Part Nineteen

Sophia’s POV

“Mel!” I shouted and sat up suddenly.

“What?” She shouted from where she was in the kitchen.

“It’s September 29th!” I screamed and jumped up and down.

“Oh my gosh yes!” She shouted and ran in to the lounge grinning, then her smile dropped and she gave me that sarcastic look, you know what I’m talking about, everyone’s either received or given it at one point in their life, “So?”

“Tomorrow is September 30th!” I said getting more excited.

“Well done, you know the dates in a year,” Lauren clapped sarcastically walking in the room.

“No, I mean it’s Feel Good Day!” I persisted, ignoring their sarcastic comments.

“Oh my gosh yes!” Mel shouted, but she was being serious this time, not sarcastic, whereas the other girls looked at us in confusion.

“What is Feel Good Day?” Molly asked.

“It’s a day where you wear a plain white shirt that in black has one thing you are insecure about; Mel and I have been doing it for years, since I was ten I think,” I said.

“Then you say why you are insecure about it and we tell you why you shouldn’t be insecure about it and then help you get over the insecurity,” Mel said.

“So, you three have to do it with us,” I instructed.

“Hell yeah, it sounds like fun,” Beth grinned.

“Right, let’s go organise the shirts,” Mel smiled.

“Oh and you’re not allowed to tell anyone your insecurity until tomorrow, when we see the shirts,” I said before we all split off in different directions.

Lauren’s POV

I can’t believe it, I’m so excited. I’ve been waiting a whole month for this day! Harry’s coming! He’s coming over for almost three days! It’s going to be so good!

I jumped out of bed and into my shower; I took a long shower and washed my hair. I had to be perfect for Harry. Perfect… What even is perfect?

I sighed and go out the shower, wrapping a towel around myself. I walked into my bedroom and over to my wardrobe deciding what to wear.

I pulled out some underwear, and black leggings and I was deciding my top when I remembered Sophia and Mel’s Feel Good Day thing. I had to wear the shirt with my insecurity written on it. I pulled on my clothes and then walked over to the shirt.

I stared at it for ages reading the one word over and over again. My insecurity… the one little word that controls my life… ‘fat’. I pulled the shirt on and stared at myself in the mirror. Time to face my insecurity.

I heard the doorbell go and all worried thoughts about today vanished and replaced with the excitement of seeing my amazing boyfriend again.

I ran across the room and was in such a hurry to get out the room I forgot to open the door and ran full sprint into my bedroom door. I smacked into the door and stumbled backwards for a second before falling on my arse.

“Oh sh*t!” I screamed holding my nose and lying back on the floor. That really hurt.

“Lauren!” I heard people shout then someone run up the stairs. I heard the door open but didn’t move, I was in too much pain to move.

“Lauren are you okay?” Harry came to my side.

“Mm,” I groaned.

“You want me to kiss it better?” He asked with a cheeky smile.

“Mm-hmm,” I nodded and Harry kissed my nose.

“What did you do?” He asked and helped me sit up.

“I was too excited about seeing you and I forgot to open my door… I sprinted straight into it,” I blushed and Harry chuckled, gosh he is so sexy.

“Aw babe, I was excited to see you too, but I remembered to open my door,” He chuckled and pulled me into a hug.

“Lauren! Harry! Remember to use protection!” Everyone shouted downstairs.

“I give them two minutes before someone comes in,” Harry said.

“Well that gives us two minutes alone,” I smirked and wrapped my arms around his neck kissing him. He shifted me on to his lap as we continued kissing my hands getting tangled in his soft curls.

“My eyes! My innocent eyes!” Louis and Sophia screamed as they burst in through the door.

“You could have knocked,” I said from where I was still sitting on Harry’s lap.

“I’m sorry, I really am. Louis next time don’t be so rude,” Sophia said and slapped Louis on the upside of the head.

“Hey!” Louis whined rubbing the back of his head.

“Grow up boy!” Sophia laughed.

“But it hurts,” He whined.

“Want me to kiss it better boo bear?” Harry said and shoved me off his lap. Real nice Harry.

“Yes!” Louis cheered. Harry got up and went over to Lou and kissed his head and then they started hugging and muttering stuff to each other.

“Nice, I’ve been ditched,” I muttered angrily and stormed out the room. I walked downstairs to see the others sat on the sofas.

