Cinderella (Book 1 in the Fairy tail series)

Chapter 7

I walked out of the hospital with Liam by my side. I really didn’t want to think about what happened in there, so I decided to talk to Liam.

“What did you guys do?” I asked as we climbed into the car. Liam slipped into the driver’s seat and started the car up.

“Well I visited my family and the boys…I have no idea what they did, than we had a performance at the end of the week.” He said.

“Why did you come home early?” I asked confused it hadn’t been two weeks yet.

“I forgot the presents I bought for my family.” He said sheepishly. I let out a little laugh. Man did it feel good to laugh again. We sat in silence for the rest of the drive; it wasn’t awkward it was nice. When we arrived Liam all but carried me to the elevator.

“I can walk you know.”  I said laughing at the six years old face when Liam carried me into the elevator.

“Are you to married?” the little girl asked. I blushed bright red and Liam laughed.

“No darling.” Liam said as the girl’s mother smiled apologetically.

“I’m sorry. She’s been watching to many princess movies.” The mother said still smiling.

“Aren’t you Liam Payne?” the little girl asked. I buried my head in Liam’s neck as sudden drowsiness took over.

“Yes I am.” I could tell he was smiling like an idiot.

“Can I have a photo?” I heard the little voice say.

“I’m so-”I cut Liam off by jumping down out of his arms and standing next to him, he looked at me confused.

“Give the girl a photo.” I said to Liam he nodded. The mother got her camera out and snapped a quick photo of her daughter and Liam. Once it was taken Liam picked me back up bridal style and I rolled my eyes.

“Do you live in this building?” Liam asked as the elevator binged.

“Yes.” The little girl said.

“Then maybe the rest of the band might see you.” He said smiling as he walked out of the elevator. I buried my head into his neck again, closed my eyes and breathed in his scent. I felt him reach into his pocket and unlock the door. He carried me into the apartment and I kept my head buried in his neck, I felt safe, like nothing could touch me while I was in his arms.

“Are you done smelling me?” he asked playfully. I was glad that he couldn’t see my face, because his words made my whole face light up.

“As a matter of fact...no!” I said cheekily burying me head deeper into his neck. He let out a little sigh and he placed me onto the bed. I smiled as he laid me onto the soft mattress, I rolled over and snuggled into the blanket’s, I suddenly realized how tired I was.

“Goodnight.” Liam whispered as he turned off the light.

I woke up in a pool of sweat. I couldn’t breathe properly and I felt dizzy. I tried to get to sleep but every time I closed my eyes I saw his eyes. I shuddered. I climbed out of bed and placed my hand against the wall so I wouldn’t fall onto my face and walked out of the spare room. I tried to remember where Liam’s room was, I needed someone right now. I managed to find his room, but there was no one there. I walked in careful not to trip on any of the items of clothing on the floor and climbed onto his bed. The pillow smelt just like him, I could feel myself relax and suddenly felt really tired. I closed my eyes and any of the bad images I was seeing before, were no longer there. I heard footsteps, I tried to shrink into the bed and disappear. I felt the bed shift next to me as someone sat down.

“Bad dream?” Liam’s voice asked. I nodded slowly, trying to seem on the verge of sleeping. I felt him lie down next to me. I rolled over and snuggled into his side. “Goodnight.” He whispered kissing me forehead.

I woke up alone in Liam’s bed. I sat up and looked around the room, looking for Liam but he was nowhere in the room. I climbed off the bed and walked out into the kitchen, I could smell bacon and eggs which made my stomach rumble.

“Good Morning!” Louis said cheerily from his position at the table. I ran over and hugged him like there was no tomorrow.

“I missed you!” I whispered. He let out a small laugh.

“I missed you too! Liam told me what happened.” Louis said holding my tighter. I buried my head in the crook of his neck. I pulled back and looked at him and smiled.

“STOP HOGGING THE GIRL!!” Harry yelled. I let out a little laugh as the curly haired boy ran toward Lou and me. I let go of Lou and gave Harry a massive hug.

“I’m sorry.” Harry whispered into my ear. I let go and looked at him.

“I’m OK now.” I lied, while smiling to try to convince him. He must have bought it because he looked less worried.

“ANNA!!” Niall’s Irish voice rang through the apartment.

“NAILL!” I yelled back tackling him in for a huge hug. We let go and smiled like the idiots we were. I felt so good having the boys around. But there was just one missing. I heard someone cough from behind me; I turned around and saw Zayn standing closely behind me. I smiled and looked into his eyes. I suddenly felt scared; Zayn had the same colored eyes as…him. I kept my smile in place as Zayn came closer. Suddenly his lips were on mine and my arms were around his neck. The boys clapped and wolf whistled. Once Zayn and I broke apart he placed our foreheads together and looked into my eyes.

“Will you be my girlfriend?”
