Secret Identity- One Direction Fanfic

Chapter 17

A/N

Sorry I didn't upload! I was on vacation for a week and then I got a concussion. I snuck onto my phone to update this week. Hope you guys love it! :)

Lexi's POV

Looking up from the table I see the entire Beckham family. My jaw dropped slightly and I looked at the boys confused as to how Victoria Beckham even knew my name. All of them are smiling mischievously making me unable to determine who actually called them.

"Let's let the boys talk about football and stuff. I need to talk to you, Lexi." Victoria says while grabbing my wrist to drag me to another table.

"So, what do you need to talk about?" I ask her confused as ever.

"The One Direction boys have become like sons to me considering they love football and spend a lot of time with my husband. Which means that I care about the people they love also. Louis told me that he was like your brother, am I correct?" She asks leaving me still confused as ever. I nod anyway because these boys are my family. "That means you love those boys with all your heart?" I nod again, still unable to determine the meaning of this conversation. "You wouldn't want to ever hurt those boys?"

"Never! They are brothers to me and Harry is my. Well he is my Harry." Defending myself while trying to explain what Harry is to me proves to be a difficult task.

"Then you should know that your eating disorder hurts those boys. It hurts them as much as it would your sister or best friend. I am not here to ridicule you, I have suffered from an eating disorder too. I know as a model it seems that you have to be skinnier each time you go in, but that doesn't mean you can't be healthy also. I just wanted you to know that those voices in your head telling you not to eat are wrong. Those voices don't consider your feelings or the feelings of your loved ones. Those people over there are constantly worried because..."

"They don't know if I will wake up in the morning or even make it home from work." I finish for her. I feel a solitary tear slowly roll down my cheek as Lily's words replay in my head. These people actually care.

"I understand how hard it is when you see the first recovery pound come up on the scale. Recovery is a difficult process, but it is worth it in the end. Start by just eating fruits and vegetables, then slowly add more. You have an amazing support system with those boys and that girl. I want you to know that I will also be here for you."

"Thank you, but recovery is an idea that is too far fetched for me..." I start only to be cut off my her.

"You can't make excuses, that's what prohibits you from recovering. You are famous enough that companies will photoshop you just so they can put you in the picture. I know that isn't what you want to hear, but that is how the industry works. It isn't going to change from simple boycotts and conferences. It will only change when something drastic happens. Sadly I think more people are going to die from EDs before any changes are made."

"I know that I can't change this industry. I am just trying to be the best that I can be. I know that I shouldn't be doing this and that it hurts them. I just tried to block out the fact that it hurt them. I was too hurt by my past to even really consider their feelings. They are a huge part of my life and I can't do this to them anymore." I say confidently while smiling. Victoria grins back and grabs my hand. She leads me back to the table as we converse like we have been a part of it from the beginning.

Harry shyly looks at me as if asking if I will listen to her. I look him straight in the eyes smiling and nodding my head. A huge smile comes over his face and a couple tears of happiness roll down his face.

------------------------------At Home----------------------------

I set my purse in the table as all the guys go raid the refrigerator. As I clear my throat all heads snap towards me.

"Guys and Lily, I have an announcement to make. I am going to wage a war against my inner demons. They aren't going to rule my life anymore. Slowly I am going to try to defeat my eating disorder. I am doing this because recently it all came into focus that I am slowly killing myself to achieve perfection. The problem with that is that perfection is impossible because it is in the eye of the beholder. I also realized that I am hurting my family too. You all mean everything to me and I scare you every single day.I can't go crazy with the eating though because I do like my job, but I will eventually eat a healthy 1,200 calories a day." I say looking each if them in the eyes.

All of a sudden I am ambushed by a group hug. I feel tears if happiness along with congratulations. I smile to my self thinking that I have almost everything I could ever want. I didn't do this because Victoria Beckham talked to me. I did this because it is time for me to start being happy.

"Lexi, can I talk to you?" Harry asks when I am released from the tight group hug. I nod as he leads me out to the backyard.

"I wanted to talk to you because so much has happened over the last two months. The most important thing that I figured out is that I am still madly in love with you. I promise that things will be 100x better this time around. Last time I was forced to break up with you. I know what I said will stick in your heart, but those were managements reasons why we couldn't be together. We weren't that famous yet, so they said that they would replace me if I didn't break up with you. I got scared and thought that I could mend the relationship later. I didn't think it would take me 4 years to do so, but I have been deeply in love with you the whole time. I will not leave this time and I promise to stay with you through this tough journey in beating your eating disorder. Alexia Isabella Wayne would you do me the honor of being your boyfriend?" Harry really caught me off guard and his eyes never left mine during his entire speech. He just poured his entire heart out to me.

I cannot believe that management would have him say such a thing. Those people just focus on how to make the guys move farther in their career. They don't even consider the feelings of One Direction, their families, or even they girlfriends. They just care about earning 1D money.
