wrong number//zach herron

4.6

aimee has been on her diet for a full week now. she has decided to not tell any of the boys so they won't worry about her but they have started to catch on.

aimee walked downstairs to zach making pancakes

"hey aims, i'm making pancakes and the boys will be over in a couple minutes" zach says as he kisses her on the head
"i'm not that hungry, i'm just going to have eggs" aimee says walking towards the fridge
"are you sure?"
"yeah, z. i had a lot to eat last night" aimee says as she starts to cook her egg whites

zach could tell aimee was acting weird but brushed it off thinking that she was nervous for her shoot today.

"wassup homies!" daniel yells as he walks in the apartment with the rest of the boys
"later tonight we are going out to eat, you want to come with aimee?" corbyn asks as he sits at the counter
"yeah, that would be great" aimee responded totally forgetting her diet.
"great, we'll pick you up from your shoot" zach said

after eating aimee went upstairs to get ready for the day. with her diet she started to notice her flaws in her body. she started to become insecure and hate herself.

...

the boys pulled up to the shoot

"does she really have to come?" jack complained
"dude she's my girlfriend. yes she is coming. what happened to you guys being bestfriends?" zach asked
"i just don't trust her anymore. i have no more respect left for her after what she has said and down" jack finally explained
"well that's ok, if you kept it to yourself. keep it to yourself or have the decency to at least be nice to her" jonah said turning off the car to wait for aimee.

"hey guys" aimee said opening the car door
"took you long enough, i'm starving" zach complained as she sat next to him
"whatever" aimee said while rolling her eyes hugging him

as they looked the menu, aimee started to freak out. they don't sell two boiled eggs at an italian restaurant.
after the waiter took the boys orders she looked at aimee
"oh, um, i'm not going to get anything" aimee said as she handed her the menu
"ok, your food will be out shortly" she walked off
"what do you mean you're not getting anything" zach turned to her and asked
"it means i'm not hungry, zach" aimee said getting mad "i'm going to the bathroom" she gets up

"dude, is she okay?" daniel asked
"i don't know, she hasn't been eating as much. actually all i've seen her eat in the past week are egg whites in the morning" zach frowned
"do you think she, you know" jonah trailed on
"no, no, no!" zach said shaking his head not even wanting to think about that
"zach, if she has a problem this bad, you need to talk to her and get her help" jack said, deep down he still really cared for the girl

"shhh! she's coming back" daniel whisper-yelled
"yep i am" aimee said smiling while sitting down
the rest of dinner was filled with the boys talking as aimee watched them socialize and eat.

...

at home zach and aimee had just walked in the apartment as aimee immediately ran upstairs, leaving zach in the doorway.

he walked to the bathroom door and knocked after seeing she locked the door. "aimee? are you okay"
"go away, zach" aimee yelled
"woah, why are you mad?"
"because zach, you called me out at the restaurant, that's not okay. i'm embarrassed and i would like time to be mad at you"
"wait, what do you mean i called you out?" zach was confused
"i mean you didn't have to mention i wasn't eating, it is none of the boys' business, and it not any of yours either" aimee said getting upset

"aimee, i'm sorried about you, you haven't been eating. that's normal, you know, for me to be worried? what's wrong" aimee unlocked the door, revealing her tear-stained eyes. zach hugs her immediately. aimee explains her diet and workout plan and how she is mentally drained, as zach sat and listened.

"aimee-" zach started but aimee cut him off
"but zach you don't understand, the more i think about what they said, the more i hate my body. the more i hate my body, the less i eat and more i workout"
"this is bad. you need to quit"
"do you not realize. this is my dream, zach! what if someone told you to quit the band or touring?!"
"that's different, aimee! that is not hurting me physically and mentally!"
"i don't think i can be here right now" aimee says as she grabs some of her stuff and leaves the apartment.

aimee went back to her house.
"who's there?! i have a gun!" presley yells as he walks down the stairs to see who broke in
"chill out! it's me! it's aimee!" aimee yelled, worried of being shot by her paranoid brother
"aimee? why are you home? i thought you decided zach's apartment is better than our huge, empty house" presley said putting his gun down
"why do you have a gun?!" aimee said shocked to see her brother with a gun
"don't worry about it. now why are you here? are you okay?"
"i don't want to talk about" aimee said walking up the stairs to her room to sleep.
