《One Thing - A Liam Payne Fan Fiction》Chapter 16
Advertisement
When I wake up, I see the rays of sun shine through the blinds leaving rows of sungarden on the white sheets of my bed. I wipe the sandy beaches away from my eyes. I reach up tall and open up the sleeping caves inside my body. My tummy rumbles with the furiosity of a dragon. I turn around to touch Liam,but I placed my hand on top of a pillow.
''Liam?''I mumbled,sitting up.
Where was he? Had he left me? Was this just a one night stand to him?
In my dreams, he was meant to be lying next to me,so that I could watch him sleep and feel his warm breath before embarking on a new day. But now,where was he?
''Liam!'' I said,a bit louder.
I wanted to get out and go look for him but just as I was about to remove my foot from under the covers,I hear the door knob twitch and Liam walks in. He was pushing a silver food cart with nothing but a towel on,his abs in full view, his hair all messed up. As if he couldn't get hotter.
''Morning gorgeous! Brought you some breakfast. Thought you'd be a little tired and hungry,'' he teased,smiling.
''Thanks Liam, I love you.'' .
We ate and then got ready before going out to enjoy the sun and the incredible streets of Venice.We managed to get a painting of the two of us, take a million photos, eat gelato on the pier, and have a lot of fun.It was the happiest I had ever been.
LIAM'S POV
Last night was nothing less of amazing and when I saw Angela in the morning, her face was glowing with natural beauty,she was pure perfection and that was enough for me.I just wanted to just hold her in my arms again.We had a lot of fun checking out Venice although we couldn't keep our hands off each other.
We took a whole bunch of photos. It was like we couldn't stop laughing and playing around as we walked on the narrow streets of Venice, buying souvenirs. Oh,I loved this girl ! Just being in her vicinity drove me crazy,but getting to hold her was absolutely ridiculous.
I didn't want to leave this paradise.
ANGELA'S POV
Our little fantasy was slowly coming to an end as we had to return to London.That night,after landing at the airport,we held our breaths hoping that nothing drastic would happen.Upon coming out of the arrivals terminal,Liam and I were swarmed by paparrazi and fans at the same time.He held my hand tightly as we fought our way past them,trying to ignore the remarks,comments and questions being posed on us.

''So you two are official now?''
''Is it Danielle or Angela?''
''What about Tom Daley?''
''Here! Look here Mr Payne!''
''Are you two dating already or just having an affair?''
''Liam I love you! Please marry me!'
''Angela! Angela! Can you answer a few questions?''
It was insane. The airport security tried their best but too many people had crowded us. We rushed into the back of the limo that had come to pick us up and once I was safely inside,I heaved a sigh of relief.I wasn't ready to face the world,all I wanted to do was be with Liam right now. Why can't they let us have this moment? Just this once?
''Don't worry,we can do this,'' he reassured me,holding my hand tighter.His sensible nature made me calm, calmer than I'd ever been. No wonder they called him ''Daddy Directioner.''
LIAM'S POV
I reached my flat to find Danielle sitting on the couch with a solemn look on her face. I didn't expect to find her there.
''Danielle...?'' I mumbled, baffled by her presence.
She looked up, her eyes were red and her cheeks puffed up. Her curly hair was tangled up.I could guess that she had been crying cause she looked like a total mess,not something I was not used to seeing.
''Did you think I'd just let you go like that Liam?'' she asked,standing up.Her eyes were seething with anger and she was unmistakably furious.
''Umm Dani,I'm sorry I just-''
''Liam,stop this nonsense! How could you throw away what we had for that, for that WHORE?!'' she screamed.She was moving closer and I felt a slight need to protect myself from her.
''Danielle, calm down! I understand your hurt but you have no right to-''
''DON'T TELL ME TO FUCKING CALM DOWN!'' she shouted, pushing the flower vase that was next to her to the floor with a crash.Wow.Okay.
''Everything was perfect Liam, then this girl just comes along and grabs you away from me? No,I cant stand this!'' she cried, tears rolling down her cheeks.
''It's not her fault Danielle, she did nothing wrong, it's you,you're just too obsessed with the limelight,but her? She was refreshing, she doesn't care about being seen with me or the paparrazi,and you know what? I love her.............alot'' I replied sternly.
Danielle just stared at me in disbelief and then she put her hands on her face and ran out of the flat crying.Then I realized how hurtful my words must have been to her.

