"I just don't understand, dad." I whine.

"What's hard to understand about drinking a protein shake?" He replies narrowing his eyes at me.

"The fact that you put eggs, tuna, and other stuff in there and I don't even know if it's legal or not!" I exclaim, carefully sniffing it. What? Who knows if it'll explode or not? Dad chuckles then takes it away from me. Finally a peaceful evening.

"I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself today," He says, fidgeting with his fingers and looking down. I smile at him, I know he's thinking about mum right now.

"You're right. I am." Oh. I said that out loud.

"I miss her. More than you could ever imagine, Darcey." He continues with a sad smile on his face. I feel my eyes filling up with tears and I bite my bottom lip to hold them back.

"Dad?" I ask hugging him, "do you remember the song she sang to me when I was little?" A tear slides down my cheek.

"Of course," he says, then sings the little song.

"You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy

When skies are gray

You'll never know, dear

How much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away"

Great. I made my dad cry.

"Please don't cry daddy." I plead, still hugging him.

"I love you, Darc. Your mum is looking down from that paradise in the sky." He winks then sends me to bed.

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

"What the hell?" I mumble groggily, picking up my phone.

"Hello, love! Sorry its kinda early... Haha. So I was wonderin if u were doing anything tomorrow? xx liam"

Aw. I smile even though I probably look like a zombie right now. At 2 in the morning. I decide to text him back.

"Hi liam :) nope not doing anything tomorrow... Why? ;) xx"

I'm such a flirt. Over texts. My phone buzzes again.

"Idk... I guess to hang out 4 a bit ya? :D x"

I giggle, even though I'm not sure why.

"Sure :) what time?"

My stomach kind of flutters as if there's a million tiny butterflies in there. Liam Payne, a mega popular guy, not to mention good looking, wants to hang out with me.

"Hmm say... 5 pm? ;)"

"Sounds good to me :D x"

Let's just say I couldn't sleep very well the rest of the night.

---------------------------------------------

The next morning I wake up at 9 and my dad was no where in sight.

"Well, I guess he can just leave alone to be kidnapped or raped." I say to my rottweiler puppy, Rocky.

Yeah. I talk to my dog. Gotta problem?

I pass by the treats in the kitchen. Rocky barks and looks up at me with big brown eyes. No! Not the eyes! Ugh, fine! I toss him a treat and he happily scurries off to eat it. I go up to the bathroom and shower around four. when I get out, I hear my phone go off. I unlock it and answer without checking the caller id.

"Hello?" I say putting the phone on speaker so I can get changed.

"Darcey? Is that you?" I hear someone scream "NO PLEASE DON'T KILL ME NIALL!" I laugh putting some jeans on. "Yeah it's me." Oh my god. The way Liam says my name sends chills down my spine. Wait, what? I can't possibly be falling for him, I mean I barely know anything about him.

"Are you still there?" Well, that snapped me out of my train if thoughts.

"Yes, Liam, I'm here. Where'd you think I was? Skydiving?" I tell him sarcastically while putting on a loose black shirt that says, "Silence is golden... Ductape is silver."

He laughs and says, "I can't wait until we hang out." By now I'm fully dressed and take him off speaker.

"Only 30 minutes," I chuckle, "can you wait that long?" I tease.

"No," he whines like a five year-old, "I think I might die in fact." I smirk even though he can't see me.

"You can come over early, you know."

"Really?" He squeals. I chuckle.

"Well, why not? I'm bored anyway." He laughs a really, really angelic laugh.

"I'm walking out the door right now!" He exclaims, "Judging by the address you gave me, I'll be there in about five minutes."

"Okay, cool!' Then we hang up. I don't even know what we're gonna do. Oh my gosh that sounded dirty in my innocent mind. Haha, oh well. I turn on the telly for a bit.

"One Direction was seen with a new girl at Starbucks yesterday..."

They show pictures of some blond girl. OH SNAP! THAT GIRL IS ME! I turn it off when I hear the doorbell ring. I sprint down the stairs to it.

"This better be Liam Payne because if it's a rapist, I'd rather not answer it!" I scream and hear a chuckle. I slowly open the door to reveal Liam standing there in jeans, converse, and a black, batman hoodie. I smile up at him, since he's a bit taller than me, considering I'm 5'4.

"Don't worry, I'm not planning on raping anyone." He grins and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Yet." He says with a wink and I raise my eyebrows trying to put on a disgusted face, but failing miserably. He snickers at my attempt so I stuck my tongue out at him.

"So what shall we do today, Liam?" I say very sophistacated.

"We could have a movie marathon, play games or order pizza," he suggests, "or we could do all of them!" His face lights up like a little kid's on Christmas.

"Amen, bro!" So I order the pizza and Liam tried to find a movie on Netflix.

"Paranormal Activity 2, Tangled, or Ice Age?"

"ICE AGE!"

"PARANORMAL ACTIVITY!" We shout our movies at the same time.

"Can we please watch Paranormal Activity? I've seen Ice Age so many times with the guys." He exaggerates the 'so.' I sigh very loudly.

"Fine." I say sticking my tongue out. This is going to make me extremely scared out of my mind.
