I Thought I Meant Something (HS&LPFF) & (Completed) +Bk 2

Chapter 1 ~ The Door Re Opens

I bet now you haven’t heard or seen my name around, its still out there, but its rarely talked about or seen. I’m Mary-Joy H, the girl from Australia, I was the one will rumour says it anyway, I was dating Liam Payne. It was untrue, and full of big rumours and lies. And I have Danielle Liam’s  Payne’s ex to thank for all the trouble she put my family and I through. She started all this and she helped end it to. I’m sure with out a doubt we all know Liam Payne from One Direction, I don’t mean personally, I mean he’s probably on your wall, or written on your notebook at school, or your day dreaming a date with him right now in your head.

As for me, I spent some time with Liam, and we both enjoyed it. I’m not his girlfriend, and we sure are not dating. But we are friends, and he trusts me, and I do have to thanks Dani for helping with that part, and that’s all.  Nothing more she’ll ever get out of me.

Now as I reminisce about the past, I’ve got this small shoe box, with paper clippings, every article, every rumour every lie, I’ve kept. Everything has been cleared up since, she’s formally apologised, the media has quit it and etc. But I bet your wondering why I kept the articles, when sour memories remind me when I look at them. Its because of the short special friendship I shared with Liam. There’s a recent letter he’s sent me I haven’t dared to open it yet. I don’t know why.

I’ll go ahead and read it now. It’s been six months, since we haven’t spoken.

This is what the letter reads:

 

Dear Mary-Joy,

 

These past few months have been tough, the new CD got released, and the song They Don’t Know About Us, is about you and me, I can’t lie though it’s a bit of Dani and I to. I’m missing our chats, and everything, so I’m inviting myself down, with your permission to visit, I’ll spend a week there, I don’t expect it to be secret, I know it can’t and won’t be, but I still want to come, and I want to invite you back here to England to some of the new video filming, I wanted to open this door ages ago, but I need time to heal, still do, and I know you need and feel the same,

Write back MJ, cause like I said in the last article we were something we were friends.

Yours truly,

Perhaps friends again

Liam Payne

 

That what it reads, and I struggle within myself should I open the door? Or leave it closed permanently. The past wasn’t all sugar and roses, but Liam made it sweeter, but it got sour in the end, we both left things unsaid, I left with a heavy heart and after the article the final article on as was published, and the case closed, I had a light heart, but Liam hasn’t had that yet. And that upsets me, and I know it must be hard. He hasn’t got his nasty girlfriend any more, and he hasn’t got a new girlfriend since.

I show Mum and Dad the letter. They look at me and I know there giving me the choice. I know any communication with Liam will spark questions again, and maybe open up a new case between us, but it lingers on my mind, we were something, we were friends, I can’t say best friends, I can’t even say I trust him, like he trust me, but we were friends. And for any friend, I’d be caring, and kind. And that’s what I planned to be for Liam. Supportive, caring and kind, and not to mention understanding to, I don’t write the letter back for a few days, until I’m sure this is what I want.

I draft the letter, and send it off. I smile as I pop it in the post. I’m have a famous friend, I try not to let it get to my head, cause being famous I know causes so many promises. I know for one, I wouldn’t swap my quiet life for his, or anybody else’s. I’m not one who loves the limelight, and I like being me. A while ago, when Dani started trouble, there was a rumour and a lie in the papers each day! And it got to my family and me. I know Liam doesn’t know how that feels, or maybe he does, because he started making up rumour to, that he was dating Leona Lewis, which wasn’t true. I guess he doesn’t mind the spot light, he’d have to I guess, cause girls love him, and the band. And yea.

A few months later, I get a knock at the door, Mum and Dad have taken a walk with our dog, and I’ve stayed back, to write a new poem. A man in a dark black suit is standing at our door. “Hello” I say causally “Hello Miss, are you by a chance Mary-Joy H?” I think about how to answer “Yes I’m Mary-Joy” I say, “Good, Liam awaits you, can you come?” I look at the clock, my parents and my dog are due back any moment, and I’m not one to leave without someone know, where I am, who I’m going with so to such. So I simply say “I can’t come out, but Liam is welcome to come in” The man in the suit looks at me, and studies me “I’ll ask him, and let you know” he rushes off, and I close the front door.

I then allow myself to be excited, I do a jump for joy, and dance around the house. Then I hear the knock at the door. And I open it see Liam Payne standing at my front door.  He’s dressed causally, and is smiling. “G’day mate” he say’s “I believe that’s how you Aussies greet right?” I laugh I hold out my hand “G’day mate” I say, we shake hands, and I invite him in. “I’m glad its how, or I’d have Harry on a plate” I laugh again, and show a slight smile, we begin to have a talk in the kitchen when my parents arrive back. They are surprised to see Liam, they don’t say anything, my dog is much more friendly, sniffing him, demanding pats then licking him. “Don’t do that” I tell my dog playfully “Don’t you know he’s famous?” my dog takes no notice. “He’s awfully friendly” Liam comments “Sure he is, and he’s a pain and fat and yea” we both laugh, my dog leaves us to chat.

“So how would you mind coming back to England with me?” Liam asks “I’d be happy to” I say, “that’s good, the guys, want to take some time to get to know you, and that’s a good thing, but more importantly I want to get to know you better” I smile, the smile is suppose to say its mutual, “I’m glad you opened the door” I say “I’m glad the doors re opened to” He admits, we both smile, and chat, well into the night.
