One Fateful Phone Call - One Direction

Chapter 5

VICTORIA'S POV

Dinner with Danielle went great! I actually ate most of the things on my plate. I sat by Niall so that sort of helped with the motivation. It is now after dinner and Danielle is staying the night. We decided to watch a movie so we are in the middle of watching Iron Man, I actually haven't seen it and the boys insisted.

I suddenly felt this wave a nausea wash over me. My eyes went wide as I politely excused myself and went upstairs to the bathroom. I was lucky I made it to the toilet when I did because all of my dinner, lunch and breakfast came up in a heap, my throat was burning and my eyes were watering constantly. I hated the feeling yet I know it all too well.

NIALL'S POV

I notice Victoria get up rather fast to go to the bathroom, so I decided to follow her to see if she was going to get sick.

"I'm gonna go and check on her." I whispered to Liam as she had told Liam the story so he knew what I was talking about. Surprisingly he agreed, huh. So as I approached the bathroom I heard heaving so I thrust the door open to reveal a frail little girl leaning over the toilet. I instantly rushed to her pulling back her hair, rubbing her back and saying everything was going to be okay.

A few minutes later she stopped throwing up the contents of her stomach and started to cry.

"Victoria, why are you crying love?" I asked her pulling her into me so I had my back against the wall and her sitting on my lap.

"It's just," she said between sobs, "I haven't done this in 2 days and I was doing so well. But now all that progress is down the drain." I shushed her and continued to comfort her saying that everything was going to be okay and that she should be happy because her birthday is tomorrow.

I heard feet padding up the stairs and I recognized it to be Liam. He came to the door and I explained what Vic had done. He took her in his arms and carried her off to her bedroom as I sat there on the bathroom floor. I finally got up, flushed the toilet, and went back downstairs.

"What happened?" Danielle asked me as Liam was still upstairs with Victoria.

"She wasn't feeling well is all." I told her with a smile trying to play off that everything was fine. She nodded even though I knew she didn't buy it.

"This movie is so boring, I've already seen it like six times." Harry said groaning and resting his head on Louis' shoulder. I knew they had something going on, even though they didn't tell anyone, you'd have to be blind not to see the love in their eyes.

"Let's just go to bed, I'm tired." Louis whined crossing his arms.

"I agree, I'm way out of it, are you staying tonight Dani?" I asked her standing up and stretching. She nodded her head and got up to go to Liam's room. I followed her up the stairs and went to my room. But not before stopping by Victoria's to see if she was alright. I heard soft sobs coming from the other side of her door so I decided to go in.

VICTORIA'S POV

I had finally convinced Liam to go back to his room and stop watching me because of the previous incident. When he took me to my room... Wow, I can't say 'Liam Payne took me to my room' without bursting out in laughter in my head. Yeah, I'm pretty messed up, you've probably figured that out by now.

Anyway, when he took me to my room he kept telling me everything was going to be okay and that I was perfect and should never do those things again, and so on. That just got me feeling even worse about myself, but I played it off like I was okay and Liam went back to his room. I just laid there in my bed crying, hoping to fall asleep so I wouldn't lower my self-esteem any more than I already had.
