Liam's pov

We have just finished our take me home tour about a week ago. I haven't been on Twitter since about a week before the end of the tour. I grab my phone and I go on Twitter. I see that I have got loads of mentions. I have a look at them most of them say a similar thing '@real_liam_payne you are so fat compared to the other boys. You should go on a diet or starve yourself' after I read a few more comments tears start to stream down my face I have always been self conscious about my weight.

I get up and go to the full length mirror. I lift up my top and all I see is fat. More tears fall down my face as I continue to look at my reflection. I put my top down and go over to my bed and lay down facing the wall crying silently. I pull the covers over me wanting to sweat off some calories.

After a few minutes my tears have stopped. I hear someone knock on my door but I stay silent hoping they will go away. I hear my door open and I close my eyes pretending to be asleep "Liam" I feel someone shake me "Li I'm sorry bud. You need to wake up for food" I continue to pretend to be asleep not wanting to eat anything. "Liam I know you are tired but you need to eat" I open my eyes slowly so it looks like I have just woken up up. I see Niall "Come on Li. Let's go and get some food." I nod reluctantly and follow him downstairs.

I sit at the table looking down at the food I really don't want to eat or that I need. I eat about half of it before I start to play with it "Li are you going to eat more" I shake my head and say "I'm tired. Can I go back upstairs and go back to bed?" Harry responds slowly "Are you ok Liam?" I nod "Can I go back to bed now?" The others look at me worriedly but nods

I go upstairs and I go into the bathroom locking the door behind me. I kneel down by the toilet and I stick my fingers down my throat making myself throw up in the toilet a few times. Tears involuntary fall down my face. I've always hated being sick alone but I know I need to now. I stick my fingers down my throat again and I throw up twice more before I feel empty. I stand up and flush the toilet. I quickly wash my hands and brush my teeth. Then I spray the bathroom with air freshener to make it not smell like vomit. I unlock the door and look around before going to my room and closing the door.

I get into bed covering myself fully before crying myself to sleep hoping that I will burn off some calories like that. The next morning I wake up before anyone in the house. I get changed into my running kit and I write a note saying that I am going for a run

I get outside and I start to head for the park. I hope I don't see any fans when I am on my run today. I get to the park and I do a few laps before I sit down with my head in my hands trying not to cry. I hear someone call my name but I don't look up until they sit next to me. I look up and see a girl who I don't recognise she must be a fan "Hi Liam. I'm your biggest fan" I give her a fake smile and say "Hi what's your name?" The fan smile at me and says excitedly "My name is Ava" I give her a fake smile again and I say "Hi Ava." She then asks me "Can you sign this for me please and can I have a photo" I nod and she gives me a book and I sign it quickly and she takes a picture with me "Sorry love but I have to go now the boys will be worried because I'm gone for so long" Ava nods and says "Thank you Liam" I give her a fake smile and say "Your welcome"

I start to run home but I decide last minute to go to a place that only Louis and I know about or go there. I sit on the abandoned swing and I place my head in my hands and I start sobbing. After a few minutes I feel someone rub my back. I jump before I hear Louis say "Li it's only me Louis. Why are you crying for?" I instantly say "No reason" and I wipe my eyes but tears keep on coming. Louis pulls me into a hug and I try to escape because I don't want him to feel how fat I am but Louis has me in a tight grip and he says "I'm not letting you out of my hug until you tell me why you are crying" I am suddenly really angry and I manage to break free from Louis grip "I SAID IT WAS NOTHING" then I run home as fast as I can and I get home and slam my bedroom door and blocking it with my chair under the door handle so it won't be able to open and I fall to my bed sobbing silently into my pillow.

After a few minutes I hear a knock at my door but I say "LEAVE ME ALONE" I hear Harry's voice "No Liam you made Louis cry" I respond "I'm sorry." I hear the door trying to be opened and Harry's voice saying urgently "Liam let me in" I say "No." Harry responds warningly "Liam let me in now" I get really angry "NO GO AWAY IM FINE" I hear Harry sigh and try to open my door again but then sighs and walks walks off. I must have fallen asleep at some point whilst crying

After a few hours I wake up and I leave my room and go downstairs "I'm sorry Lou. I didn't mean to make you cry" I give him a fake smile. Louis smiles back at me and says "It's alright Liam. Everyone has bad days" I nod and Zayn comes in "Harry says dinner is ready" We all nod and follow Zayn to the kitchen we sit down and Harry hands us all a plate of food. I start to eat and Harry says "Li slow down you are going to choke. No one is going to take it away from you" I look at the table and stop eating realising what I have done "You can continue to eat Liam" I nod my head not wanting to concern them and I start to eat the rest of my dinner slowly.

