A few bumps in the road (Liam payne fanfic)

Attack of the fans

Riley POV:

"Ok I'll go pay for it then we'll go shopping for some clothes !!" I just nodded in agreement, since most of my clothes that I brought had holes in them and burnt marks from some of the kids at the foster home, yes they would take my clothes and set it on fire, my roommate would go through my closet when I wasn't around and give it to her friends...I haven't told Liam and his band mates about it and I probably never will. I've been in that foster home for basically my hole life And everyone in their hates me, well all except for my best friend, Dylan, he was the other out cast kid at the foster home and Dylan's the only one I can truly trust, Dill's a year older than me, he has drity blond hair and piercing blue eyes, he's also pretty tall and kinda muscular. I never really understood why they picked on him, he's probably the most attractive guy in here, anyways the older kids were the worst, they'd call me and Dylan names, say I'm fugly, say that the reason why, no one wanted me was because I was a screw up, useless, worthless and a mistake, they've even beaten me a few times, the last time was probably about a week ago and the bruises are still very visible. They would never touch Dylan though, I was more easier to throw around then he was but Whenever they'd beat me, Dylan knows to not get involved. if he did, he'd get beaten to, probably a lot worse then what I was about to get because it's happened before. now when the older kids are done with me for the day, Dylan comes in and helps me clean up. that's why I can't and don't trust anyone anymore other than Dylan.

"So Riley where do you wanna go first?" Harry asked snapping me out of my horrible memories of the past, "umm American Eagle?" We were in the Windsor mall (Devonshire mall), it wasn't very big but it had the stores I liked so it was all good. When we got in the store, Louis, Harry, Zayn and Niall went looking in the guy section while Liam stayed with me "hey Ri, what do you think of these?" Liam said while holding up a pair of light colored jeans, I just shrugged "you know, you don't haft to be afraid to tell me or the lads if you don't like something, you won't hurt our feelings if you say no" Liam said with a smirk on him face "I-I know" I say looking at the ground giving him a small shrug "well what colour of jeans do you prefer then?" "I-I like n-avy skinny Jeans....." Liam smiled at me "alright I'll go look over here" then he left.

By the time we were done I had about 6 bags full of jeans, shorts, shirts, sweaters, shoes, body sprays etc

"Idk about you guys but I'm pretty damn hungry" Louis said with everyone nodding or saying yea. we walked to the food court and found two free tables "alright where's everyone going?" Zayn said , everyone was talking at once while I was just sitting there not saying a word, "ok what about we split up because if we all got at once someone's going to take our tables so what about me, Liam and Riley stay here while you Harry, Zayn and Louis go now" "sounds like a good plan to me" then the three boys got up and left. I was off into my own little world just thinking, when Niall spoke up "so what do you recommend Ri?....Riley?" "Huh what oh I umm..I'd ahh recommend the Chinese food th-they give you a lot of food, but I can never finish" "well why don't we share then?"Liam said "Oh-okay" I say in a shy tone. all of the sudden I heard screaming like a girls screaming, a lot of girls screaming,I was so confused, those girls are going to get in trouble if they don't shut up. next thing you know Zayn's hair is no longer on his head and all three guys are running towards us with screaming girls running after them. "Shit we gotta go!" Liam and Niall started getting up in such a hurry and I just kinda froze I didn't know what was going on and next thing I know I'm no longer touching the floor, Liam's carrying me to i don't even know where, I think they ran into boathouse but honestly I couldn't see straight, everything was happening so fast, it all just seemed like a blur. Me and Liam hid in a changing room, and the rest of the guys were...somewhere.

Liam's POV:

Riley was just telling me and Niall what place she recommended for food when I heard a high pitch scream, actually multiple high pitched screams, oh no, this can't be good, I look up to try and find the lads. When I spot them I see Zayn with his fake hair in his hands and all of them running, no sprinting towards us, with girls hot on their tail. "Shit we gotta go!" Me and Niall got up about to sprint too, when I realize Ri isn't getting up. I pick her up and all of us ran into boathouse, Me and the lads all ran for the changing rooms, me and Ri in one, Zayn and Harry in one and Louis and Niall in the last one. I look over at Riley to see her holding her knees tight with a terrified look on her face. I frown, that's the last thing I want to see. I love the fans and all I mean their the ones who got us this far with our career and I'm so grateful for that but their everywhere, we can't go anywhere without a mob of people following us and I know, I know, we're famous I get that, we can't do much about it and it's expected an all but even a disguise can't help us get a little free time with family or friends without someone asking for a picture or asking us questions. I reach over and pull her closer to me so that I was hugging her, I want her to know that her big brother will protect her no matter what and will be their for her even though before I wasn't, I want her to know that I'm here for her now. She buried her head into my shoulder and hugged me back, it shocked me at first but then smiled down at her, she was so cute. I'm so happy I found her I would still be bummed and In my room if it wasn't for her! "They went in here!!" Some girl screamed. oh no I forgot to tell a worker not to tell them we were in here!!!!!!! Shit shit shit shit! Please don't rat us out!! "hey have you seen five guys? they just ran in here?!" "Actually yea," a guy answered. shit he's going to blow our cover!! "Their over by the t-shirts" well better get this over...wait..we're not by the t-shirt, we're in the changing rooms...."that's not them!! Argg let's go girls, their not in here...," There was a mixture of angry and sadness in her voice and a lot of 'awwwwww's followed by after. Not long after, a guy opened up our curtains to the changing rooms, probably the guy who told all those girls we weren't in here "their gone, you guys don't haft to hide anymore" we all got up "thanks mate!! Is their anything we can do to repay you?" Niall asked "yea actually could you guys sign a piece of paper for my little sister? she loves you guys sometimes more than me" he said with a small chuckle "sure" we all signed it and each left a little message for her. We left the mall and headed back to the bus. it was getting a little dark and we were all still hungry. We ended up just at McDonalds drive thru, heading to the hotel after we got our food.

Niall's POV:

We're pulling into the hotels parking lot and it's almost midnight, we're all super tired, Riley fell asleep, I mean I don't blame her, she went through a lot today. I'm so happy Liam's not sad anymore, it killed me and the lads to see him go through that but then Miss Riley came into the picture and Liam went back to being Liam, no more sad and depressed Liam. We parked and grabbed our suitcases, I grabbed Liam's because he was carrying Riley and Harry grabbed Riley's suitcase because well she was sleeping, we didn't want to wake her up, she looked so peaceful. We got three rooms on the top floor, one room had two queen size beds, and the other two only had one queen size room. We decided that Riley and Liam would get the room with the two beds because We don't quite think Riley's comfortable sleeping in the same bed as someone she just met today even if it was with her brother. Me and Zayn shared a room and Harry and Louis shared a room.

Liam POV:

"Alright well I'm gonna go put Riley to bed, see you guys in the morning night love you" "ok night Li love you" " night love you" "love you too Liam night" "nighty night love you too" all of them replied before heading into their own rooms, I just chuckle a little not wanting to wake Ri up. I walk over quietly to my bed for the night and gently put her down, I take off her shoes putting them on the ground and lightly take her glasses off her face placing them on the bed side table. I walk over to her bed, pulling back the covers. I walk back over to Ri picking her up and gently placing her in her bed. I pull the blankets on her and kiss her forehead "night kiddo" then head to bed myself, falling into a deep sleep.
