Still The One (Liam Payne FanFiction)

Chapter 1

~ Mel's POV ~

Today is my first day at primary here in this new town. We had to move from Mullingar because daddy had to work here. I am so excited. Now I can make a lot of friends. Play with them. Maybe this year I can have the big birthday party that I always wanted and have my mummy and daddy to buy me a lot of presents. I giggled at this thought. Yay! Lot of presents! I love it!

'' Mummy! Mummy! '' I ran downstairs and found my mum making me breakfast. It was pancakes. My favourite!

'' Hey there sleepy head! Are you ready for your first day? ''

'' Yes! I'm so excited mummy! I'm going to make a lot of friends. ''

'' Of course my dear, but now eat your breakfast. I made your favourite ''

'' Thanks mummy ''

                                                    ☆ ☆ ☆

'' Bye mummy! ''

'' Bye honey! Have a good day! '' I smiled. I gave my mum a kiss on her cheek and went to play with the other kids.

'' Hi! '' I said to a girl that was playing with lego's. She was just like me but she had blue eyes. I want to be her friend. She seems really sweet.

'' Hey '' she simply said.

'' What are you doing? Can we play together? ''

'' Sure. I'm just building a house for my doll and her friends. ''

'' Really? That's so cool. What's her name? '' I was right. She was sweet. My first friend in here. Maybe I could talk to mummy and ask her if she can come to our house to play with me.

But when she was about to answer me, a boy who seems to be older than us came. Great. Another friend to play. Yay!

'' Hey Lizzie! Don't talk to her. She doesn't belong here. ''

Wait. What? What did I do? Not again please.

'' What? Why? '' I timidly asked. I don't understand. Tears starting to stream down my face.

'' Because. You're a doofus. A retarded fat crying baby. Ugh. ''

At this point I felt like nothing. I looked at the girl, who I was talking before, apparently named Lizzie. She just looked at me like she knew that they were being mean, but she couldn't do anything.

I ran way from there. I went to the bathroom, sat on the floor , brought my legs to my chest and cried. Cried like never before.

'' Why is this happening again? '' I mumbled to myself.

Everyone hates me. Why? Why can't I have friends? I thought that moving here it would be different. But no. It was all happening again. At least I had a friend in Mullingar. Chloe. We were really close. She was my only friend because nobody liked me. Like here. I get it. I don't have anything special. I'm not pretty and not even skinny. I hate myself. And look at me. They were right I'm just a crying baby who doesn't belong here. Why can't I just be like the other girls? Why can't I be happy? 

Mummy please. Just come and pick me up quickly.

                                                                       ☆ ☆ ☆

'' Hey sweetie! How was your day? ''

'' Really bad mummy. They don't like me. They told me that... '' I continued and told my mummy the rest of this horrible story. And then I started to cry again. '' They really hate me. ''

'' Ohh sweetie don't cry. Tomorrow it will be better and you'll make a lot of friends. ''

'' I hope so. '' I hugged my mummy really tight. Being friends with your mummy it's better right. At least I knew that she would be there for anything that I needed. And that she loved me. Who needs other friends? All I need is my mummy. Oh shut up Mel, you're being ridiculous.

'' So what about... ice cream? ''

'' Yess! '' Maybe tomorrow it will be better.

                                                                       ☆ ☆ ☆

It's been a week since I joined that school. Everyone really hates me. I don't have any friends. I keep spending the whole day playing alone and when I get home I cry. My mummy started to work so she doesn't have time to me. Now I'm just always in my bedroom crying, and at night crying myself to sleep, hugging really tight my Boo-bear, knowing that tomorrow will be the same or worst. He was my teddy bear. And right now the only one who I could trust. 

Today I decided that I would go out of my bedroom and play in the garden.

I was just staring at the sky. It was beautiful today. I saw two birds playing with each-other. Laughing together. They were really friends. Then it just hit me. I don't have any friends. My life is horrible. I'm always alone. I just want someone to be friends with. To play with. To laugh with. Tears streamed down my face again. This is me, always crying. Me being alone and pathetic. Suddenly I heard a sound. It must be those stupid two birds just hanging out. I wish I...

'' Hey '' an unfamiliar voice came.

~ Liam's POV ~

'' Mummy I'm going to play in the garden! ''

'' Alright baby but be careful and don't take too long. Dinner will be ready in a minute. ''

The sky is beautiful today. I'm just watching two birds having a conversation on the tree. They seem to be happy. But then I heard a sob. Someone was crying from the house next to mine. I open the little old door and saw a little girl crying. Why was she crying? I'm going to help her...

'' Hey '' I timidly said.

'' Leave me alone '' she started to sob again.

'' Are you alright? Why are you crying? '' I asked. I am so worried about her. What if something bad happen? Maybe she broke her favourite doll, or... Liam, be a man. Just sit next to her and help her.

She didn't answer so I sat down beside her. After a little while of staying in completely silence, she stopped crying.

'' Who are you anyways? ''

'' Hi, I'm Liam. I'm your neighbour. What's your name? '' I gave her a warm smile. She was so beautiful. Even more beautiful than Woody's girlfriend, Betty. How can that even be possible?

'' Mel. '' she half-smiled. Mel. I liked her name. It was cute.

'' So why were you crying? '' I asked carefully. I don't want her to cry again. '' Is your doll broken? '' ugh Liam, what a stupid question.

'' My doll? What? No. '' she was confused by my question. You're so stupid Liam...

'' It's just...''

'' It's alright Mel. You can trust me. ''

~ Mel's POV ~ 

Maybe I should tell him. He seems a good boy. And he's cute. I'm sure my Boo-bear would like him. I giggle at this thought and quickly cover my mouth. I hope Liam didn't notice it.

'' Everyone hates me. They are always calling me names and.... '' I told him everything. What they do to me. How I feel. And when I was about to cry, he hugged me and kissed my forehead. '' You know Liam. I just want a friend. A real one. ''

'' Shh don't cry Mel. I'm here. I'll be your friend. '' He said and kissed my forehead again. I felt safe with him holding me. '' I will protect you '' He added and smiled.

For the first time in a week, I smiled back.
