I Promise You

I Promise You

Years ago: --- "Promise me you'll come back to see me." Liam said hugging me. "Liam, of course. We're best friends. I'll come back to you as soon as I can!" I smiled. "Bye Felly." He said and I knew he was about to cry, and that never happens. "It's Felicia." I corrected. "Bye Liam." I hugged him for the hundredth time and this time kissed his cheek quickly.

It started raining so I hopped into my car and waved. He waved back, not caring that he was getting wet. And I drove to the airport and headed for California. I was 16, and alone. But I would have to make this decision. I thought I would come back to Liam, but sadly he moved off as well. And didn't give me any word to hold onto. Didn't write me, didn't call. ---

Present day: --- I sighed unlocking my front door and slipping inside. With grocery bags piled up in my arms I hurried to the kitchen and set them down. Today was it. I'll be going to see my old best friend years later. Liam Payne. He was always the smart, cute, funny and responsible one. I always got us both in trouble and messed around. I'm still a trouble maker.

I stretched my arms up, my shirt coming up a bit and then let my arms fall to my sides. "What if he doesn't remember me?" I asked myself out loud. Oh crap. That would be awful. I didn't have his number or anything, because he's famous now. One Direction was in concert tonight and I got backstage passes. Only so I could see Liam of course. I loved hearing his voice everywhere. But it's hard to think about how much I missed him. He's everywhere as well. I can't help but wish I never had to leave him. I Hope he doesn't hate me...

He was handsome, famous and just perfect now. I'm just a girl who seems rebellious though I love my family. Just because I wear a lot of black and leather and ride a motorcycle doesn't mean I'm a delinquent. Hours later I pulled on skinny black leather jeans, a a nice blue shirt that had jewels on the sleeves and neat patterns all around, boots, and a little bit of make up. My hair was brown and straight but some times wavy and very long. But tonight I curled it very nice. I put on gold colored jewelry and put on the silver charm bracelet Liam gave me.

I still had it. I headed out the door and pulled myself onto my bike. It roared to life and a smirk lifted on my face as I put on my helmet. I got to the parking in minutes and had to park far away from all the people here. Everyone was rushing inside quickly to get it. I took a deep breath and began walking to the doors. I handed in my ticket and they let me in. I smiled and instead of actually joining the concert, I went around the side part of the building. I ran up some stairs and turned many corners. I memorized this place because I worked here all the time. It had great pay. I turned another corner and saw the security.

I showed them my backstage pass. They nodded and I saw David smile from the side. "Hey Felicia." I smiled. "Hey David!" I waved and pushed through the door and to the backstage. David and I worked together and he was a good friend. We went on 1 date and it didn't work out, but we're just friends now. I sat down on a sofa biting my nails nervously. What if he doesn't recognize me? I waited until the concert ended and I could hear footsteps. The crew and band came out first and then the boys. I bit my lip and looked to the ground. I'm too nervous to say anything. They didn't really notice me as they went straight for the food table, probably thinking I'm just a security girl that makes sure no one gets through. "Oh gosh, look at that chocolate!" Said one of them and I grinned to myself.

It was some amazing chocolate. I stood up and walked to the table, finally getting some confidence. "You should try the peanut butter, it's fantastic." One of the boys looked up and checked me out. He wasn't Liam though. "Um..." I looked at every face until my eyes landed on him. "Liam?" He looked up confused and his eyes filled with shock. "Felicia?" He asked. "Holy crap, you know her?!" I knew that was Harry. "Felicia... You're... You... What... Gosh how are you so hot?!" He asked then shut his mouth realizing his mistake. "And why didn't you call me?" I asked my voice very stern. "I thought you wouldn't want me to." "Heck yeah I did." I sighed turning and walking to the door. Why did I even come?
