Chapter 8
Three years later
***RORYS POV***
Liam's career took off after he was joined with the other four boys on the X-Factor. It's absolutely amazing, neither of us every thought they would become so big.
At the very beginning of all this madness, Liam and I decided it was best to keep Jane and I a secret from everyone, including his band mates. Our situation was a little bit hard to explain to everyone and we didn't want Jane to be in the spotlight at such a young age. As he became bigger and bigger, we watched how people began to find out everything about his family and we were both extremely happy that we kept our secret.
In the beginning we called each other all the time, but he got busy so the everyday turned into a twice a week. Then the boys became suspicious of why Liam kept running off to make phone calls. This turned our twice a week into once every two weeks, and even then the boys were suspicious. One time they even stole his phone and called me. That sure was interesting to explain. It went along the lines of something like I found this lost phone the day before and I had actually been trying to find the owner and then I asked them if they knew who the owner was. When that threw them off, both me and Liam decided calling was becoming a threat to keeping me and Jane a secret. With this, we stopped calling, mainly emailing back and forth but then the boys found one of our emails and he told them I was a fan. With that, we stopped emailing.
There is only one person outside the family who now knows about me and Jane, Danielle Peazer, Liam's girlfriend. When she first came back to meet his family, we decided if she was meeting the rest of the family then she should meet me and Jane too. At first she was a little bit shocked, but she immediately understood and now she and I are closer than ever. She is mine and Liam's only form of communication as of now. We write out hand written letters with the occasional picture and she gives them back and forth for us. Once Jane started talking she started calling her Auntie Danni. We try our best to visit each other as much as possible because for the majority of the year she is my only connection to Liam. She has most definitely become one of my best friends and we tell each other everything.
As for Jane, she is 3 years old now with bleach blonde hair and these ice blue eyes. She is the spitting image of me when I was her age before my hair slowly faded into a light brunette. She is walking and talking and is so my daughter. Always on the go, never shutting up, and she definitely gives the best cuddles. As for her relationship with Liam, they adore each other. Whenever she sees him on TV or hears his songs on the radio she yells out DADDYYYYY, so she definitely understands who he is and when he comes home to visit they are inseparable despite the fact that that isn't often. The last time they really spent time together was about 6 months ago.
As for me, I have changed a lot since Liam left to go live his dream. I most definitely have become extremely independent. My photography took off and I am now a part time photographer for Marc Jacobs and I do my own photography on the side. I travel back and forth every now and then to do a week of photo shoots with Marc, which is absolutely amazing. I have died my hair so now it is a dark purple color and I have gotten two tattoos. My first one is one the back of my neck and it is Jane's birthday. Liam convinced me about a year and a half ago to get it on one of his visits home. My second is Liam's name in fancy writing on my wrist. I got this one about a year ago when I was missing Liam a lot.

On a slightly darker note, my nightmares have still not gone away; they have just broken down into cycles. They become worse around the times of the anniversary of the incident, around Jane's birthday, and when I become extremely lonely. I have been becoming more and more lonely as I realize that I don't have many friends and those I do have I now consider family and are Liam's family. I am missing Liam more than ever right now.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I am walking down the streets of London in my Jacke Daniels band-t with a balck bandeau, jean shorts, my old plack concerse, and my hair is curled and pinned up off my shoulders. We have been here for the past week working on a photo shoot for Marc Jacobs. Today is my last day here and I had the day off. I slept in with Jane at a fellow photographer's, Julie, apartment. She lets me crash with her for the week when I come down because she works for Marc as well and has an extra room. As I walk through the streets of London she is currently spending the day with Jane, giving me a day off to be alone.
Today is the anniversary. The anniversary of the day that I was kidnapped and rapped. To say the least this day was one I like to spend alone, that is why Julie is watching Jane. This morning I made an appointment at a local tattoo shop to get a new tattoo. It would go across the tops of my shoulders and would say "you are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold", just as a little reminder to myself.
Before my appointment I stop at the Starbucks across the street and man was it packed. I finally make my way up to the register.
"Hi, can I please have a mocha-hazelnut iced late?" I ask politely
"Yes, will that be all?" I nod in response and hand the young lady my money. She quickly made my latte and handed it to me. "Have a lovely day."
"You too." I smile hoping that this day is actually going to get better despite it being constant reminder. As I made my way to the door an old gentleman held the door for me before he was to enter.
"Ladies first." He said with a grin as he moved his hand to show me the way.
"Why thank you kind sir." I grinned uncontrollably at the cute old man and I made my way across the busy street to the tattoo shop.
