Fix A Heart (Liam Payne)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Lacey's POV

We decided to look around our new home. Starting with the floor we were currently on, the girls floor. There were 4 rooms in total all with 2-3 beds inside and then at the end of the hallway was a large bathroom with a long line of mirrors on one wall. I'm guessing it gets hectic with all the girls trying to get ready for school in the morning.

We then went up the stairs to the 3rd floor were the boys stay, finding 4 rooms again with 2 beds in each. Back on the ground floor we discovered a large kitchen/dinner with a round table with up to 20 chairs around the outside. Then a living room, play cupboard, office and laundry room. It was like a big family home, it defiantly didn't feel like a children's home.

Noah arrived back after picking the younger children up from primary school and shortly after the older children started to arrive, coming back from secondary school, that's when the thought hit me, tomorrow I'd be starting a new school. Noah and Zara gathered all the kids in the living room to welcome myself and Talia.

I walked in, my eyes searching over the many new faces, I'm extremely shy so I try to keep my head down. The questions running though my head like 'what if they don't like me?' 'what if I don't fit in?'

But all those questions disappeared when a pair of feet appeared in my eye line. My eyes slowly traveled up the body, then my eyes landed on his face, the first thought that came to mind was 'Wow!' He had short brown hair up in a quiff and chocolate brown eyes that were looking back at me.

"Hi, I'm Liam" he spoke "And you must be..."

"Lacey" was all I managed to say, but it was worth it after seeing the award winning smile he gave me.

"It's nice to meet you Lacey"

"Everyone this is Lacey and Talia, let's make them feel welcome!" Zara happily said while clapping her hands.

I learned all there names pretty easily. The youngest of the boys are Alfie and Kian then Ethan, Niall, Harry, Liam, Zayn and then Louis being the oldest. And from the girls, Darcy was youngest then Faith, Talia, Felicia, Aspen, Elsie, myself, Perrie and then Blair being the oldest. After the introduction we sat around the table eating some homemade pasta bake.

"So what classes have you signed up for?" Harry asked after putting a fork full of food into his mouth.

"Art, History and sociology" I told him trying to think back to the day I looked around the school and signed up for my lessons.

"And Lacey's taking Advanced English, you lot could learn a thing or two from her" Zara stated seeming proud of me.

"Yeah because she's the model student" one of the older girls, Blair I think, mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Hey, I take Advanced English" said a boy across the table from me, he had olive skin and black hair also up in a quiff, I noticed him glaring at Blair before smiling at me, I remember his name being Zayn.

"What novel is your favourite?" I asked seeming curious.

"Of Mice And Men" he replied. "Yours?"

"Pride and Prejudice" I reply remembering all the times I've read that book.

"Nice, I've read that about 5 times" he laughed before taking a sip of his coke.

At least I now have someone to chat about books with.

"So, where are you two from?" Asked Elsie.

"Lincolnshire" I simply answered, not really wanting to think about we're I came from.

"Isn't that like 2 hours from here?" Asked a purple haired girl, Perrie. I just nodded.

After we were finished eating, I offered to help clean up. I was left alone with Zara in the kitchen.

"How are you enjoying everything so far?" She asked while handing me a clean plate to put in the cupboard.

"Yeah, it's different, it will take a while to get used to"

She nodded "Yeah, it always seems different, ya know new place, new people"

"How long have you had this children's home?"

"About 7 years, we opened this place because we love children, and we wanted to help different kids" I nodded.

"Do you have any kids?"

"Yeah, Wendy, she works here, she's training to be a child psychologist, you'll meet her in the next couple of days"

"Is it all right if I head up to bed? I'm exhausted" I asked after finishing with the dishes.

"Yeah, good idea. I'll put your uniform in your room ready for your first day" I smile a thanks before going upstairs and into my room. Elsie was sat at her desk doing some homework. I took my things from my draw and headed for the bathrooms.

Once inside I pulled my hair into a messy bun before leaning over the sink to wash my face. I brushed my teeth and changed before heading back to my room.

Whilst walking back I watched my feet moving on the ground beneath myself. Letting my brain wander off. That's when I bumped into something, more like someone. I lifted my head and my eyes immediately found those great brown ones.

"Hey, Lacey right?" He asked with a smirk, but I had a feeling he remembered from before.

"Yeah, Liam right?" I mirrored his smirk while his turned more into a grin.

"Right. You head in' to bed?" His eyes travelled down my body. The PJs I had put on were simple. A deep red varsity top with the number 23 on the front and black shorts. I started to feel self conscious under his gaze, awkwardly shuffling my feet. He noticed, quickly returning his eyes back to my face.

"Yeah" I mumbled an answer. "It's been a... long day"

"I won't get in your way then. Have a nice sleep and I shall see you in the morning" the large grin returned to his lips but this time he added a small salute. I gave a small node trying to hide my smile at his actions, as I proceeded to my room.

I stepped in, Elsie had now moved to her bed. She sat painting her toe nails while reading about Taylor Lautner in a Vogue magazine.

"You going to bed?"

"Yeah, I feel as if I could fall asleep on my feet" I may have exaggerated a slight bit. She just smirks.

"Okay I'll be as quiet as possible" I smiled before getting into bed.

"Thanks, night"

"Night"

Shortly after closing my eyes I fell into a dreamless sleep.
