"Liam! What are you doing? I can't see." I giggled as he cupped his hands over my eyes and guided me to where ever he was taking me.

"I'm taking you somewhere special..." Liam mumbled swiveling my shoulders between, what I believed to be, branches.

Today was Liam and I's four year friendship anniversary. We met so long ago... Way back on the very first day of high school. Freshman year was the best year of my life, because that was when I met Liam.

He was the biggest dork I had ever seen. He had a 'bowl' haircut and a too tight tee. He wasn't the most attractive guy at school... Maybe to other girls. But to me, he was perfect.

But high school did get worse for me... but not for Liam. For him it only got better. He became a lot more popular. He grew his hair into an adorably cute curly mop. He worked out. He grew to be toned. He also grew to fall in love with the most popular girl in high school... Danielle Peazer.

That's when high school went down hill, because of Danielle. She liked Liam too... And she got Liam... All to herself. Literally, all to herself. She wouldn't let him talk to me... Well at school anyways. He would sneak over to my house after school, if Danielle didn't have plans for him. Which somehow, someway, she always did.

But eventually they broke up and I got him back to myself. I probably shouldn't have forgiven so easily... But I had too... He's Liam... I always forgave him... Because he was my best friend and I loved him.

"Happy four year friendship anniversary, Izzy." He removed his large hands away revealing a giant treehouse... The one I've talked about wanting since Junior year. I always said I wanted a place to runaway to when the going gets tough. When Danielle and her stupid friends made fun of me. When my parents fought... And now I had one...because Liam built it for me.

I turned around and wrapped him in my embrace very tightly. "Liam, I can't believe you built this for me."

He pulled away blushing. "Well, I know you've wanted one forever. And I've been working on it since then... sorry it took so long."

"It's perfect." I kissed his cheek and took off running up the ladder. I pulled myself into the small wooden room... And it was exactly how'd I'd always pictured it. Pictures of Liam and I from over the years hung amongst the walls. A large blue rug covered the wooden floor. There was a large window on the front that overlooked the forest. I could see Liam still standing down there through the window. He had his arms crossed and he had the biggest smile across his face. He was proud of his work, I believed. And so was I.

I cranked open the window and shouted down, "Liam! Come up here with me!"

He quickly climbed up the ladder and sat in the middle of the rug. I went and sat across from him. "You like it?" I nodded. "I made it so we'd have our own little place that no one else knew about."

"All I got you was this dumb necklace." I said pulling it off my neck. I had it tucked in my shirt and he hadn't noticed. I placed it in his palm, and he read the engravings out loud.

"Liam, Thank you for the priceless memories and friendship. I love you... Izzy." He put it around his neck and pulled me into a hug. "It's not dumb. It's perfect."

I nodded and met his eyes. His deep brown eyes poured into my baby blue ones. I really did love Liam.. But not as a friend. As a crush. A boyfriend. As someone who meant so much to me, I couldn't just show them appreciation through hugging anymore. "Liam," I mumbled and he smiled. I frowned and then smashed my lips onto his. I felt electricity dance between my lips and his. This was everything I had wanted, all through high school.. I just wanted to kiss Liam. And his kiss was perfect. It was gentle and moist. Hot and heavy. But the best part... Was that he was kissing me back.

I pulled away and felt my cheeks burn. "I'm so sor-" He cut me off by slamming his lips back onto mine. Pushing me back on the rug and crawling on top of me... Never once removing his lips from mine.

My brave little peck turned into a heated make out session. The best session I had ever attendant. I loved the way his mouth felt against mine. As if it were made to fit there... I loved the way he caressed my body as we continued on kissing. How he roamed but not to far. How his hands moved up and down my sides in a comforting motion. I felt happy and safe and lucky. But mostly, I felt like my puzzle had been completed. Like I had found what I had been searching for. And I couldn't let that go.

He pulled away and rested his forehead against mine. "Izzy Mae..." He whispered and smiled. "I love you... So much..."

I curved my lips. " I love you too..." And he kissed me again... One small peck on my lips. It was soft and subtle. But it had meaning. It symbolized our love and what our friendship had blossomed into. It represented how much we cared for one another. It showed that Liam Payne and I were, without a doubt, in love... And that that would never change.
