Just By Putting On a Smile

Chapter 7- Too Much Thigh

**Simon's POV**
Through the whole movie we heard Niall and Demi chatting, then all of a sudden they shut up. We carry on with the movie until we hear Louis whisper at us.

"Holy shit guys, this is too cute." He takes a picture with his phone and comes over to us and shows us the photo.

Niall's got his legs straight out, and Demi is in the same position as Niall on his lap asleep with her head snuggled into his chest, Niall has his arms around her waist pulling her close and has his head slightly off to the side because he's asleep. I hear Kelly let out a little squeal, Paulina and Kelly gush over the two of them.
"Hey they're young, they aren't gonna date." I say.
"Simon they're in their late teens, they're not innocent." Kelly laughs
"Hey can you send us this?" Paulina asks.

He sends it to all of us and some of us put it on our Instagrams. We all end up dosing of during the movie.

**Kelly's POV**
I wake up on the bed next to Paulina and Simon is further down lying horizontally close the bottom of the bed. Louis and Harry are asleep on the couch and Liams asleep in the armchair.

I get up and out of bed and look at the end of the bed and see Demi and Niall lying on the floor, basically spooning. Niall's hands are around Demi's waist tight, it's so cute. I get out my phone and take a picture to tease Demi later.

I see Paulina waking up and I quickly make my way over to her.
"Pau look at this!" I take her hand and show her Demi and Niall.
"Demasiado linda," she says in awe.

Everyone else wakes up and the boys and Simon make their way back to their hotel rooms.

**Demi's POV**
I wake up in Niall's arms, I felt safe and secure.

Was I squishing him?
You're to fat for that.
His arms probably couldn't reach all the way round you fat waist Demetria.
He thinks you're fat.

"Dem what's on that pretty little mind of yours?" Kelly says sitting down with me on the bed.
"Nothing,"
"Dem don't lie, we're closer than that. I know when you're lying." She says.
"Kelly I said nothing!"
"Dem, calm. You're just zoning out a lot. Andd, you just fell asleep spooning your crush." She winks.
"I don't like him!"
"Yeah sure you don't D, keep believing that," she says sarcastically and giggles. I hear the bathroom door open revealing Paulina.
"PauPau, can you tell Kel to stop bullying mee?" I whine at Paulina.
"Kelly stop don't do this to my little Dem." She puts her arms protectively around my neck in a joking way.
"Oh really D? Then look at this." Kelly says showing me the photos of me and Niall on her phone.

"Dem, are you uncomfortable? You're still wearing your dress from yesterday and your makeup, come here." Kelly says walking up to me with a makeup wipe.

You're so ugly without makeup.

"Dem, do you want to tell me what's on your mind?" Kelly said.
"Nothing Kel." I say getting a little annoyed.
"Little sister, why you getting annoyed?" Paulina asks.
"I'm not."
"Ok, well we have to go in like 5 minutes, we're getting hair, makeup and wardrobe done there so just sweats. I don't think you have time to go to your room and back, you can use my stuff, we need to be quick." Kelly says.

She passes me a pair of grey sweatpants, a white cami and a black cropped zip hoodie. And I head to the bathroom to change. I look at myself in the mirror, the sweatpants are to big, but if I tie them tight enough they fit.

They shouldn't fit.
Make sure next time they don't fit.
Your so fat.

I screw my face up and walk out the bathroom.
"Dem you don't need to go to the bathroom to change," she chuckles, "Do the sweatpants fit?" She asks
"Yeah." I say hiding the fact I'm slightly ashamed.

She walks over to me and checks the waist.
"They're a little loose, but they'll do to just go to the stadium." I smirk as she says they're a little loose.

We meet Simon and make our way to the stadium. We get our makeup and hair done, then I go and meet with my stylist.

"Hey, how are you?" She asks.
"I'm good and you?" I say politely.
"Good, so I thought we could try this today?" She holds up a dress.
I agree to it and go and change into the dress. I come back to see what she thinks.
"This is way too loose, I think you've dropped a size or two Demi. We might have to try something with a tighter material." I feel a sense or joy and pride, I love this feeling, if I keep loosing weight I'll feel this way more often.

I try on a dress that's skin tight, and quite short, showing way more of my thighs than I want on display. I make my way back to my stylist.
"Are too much of my thighs on display?" I ask her.
"No, you look great!"

We agree on the dress and I make my way over to Kelly and Paulina. Kelly looks me up and down.
"Does it really look that bad?" I say with my insecurities kicking in.
"Not at all, it's just more.. frisky? than the other stuff you've worn." She says.
"There's too much thigh on show.." I say being honest.
"You look great Dem. If you're not comfortable then why did you pick it?" Kelly questions me.
"Uh, they just, ordered the wrong size in some stuff."
"They've never done that before Demi," Kelly states, "you know you don't need to loose weight right? I know that's why Dem, before you try and lie." She says.
"Yeah I know, I've just been.. eating healthier recently." I lie.
"Dem, do you want me to help you get something that makes you more comfortable? We can get you a dress and belt?" She says.
"So my thighs are too big for this dress." I say looking down.
"No, that's not what I'm saying Dem. I think you should wear this, but I know you're not comfortable. You know what, if you wear this it is a bit of a 'fuck you' to your publicist." She giggles. "And it will give you a little more self confidence girl," she nudges me.
