Charlotte's POV

We were currently eating lunch at the dining table. Over the past few days of being with the Cliffords' I have learned a lot about their parenting skills. They eat every meal together, they share everything with each other, and they are all loving people. Every once in a while, they bring up their son who is on tour currently but I haven't met him in person yet.

"So Char, I heard that your birthday is in a few days." My new mom smiled.

"Yeah," I answered. "You guys don't need to do anything big. We usually never celebrate birthdays at my other house." I told him.

"Don't be silly, is there anything that you would like?" She asked.

I shook my head, "No it's okay." I blushed.

"Oh c'mon. There must be something that you would like." My new dad pushed.

"Well, um actually I've been trying to loose weight. It's been my biggest insecurity ever since I was little, and my parents never really encouraged me to do better." I told him.

"Oh that's perfect! My friend Leroy is a person trainer and is in town for the next couple months." My mom eagerly smiled.

"Does that mean I get to start losing weight soon?" I asked, my eyebrows raised.

"I'll call him after we eat our lunch." She chuckled.

"Yay! I can't wait for him to start training me." I smiled, finishing my last piece of salmon. "Thanks mom." I said for the very, very first time.

"You're welcome, Charlotte." She replied with a huge smile on her face.

"I'm Leroy and I'm gonna be your personal trainer, I'm going to help you how to live a healthy lifestyle, I'll teach you how to take care of your body and everything like that. And oh I almost forgot, I dance too. So don't worry we can be besties and everything like that, I don't bite." He giggled.

"Nice to meet you, Leroy. I'm Charl-"

"I know you, Charlotte Clifford." He laughed, cutting me off.

"Oh," I muttered. "When are we gonna start?" I asked.

"Right now." He smiled, while stretching his arms.

I started stretching my arms and my legs like him. "After we do all this stretching, we can start exercising."

"How long are we going to work out?" I questioned, stretching my arms.

"For about 2 hours and a half, don't worry we'll have a 4 minute break." He responded.

"You ready to work out?" He asked.

"Yeah." I replied.

"I can't hear you!" He chuckled.

"Really? Because that was pretty loud." I furrowed my eyebrows together.

"My goodness gracious. You my bestie ,have a lot to learn." He shook his head, playing music on his beats pill.

"Okay, go in a plank position with your hands wide. After that you lower your body for about four seconds and you come back up. Then, you do it over and over again eight times. It's okay if you can't get back up. You'll get used to it." He explained.

"You could've just told me to do a push up eight times." I told him.

I positioned myself and started lowering my body. After about 4 push ups, I was already tired and in need of water. I kept on going and looked to the side to see what Leroy was doing. He was scrolling on his phone, I decided to stop and quietly made it to the bathroom. But, before I even stood up. "Sweetheart, you're not going anywhere. You only need to do two push ups and we're doing another work out." He chuckled, still mindlessly scrolling on his phone.

I rolled my eyes and did 2 push ups. "Can I get a drink of water?" I questioned.

"Fine." Leroy sighed, putting his phone away.

"Good job! You lost 9 pounds already." Leroy cheered.

It's been a week and a half since I started working out. I work out four pm to six pm. I started to not eat junk food, like chips and soda. My body was starting to feel sore and achy from all the exercise. "You need motivation, Char!" Leroy said, after getting a drink of water.

"Oh. So are you going to wave food in front of me?" I questioned in a serious tone.

Leroy started laughing, he started rolling on the floor. What was so funny about that? Calum used to do that to me whenever we walked home and I start getting tired.

"You are such a funny person, Char! And what makes it more funny is that you said it in a really serious tone," Leroy told me, who was still laughing on the floor, holding his stomach. "Plus, where did you get that idea?" He asked.

"My friend that was a guy used to always do that to me when we didn't have a car to use and we had to walk home." I explained, looking down on the floor.

"Oh hell no! What's his name?"

"Calum Hood." I replied.

"That name sounds so familiar." He chuckled.

"Yeah. He's in a band called 5 Seconds of Fall."

"Honey, I may not know Calum Hood, but it's called 5 Seconds of Summer," Leroy acknowledged. "My 14 year old cousin is so crazy about them, they literally took over her life. All she seems to talk about is 5SOS and One Direction. It's crazy!" He explained, rolling his eyes.

"Let's start with the wall squats, crunches and lunges. After we do all that, we then do a full body work out. Got it?" He chattered.

"Got it."

A/N: So basically its been a week and a half since Charlotte started working out and everything's going good because she lost 9 pounds already.
