sniffled and poked my belly, frowning at the dip it made. I felt two arms snake around my waist and my eyes met Calum's in the mirror, "I didn't mean for this to happen." I sniffled and pinched my love handles, leaving red marks behind. Calum turned me around and pulled me into his chest, I let out a sob into his chest and he stroked my greyish looking hair. "Am I fat and ugly?" I sniffled and looked up at Calum, "Michael, no." He whsipered. "Carl says I should take all of this off." I sniffled and jiggled my belly, "I'll talk with him. Michael, I love this. I think it's beautiful." Calum smiled and put a hand on my belly, rubbing it slightly with his thumb. "Are you sure? Because I'm having second thoughts on this...." I trailed off and Calum connected our lips, "You.Are.Gorgeous." Calum smiled and pecking my lips in between each word. I giggled and he pinched my love handles softly, "I love you." He smiled, "I love you too." I grinned and pecked his lips.
