Growing Up and Moving On: A One Direction Story

Chapter 15: Reasons why

Weird. Did he really just have to leave like that. Everything seems so anticlimactic. The only curious item is this piece of paper. I bent down to grab the paper and sat on the leather recliner and pulled up my knees to read it. The outside had Sophie written in perfect cursive. I opened it to find a long laundry list of perfect letters written in bullet point. "Reasons why" it read at the top.

"Sophie, I realize that there isn't just one thing that is special about you. There are many things that I have grown to appreciate in you. I haven't known you long, but I can notice how truly great you are." He wrote me a list why I should forgive him. How adorable!

"1) you laugh at any joke I make even if I don't mean to kid

2) you smile brighter than the sun over the water

3) you are naturally beautiful

4) you are more complex than any other girl I have met

5) you care about others even if they don't feel the same about you

6) your laugh makes everyone else in the room smile

7) seven. your my lucky catch"

I can't believe it. Liam actually likes me. We have only known each other for four days but this is fantastic. Whoa... Liam Payne. 1/5 of one direction. This isn't real. I run across the hall to Rachel's bedroom. I first knock to see if she is awake then barge in. She's fast asleep with her phone on her chest after staying up late texting Jake Tomlinson. Jake is so much different that Louis. I find it to be to his advantage because Rachel has always wanted a perfect gentleman. She has found her prince and so have I.

"Rachel.... Rachel Sinclair?" I poke her ticklish spot on her side and she jumps up. "Sophie!! What do you want?! I'm sleeping it's 3 am what are you even doing up??" "Guess who just came?" I hand her the note. From here it's pretty self explanatory.

She reads the letter and automatically begins the noises of adoration. "Awww you are so lucky!!! Take him! Call him now! Text him! He is probably still up! Do it now!" "

Rachel calm down. It's past 3 am I think I might just wait until morning to give him a call. I ran up to my bed to attempt to get a good nights sleep but constantly thought about Liam. I can't wait to call him tomorrow.

Everything is just so perfect. Nothing has ever been this perfect. Wait.... It's too perfect. It can't be real. There must be a catch to all of this. If I know my god, I know that he always has a trick up his sleeve to mess up my life. I guess I will just have to wait for disaster to strike.
