Because I'm Taken (Liam Payne)

Chapter 18; Because I'm Taken

Liam

 It has been four days since Olivia left for LA. We talk and text all the time but it's just not the same without her here. I miss seeing Olivia everyday. I hate not being able to kiss her and hold her in a tight embrace. I'm worried about her though, what's going through her mind? Is she happy? Is she upset? There's no way for me to know for sure.

It's beautiful here in LA. I love to look out of my window at night and take pictures of the scenery. I do however miss my friends from Wolverhampton. I haven't made any new ones yet, then again I've only been here for four days. I don't expect to make any for a little while. I must say I am slightly happy though. The change of scenery has been nice for me. I've always liked going new places and seeing new things. I wonder how Liam is, truly. I miss his hugs and his nice comforting kisses. I miss his voice and everything about him. Yes, we speak to each other daily when we have time but it's not the same.

The first X-Factor auditions are today, I have to admit I'm excited. I get to actually sit there and watch everything. I have an hour until we leave, I guess I should start getting ready.

I tossed the sweatpants I had previously been wearing off to the side and stepped into a pair of white cotton shorts. I pulled a black Willie Nelson tee over my head and looked at myself in the long mirror placed on the wall beside my bed. Casual and comfy. I pulled out the white drawer beneath my bed that held all of my flip flops and picked a black pair. I slipped them on easily then strutted over to my vanity in the corner of the room. I primed my face then added a light layer of foundation, setting it with my favorite powder. I added some eyeliner and mascara to my eyes to give them some subtle recognition and added a tiny bit of blush to my cheeks. Boom, makeup is done. I pulled my hair back into a messy bun, pinning back pieces of hair that were too short to get in there. I sprayed it with hair spray lightly and added a little black bow. Mission accomplished.

I trotted downstairs to find Simon.

"Ready to leave whenever you are." I said before grabbing a bottle of Gatorade out of the fridge.

"Okay, let me just go grab my keys." Simon said walking off to somewhere unknown.

Woohoo! We're here! I anxiously scrambled out of the car, almost falling in the process.

"Excited much?" Simon asked, a smirk playing on his face. I nodded in response.

"Well, here's your pass. Take it to the main enterance and show it to them. If you have any problems getting in call me." Simon said to me before walking off to somewhere I assume would be a dressing room of some sorts.

I followed Simon's directions to the main enterance that he had given me the night before. There are so many corridors this is confusing. Finally I saw a door that read MAIN in big white letters. That must be it. I opened the door to find two security guards standing along the sides.

"Pass?" One said in a complete monotone voice. I pulled the pass out of my pocket and they stamped it.

"Your seat is in the third row, fifth seat." The other said putting on a smile. I nodded to say thanks, I'm not much for words with unknown people.

I sat down beside a red-headed girl, she turned and gave me a smile. Well, she seems nice. I smiled back to her to be polite.

"Hey, I'm Stephanie Izada. And you are?" The red-headed girl said holding her hand out for me to shake.

"Olivia Greene, nice to meet you." I said shaking her hand.

"Aren't you Simon Cowell's niece?" Stephanie asked.

"Um yeah you could say that." I said, shrugging slightly.

"Well, that's pretty cool." She said leaning back in her seat.

I have a feeling we're going to get along great.
