My "Best" Friend (Liam Payne)

Chapter Thirty-Eight Box

I woke up to a deep pain in my stomach. I moved my arm to feel it. Putting pressure on it made it feel better. Then I felt something else. Another hand. It was Liam. I turned my head and saw his brown eyes looking at me. He smiled, "I'll take care of it."

"You can't always take care of it."

"Yes, I can."

"No, you have to go back on your X-Factor Tour."

"There are only three more concerts. And all in the same place."

"I don't care."

"Well, I guess I'll just have to move the concert to this very hospital room!"

"Good luck with that."

"Thank you!" he said, and we both started laughing.

"Do you think I could try walking?"

"If you're bloody mad, then sure!"

"It's me Liam."

"You're right, bloody mad Paisley is loose!"

"Oh shut it!"

Liam got up, and came around to my side of the bed to help. I moved to sit up with me feet on the ground. It already felt so good. He took my hands, and I stood up. I took one step. Little bits of pain came to it. "How does it feel?"

"It hurts a little."

"Will you be able to dance in four weeks?"

"What?"

(Liam's P.O.V)

"Will you be able to dance in four weeks?"

"What?"

"Just wondering."

"You're bonkers."

"Let's try."

"Okay Liam."

I took her right hand, and put my left on her side, but not her hip, on the cut. She smiled. We danced around the room she would stumble a couple of times, but she would just try again. Then we stopped because we heard the door open. She hurried in her bed, and I leaned against the wall. Her doctor came walking in.

"Hello Paisley. I see that you're finally awake." She smiled and nodded. "Now, you have stitches, and will be keeping them in for four weeks-,"

"What!?" I blurted out interrupting him.

"Is there a problem?"

"Well, she won't exactly be in the country in four weeks."

"Liam, what are you talking about?"

"Look Pais, I was going to tell you later today, but last night I got a ring from your mum, and she will be getting married in four weeks."

"What!?" She practically screamed.

"We'll congratulations. I will contact a hospital there to take them out before the wedding. Where at?"

"Wolverhampton, England."

"Wonderful! I'll visit later to tell you the details." That doctor wanted to get out. Well, I'm in trouble.

(Paisley's P.O.V)

I was speechless. She finally tells me! And through Liam! Well, she did try calling me, and I was getting stabbed at the time, so I don't know. Be mad or not be mad. Hey, I won't be, I love her. But I'm the maid of honor! In four weeks! Wait! Don't I get a plus one? The doctor left, and Liam slowly backed away.

"Get back her!"

He slowly got closer, and gave me the smile meaning to not kill him. "So, Paisley. How's it been?"

"Oh shut it!"

"Look I was just about to tell you today, but-,"

"What did she exactly tell you?"

"Your outfit will be coming in the mail soon, with the two plane tickets." Two means I have a plus one. I smiled.

"Liam, what are you doing in four weeks?"

"I think I might be going to a wedding."

"You're busy!? I really needed somebody to take care of my imaginary goldfish!" He laughed.

"I would love to be there," he said putting his hands on his chest.

"So, since you're coming with me somewhere, you might have to repay me somehow. Maybe a One Direction concert? Or three?"

"I'll see what I can do."

"This is why I love you Liam!"

"You love me because I'm damn sexy!"

"In your dreams!"

"Dreams do come true you know Pais."

"Trust me Liam, you're not even close with this one."

"That really hurts."

"Well, I was told to not lie when I was young."

"What is your dream Paisley?"

"I can't tell you, or else it won't come true."

"Good point." She was about to talk, but Louis came in screaming in, with a box.

(Paisley's P.O.V)

I was about to tell Liam that my dream has him in it, but Louis came running in with box in his hands. "Paisley! You're up! Look! Box! Open! Now!"

"Louis you're acting like you're five years old."

"I'm five and a half Paisley! Come on! I'm not that young!"

"Sorry," we all started laughing, "how can I repay you?"

"By putting on the outfit in that box!"

"You opened it!?"

"Yeah, he couldn't wait any longer," Niall said walking in. I looked at Louis, he made a childish smile. I shook my head, then looked down at the box on my lap. I opened it up and it showed a dress, shoes, earrings, necklace, nail polish, hair piece, two plane tickets, and a wedding invitation.

The dress was a cyan color. It had a sweetheart top, and crossed stitches over the chest, then right before the waist, it would flow out to end at the mid-low thigh area. The shoes were TOMS laced with the dress color in the front, and slowly faded to white in the back. The earrings had just one diamond bow on each. The necklace was silver, with the word love on it in diamonds. The nail polish was the same color as the dress. The hair piece was a flower, the color of the dress as well.

"Can we see it?" Niall asked.

I closed the box quickly, "Louis never showed you?"

"No, he would slap us if we even got close to it," Zayn said walking in, "hey."

"Hi Zayn! Louis?"

"Well, I don't want to tell- No! Everybody out! Paisley and I need to talk in private!" He said pushing everybody out, and closing the door behind him.

"Lou, what's going on?"

"Oh Paisley! I know Liam will be your plus one!"

"So?"

"Men can't see the dress before the wedding!"

"That's only for the bride."

"Well, he can't see you!"

"Why?"

"Because, it won't be as romantic."

"Lou, he is my brother." He gave me a look. "He is Lou!"

"Fine! This is how you are repaying me!"

"What?"

"Nobody gets to see it or hear about it!"

"Deal!" Then everybody came back inside, with a closed box under the bed.
