Little Miss Payne (On Hiatus)

Chapter 1

This school day is going so incredibly slow. Thank goodness this is my last class of the day. And even better news? It’s a Friday! No school tomorrow! Usually Fridays go fast for me but that doesn’t seem to be the case today. I actually kind of like school. A lot of people my age say they hate it but I don’t. Now don’t get me wrong, it does get challenging but I’m trying my best to graduate high school so I can go off to university.

“Earth to Ashleigh. Are you alive?” my friend Aubrey whisper-shouted while poking my arm repeatedly.

“Huh? What Aubrey? That hurt you know.” I stated while rubbing my arm. She laughed quietly while looking up at the teacher before looking back at me.

“So what are your plans for the weekend?” She questioned while looking at me. This question got to me. I’m not sure what I’m doing actually. Tomorrow marks the 2 year mark that my brother left. Now I know what you’re thinking. He moved out for college or he joined the military or he just left to leave. And that’s not the case. My brother is part of the world famous band that everyone is in love with. That’s right. I’m the little sister of Liam Payne. I was brought from my thoughts when Aubrey threw an eraser at me, hitting my temple.

“What’s up with you abusing me!?” I laughed at Aubrey when she shrugged her shoulders and laughed. “But anyway. I don’t know what I’m doing this weekend. Tomorrow marks the 2 year mark that Liam left.” Pretty much everyone in my school knew I was related to THE Liam Payne of One Direction but they didn’t really treat me any different. I liked that. I didn’t really pay attention to what the media had to say about it because Liam promised me that pretty much all of what the media says is false.

“Oh. I’m sorry. I know you miss him. I wish we could hang out but I have to go shopping for my little sister’s birthday.” That’s right. Cameron is 8 now. Jeez she’s getting so big. I remember when she was just born. See me and Aubrey have been friends for life, literally. Our moms we’re friends in high school and since they both had me and Aubrey around the same time, we’ve been practically inseparable since birth.

“Well tell her I say Happy Birthday and I’ll stop by soon to see her.” Once that final word left my mouth, the bell signaling it was the end of the day rang. “Well, I’ll talk to you on Monday. I’ll text you if anything interesting happens over the weekend.” She nodded as we picked up our stuff and went our separate ways out of the building.

Since I can finally drive, I walked out to the student parking lot and found my car. As I got in the car and put the key in the ignition, the radio turned on. I forgot I had it on this morning and if you leave it on when you shut the car off, it automatically comes back on. On the radio, I heard a familiar voice. It was Liam. And his bandmates. Now don’t get me wrong, I think his bandmates are incredibly attractive, but see, here’s the problem. Liam is extremely protective of me and I’m about 99.9% certain he wouldn’t approve of me dating one of his bandmates.

After a while of thinking, and listening to Liam and the others on the radio, I realized I was already home, sitting in my driveway. I got out of the car and walked up to the front door. I didn’t plan on doing anything tonight so I just went up to my room to get started on my homework. To my benefit, I ended up falling asleep while doing homework and was woken up by someone knocking on my door. I rubbed my face and went to open it. It was my mom.

“Honey, dinner’s ready. We’re having chicken and rice.” A smile immediately crept onto my face as this was my favorite meal. I nodded and followed her down the stairs to a table with 3 plates. My dad, my mom, and me. I looked at the spot where the fourth plate should be and fought back tears. Why can’t Liam come back? Just for one day at least? He’s visited a bunch of times but I just miss him so much. I miss Danielle too. She’s such a wonderful person and she’s so nice and pretty. Whenever Liam would visit, he’d always tell me about how much he loves her and cares about her. It makes me so happy knowing my brother is happy.

After clearing my plate, I went upstairs and decided to go to bed early. I tossed and turned all night before finally letting sleep overtake me.
