Becoming Fatties - 5SOS

Chapter 7

"Louis?" Ashton asked nervously. "What are you doing here?"

"Harry wanted me to, uh..." He thought for a moment. "Hang out with you guys. He should be here soon." Louis grinned.

Ashton nodded, still nervous.

"How much do you weigh now?" Louis asked.

"Huh?" Ashton's head snapped up.

"Well, it's obvious you and your friend are gaining weight, Irwin. How much have you put on?"

Ashton bit his lip. "I think around 30 pounds."

Louis burst out laughing. "You're such a pig! You're practically bursting out of your clothes." He reached over and grabbed Ashton's belly harshly and shook it up and down. "You need to stay away from Harry." Louis said, suddenly getting serious.

Ashton furrowed his eyebrows together. "Why?"

Just then, Niall and Liam came up from behind Louis. Niall had his phone held up.

"Aw, Lou, I didn't catch you grabbing his flab." Niall said disappointed.

"You're recording this?" Ashton whispered.

The three boys nodded. Louis opened his mouth to speak again. "Why do you think Harry would want you, Ashton? He's not into obese people."

Ashton looked down. "I'm not obese." He mumbled.

Louis shrugged. "If you keep up the way you're eating, you will be."

"And it's not even your repulsing body," Liam chimed in. "You're just an unappealing person overall. You're not fun, you're an absolute idiot, you're fucking ugly... shall I go on?"

Louis smirked. "Harry's co-captain of the football team. What makes you think he'd want to date a butterball like you?"

Ashton sniffled, trying to hold back tears.

"Hey!" They heard two people yell from behind them. They looked to see Calum and Harry.

Ashton's eyes lit up at the sight of Harry.

"Harry! Hey, I-"

"Shut up, fatass." Harry interrupted with his face twisted with disgust.

Ashton froze. "What? But... I thought-"

"You thought what?" Harry interrupted again. "You thought I actually wanted to go out with you? You thought I finally noticed you? Well, I did notice you. How could I not? How could anybody not? You're bursting out of your clothes." He laughed.

Calum hands hung in tight fists by his sides. "Leave him alone!" He yelled.

"Oh look, the other pig talks too!" Louis laughed, looking back to make sure Niall was still taping the whole thing.

"He has never done anything to you! He came here just like you said. Was this your plan?!" Calum yelled, his face getting red.

Harry snickered. "Did you honestly think I'd date a cow like him? He's such a freak, he wears makeup and panties and all that shit. That's fucked up."

Ashton couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

"You guys are such heartless assholes." Calum gritted his teeth. "You guys are the dumbasses here. At least Ashton hasn't ever failed any of his classes."

Harry and Louis narrowed their eyes.

"I can't believe we're wasting our time with these slobs." Liam said in disbelief.

Louis smirked. "You know, it actually is kind of a good thing to have these chubby bellies, right?" He patted Calum's stomach before Calum swatted his hand away. "Probably gives you a lot of extra padding, hmm?" He continued before suddenly bringing his knee up and into Calum's belly. Calum stumbled backwards and groaned from his aching tummy. "Didn't hurt, did it?" Louis smiled.

The four jocks laughed. Calum looked at them with pain in his eyes.

"Let's get out of here." Liam said.

"But before we go," Harry said before grabbing Calum and punching his jaw.

"Cal!" Ashton cried and hugged his best friend.

"Can we go home?" Calum groaned. 

Ashton nodded and brought him to the car.

•••••••••

At Ashton's house, Ashton took care of Calum by icing his hurt belly and jaw. They were in the living room with Calum lying on the couch.

"Thank you again, Calum." Ashton said.

Calum groaned. "You thanked me enough, Ash. You didn't deserve it. Everything they said was a lie."

Ashton frowned. "No, they're right." He sniffled and looked down at his lap. His belly stuck out a few inches.

Calum sighed. "Babe, you can't let this get to you."

"I don't want to gain weight anymore." Ashton muttered, finally letting his tears fall.

Calum gasped. "What?"

"I'm gonna go look up some diet plans." Ashton said and left the room. He left his phone on the couch, so Calum quickly grabbed it.
