It's been about two weeks, I haven't eaten a full meal since. I only eat small portions when the guys seem suspicious or I cut my food in small bites so it seems like I'm eating more than I actually am. I'm not all that worried about it because they haven't seemed to notice. We are in Texas now and gosh is it hot here... I put on Jean shorts and a tank top then sliding my bracelets on as well. The scratches had faded but the nail marks had scarred over, yes she went that deep... So I only put them on my right arm covering the scars. Being that I had nothing better to do I spent 25 extra minutes curling my hair but into loose waves. I frown at myself and put on my makeup. The baggage of the hate gets to me appearance wise so I've been trying harder to impress the fans. Since I haven't really eaten I feel a little smaller than before so that's good. I open the bathroom door to hear shouting coming from the living room, I got nervous as I walking in the room.

"YOU CHEATED!" Calum shouts

"HOW CAN I CHEAT IN FOOTBALL?!" Michael shouts back, I guess they are playing FIFA.

"WELL YOU JUST DID!" Calum shoots back at him. I let out a giggle and their attention turns to me, they smile warmly at me.

"Oh lads, give me a shot, I'll win" I guarantee winking at Luke taking his controller starting the game with Michael.

After I won the game, obviously, I sat on the couch with the Luke closest to me and Michael past him, then Calum on the single chair. Where is Ashton? Wait, I don't need to care. I stretch my legs over Luke's lap and my feet land on Michael as I make myself comfortable, their loud laughter fills the room.

"Hey, it's around 1 so does anyone want to eat?" Luke suggests placing my legs on the floor. The three of them get up walking into the kitchen after calling Ashton. He trudges in the room sitting himself in a chair tiredly, Michael and Luke made sandwiches and I shared the seat with Michael. Luke sat on the other side of me and Calum sat at one end and Ashton in front of me and Michael. I didn't touch the sandwich, not at all. Then the feeling of someone watching me washes over me, it happens nearly every time we eat, it's always Ashton. I slowly look up and surely enough, it's him. I pick up the sandwich taking a bite annoyed with Ashton and placing it back on the plate. His gaze still fell on me as he ate, I'm getting tired of it.

"Ashton, please stop starring at me" I say quietly annoyed but not looking up at him. He doesn't stop, "Ashton... Stop." I speak a little louder letting him know my annoyance towards him. He mumbles something I didn't quite catch. "What?" I snap

"I wouldn't have to stare if you actually ate." He snapped back. My face fell, I knew I was busted and sure enough everyone's attention was on me, yet again.

"Im not." I try to say confidently.

"Don't lie." He retorts back. There was a long silence and Ashton looked guilty for saying what he did, but He can't take back what was already said. I swallowed the lump in my throat looking at the boys. They didn't seem to know what to do, I got up quickly before storming into the bedroom. I wish he didn't say that, they don't understand. I laid back on the bed sighing and then the familiar sound of footsteps, and knocking. And knocking. And guess what, MORE knocking!

"GO AWAY!" I yell towards the door hoping, just hoping, they got the massage I wanted to be alone. What a shocker! They didn't get it. I quietly got up after the rapid knocking stopped and put my ear on the door... Silence. Thank god, they left. I sat back on the bed taking out my phone putting in my earphones as I scrolled through social media. All on a sudden it is snatched out of my hands by... Luke? I stand up trying to grab it but he places it just out of my reach, I cross my arms over my chest pouting.

"Luke, give it back" I say rolling my eyes.

"Not right now." He says placing it in his back pocket. "But let's talk, do you want the other guys in here?" He asks. I think about it before shaking my head. He nods sitting down beside me.

"So, are you really starving yourself?" He asks, I cringe at his words.

"Yea." I reply quietly, "But Luke, i just wanted to be good enough for everyone" I say looking at him. All of a sudden I see shadows moving under the crack of the door. I narrowed my eyes, standing up walking over to the door. In this case it opens towards me, I opened it and in fell Ashton, Calum and Michael. Really?

"Ok, I don't want to talk to all of you at once, so please figure out who I'm gonna talk to." I say feeling anxious. They formed a circle and whispered to each other before three of them left.

"Ok, I'm ready to talk" he smiles
