Fay's Pov: I wake up to the sound of my phone going off, I sit up and a book falls into my lap, I guess I fell asleep while reading again last night. I grab my phone and see Liam's name on my screen. I unlock my phone and read the message.

Liam: get your lazy arse out of bed.

Me: I hate you so much.

Liam: ik you love me. (;

I feel my stomach do a flip, he has no idea. I pull my blanket off and slide out of my bed, setting my book on my windowsill. I feel the cold air hit me and decide that I hate winter. I look at his message one more time, knowing he doesn't mean it in the way I wish he did, and shut my phone off.

I had just finished straightening my hair when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I grab my phone and quickly reply to Liam.

Liam: I'm here

Me: okay I'll be out in a sec.

I look for my contacts but I can't find them so I grab my glasses and hurry down the stairs. "Mom I'm leaving bye!" I yell to her wherever she is in the house, and run out the door, grabbing my bag. I run to Liam's car and jump inside, "Hey sorry I was late." I mumble. "No worries," he smiles, I never understood why Liam didn't go to college right away but he said he wasn't sure what he wanted to do yet, even though me and him knew he wanted to be a singer, it's hard to get in the music industry. But he could do it, I know he could. So for now he just gives me rides.

"Hey you're wearing glasses." he mentions, and I blush in embarrassment, I rarely wore glasses. "Oh umm yeah I was going to wear contacts but I couldn't find them.". "I like them." he says, and I blush at the compliment. "Hey, are we still on for movie night?" he asks, movie nights were kind of our thing. "I can't, I'm moving out in like a week remember?" I tell him, I was finally moving into an apartment of my own, it was just a few minutes away from Liam and his friends Niall's flat.

"Oh yeah right, of course." "It's fine maybe next week if I'm done unpacking." I smile. "Count me in." he smiles back. I feel the car jolt to a stop as I realize we are in front of my college. "Well this your stop.". "Okay thanks again for the ride li." I smile. "How could I possibly pass up the chance to hang out with you?" he jokes, and I laugh,"beats me.", And I get out of the car, closing the door. I watch Liam leave and hear the bell ring behind me, the tingly feeling in my stomach leaving me as I walk on campus.

+ After school.

There's only 2 minutes of class left. When Mr. Baldwin hands rubrics for our next project back, they are worth 70% percent of our our overall grade. What am I supposed to do, I don't have ideas! I hear Mr. Baldwin dismiss us, and stuff my papers in my backpack I'll worry about this later. As I walk down the hall I reach in my pocket and realize my phones not there, I start panicking, were could it be. After going to all my classes I decide someone has probably taken it or I left it at home. I usually call Liam and ask him to pick me up since he lives so close but since I don't have my phone, I can't. I start heading towards the main office to see if I can us their phone, when I realize it is pouring outside, just my luck.

I call Liam but only get his voicemail, so I decide to walk to Liam's I mean it's only like a 10 min walk right? I sigh its times like these I wish I had a car but college is expensive enough and I just bought my own place I don't need any more expenses at the moment. I walk outside as I see someone in an adidas hood walking towards the office, I'm just about to walk from under the office's awning, when I hear them yell for me to stop and I realize it's Liam. "Liam? what are you doing here?" I ask him. "You left your phone in my car, I thought I'd come bring it to you suppose I came just in time." he laughs. "I guess so." I smile.

"Here wear this I don't want you to get wet." he insists. "Liam its fine I don't want you to get cold." I say, but he's already taken of his sweatshirt and handed it to me. "Love, its fine I don't mind, really." he promises. "Okay if you insist." I shrug, sliding the black sweatshirt over my shoulders. Liam laughs as the sweatshirt's sleeves dangle, I didn't realize Liam's arms were so long. "Okay lets go hurry!" he says grabbing my hand and dragging, me too the car. I feel goosebumps and I can't tell if it's from him holding my hand or from the cold rain pouring down. He lets go of my hand and we get into his car, the feeling I get whenever I'm around Liam already bubbling up in my stomach. He starts the car and plays the radio softly. I put my head against the window, enjoying the feeling of warmth while engulfed in Liam's sweatshirt, it smells like rain and cologne and in some strange way it makes me smile. I feel myself drifting to sleep, as Liam hums the beat to a song I don't know.

"Hey wake up Fay, we are at my house." I feel someone say as their breathe tickles my ear then I realize its Liam, and am wide awake, blush I'm sure evident on my cheeks. "Did I fall asleep?" I ask groggily. "Just for a few minutes." he chuckles lightly, and I realize it is still raining. I open my door and get out of the car as Liam goes ahead of me opening the door, him shivering a little. "I'm sorry Liam you look like your freezing." I say a guilty pit in pit in the bottom of my stomach. "Its fine really, I'm happy you had It." he smiles reassuringly. "I'm going to go get in some dry clothes how about you pick a movie to watch." he says. "Okay." I reply tiredly, I just hope I stay awake for the movie. I grab the remote and sit on the couch, I guess Nialls not home yet. I click on Netflix and wait for it to load, until I feel my eyelids getting heavy as I lay down on the couch, falling asleep.

Liam's Pov:

"Fay have you picked a movie yet?" I yell to her. No response. I walk out into the living room and see Fay curled up on the couch, still in my sweatshirt. I turn of the TV, Netflix just loaded on the screen, and grab a blanket for Fay. I think about leaving her on the couch but it is terribly uncomfortable. I take on last look at her peaceful figure before setting the blanket aside and picking her up in my arms. I carry her to my room and set her down in my bed, putting the blanket over her securely. But right as im about to leave the room and sleep on the couch i have the urge to not leave her alone, i don't know why i mean that's the friendly thing to do right, plus she is shivering? Either way i do. I fall asleep to sound of rain hitting the roof, and Fay's breathes, I can't help but think how lucky I am to have her as my best friend as i wrap the blanket around the both of us.
