Vamped (A Liam Payne Fan Fiction)

Chapter Two: The First Time I Saw Him

I ran my hand through my silky hair which was blowing in the cool breeze absent mindedly as I paced back up into the direction of my house. As I did so I passed five interesting boys. They looked around my age, maybe a little bit older and they all looked really good looking, even from the distance I was standing from. They were all shouting and mucking around, wrestling and stuff like that. There was no one else on the beach apart from me and them and I hadnt seen them around a lot and I thought that it was quite odd. Any thoughts slipped out of my mind when they passed me though. There was a cute, dark curly haired boy with a cheeky smile and dimples. A brown haired boy with gorgeous green eyes who looked like he used LOADS of hairspray. A bleached blonde lad who had irish green-blue eyes and was really attractive and a dark haired boy with really long eyelashes and I could just about see a tatoo starting off the word ZAP! On his arm. I've only said four boys though and thats because the other one absoloutley took my breath away and I honestly dont know why but there was just something about him. He was walking with his hands in his pockets and staring at the ground but then he looked up and caughy my eye and I felt a sudden warm rush go through my body. I didnt know that could happen to my kind either. He had slightly tanned skin, brown hair and beautiful brown eyes that stared deep into mine, as if he could read my story. Well, people do say that the eyes are the gateway to the soul, dont they?

I gazed at him back and when all the interesting boys with the contagious laughter carried on walking I looked behind myself to find him still staring with those incredibly cute browb eyes. Was it because he possibly liked me? Or was it because I looked a bit weird? To be quite honest though, I hadnt turned out looking that much like the dead. My eyes were more brighter than before, my skin a little paler although if I really stayed out in the sun for a long time then I could achieve a little bit of a tan, my hair didnt make much difference except that it was really soft and silky and would always stay the same colour unless I dyed it and my body was just normal too. Maybe it was because I was wearing shorts in that type of weather, I dont know.

"What ya' staring at Liam?" One with a singy voice sounded out.

So his name was Liam. I remembered meeting a young man called Liam in the past, not this one obviously. Liam broke his locked gaze with me and as he did so, each boy turned to look at me as if they had finally noticed me. They all wolf whistled, cheered and clapped Liam on the back.

"Liam likes someone!" They all laughed.

He laughed too and they carried on.going down the beach and started throwing each other around and fighting near the deep blue sea. I tried to contain my smile but I couldnt. They were just so young and care free, I suppose a little bit how I looked to them. They all had whole, joy filled lives ahead of them and for that, they should of been grateful.

I carried on pacing back up to where I lived, my feet making squelchy sounds in the damp sand. I really wanted to get in and watch the television or put on some loud music or something so that I could take my mind off it and into another place. The annoying thing with me though was that once I started thinking about something like this then I couldnt stop. I wondered whether those boys and gorgeous Liam were just here to stay for the day or if they were renting a place or moving here or something like that.

I decided to ring up trustworthy Izzy, one of my best friends at school and also one of the people who I will have to leave unexpectedly without warning all too soon.

"Hey!" she picked up the phone after one ring. "Can I come round? I have something amazing to tell you!

"Yeah sure I was actually going to ask-" I was cut off quickly mid sentence.

"Great! See you in, like, fifteen minutes!" she enthused.

Okay so that gave me enough time to change into some jeans and a hot pink off the shoulder top which I had recently bought from the new HnM in town. I then ran a brush through my long loose waves even though it didnt need doing that bad and sat down on the sofa waiting for her to burst in with her amazing news.

She jumped in and slammed the door behind her, making a massive explosive bang as if a bomb had just gone off.

She looked behind her and giggled for a moment but then took her denim jacket off and let all her smooth dark blonde hair fall past her shoulders perfectly.

"You will never believe this!" she squealed, jumping up and down in excitement.

"What did Jared finally ask you out?" I asked her. She really fancied this popular boy in school called Jared and everytime he so much as looked at her she would practically spasm over the fact that he knew she existed.

She frowned as if that didnt even matter. This MUST of been something amazing then if it wasnt to do with the almighty Jared! He was usually right at the top of her list and higher with most things for Izzy! "No," she said simply.

"What then?" I enquired.

She looked at the ground. "Oh it's just that........" she looked up. "ONE DIRECTION ARE HERE!" She screamed, dancing around the room.

"Who?" It was my turn to frown.

"Oh for gods sake, Paige! My favourite boy band of all time! The ones that sing all those amazing songs that you love!" She screeched.

This was an even worser reaction than she would usually have to Jared. I frowned again, making my perfectly plucked eyebrows pull together.

"One second." She told me, running out of the room and into my study where I kept all my books, CDs, paperwork and stuff like that.

She came running back out with a disc I hadnt played for months by the look of it and put it into my smart stereo. A familiar tune came on and a recognisable singing voice after the instrumental part.

'YEAH, WE'LL BE DOING WHAT WE DO, JUST PRETENDING THAT WE'RE COOL AND WE KNOW IT TOO. (REPEAT UP TO COOL) SO TONIGHT, LETS GO CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY TILL WE SEE THE SUN....'

Lots of other songs that I knew off heart came rolling on after: Kiss You, Little Things, Over Again, Heart Attack, I Would, Last First Kiss, Summer Love and various other songs by the band she was on about. How could I forget? I'd never really seen them but I used to love listening to their songs.

"Oh." Was all I could manage.

"What do you mean 'oh'?!" She complained. "I'm finally going to get the chance to meet my Nialler!" She grinned. "Here's a picture of them if you've forgotten THAT too." She pulled out a small colourful poster which was the size of a normal photograph and I couldnt believe my eyes. There on the photograph was the exact boys I had seen about half an hour before all smiling at me. And Liam was on there too. I studied his face and my heart started beating faster.

"I saw them this morning!" I laughed at her.

"Oh. My. God! Really?! You have got to tell me ALL about it!" She screamed, jumping up and down.

So I did. I told her ALL about it, every single bit. I also told her about Liam and how I felt that there was a connection of some sort between us and she agreed with me all the way, nodding her pretty head, her dark brown eyes with her long eye lashes transfixed all the time I was talking about them. It turns out that Liam's last name is Payne and he is from Wolverhampton and has a phobia of spoons. Izzy had been filling me in on all the facts. She told me that he bravely auditioned for the X Factor when he was fourteen in 2008 but and he got through to the judges houses but got told to come back in two years when he would be sixteen by Simon Cowell so that he could do his exams. All of the members of One Direction (Harry, Louis, Niall, Zayn and Liam) auditioned in the same year and it then got decided that they should be put into a group. And they've come exceptionally far since then. But what were they doing here? Well Izzy was VERY eager on finding out.

"Come with me!" She urged."We're going on a 1D hunt!"
