The Sickly Sweet Mistake (A One Direction FanFic) [On Hold]

Chapter 6- Balance

Liam

I finally got the pizza I had ordered.Ham and Pineapple, Olivia's favorite. I took the box, left the store and headed back to the hotel.

When I got back, I realized Olivia didn't have a room key. I looked down he hall. She wasn't sitting outside the door waiting, so i assumed she was inside. As I passed Niall and Zayn's shared room, i heard a groaning sound. Poor Zayn, I thought, probably another bad dream. I frowned and kept walking. As I passed Lou and Harry's room, I didn't hear a thing. Napping, I guessed. Then I grabbed my key from my pocket to unlock the room. as I opened the door, laughter erupted out of the room, and I saw Niall and Louis doubled over on one bed, Olivia on the other with her back turned to me. She whipped around and smiled.

"Oh, hey Liam! Come join the party!" She waved for me to come in and join. I walked in and put down the pizza. Then i noticed the plates of crumbs.

"You already ate?" I exclaimed. I must've looked terrified. "You're still balanced right?" I must have yelled, because she recoiled a little to my question. She nodded.

"Balance? Balance what?" Louis asked. Then out of nowhere Niall side tackled him, pushing him in the bed.

"Oh, its nothing" Olivia told him. Then she turned her attention to me. "I'm fine. I didn't eat any dessert, because I didn't know what was in them." she out her hands on her hips and looked at me with an oh-so-familiar expression. "You know, I'm not a baby anymore. I can pay attention to what I'm eating, what I do, who I'm with." she added a bit of a nod towards the lads wrestling on the bed.

I sighed, she was right. "Ok, you're right. I do know that. And I should trust you to pay attention. But that means you need to trust me that I'm only trying to help." I gave her a stern look, something she easily returned. She didn't want sympathy, I could tell. She obviously hadn't told them her secret, so I wasn't going to tell them.

"Thank you." she whispered.

"Don't sweat it. I'm gonna have a shower. I'll be back in ten minutes." I stepped towards the bathroom. "Don't get into trouble. And keep an eye on the lads." She laughed and I walked into the bathroom, locked the door, and turned on the tap.

Olivia

Liam implied he was giving me time to tell them. But I wasn't. I wasn't ready to own up to it. Not ready to tell them what "balanced" meant. I took a deep breath and turned back to the lads, who were still wrestling on the bed. I kept a calm composure as I watched them.

That is, until Niall falls off the bed. I doubled over laughing. I laughed harder and harder until I could breath and tears came to my eyes. By then, Louis and Niall had joined in and we just laughed. I bet everyone in the hotel could hear us, but we kept laughing.

We only stopped laughing when my stomach growled. I was still adjusting to how much I could eat. Niall and Louis looked at me, then each, then kept laughing.

"Still hungry, are we?" Louis teased.

"Well I'm hungry too!" Niall whined.

"Here, have you ever tried one of these?" Louis offered me a chocolate eclair.

"Um... I shouldn't... I can't..." I stuttered

"Don't spoil the fun!" Louis pouted. "Niall! Grab her!"

Before I knew what was going on, Niall grabbed me and louis stuffed the eclair in my mouth.

I couldn't spit it out. But I couldn't swallow it very well either, it was too much in my mouth at once. But I wasn't choking. I swallowed it in chunks, unable to get away, or do anything else about it. When I finished, I coughed a lot.

"See? It wasn't that bad, now was it?" Louis teased me.

"You know what? That was kind of tasty." I gave him a little smile. "But don't get any ideas, I really can't have another!" I urged them, as my stomach growled, giving away how hungry I was.

"You are NOT fat, you can eat it!" Niall pressed.

I opened my mouth to protest, but another bite was shoved in my mouth. I swallowed it. Niall still hadn't let me go.

"Ok, now let. Me. GO!" I screamed, which must've seemed more playful than scared, because the two of them laughed. Niall let me go.

Just then, Liam came out of the bathroom. "Wanna go for a walk?" He asked.

"Ok, sure!" I answered. I wanted a chance to tell him what happened. Maybe even go to a doctor, but I felt fine.

I got up to go.

And that was it.