''Danielle.....'' I trailed off, but she had already rushed out of the door,shutting it with a bang.
Angela's POV
I reached my flat and opened the door, exhausted from the flight.I threw my bags to the floor and looked up only to see, my stunning ex boyfriend, sitting on the couch composedly. He looked disoriented as he stared at the carpet and held his fists tight.
''Glad your back,'' he commented coolly without even looking at me.
''Ummm Tom, what are you doing here?'' I enquired. God knows how awkward this situation must have been for me. I wasn't ready to face him, no, not what after I did to him. He has every right to loathe me.
''You owe me a proper break up, Angie,'' he said.
My heart sunk. I knew that I had to explain to him what was going on. I loved Tom but Liam and I just shared something special,I didn't know what it was,he just had that one thing that won over Tom. I couldn't understand what it was,maybe it was that when he sang a garden of butterflies filled my stomach,or that when he cracked a stupid joke or teased me It made me laugh till I almost wet myself. I didn't get it either and I wasn't sure If I would be able to explain it to him.
''I know,I'm so sorry Tom,I wish I had-''
''Just cut to the chase, Angie, you love Liam, not me.You didn't what to cheat on me so you decided to let go of me all together,'' he said,bluntly. Guesss he figured it out all by himself.He was closer now. I missed staring into his eyes,but now,I had broken him. The pain and hurt in his eyes was so clear,and I felt awful that I had been the reason for it.
''I'm sorry. I don't deserve you Tom,you should be with a girl that can make you really happy,I'm not that girl,'' I said,sincerely.
''You don't get it.You make me happy,I love you beyond words Angela May,I'm crazy about you!''
I was speechless.
''But if it's Liam you love,I'm going to have to accept that.I just wish that you had given me a heads up on this. Friends?'' he said,opening his arms wide.
I hugged him immediately,and then let out a sigh of relief. Tears were balancing on my eyelids but I held them back. How perfect could this guy be?
''I love you Tom.Oh My God.Thanks for understanding.Yes,we are best friends!'' I remarked,with satisfaction. The hug could have lasted minutes,hours...but It still felt short.
After Tom left, I got a text from Liam.
Danielle is mad, she's being all hysterical.I don't know what to do.
I didn't know what to tell him either,I needed some advice and encouragement as well.
''Angieeee! Been a minute! Heard your back in town!'' Zara screamed on the phone.
''Yeah,come by my place soon,maybe? Anyway,Zara,I broke up with Tom to be with Liam cause-''
''WHAT? HOW? WHERE? WHEN?'' she cut me off,sounding really surpirised.She was always the last to know about stuff since she never paid attention to tabloids.
''Umm,about 3 days ago,Liam surprised me in Venice and I had to admit my feelings for him,and I didn't want to hurt Tom so I just had to let him go,but gladly we talked about it and he understood. But Liam on the other hand,is having trouble with-''
''Danielle?'' she cut me off again.
''Yeah,and I don't know how to help him,I understand that she's hurt but im scared that she might try to -''
''Break you guys up,'' she continued for me.
''Exactly!'' I exclaimed,finally taking a deep breath.
''Don't worry,boo.Leave that to Liam,there's nothing you can do to stop Danielle from raging out,but be sure,that me,Tom and Liam won't let anyone hurt you. Anyway,let's meet up,McDonalds maybe? I have a few questions for you!''
''Fine,'' I said, before hanging up.
Half an hour later I arrived at McDonalds and took a seat at the corner where I couldn't be easily noticed. I glanced at the menu as I waited for Zara to arrive and ordered for a soda.
''You bitch!'' I heard a scream for the door. My head shot up and I was quite astounded to see that it was none other than Danielle.
I deleted the sex scenes, sorry lol

It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

Kichiro's Rampage
Meet Kichiro, the son of a samurai. A social outcast, he leaves his home with nothing but a musket and a sword, determined to carve himself a niche in a chaotic world of dragons and leviathans. This fiction incorporates LitRPG elements, but it's not set in a VR. It's set in a fantastical world based loosely on East Asia in the 16th and 17th Century, when the Ming Dynasty was on its last legs, with the addition of magic and monsters. I totally stole the stat tables from Exterminatus, the author of Everybody Loves Large Chests, so let me credit him for that. I'm new to writing so please don't hesitate to criticise, and reviews would be greatly appreciated.
