Diana: 4 months in the UK

(16)

Song of the chapter: Drops of Jupiter by Train

I open the door and I am attacked by Danny and Josh. Their bulky arms trap me in their embrace. They both smell of faded cigarettes and a strong scent of Lynx which I am guessing was to mask the smell of tobacco. 

"Dee, we missed you." I can't reply because their deltoids cover my mouth. I can only attempt to nod and laugh uncontrollably. I see out of the corner of my eye Sandy walking past with shopping bags full of food. With no room to join he leans his head into our enclosed circle. 

"Hey, would hug you but I'm a bit preoccupied." I nod and he goes into the kitchen to join Calum and Luke. 

"So are you guys going to release me?" 

"Nope." They squeeze me even tighter and decide to carry me around the house. Danny has my upper half while Josh holds my legs. Sounds pretty awkward and sexual but I can tell you now, it is the fartherest thing from something sexual. The complete opposite actually. 

I pass Calum and Luke in the kitchen, gazing at all the food Sandy and the rest of the boys have brought for us. We move on into the lounge where Ashton is sprawled on the couch with his legs in separate directions. He notices our humble arrival and cracks up with laughter. 

"Can I join on this fun?" He moves from the couch and to us in a matter of seconds. He holds my mid section and continues through the house. I can't help but laugh continuously throughout our journey. The boys all sing the pirate limewire song in hilarious accents. Josh in an irish, Danny in a scotish and Ashton in Gandalf's. 

We turn around and head back to kitchen area where the others meet. I can't help but feel a bit sorry for these poor boys who carry me. They sing happily and bob up and down cheerfully but I can't help but wonder if they really are enjoying lifting 176 pounds of fat into the air. My insecurities really get the best of me sometimes. 

"Okay, okay. Can you let me down now?" They obey and I am thankful. I don't know if I'd be able to go on any longer if they had refused. Shaye, Jak and Bryar have arrived so it's crunch time with the movie marathons. 

"What movie should we watch first?" Niall asks, with a bunch of DVD's in both hands. Multiple answers fly through the air making it impossible to even consider what is being said. 

"Wait. Before we watch anything, don't you think we should eat?" Calum interrupts the chatter and makes everyone turn their attention to him and Luke. They have made at least 3 pots full of pasta which was last the whole night. Everyone cheers for them and dishes up their plate. 

1 hour or so later... 

My stomach has been replaced by something else. There is no way I would be able to fit that much pasta into my normal sized stomach. It's like I'm feeding something inside of myself. I shall call it my food baby. Nearly all the boys, excluding Jak, ate at least 3 plates and licked them clean. Now they sit in their chairs, groaning and complaining. 

"I'm so full." 

"I can't move." 

"I feel like I'm going to burst into a thousand pieces." 

"Is this what it feels like to have a baby because I'm so glad I was born with the xy chromosome." 

"Do girls feel like this when they have their period?" 

They all sound like a bunch of pathetic 5 year olds. I'm sure that even girls don't complain like this when we are on our periods. Sure we are in constant pain for a week every month of the year but you don't see us calling to the gods and asking for some help.
