The Payne In Us

4//The Calmness

Sarah Riley

We walked out of our room smiling at each other and gripping hard on each other's hand.
As we walked in we were greeted with smiles from all the boys.

"Look at the happy couple!" Harry teased as Liam nudged him in the arm.

"Pizzas comin in around 20 minutes" Niall shouted.

I sat down. Liam followed and sat right next to me. As he put his arm around me I rested my head on his shoulder seeking comfort.

"What movie?" Louis asked flipping through different categories on Netflix.

"Maybe. Um Hunger Games?"I asked.

Everyone nodded in agreement and kept it at the pause menu until the was supposed to come. Liam glanced down at me with my head on his chest now and smiled.

"Good choice by the way" He said chuckling.

I chuckled at him. He smiled as he saw the way I chuckled.

Niall barged in when we all heard a knock on the door. Niall was so excited for food he didn't bother to get dressed and he was hoppin around in his tidy-whities.

Everyone chuckled as Niall realized he wasn't wearing pants and immediately turned red.

Niall ran into his bedroom with embarrassment and Liam unwrapped his arm around me and went to the door. He payed the guy with a $3 tip while the pizza guy ran off and Liam brought in the two boxes for us.

"1st box is sausage, 2cd box is sausage and pepperoni" Liam stated.

Looking over their on the couch with no one by her side gave me a queasy feeling. When I left to go to the door I missed her I just couldn't help it. I could not live with myself without her.

I opened up the boxes and shouted "dig in!"

I could see Sarah chuckling and I smiled because the way she chuckled was so adorable and cute. I couldn't help but stare for a minute and quickly turn away trying not to make it obvious.

"I'd like two slices of sausage and pepperoni" She ordered.

I pulled over open the box revealing the pieces cut into a heart. She was stunned. She smiled as I leaned into kiss her on the cheek.

I grabbed two pieces of half of the heart and gave it to her. Plopping them down on her plate.

I took the other half of the heart smiling.

"Is like I'm waking up to, only a half a blue sky. Kinda there but not quite. I'm walking around with just one shoe. I'm half a heart without you. I'm half a man at best with half an arrow in my chest. I miss everything we do. I'm half a heart without you" The boys and I sang confidently.

She chuckled and smiled at the same time. I saw her wipe her eye with my sweater and smiled. That sweater was finally on the right girl. That was a great feeling to have.

After we all grabbed our grub. We walked towards the couches. I followed Sarah plopping down next to her. I put my arm around her putting my hand on her shoulder. It makes me feel like she's secure in my arms.

"I love you" I whispered in her ear soft enough for only her to hear.

" I love you too" She whispered laying her head on my chest.

The lights dimmed as the movie started.

After the movie

Liam Payne

When the movie ended I looked down to see Sarah asleep still with her head on my chest. Everyone got up rubbing their eyes and went off to bed. I carefully carried Sarah into bed and tucked her in. After that I laid down next to her.

Even though she was asleep I always cherished when I had her near me. I drifted off to sleep with my arms around her waist.

I awoke with a slight blur soon focusing on on my surroundings. When I woke up I turned over seeing Liam smiling as he pretended he was asleep but I could tell he wasn't. When I got up, he rubbed his eyes sleepily and I walked into the bathroom for a shower.

As soon as I got out of the shower I got dressed and redid my makeup with my other necessities. Then headed into our bedroom for another set of clothes. I ran there and locked the door as soon as I could so everyone knew I needed some privacy.

I soon found new sweaters on top of my duffle with a small note.

To: Sarah
From:Liam
I figured you needed some clothes and I had extra so here you go<3

I smiled at the note and grabbed a hoodie with the logo 1D and grabbed a beanie with the logo 5sos on top. I also quickly slipped on some jeans.

I walked out into the living room. Sitting down on the couch tuning into the spongebob episode that Harry and Niall were watching. I wondered where Louis and Liam were.

"Where's Liam and Louis?" I asked concerned.

"They will be gone for a couple days" Harry responded. "Didn't Liam tell you?"

"No why are they gone?" I responded with another question.

"Louis is going to meet up with Zayn and Liam said he's gonna talk to modest about you staying with us" He responded faintly.

I could see on his face that it was a hard topic to talk about so I changed the subject.

Niall got up and went into the kitchen. Moments later I made my way towards the kitchen to get myself some breakfast but Harry stopped me.

"No need to grab any cereal love." He said smiling. "Niall's making us some breakfast"

I smiled and nodded. I turned back and plopped down on the couch. I pulled my phone out revealing texts from an unknown number.

I started to read the texts.

Unknown
Babe I miss ya! I forgot to explain to ya that I might be able to get modest to let you stay with us <3 x

Unknown
Hello babe! Are ya up ? xx

Unknown
Are Niall and Harry treating you alright ? :)

As I finished reading I smiled realizing it was Liam. I created a new contact with that number in it and changed the name from Unknown to Liam Payne. That was the best feeling in the world. I was just wondering how he got my number.

I clicked the home screen button and realized something different about my wallpaper. It wasn't me and my ex. It was a picture of Liam holding me in his arms with me asleep on his chest. I blushed just looking at it. There were words on there too and I read them.

These arms are made for holding you

I smiled after reading them. I was already missing him.
