Switchblade heart (a one direction fan fiction)

chapter 6

Liam's POV------------------------------

I woke up and looked at the time, we had an hour and a half left before we landed in london. She was still asleep, I chuckled at the sight as she slid off my chest and into my lap with a light 'thump'. What made me laugh was that she didn't wake up, I ran my hand over her hair and hummed a song by ed sheeran, a good friend of me and the boys. After 30 mins, she woke up, "Good evening love, we have about an hour before we land." I said soothingly, she nodded sweetly, "liam.." she trailed off, her voice as sweet as honey, "yes love?" I asked her with another smile. "How the hell did I end up sleeping on your lap?" she asked with a smile, I blushed as she sat up, "Well, I moved and you uh...fell? I swear that's what really happened" I said defensively. "owwie, you talk loud." she said with a frown, pulling her hand up to her head as her hair started to change to black and her eyes flashed orange. I was starting to think this whole color changing thing had to do with her mood, "sorry I forgot that you still have a hangover" I whispered to her causing her to smile weakly. "It's fine, I really shouldn't have drank so much" she said with a chuckle, her hair started changing again, this time I took out a pen and wrote down: Feeling jokish. I waited for her hair to fully change color, I then wrote down rainbow and hazel eyes, One day I'll be able to decode this odd woman. She looked at me confused as her hair started going blonde and Crystal blue dripping into the color of her eyes, I wrote this down too. "What are you doing..?" she asked slowly and cautiously, I shook my head and put my notepad up, "nothing love, just taking note of how beautiful you are in case I never see you again." I said with a cheeky smile. She lightly pushed my shoulder then frowned, "though that was super cheesy...take me home with you." she said half serious half playful. "What about your family? Isn't that why your heading to london?" I asked a bit amused at her asking to take her home with me. "That's not why I'm heading to london. I don't have family, in america.... or in london. I came to start off new." she said plainly, she didn't put a lot of emotion into her words so I guessed that she was used to the fact of not having a family, how sad. Maybe I could take her... "are you sure about this? I mean we don't even know that much about each other." I said feeling unsure but a little thrilled that I would be able to see her more, "Hun you know more than my best friend does. And you? Well I could always just get to know you when I stay with you." she said. I wonder why she trusts me so much when we barely met, I mean I love that she trusts me because she should, but I wonder if she trusts everyone else this much. If she does it's not really safe to be on her own, "do you have a place to stay?" I asked her after snapping out of my thoughts, "no I was going to stay at a hotel until I got a job." she said putting her shoes back on, I looked down at my watch. It was almost time for us to land, the boys said they would be here when I land, harry said he was going to pick up a friend of his as well... I wonder who that is.

Jessica's POV----------------------------

As I put on my shoes, I noticed that I could still hear his thoughts. Wait, was harry planning on picking me up? I don't recall asking him to, but maybe he's just being polite. "Stop over thinking it. Plus I have no ride and my head still REALLY hurts." I told him holding my head in my hands, it really was hurting, I have no clue why I drank so much. "Fine, but only because it's my fault your head hurts." he said finally coming to a conclusion on letting me stay, "woo-hoo!" I yelled with a smile, recieving stares from everyone and an embarrassed look from my new mate. "Don't yell so loud, I know you can be hyper person sometimes but keep it cool." he warned, "oh so now I have to be cool to hang out with you" I said with a smirk, putting fingered quotations around the word cool. "That's not what I meant and you know it." he smiled and nudged me, "so which do I wear? A snapback or a yolo sweatshirt?" I said with sarcasm. "Both and maybe even a mask to keep all that" he said gesturing to my face, "hidden" he finished. I gasped and put my hand over my chest in fake hurt, "why I never.." I said and he chuckled. "well now you did" he said with a wink, "Oh Mr. Payne you are quite so charming." I said in my best "fancy" british voice. He rolled his eyes at me with a smile, "Yea, we could get to being really good friends" he said with a smile. I laughed and the light above our seats flashed, notifying us that the plane was landing and we could take off our seatbelts, "I can't wait to me your mates, wait...do you think they'll like me? What if they think that I'm a freak?" I asked nervously, feeling my hair change colors as I got up to step out of the airplane. He got out his notepad and looked at me before writing something down, I was starting to think he might be making a color code for my hair and eyes. I chuckled at the thought, he would have quite a time keeping up. "You'll be fine! They'll love you! I'm absolutely sure about it." he said cheerfully with no doubt in his words, "ok." I said with a smile as we walked down the hall to the main airport center, he walked over to grab his luggage, I watched as he grabbed a plain black pair of suitcases. We turned and walked to some seats waiting for the lads to pick us up, "where's your luggage?" he asked, noticing that I had nothing with me but a wallet and a phone. "oh I uh... didn't bring anything." I said biting my lip, "well... when you said 'starting fresh' you surely did mean it" he joked with a chuckle. "Hey Li you should always take my words seriously, 'cause I'm always right" I said sarcasticly, "LEEEYUUUMM!!!!!" an Irish voice yelled from behind us, we both turned our heads and saw three boys running towards where we were sitting. Liam jumped up from his seat, completely forgetting his belongings and ran over to the blonde boy, I recognized him as niall, pulling him into an embrace. I grabbed his luggage and strolled over to them guessing that it would be a while until he fully gets done visiting with his best mates, "Li I know you're world famous and what-not but I'm definitely not your maid" I said with a chuckle dropping his things at his feet once he got done hugging the man I noticed as zayn. He smiled at me then smirked, "shoot and I really thought I would be able to hire you too." he joked with a laugh. "huhm" I turned my head as louis cleared his throat, "and who might this lovely lady be?" he asked with a charming voice. I felt myself blush as liam opened his mouth to explain, "oh, hey lads! I see you've met the girl I've been talking about already" he said, walking up from god knows where, with a content smile. He walked up to me and without a notice, gave me a bug bear hug, "nice to finally see you love" he whispered in my ear, making sure no one could hear him. As we pulled out of our embrace I noticed that everyone was staring at us with shocked faces, especially liam.

..........~--2 hours later--~..........

"So I just happened to spend and become friends with this woman throughout our whole flight, and you were planning to take her home with us and have her stay for a couple of weeks, by coincidence?" liam asked though it came out more as a statement, I could tell he was trying to sort things out. I leaned back in my chair, closing my eyes and rubbing my temples, we were at a restaurant and me and harry had gone already an hour and a half trying to explain everything to them, well not EVERYTHING, we still weren't sure if we should tell them about mine and harry's "special" powers. But we did tell them about the color changing, that subject was bound to pop up anyway, considering the fact that I still had no control over it. "Well whatever the reason I'm sure we are all very pleased that you chose to stay with us" niall finally said with a smile, this seemed to have stopped the bickering and confusion. After a moment of silence and eating zayn broke the silence, "So, you never told us. How did you and harry end up meeting?" zayn presse, obviously suspicious about the whole 'harry and I' subject, Ugg. Here we go again.