After dinner I go upstairs and go into the bathroom and shut and lock the door. I kneel down by the toilet and I stick my fingers down my throat and I throw up the entire meal I have just ate. Once I felt empty I flush the toilet and I brush my teeth and spray the room with air freshener. I leave the bathroom and go back to my own room.

The next day still Liam's pov

I have been at the gym all day working out trying to loose as much weight as possible. I go over to the weighing scales and step on them. I see that I am 142lbs tears run down my face and I continue to work out. By the time the gym closes I am 141lbs. I grab a bottle of water and I down half of it. I jog home. Once I am home I hear "Li it's dinner time" I respond "I got something after I went to the gym I'm fine" Harry responds "What did you have to eat for dinner?" I respond "I had McDonalds" I go upstairs. I go into the bathroom and get in the shower. After go into my room. I hide under my duvet and I keep on thinking to myself. I've got to lose weight then the fans might accept me. I grab my phone and look on Twitter. I see that I have still got loads of people saying that I am fat.

A few weeks later still Liam's pov

I haven't eaten in a few weeks. I am at the gym again trying to loose more weight. Tears slip down my face as I step on the scales. I see that I am now 100lbs more tears slip down my face. I step off the scales and decide to run home. I hope that the others have gone out. I don't want to see anyone. I run home and I notice that the car is still in the driveway so they are home. I quietly enter the house but Zayn spots me "Hey Liam. Why are you crying?" I respond "It doesn't matter. I'm going upstairs" he responds "Li it's dinner time" I respond "I have already ate. I stopped off at Nando's." I go upstairs and I lay down in my bed with tears falling.

After a couple of minutes I hear my door open but I ignore it. I feel someone sit on my bed and I hear Niall say "Li. Are you awake?" I respond "No" I hear Niall laugh "Why did you respond then" I respond "I don't know. I guess I'm awake." I quickly wipe my eyes and sit up I try to smile at Niall but it disappears quickly "Are you ok Liam?" I nod try and stay as far away from Niall as possible so he has enough room because I am fat. Niall hugs me and I tense up not wanting Niall to feel the fat on my body. Niall says to me quietly "You know Li you can tell me anything right and I will be here for you and so will the other boys we are all worried about you" I nod and say "I know Ni I know. I promise I will tell if something is bothering me."

A month later still Liam's pov

I now weigh 90lbs and most of the time I feel quite faint most of the time. I have to wear a belt so my trousers don't fall down. All my clothes are really loose on me. I decide to go to the gym again. I start to walk downstairs but I start to get really light headed. I feel myself falling and I black out.

Niall pov just as Liam falls down the stairs

I hear something crash. I look at the others and run out to by the stairs and I see Liam unconscious I kneel down by his head and examine him. Harry comes out and sees us and he says "I'll call an ambulance." I nod and lift up his shirt and see that his ribs are showing. I gasp. "LOUIS, ZAYN, HARRY COME HERE NOW" They run in and I say "I think he has an eating disorder. Probably anorexia." Harry says "An ambulance is on the way" I nod and look down at Liam wanting to make sure that he is still breathing. I grab his hand

After five minutes we hear sirens in the background Zayn and Louis goes to the door and after about a minute the paramedics and Louis and Zayn rush in the paramedics place Liam on the stretcher and say one of them say "One person can come with him" We all look at each other before Louis says "You go Ni your the closest to him" I nod and follow the paramedics out to the ambulance.

Once they get to the hospital still Niall's pov

We got to the hospital about 5 minutes ago the doctor told me to wait out in the waiting room. I am so worried about him. I want him to be ok. I place my head in my hands. I'm a terrible friend. I didn't notice my best friend and brother suffering. I'm going to protect him from now on.

I feel a hand on my back and I hear Louis voice "Ni we need to go and talk to Liam's doctor and then we can go and see him" I'm instantly up and we all go over to the doctor and he takes us into a room and he starts talking "Liam is severely malnourished. Does he live alone?" We shake our heads and I say "No we all live together. I should of noticed. Every time he got back from ether a gym session or a jog he would always say he already ate. I should have questioned him more. I should have let him know more times that we would take care of him" Louis cuts me off by saying "Niall, stop. It's not your fault. I got Liam's phone just after you and him went to the hospital on the ambulance and I saw that he had loads of Twitter mentions all saying that he was fat." I am really angry and I say angrily "How dare they. He was not fat" Harry says "Niall we will sort this about Liam getting hate but for now Liam needs us. Go on doctor" the doctor nods "Liam needs to stay in hospital until his food consumption is up but he should be awake soon. We have put him on a drip that provides nutrients that his body desperately needed and he will need to be watched so one of you will have to stay with him then when he is released he will need to share a room with someone" We nod and I say "I'll stay with him" and then Zayn asks for us "Can we see him now?" The doctor nods and takes us to Liam's room.

