The Lucky One (A Liam Payne Story)

Chapter Fourteen

*Liam's POV*

"You coming, mate?" I shook my head to clear my thoughts away and looked to Harry, who stood by his car waiting for me.

"Oh." I cleared my throat awkwardly. "Yeah. Sorry."

I made my way to the passenger side of the car and climbed in as Harry started the car.

"Are you alright?" Harry asked, looking at me for a few seconds.

I nodded. "Yeah. Just thinking."

"Oh?" He asked as he stopped at a light. "Do you want to talk about it?"

I chuckled to myself and looked out of my window. "Uh, how about I say thanks, but no thanks." I felt my cheeks become hot, just thinking about talking to him abou-

"It's about my sister, isn't it?" He asked, reading my mind.

I looked down into my lap and nodded. "Yeah..."

Harry laughed loudly, causing me to look at home. "Don't be embarrassed, Liam. It's adorable."

I looked forward again and sighed, "I'm not embarrassed... It's just... you..."

"Me?"

I nodded. "Yes. You're her brother, and people don't usually talk to the brother of the person they lo-... Um, like.

"Mhm." I looked over to find Harry sitting with a smug smile on his face.

The rest of the ride was pretty quiet, just the radio, and Harry's low humming to the music.

I took a deep breath when Harry parked his car. "You ready, lover boy?" he asked before laughing loudly again.

I groaned before stepping out of the car and following him up the front steps. "Harry?" He turned around with a wide grin on his face. "Uh, please don't say anything, okay?"

Harry gave me a look of disappointment, but his grin wasn't far away. "Would I do that?" He asked, touching his hand to his chest.

I only nodded as we finished our walk to the door. "I won't say anything." He assured me as he swung the door open.

A sweet smell surrounded us, causing Harry to stop in his tracks. "Are you okay, mate?" I asked, putting my hand on his shoulder.

He shook my hand off and continued towards the kitchen, dropping his bag in the hallway.

I followed him until we reached the doorway of the kitchen. He stood watching Emilia dance around alone and singing some song.

I watched on for a while longer until I heard a noise next to me. Harry had started crying. "You're making mum's favorite meal." He stated.

She gave a soft smile and nodded. She didn't say anything. I'm just guessing by the look on Harry's face, she didn't have to.

"Thank you so much for dinner, it was amazing." Mrs. Payne said, giving me a hug before stepping out onto the porch.

I smiled, shutting the door and turning around. "Thank you so much." I felt Harry's arms around me. "You have no idea how much I want to cry right now."

I felt a lump grow in my throat, hugging him back. "I know, Haz. I miss mum too."

Harry pulled away from me as dad walked in. "How did you remember?" Dad asked with tears in his eyes.

I smiled as he reached out, pulling Harry and I into him. "Some things, you just never forget." I said into his chest.

"How about a movie night?" Harry suggested.
