Luke wiped some flour on my face as I laughed beside him. I don't know why we ever thought cooking together like this was a good idea. It always ended in a huge mess and them complaining about having to clean it up. 

"Lil?" I turned around as I bopped to the music playing on the radio. "Mine keeps sticking." I laughed at Aiden who's hands were stuck with the sticky base. 

"Did you use flour?" I giggled, walking over to sort him out. 

"Wait. Flour? When did you say to use that?" I shook my head, flouring the surface before I could start to fix his mess. 

"Turn it up Luke." He turned his head slightly before doing as I asked. Bailey shook his head at me. "What?" 

"Nothing." He continued shaking, looking down at his dough as I pulled more off Aiden's fingers. 

"Did you even follow what I said A? This looks so wrong." I giggled and he huffed, wiping his gross hands down my hoodie. "AIDEN." 

"I WAS STICKY." 

"SO? YOU DON'T WIPE IT ON ME." I looked down at myself, grabbing a handful of flour and covering him in it with a quick throw. "Ha." 

"Oh not this again." Bailey chuckled, moving to the doorway out of the way as a food fight started between me and Aiden. Flour, tomatoes, cheese. A whole mess. This was his fault. I wasn't cleaning this up.  

"You guys need to chill. Pretty princess won't like the mess." Luke rolled his eyes, standing between us, which wasn't his smartest move as I didn't notice, throwing some more flour at A and covering Luke. "LILIANA!" 

"Shit." 

"Shit indeed." I tried to get past Bailey who was blocking the doorway, refusing to let us move out of the kitchen. "Bails!" 

"Nope. You're not trashing the rest of the house too." I screamed as Luke cracked an egg on the top of my head, it running down my hair. I stood there with my mouth open as Bailey laughed slyly. I could see he was trying to hide it as best as he could. Not very well but he was trying nonetheless. "You have something-" 

"If you say in my hair, I swear to god." I chuckled and he smirked. I put my hand up into my hair, smearing it down his black V neck as the front door opened. A quick distraction before this got worse. He looked back at me quickly, giggling as he grabbed some egg from my head and walked down to Robbie. I turned back to the guys and then back to him. This was going to be hilarious. Luke handed me a towel and I wiped my face, smiling uncontrollably. 

"Hi Robs." 

"Hi Bai- What the hell is going on here?" He smirked as he looked back at me. "What did I miss?" 

"Food fight." I chuckled, turning the smile fake as Sophia walked in behind him. Perfect little tight dress and six inch heels. This was a casual movie night. At least wear something a little more comfortable Sophia. I snickered under my breath and Luke leaned down beside me. 

"God, she off to the club or something." I looked up at him and pressed my lips together, wiping some more of the egg on him. 

"So Robin. You know you pissed Lil off?" He rolled his eyes, closing the door and helping Sophia with her jacket. 

"Yes." He looked back at me. "Are you still on that?" 

"No." I raised an eyebrow crossing my arms and smirking as he looked back at Bailey. He didn't waste anytime in wiping the egg across his face and we all burst into laughter. 

"That is disgusting." Sophia looked at him. "Go wash your face babe. Thank god you didn't get it on my coat Bailey." Bails turned, rolling his eyes at me as we walked back into the kitchen. I was trying so hard not to laugh. The guys weren't. "Oh my god. Lilly. You're such a mess!" I looked at her from the Aiden's pizza base, finishing fixing it for him. I shrugged my shoulders. 

"It's only food. It'll wash out." I looked up at her as Robin walked back into the room, smiling sweetly and acting like the perfect friend I was. "We're making pizza if you guys want to join I can set you up-" 

"No thanks." She answered for him. "We're watching what we eat aren't we Robbie? Do you know how many carbs are in pizza? No. We need to be in top shape." She smiled, running her fingers along his hairline as he put his hand on her hip. "You could do it with us too Lilly! I can give you all my diet tips the dietician gave me. It's not easy, loosing weight and keeping it off but it's so worth it when you look this good." 

I smiled at her, turning around, continuing on with my base. Suddenly I wasn't hungry. I felt Bailey watching me as he gently nudged me. Looking up, I shook my head, telling him to leave it. 

"Lil doesn't do diets." Luke snapped at her and I turned my head. 

The first thing that had happened back when my photo was everywhere was it kickstarted the dormant ED I had sitting in the back of my brain. I'd been on top of it at that point for 4 years. Very rarely slipping back into starving myself. But that was a hard year. Especially after the comments. I wasn't even big. I had normal tummy rolls. Nothing any other normal woman doesn't have. 

"Luke." He scowled at Robin as I stared at him. 

"Come on Soph. Let's go pick a movie whilst these guys sort everything out in here." He closed the door behind them. Not even a mention of it. Like it was nothing. Didn't want to make her feel bad I guess? 

"Lil-" 

"It's fine." I swallowed. "I'm gonna go wash this egg out of my hair over the bath. Can you sort the toppings? I won't be long." I put the towel down, walking out of the room. I needed a few minutes to click my head back in place. 

"Sure what do you-" I closed the door behind me again, walking up the stairs silently. I could hear them giggling in his room. Snarling as I walked past, stepping into the bathroom and locking the door as I slowly slid down it. 

Tonight was going to be a long night.
