CONVERSE || A Liam Payne Fanfiction

Chapter 18: Getting to Know Her

***Mia's POV***

Jasmine and I decide to go shopping for dresses while the boys are working. 

"So, I don't really know much about you." I say to her awkwardly as we walk into the store. She smiles.

"But, I know lots about you." she winks. She seems like the nicest person, but I just don't know that much about her, other than she's gorgeous and she's dating Harry. "What do you want to know?"

"I don't know..." I reply smiling.

"Well, Pick something a topic, favorite shoes, favorite shorts, favorite color, favorite food, favorite activity, favorite drink, favorite dresses, favorite store." she smiled.

"Favorite color." I say

"Light blue, now pick another category." she demanded.

"I don't know!" I yelled, now laughing my ass off.

"Just pick another one!" Now she was laughing too.

"I don't know, tell me your life story." I giggle as she takes a hot pink short dress off the rack.

"That wasn't one of the categories." she chuckles.

"Just tell me!" We finally reach an agreement.

"Well, I was born in California, that's why I don't have my accent. But, my mom died while giving birth, so my dad wanted to move. We moved to New York and everything was fine for a while, but then, my dad started doing drugs and drinking and crap like that, so I made a deal that I would move to London when I turned fifteen. He agreed and that's how I got here. We had already set up a flat-mate and all the complications, because we have some family friends here. I got a job at the cafe and I've been working there for a while. Before I met Harry, my daily schedule was waking up, taking a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, go to work, go home, learn French, go to bed. And now, it's like I get to do whatever I want. My manager is cool about everything because, in all honesty, we have more than enough people working at the cafe, and she can always find replacements. I think that Harry has been the best part of my life yet." She rambles on a bit after that. Little pieces of fluff.

"Wow. That makes me sound like such a fake." I mutter out loud. Crap, I thought that was in my head! 

"What?" Jasmine turns around and smiles.

"It's nothing."

"Oh hell no. You're not getting off that easy. Spill it." she playfully punches me in the arm.

"You can't tell anyone, especially not Liam." I say.

"I pinky swear!" Jasmine holds out her pinky, looking childish. I take it in mine and then she bites her thumb. "Bite your thumb." She manages to get out between her teeth. I bit my thumb and then I pull my hand away.

"I have this one poster of One Direction above my bed at my dad's house. Jane put it there and made sure that we would never get it off. Printed on it, it said 'Everyone is beautiful, even if you don't know it.' as Liam's quote. That night, it... um..." I start to mumble.

"Come on! That's the best part!" Jasmine complains loudly, making me smile.

"It saved my life. I was planning to take some pills during the middle of the night, but then, I looked at that poster again, and I lost it. Crying for hours and not getting up the next few days, and I called in sick, just to look at that poster, and ever since then, I've really liked One Direction. I didn't when I went to the concert though, because I thought that they were just these snotty rich kids who could do anything they wanted, and then I met Liam and it all changed. He literally saved my life, and I hadn't even met him yet. That takes a lot of power to save someone with words, considering that you didn't even know the person. I'll remember that night forever." I say. I look up and Jasmines eyes are wide. 

"Holy shit, that would be like the best novel in the world. Two star-crossed lovers, fated to fall in love even before they met." She says in a dramatic voice.

"I like this one." I pull out a white dress and Jasmine gapes at it. 

"Try it on!" Jasmine squeals.

"Okay okay..." I mumble as she pushes me into the dressing room. I walk out and she smiles.

"You're getting that one. Now. Let's go." she says and pushes.

"Okay. Thanks for coming shopping with me." I say as we walk to the cash register.

"Anything for my bestie!"

***Author's Note***

Hey! Sorry for the short chapter! But I thought it would be important to include Jasmine more and it fit right in with my plans so, here it is! 

I did this chapter at fricking 6:30 in the morning over my winter break, so feel loved. Haha no I was waking up to play flappy bird... my high score is 69... Not joking. Kill me. -___-
