Leah's POV

So it was Tuesday... the day we were going over to see Karen and Geoff... the day we were going to watch Liam on the X Factor... the day we were gonna break the news to them about my dad. Ugh this was not going to be fun. I grabbed my phone off my desk and opened a new text to Audrey.

omg its today. FREAKIN OUT! Eep

I clicked send and laid my phone on my chest, glancing at my clock and decided to crawl under the covers I hadn't slept a wink last night. For some reason the only thing I could think about was... Liam. It was strange actually, we hadn't talked in a long time and now he was off to the X Factor I still wouldn't be able to talk to him even if I wanted to. Which I didn't... Did I? As my eyes began to close I could smell the barbeque, the juices from the hamburgers and chicken sizzling under the intense heat of the fire...

**FLASHBACK**

"Hiya Karen," I said, plopping next to her out of breath.

"Leah you sound like you've just run a marathon." She laughed.

"It feels like it, Liam decided to pull me in the water so I've just swam from the dock to the beach then ran all the way up - " I was stopped mid-sentence by Liam landing on top of me. "Liam... please... get... off... can't... breathe..." I huffed in between the short breaths I could muster up.

"Hmm? What was that? Mum did you hear something?" He asked. The cheeky bastard. I began slapping his bare back.

"LI-AM! GET OFF!" I screamed.

"Oh Leah? Is that you? I didn't see you there! Oh gosh did I steal your seat? I'm so sorry." A sly smile played across his lips as he got up and sat in the chair next to me.

"Jerk." I muttered.

"Alrighty who wants a hamburger and who wants chicken?" My dad came over in his apron with the grill spatula in his hand.

"Chicken!" I yelled.

"Hamburger!" Liam yelled at the same time. He looked at me and nodded towards my dad's apron before bursting into laughter. I felt my cheeks flushing in embarrassment. "Hey Mr. Thomas, I'm liking the apron. It's a good look for you." He joked.

"Well thanks, your dad picked out matching ones for us." Now it was Liam's turn to be embarrassed. Our dad's stood next to each other, arms slung over the others shoulder. I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Oh shut up Lee." He complained.

"Sorry Li, you started it." I loved our matching nicknames. When we were younger we used to say that we were twins because our names were so similar.

**END FLASHBACK**

I woke up to the sound of my mum rummaging through my closet.

"Can I help you?" I inquired, giving her a questioning look.
