The Payne In Us

3//The Truth Hurts Sometimes

Sarah Riley

I woke up in a bed. I twitched my eyes with a blur. As my eyes started to focus I got out of the strange bed. I walked into the hallway which was shaking lightly, I could tell we were in a car or bus of some kind, maybe a tour bus.
Probably.

I walked into the living room seeing 3 guys sitting on the couch. They were all into something on their phone but so only noticed I was there. "Hello love" The three of them said.
I smiled as I greeted them.

I stopped inside the small kitchen pouring myself some cereal. As I took the bowl and turned I saw 2 pairs of eyes eyeing me. The man who took me and a blushed blonde.

As I sat down on the other couch across from them I pulled out my phone. Slowly from the corner of my eye I saw Liam get up and sit right next to me with the blonde glaring.

"Hey babe" He whispered in my ear. I smiled and greeted him again.

"Can you be my girlfriend?" He asked sternly looking into my eyes.

"Yes"

As soon as the word escaped my lips he smiled so brightly that his cheeks were starting to turn red.

He grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers together.

The boys seemed to notice our hands together and smile as Liam winked at them. Harry and Niall both smiled brighter.

At that moment I felt free and safe with Liam. He was so sweet and cared so much for my safety and now I could call him mine.

Niall turned on the small flat screen. He flipped through the channels and stopped at Spongebob SquarePants.

The boys turned as another man walked into the living room groaning. "Hello everyone" Louis said.

"Hi Louis" Everyone replied cheerfully.

I was still in utter shock that Liam liked me and had the courage to ask me out. I was in baggy sweat pants and a One Direction t-shirt which I wondered how I got it. Maybe Liam gave it to me. I didn't know anyone who liked One Direction so I went with that.

"I think I might get a bit more rest" I stated.

They all looked at weirdly but then nodded as I left to go back to my bedroom. As I curled up in the covers the door opened and so only closed.

I felt someone come into bed with me. Minutes later I felt hands around me and knew who came in.

"Are you okay babe?" He asked concerned

"I'm fine just a bit tired"I responded.

I was assuming we were cuddling but wasn't sure about it until he whispered something to me.

"You know I'll be you life, your voice, your reason to be. My love, my heart is beating for this moment in time. I'll find the words to say before you leave me today" He whispered.

I smiled and he noticed.

"I came into comfort you because I thought there was something wrong, are you okay with me staying with you?" He asked curiously.

"If I'm being honest, I love when you're with me" I replied truthfully.

"If I'm bein honest with ya, when I saw you in that trunk I knew I loved you. You looked so peaceful and lovely. I'm glad you came in here because I wanted to cuddle" He said smiling.

I chuckled hard.

He chuckled back smiling and turning bright red.

"Can you turn over for a minute babe?" He asked.
