Best Friend's Brother- a liam payne fanfic

Chapter One

KAITLYN POV

"All right, guys! That's enough for today," I told the team. "Go home and get some rest for the game tomorrow. And, Sam," I said adressing the red-headed girl with blue eyes, "Eat some breakfast. We don't want a repeat of what happened last time."

She nodded and ran off.

I made my way over to Anna, my best friend. I was spending the night at her house so that we could put together a game plan for tomorrow. Being the captain of the volleyball team is a lot of responsibility. I can handle it, but still, every captain needs a co-captain. My co-captain is Anna.

"Liam is picking us up. My car is in the shop," she said.

"Great," I said. Liam was Anna's older brother. He and I have grown... close, I guess would be the appropriate word to use, in the past three years. I found him irritating at times. He is arrogant, and full of himself. He's nice, yes, but he is a complete dick about it. he's protective over Anna; pretty much maddogs any guy he sees with her. I've notice him doing the same with me lately, but in a much different way. He is attractive, and I honestly don't know why I think that. Maybe its his 'bad boy' repututation that he has. I wasn't sure, but I always pushed that thought to the back of my mind.

We made our way out of the schools gym. I caught sight of my ex Michael, holding hands with his new girlfriend. My heart stopped when I saw him. His purple hair, his smile, the way his chest looked in his cut Iron Maiden t-shirt. He and I did almost everything together. We were inseperable.

Our eyes met and we held each others gaze. He gave me a smirk and landed his lips onto his girlfriend's. I couldn't breathe. Anna took notice of my anxiety attack and dragged me to the parking lot.

"Hey, deep breaths. Take deep breaths," she told me. I did as she said and I felt a little bit better. "Forget that piece of shit. You don't need him."

"it isn't that simple, Anna."

"Its been two months-"

"I'm aware of how long its been. I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm not over it; over him. Two years. we were together for two years and I fell in love. I can't forget everything that happened between him and I just like that," I took a deep breath. "I gave him everything and he just dumped it. I'm sorry but I'm grieving and everyone does it differently. I am not over him yet."

"okay," she said quietly. I felt bad. I hadn't meant to snap at her. She walked off in search of Liam's car. I followed, the images of Michael and his girlfriend flooding my mind. He smirked before he kissed her. Its like he wanted me to see that.

Anna found Liam's car. I got in the back behind Liam. Anna went to take her spot in the passenger seat, but groaned when she saw that Zayn, Liam's best friend, was already sitting in it. I laught lightly as she climbed in next to me. "Shut up, Kaitlyn." she hissed.  Anna acted like Zayn annoyed the living shit out of her, but I knew better. She liked him. But thank god Liam didn't. He'd murder her for even thinking about Zayn like that.

"So how was practice," Liam asked. I heard Anna answer, but I didn't. My head was turned toward the window. I saw Michael walking with his girlfriend. "Kaitlyn," Liam said my name.

"Huh," I said looking away from the window.

"How was practice?"

"Oh. It was fine," I replied simply and looked back out the window. From the corner of my eye, I could see Liam giving me a concerned look through the rear view mirrow. I chose to ignore it,.

We dropped Zayn off at his flat and Anna claimed her spot in the front. About half way home from Zayn's house, tears beagn to fall from my eyes as I over thought everything. I wiped them away before anyone could see.
