CONVERSE || A Liam Payne Fanfiction

Chapter 6: The New One

~~~Mia's POV~~~

I stayed with Liam last night. I felt safe when I'm with him, but it's not like that's a bad thing. Liam is probably the closest friend I have right now. He wasn't super funny, or the best at everything, but he was just... there.

"Hey. Mia, I'm really sorry about what happened last night." Harry said embracing me in a hug.

"That's totally not cool." Niall responded looking up from the fridge.

"If he ever hurts you again, come find me. I'll kick his ass." Zayn said.

"If you ever need anyone to talk to then you can come and talk to me. I'm all ears." Louis stated.

"Look, guys I know you're just trying to make me feel better, but I don't need to be smothered. I'm old enough to take care of myself." I said, as I walked onto the patio, then dipping my feet into the pool. I felt so used and abandoned as if I were just old clothing that was being thrown away or given to a thrift shop.

"Hey." said a familiar voice behind me. I looked up at Liam, his dark brown eyes gleaming down at me.

"Hey..." I said staring back to the pool. He sat down next to me, also dipping his feet into the cool water.

"Where are your converse?" he asked trying to make conversation.

"They're upstairs. Why?" I asked curiously looking up at him.

"They look good on you." he smiled back innocently. We were just friends, but I have to say, I'd be lucky to date him. He's a great guy and he knows how to make someone feel like they're worth something.

"Thanks." I said

"I was joking." he stuck his tongue out. 

"Shut up, doofus." I punched him playfully as he began to laugh.

"Oh, you wanna go?" He continued laughing as he tickled my stomach. I began to laugh uncontrollably, and then stood up. We ran around the pool a few times when I caught up to him and pushed him in. 

"I can't swim!" He said flailing his arms around. I leaned over to help him out when he pulled me in. "Gotcha!" he yells. I splashed into the pool and I could feel the cool water rush against my face.

"I can't swim." I yelled trying to get to the top of the water. He dove down below the surface and picked me up. He then took me to where I can stand with my head above the water. "Gotcha!" I giggle.

"That's not funny!" He jokes as he picks me up again and throws me back into the deep end. I get onto a purple floaty chair. I can see him act like a shark underwater and then he tips over the floaty chair so I splash into the water. I dive down to his level. We stare at each other for a while when he grabs my waist and he brings us up to the surface again. Liam, turning flirty tries to kiss my cheek, right when I turn my head. My lips match up with his and I feel my face getting redder and redder as I pull away. He turns away, as well, looking embarrassed.

"Sorry." I say embarrassed as his grip around me loosens and then vanishes all together.

"No it was my fault." He said hopping out of the pool. 

"Cute." A familiar voice states as a flash comes on.

"Jane!" I yell, seeing that she has a camera in her hand with Niall and Louis by her side. I run inside feeling the most embarrassed I've ever felt. I just kissed Liam. What am I doing? He has a girlfriend! I don't even like him! Get it together, Mia! I looked back to see Liam glaring at Louis. I walked up the stairs, and into Liam's room. I got changed into a light blue and green sundress. When I walk out of his room, he's waiting there soaking.

"S-sorry..." I say walking with my head down towards the stairs. I walk into the kitchen to find Harry showing a girl around. She was so pretty. She had tan skin and had lightish brown hair. She was tall and thin and was wearing a red sundress with light pink lace around the hem. 

"Hey! So Jasmine, this is Mia, Mia, this is Jasmine." She smiled brightly.

"Hi! I love your dress! It fits you perfectly!" She beams. I smile.

"Hi! I love your dress too! Can I just steal Harry for a second? He'll be right back." I say grabbing him by the arm.

'What?" He asks.

"Umm... I don't know how to say this... but I kinda kissed Liam." I say nervously.

"That's great!"

"It wasn't on purpose! He has a girlfriend!"

"Who?" 

"Liam."

"No, I mean, his girlfriend?"

"Oh... Danielle?" I say.

"They just broke up!"

"What?" I ask in disbelief.

"Yeah... Last night Danielle had told Liam the truth and that she was cheating on him." 

"Oh my god! I feel so stupid now! Shit! Okay. By the way... where did you get Jasmine? She's so pretty!"

"Thanks." Harry makes a face that looks kind of like he's angry, but not upset- just disappointed and weirded out. "I met her at that cafe downtown. She's so cool! She's really funny... And I know it's crazy, but I really like her and I don't want to mess this up. So don't say anything bad about me." He says. 

"Okay, well get back in there." I push him into the kitchen again.

I walk out to the patio again and set up the table out there. It's nice enough to eat outside.

**** ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER****

Zayn was finishing up dinner, so I decided to go get Liam out of his room.

"Liam.." I knock on the door.

"Come in..." He replies. I walk in and he's on the computer doing something.

"What are you doing?" I ask walking half way into the dark room.

"Oh, I'm on twitcam. You're being seen by half the world right now!" He smiles. I sit down next to him.

"So, world, this is Mia. She's a great friend of mine!" he says to the computer. I wave shyly. "Say something." He nudges my arm.

"Hi world. You're awesome." I say.

"Well, guys that's all for tonight, but I will probably be on tomorrow as well! See you later!" he says. He almost turns it off, but I cut in.

"Stay beautiful!" I say smiling.

We walk downstairs and begin our dinner. 

After dinner, I finish showing Jasmine around and then Harry walked her home.

I go to bed, glad that I met these boys and glad that I met Jasmine, and I'm glad that I have my Converse and I know it sounds crazy, but I'm glad that I got a concussion, because without it, I wouldn't have met the first friends I have ever had.