I instantly sit down next to Liam and I hold his hand. I say "We need to put a stop to the hate Liam has been receiving recently." Louis nods and takes a picture on his phone and then he sends it to all of us and he says "If we all post this picture on social media once he is awake with a caption saying something along the lines of 'I know it is not all of you but to the ones that have been hating on Liam. He is in the hospital because he has staved himself because there was lots of messages saying he was fat. Because of this Liam is really malnourished and needs to stay in hospital.' Or something" We all nod in agreement.

About 30 minutes later Liam begins to wake up. I grab his had again and say "Come on bud open your eyes" Liam manages to open his eyes and he says slowly "Where am I?" I respond "Your at the hospital buddy. You passed out because your body didn't have enough nutrients. Why did you starve yourself bud? Why didn't you tell anyone?" Liam looks down and starts crying. I get on the bed and hug him he says through his tears "Don't touch me I'm fat" I say to him "Li you're just skin and bones. You are really malnourished and you weren't fat before. You were healthy weight." Liam starts crying more and says still crying "No the fans said I was fat" I respond "We will sort that out. Can we post a picture of you" Liam nods against my neck and says "I just want the hate to go"

I continue to hold Liam and I open my Twitter app. I start a new tweet. I put the picture of Liam up. And start tweeting '@Nialloffical- Liam has been receiving lots of hate recently I know not all of you have been giving Liam hate but the ones that have Liam starved himself. Today he passed out coming downstairs and he is now in the hospital malnourished. Please stop sending hate to him send hate to me instead I don't care. I know Liam seems strong in the press and media but you don't know the real Liam. Liam is really sensitive and cares about what people think of him. We are all taking a break from all social media until Liam is back up to healthy weight.'

I see that Louis has tweeted '@Louis_Tomlinson- I know not all of you have sent hate to Liam but to the ones that have. You have landed Liam in hospital because he starved himself so much that he passed out this morning. This needs to stop I don't care if you send me hate but leave Liam out of this. We are all taking a break from social media until Liam is better' and I see that Zayn has tweeted '@Zaynmalik- Liam has been receiving lots of hate, I know not from all of you, but he is in hospital because he is malnourished. The hate needs to stop enough is enough. We are all taking a break from all social media platforms.' I also see that Harry has tweeted '@harrystyles- Liam has been receiving lots of hate recently, but I know that not all of you have been sending him hate, but it needs to stop as I think the other boys agree with me. Liam staved himself he is currently in hospital because he is malnourished. He shouldn't be at the hospital he should be at home and happy and healthy. The other boys might agree with me on this but we are all taking a break from social media until Liam is back home and is healthy weight.' I retweet all of the boys tweets and I see that they have retweeted all of each others tweets. We turn off our phones.

I look at Liam and say to him "We've sorted it. You are not looking at any social media until one of us say so." Liam nods and a doctor comes in and says to Liam "What would you like to eat?" Liam responds quietly "Something light. I haven't eaten in ages. I know that is bad but I'm fat" I hold him as he starts crying again and I whisper comforting words to him.

About half an hour later the doctor appears with some pasta. "You don't have to eat it all but you need to eat a good amount. I'll be back later to collect the bowl" I nod seeing Liam isn't listening. I say to him gently "Li, you need to eat something." I get some pasta on the fork and gently poke it at Liam's lips he slowly opens his mouth and slowly eats the pasta. I smile at him and say to him "Is it good?" Liam nods slightly and I hand Liam the fork. He eats about a quarter of the pasta and says "I don't want anymore I'm full" I respond to him "That's fine bud. You did good"

About a week later still Niall's pov

Liam has been released today. I have stayed with him the whole time. Harry, Louis and Zayn has moved most of Liam's stuff into my room so we can still keep a close eye on him. Liam has managed to eat a full small meal and he is now 100lbs "Louis should be here soon Liam" Liam nods and says quietly "Thank you. You know for making me eat. I am starting to feel better" I smile at him "Of course bud. Promise me If you ever feel self conscious please tell one of us. Starving yourself is not an option with people who care about you unconditionally around you. Ok bud" Liam smiles his first real smile in ages and says happily "Ok I promise I will come and talk to you or one of the boys about my feelings" Louis pulls up next to us and we get in the car and drive home.

No ones pov

Over time with the help from Niall, Louis, Harry and Zayn Liam got better and up to healthy weight again they all post on social media saying 'We will come back on social media if we see more nice comments to Liam. If we see anymore and Liam starts going downhill again we all will take a break again.' Liam thanks them all for staying with him.
