Paper thin [Zayn Malik Anorexia FF]

Chapter 1: sticks and stones...

His 'diet', as he called it, had begun a few weeks ago. They had just come to their bus after giving a concerts and all of them were extremely exhausted, almost falling asleep as they walked into the bus. Niall was the quickest and ran into the bathroom first so that Louis, Harry and Zayn were left waiting while Liam talked on the phone outside, before they could get ready to go sleep. Zayn just fell on the couch next to Louis and Harry, waiting for Niall to return from the bathroom. But Niall just wouldn't return and when he finally opened the door, after what felt like hours, Harry quickly got up and locked himself on the bathroom. “Okay enough”, Louis said and stood up, pulling up his shirt. “I'm tired so Zayn, you now have to face me getting undressed here”, he laughed a little bit and then threw his shirt all across the bus into a corner. Zayn just nodded tired and got up himself, pulling up his shirt too. “Have you gained weight?”, he heard Louis ask just as he was about to put on his sleep - T- Shirt. Zayn turned around and looked at Louis, trying to hide his shock. He hadn't been working out that much lately because he had sprained his ankle on stage and the doctor told him to not work out to get better faster, but had he gained so much weight that it was already visible to others? “Maybe..-”, he began - “Sure you've gotten a little chubbier”, Louis interrupted him just as Liam walked into the bus. “Who has gotten chubby?”, he asked. “Zayn”, Louis replied immediately, not really thinking about his words. Liam looked at Zayn before pushing Lou towards his bed. “Go sleep Lou, you are tired.” Lou just mumbled something as a response before saying good night and falling into his bed tired. Liam looked at Zayn who looked a bit hurt after what Louis just said. He knew that Zayn was in no way vain, rather really self conscious and that he thought about dumb comments like that over and over again and took them really serious. Especially when they came from one of the others. “You okay?”, Liam asked pulling Zayn out of his thoughts. “Yeah fine, just tired”, Zayn answered, entering the bathroom as Harry came out of it and leaving a worried Liam behind. Zayn got ready in the bathroom and looked at himself on the mirror suspicious. Lou was right, he had gained a bit weight over the last few weeks. No. He was big, fat, or at least too fat for One Direction. Not good enough for the spotlight. He had to loose weight, he had to diet. Zayn got out of the bathroom, quickly laying down in his bed, but the thoughts just wouldn't let him go. Over and over again the voice in his head told him that he was fat, that he had to lose weight. And he was determined to do so. 

A/N: I don't have anything against Louis so please don't be mad at me, okay?