“Where’s Harry?” Beth asked.

“With lover boy,” I muttered and sat next to Beth.

“Aw you got ditched for boo bear?” She smiled sympathetically.

“Yes,” I sighed.

“Will someone tell us why you have those shirts on?” Liam asked.

“When Soph gets down,” Molly laughed.

“Sophia!” Zayn shouted, wow these boys are impatient.

“Coming! Lou, Harry stop! That’s so weird! No! Get off! Louis Tomlinson put me down right now!” We heard Sophia yell. We all looked at each other and I could see the pain in Niall’s eyes.

“Louis stop!” Sophia continued to shout, “Louis put me down!”

“Superman to the rescue!” Louis shouted and ran down the stairs with Sophia over his shoulder and Harry filming on his iPhone.

“Lou! Lou not the stairs what if you fall! I’m too young to die!” Soph screamed.

“Superman will not let you die!” Louis shouted causing us all to almost cry of laughter. He ran over to us and threw Sophia on to the sofa and then made a superman pose before picking Beth up, taking her seat next to me and putting her back on his lap.

“Now will you please tell us why you have shirts like that?” Liam practically begged.

“It’s Feel Good Day, so we are wearing shirts with one of our insecurities on, then we talk about it and hopefully get over the insecurity,” Sophia said.

“So your insecurity is… ‘Anorexic’?” Harry frowned.

“Yes…” Sophia looked down. Anorexic? I know Sophia wasn’t the biggest eater but since when was she anorexic.

“Okay, so shall we go round, starting at Lauren?” Mel asked.

“What do we have to do exactly?” Zayn asked.

“Listen to Lauren as she talks about why she’s insecure, then we make her feel better about herself,” Sophia explained to the boys and they nodded.

“Well, erm… my insecurity is that I’m fat… I just, I don’t know… I’m just fat and I find it hard to go shopping because I don’t want people to see me…” I said quietly and Harry pulled me onto his lap.

“You’re not fat babe,” Harry whispered in my ear.

“I am,” I shook my head, disagreeing with him.

“Lauren don’t be silly! You are definitely not fat! If anything your thin!” Molly argued.

“I’m not being silly Molly, I’m being truthful,” I argued back.

“Look Lauren, you are most definitely not fat!” Harry said, “You’re beautiful.”

“Thank you,” I whispered looking back at Harry with tears in my eyes.

“I love you, and I don’t want you to change… ever,” He smiled and kissed me.

“Right!” Sophia said breaking up Harry and my make-out session.

Louis’ POV

“Beth next,” Sophia said.

“Well I’m insecure about my thighs, because they are huge,” Beth said simply. What is she on about? She’s like a perfect angel… well to me anyway. She’s gorgeous and her thighs are not huge.

“You’ve got a cracking set of thighs,” I said resting my chin on Beth’s shoulder.

“Yes, the floor cracks when I step on it,” Beth muttered and all of us started laughing.

“Seriously Beth, you thighs are not huge!” I said.

“Thanks Lou, it means a lot,” She turned and flashed me one of her brilliant smiles and it literally took my breath away.

“Anytime,” I smirked and kissed her quickly on the lips.

“Who’s next?” Lauren said.

“Mel,” Molly said.

Niall’s POV

Listening to what the girls were each insecure about was actually rather interesting. I was very intrigued about Sophia’s, was she seriously anorexic?

Lauren was insecure about her being fat, which was totally silly if you ask me because she is so not fat. Beth was insecure about her thighs, she thought they were really big but they are not. Mel was insecure about her out-going personality, which made us all laugh because she said she sometimes found herself embarrassing and too loud but that’s why we love her. Molly was insecure about being judged by people, but Liam convinced her she was perfect just the way she was, and that she shouldn’t worry about being judged because it doesn’t matter what other people think; let the haters hate right?

Now it was Sophia’s turn…

“I’m insecure about being anorexic,” She started and I felt a lump form in my throat, “I’m not anorexic now, but when I was fifteen I was, for four months. Courtney had convinced me I was fat, and I wouldn’t get a boyfriend because I was so ugly, so I stopped eating and exercised more, but it made me ill and I was then admitted to hospital for two months whilst I got better. The reason I have it on my shirt today is because it still affects me now. Some days I don’t eat anything, some days not much, some days a lot, but it depends because sometimes I look in the mirror and I feel so bad about myself and I think I look ugly…”

She had to stop because she started crying and I felt so bad. I wanted to cry myself. The girls all rushed over to her and hugged her. I really want to just go over there and tell her how beautiful and perfect she was, but I couldn’t because at the moment she thinks I kissed her sister.

