Twenty-two letters to Liam

Letter one

So, i read the original Dutch version of this story a while back, and i decided to translate it because it's a really unique story. Luckily the writer gave me permission so here we are.

@Tomlinapping wrote this story and all the credit goes to her. Enjoy, and let us know what you think.

Self-harming/self-injury is not a joke and must be taken serious! If you need someone to talk to, we are always here for you!

Dear Liam

I know you won't read this and I don't know why I'm writing this, but I need someone to talk to.

But first, let me tell you something. I love you Liam. I love your smile, your eyes, your cute face, your hair that changes every year, your dimples, the way you raise your eyebrows when you smile, speaking of your eyebrows, I love your eyebrows as well.

But most of all, I love your laugh. That might sound cliche, but it means the whole world to me. It makes me happy.

I love how you always want the best for everyone. You don't want to hurt people. You're basically an angel, hahaha.

Do you get letters like this everyday? And do you ever get any hate mail? I wonder why people would send you hate.

Why would someone want to hurt you on purpose? Do you get that Liam? What goes through someones mind when they think: 'Let's send hate to this person'. It doesn't make any sense.

I heard you and Danielle broke up. Right now, i wish I could teleport myself to wherever you are, hug you and tell you it's gonna be alright. Everything is gonna be alright. You've got your fans, your family, the boys.

Sorry, i'm probably not helping. The only thing you probably want is Danielle.

The whole fandom is crying with you. We love Danielle. She was here from the very beginning and we can't believe she isn't here anymore. She'll always be a part of this family, because what's this family without Danielle, Eleanor and Perrie? Nothing.

A real Directioner loves all of you (not 4, or 3, all 5 of you) just the way you are. And that includes all your friends, family and girlfriends.

You know what, Danielle was a idol to us. She was a rolemodel for most of us, including me. You probably can't imagine how sorry i am. Only thinking about how much this must hurt you. Could you please just tell me it's a rumor. It's not true right?

Oh, who am i kidding.

I hope you're okay Liam. Get over it really soon! Life is so short, and alone is just alone.

I also heard Eleanor is pregnant, Niall is married, Harry is arrested and Zayn is quitting the band. That's not true right? I mean, i knew it wasn't true, but now i'm starting to doubt it.

Anyway, i really should get going. I have to study for tomorrow. School and stuff, the usual.

Don't be sad Liam. Smile that beautiful smile for me!

Maybe i'll write you another time, i'm not sure yet. We'll see.

Love,

Maddy

Liam POV

Frowning i looked at the perfectly, with ballpoint written letter. Why did this letter intrigue me so much? Because there were secrets behind it? Because i felt the urge to continue reading? And why did i have that urge. What was wrong with me? The past few weeks, I've been reading a lot of fan mail. I'm not sure why exactly. I think i needed something to do. I needed something to get me through the day i guess.

Of course i used to read fanmail before, but not as much as did now. It felt like my eyes hurt, due to all the reading i did. This letter got me to think though. Madison sounds like she was one of those really dedicated fans. She felt what we felt. She wanted to take our pain away. She was one of those fans who cared about us, and loved us, not because of our looks, but because we were idiots. I knew she wasn't the only fan who was like this, but there was something special about this letter. I read it for the third time. It came this morning with all the other fanmail and i already was waiting for the next one. It felt like i was reading a book, but I wasn't able to read the next chapter, because i had to wait until i had time.

Carefully i put the letter back in the envelope and turned off the light. Before i went to bed i went to the toilet and after that i crawled under my warm blankets, thinking about her next letter. If she would write a next letter of course .
