Paper thin [Zayn Malik Anorexia FF]

Chapter 2: ...may break your bones...

“Yeah, I know that. It's a lot of running around and a lot of stress...”, Perrie said.

Anyway the boys were working way to much, It was a wonder that they got a week off now, because normally they had to work for almost half a year straight, or even longer. Therefore she was happy to have Zayn here and spend some time with him, because visiting him in America wasn't that easy. During their tour in Europe she could see him more often, but the flight to America was too long for a visit at a weekend.

“We'll go out or I'll cook you something nice, okay?”, she asked and smiled at him as he stubbed his cigarette out.

“Sounds good”, he replied, kissing her on her lips before laying his arms around her and resting his head on her shoulder.

Actually Zayn didn't want to eat. He hadn't eaten the whole day and he wasn't in the mood to begin now, but he knew he couldn't get around it completely, because he was with the others 24/7 and they would notice if he didn't eat and worry without a reason, which he really didn't want. That's why he kept it as a secret, something only he knew about. Because the others would worry if they found out that he was dieting and Zayn really didn't want that. They all already had enough stress and their own problems, they didn't need his on top of that. Suddenly Zayn felt cold water on his face and opened his eyes just to see the boys walking towards him and Perrie, wet and probably cold from the water and with opened arms to hug Perrie and him.

“Don't you dare do that!” she screamed and got up quickly to run away from Harry who started chasing her.

Liam looked at Zayn and started grinning while he walked up to him. “No Liam”, Zayn said while getting up. “You're wet, I don't want you to hug-”, before he could end the sentence Liam started running towards him and Zayn got up to run away from Liam.

But as usual, when he sat down for a long time and then stood up so quick, everything around him went black for a second and he struggled staying on his feet which gave Liam the chance to catch Zayn. And he took it, hugging Zayn from behind and then throwing him over his shoulder to carry him around. He noticed that it was easier than usual to lift Zayn up, but didn't really think that thought to the end.

“Let me go Liam!”, Zayn struggled to get on his own feet again, but he had no chance against Liam who walked towards the pool with him.

“I think you need a bath Zayn”

“And I think you need to let me go”

“No, I really think a bath in the pool will do you some good”, Liam stated laughing.

“No Liam, really, let me go!”

But Liam jumped into the water, not listening to Zayn, but making sure that the older one didn't drown in there, because he still couldn't swim.

“I'll kill you Liam, I promise”, Zayn said serious as he got up again, but soon started laughing at Liam, who looked a bit shocked for a second, because he actually thought Zayn was mad at him. As if Zayn could ever be mad at him for longer than two seconds.