“You’re insecure,” Harry started singing and then we all joined in, “Don’t know what for, you’re turning heads when you walk through the door-or-or, don’t need make-up to cover up, being the way that you are is enough-ough-ough.”

Sophia’s POV

The boys started singing ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ their first single to us girls, and I thought it was so cheesy so I had a plan.

“Everyone else in the room can see it,” They sung and I got ready. I looked at the girls and they all had tears in their eyes, time to change this.

“Everyone else but you. Baby-“ They sung and I cut them off.

“Baby, baby, oh! Like baby, baby, baby, no! Like baby, baby, baby, oh! I thought you’d always be mine!” I sang loudly totally hijacking their song. Everyone looked at me, the girls glaring at me for ruining their moment and the boys in amusement.

“Didn’t know you were a JB fan,” Liam commented.

“There’s a lot you don’t know about me young grasshopper,” I smirked.

“So what are we doing now?” Zayn asked.

“Don’t mind,” I smiled.

“Oh oh oh!” Beth squealed.

“What?” We all looked at her.

“We could all do a twit cam!” She grinned.

“Yeah buddie!” Niall and I said at the same time. My chest tightened and I avoided his gaze, though I knew he was watching me.

“To the laptop!” Lauren shouted after a moment’s awkward silence.

We put the laptop on the coffee table by the TV, with Niall, Zayn, Mel, Harry and Lauren sat on the opposite sofa and Liam, Molly, Louis, Beth and I sat on the floor- Molly was sat between Liam’s legs and Beth was sat in between Louis’. Liam, being daddy direction logged in for the twit cam.

“Hello Directioner’s!” Liam said to the camera. “We are here; live from our girlfriend’s house!”

“You sound like you’re a news reporter,” I laughed.

“Shush up Dowell,” Liam playfully glared at me.

“Oh Liam getting defensive!” Niall laughed; gosh I missed that laugh…

“Anyway,” Liam said turning back to the camera, “Ask us any questions you want and we’ll try our best to answer them.”

“Whilst we wait for questions, we shall introduce our girlfriend’s,” Zayn said, “This is Mel, my lovely girlfriend.”

“Vas Happenin?” She waved at the camera, “I have really been spending too much time with you babe.”

“Aw, that’s impossible,” Zayn laughed and kissed her cheek.

“Here we have Lauren, my gorgeous girlfriend,” Harry grinned and kissed Lauren’s cheek making her blush.

“Hello,” Lauren waved at the camera.

“My beautiful girlfriend, Beth,” Louis hugged Beth from behind and kissed her neck.

“No, Jimmy protested!” Beth grinned and waved at the camera and everyone cracked up laughing.

“This gorgeous girl is my girlfriend, Molly,” Liam grinned and kissed Molly quickly.

“Howdy,” Molly smiled at the camera and leant back into Liam’s body.

“What up? I’m Sophia!” I waved at the camera, “Oh! Let me see the question!” I crawled forward to the camera, trying not to get my head in the way too much.

“’Sophia, are you Niall’s girlfriend?’” I read the question out, “Erm… no, I’m not.” I shook my head and then looked at the next question that popped up, “’Is it true you caught him kissing your sister?’ No, that’s a lie; we just weren’t meant to be I guess.” Yes, I know I lied but I don’t want people to hate Niall… Lying just seemed best at the time.

“Okay, any questions other than about mine and Niall’s personal life?” I asked the camera and crawled back to the sofa.

“’Why was Mel a chicken in the picture on twitter?’” Liam read the question out and we laughed.

“Team Sexy!” I shouted and Louis, Beth and I all high-fived.

“Beth, Louis and Sophia decided to make a team called Team Sexy, and Beth and Sophia pulled a prank on me…” Mel threw a glare in our direction and we just smiled back innocently.

“Oh Sophia I never asked did you call Brad?” Louis smirked and winked at me.

“Louis!” I hissed.

“What? I was just wondering!” He raised his hands defensively.

“No I did not call him,” I shook my head.

“Wait someone tell me, who is Brad?” Beth asked.

“Some guy that worked at the printing shop, he gave me his number when we went to do the invites. I threw the number in the bin when I got back,” I shrugged.

“Anyway,” Liam said regaining order.

“I’ll be back, I’m going to cook some grapes, anyone want some?” I asked standing up.

“Yes!” Beth shouted and jumped up following me out.

“Might as well,” The other girls muttered and followed us out.

“But we’re in the middle of a twit cam!” Harry shouted.

“Well entertain your fans; I’m sure they want to see you more than us!” Lauren shouted back.

“So, how are you coping Soph, with Niall here?” Molly asked as I got the grapes out the fridge and put them in a pan.

“Okay, well as okay as I can be,” I sighed, “I just wish we could go back to the way we were… we were so happy…”

“I’m sure you’ll be happy again” Lauren smiled at me.

“Let’s cook some grapes!” I shouted and started cooking the grapes, changing the subject successfully.

Liam’s POV

“Right, now the girls are gone, let’s go snoop around the house and see what we can find,” I said and picked up the camera. The boys and I quietly crept up the stairs and into the first bedroom which was Lauren’s.

“Right this is Lauren’s room,” I whispered into the camera and showed the room before we began snooping. I walked over to the night stand where something had caught my eye.

“Harry aren’t these yours,” I said holding up a gold thong.

“Yeah, I wondered where those had got to!” Harry skipped over and took them out my hand.

“You’re cheating on me! How could you?” Lou fake cried.

“Hey, boo bear I still love you, but Lauren’s the only one that gets to see me in my gold thong now,” Harry laughed.

“Fine! Then Beth’s the only one I’ll share my carrot with!” Louis said.

“Kinky,” Niall commented.

“Not that sort of carrot… well…” Louis said and we all cringed, “She’s already had that carrot too…”

“Louis I’m sure our fans do not want to hear that… I’m sure I don’t want  to hear that…” I cringed.

“Sorry, I was just saying!” Lou held his hands up defensively, “Anyway Molly’s already seen you carrot too! And Lauren’s seen Hazza’s!”

“Lou! You don’t need to tell the world our private lives!” Harry shouted.

“Haz!” We all hissed.

“Next room I think,” Zayn laughed.

“Hazza put Lauren’s underwear down!” Niall laughed and pulled Harry out of the room after us.

“It’s not like he hasn’t seen them before,” Lou commented.

“Louis, just be quiet!” Zayn laughed and we walked into Mel’s room.

“This is Mel’s room,” I said and we began to snoop.

“Aw, Zayn she sleeps next to a picture of you!” I zoomed in on a picture of Zayn and Mel together that was by Mel’s bed.

“Don’t you have that picture by you bed too?” Niall asked.

“Yes, I do,” He blushed.

“Aw Zayn’s blushing!” I zoomed the camera in on his cheek.

“Whatever,” He turned away from the camera.

“Next room,” Lou said and we walked into Beth’s room.

“This is Beth’s room,” I said and showed the room.

“Lou she has a stash of carrots in her room!” Harry laughed and I turned the camera to show a massive pile of carrots in the corner of the room.

“Yeah and she has your boxers on her bed, did you use protection?” I asked.

“Yes daddy,” He nodded.

“Good boy,” I patted his head.

“Hey look she has a poster of us on her wall!” Niall pointed to her wardrobe.

“Come on,” I laughed and we walked into Molly’s room where she had lots of posters of us on her wall.

“It’s like a shrine!” Lou stated.

“She’s a fan if you didn’t guess,” I said to the camera.

“Sophia’s room,” I said as we walked in.

“No posters of us…” Zayn commented.

“Nope, she wasn’t a fan, remember when we met her and she didn’t really like us!” Harry laughed and we all joined in at the thought of the memory.

“Hey look she has a picture of Niall by her bed!” Lou said and we all looked at the picture of Niall and Sophia together, they looked so happy.

“Let’s hack her facebook!” Zayn said grabbing her phone off the side.

“Don’t you dare hack my facebook!” We heard Sophia shout from the bottom of the stairs.

“Run!” I shouted and we all ran out the room.
