I can't stop thinking 'bout the first time, ooh
Yeah, It's like you put a spell on me

~ First Time. Liam J Payne

"hey!"

liam turned around. suddenly everything changed. he's in the middle of a classroom. he blinked twice to absorb his surroundings. he's alone. 

"hey!"

a beautiful voice came from beside him, startling him. there he was, the owner of that angelic voice. he chuckled as liam looked at him with wide eyes. that chuckle was like divine music to liam's ears. 

"who are you?" liam asked, surprised at his confidence.

"that, you don't need to know" the young man spoke "the question is, what do you want?" 

"what?" liam was confused.

"yeah. what do you want? in your life, i mean. do you miss something?" he asked.

liam frowned but sighed. of course, there's a lot missing in his life. he misses a family he loves to have around. he misses the passion in work. he misses birthday parties and christmas gifts. he misses...the love life...

"yeah. that's what i thought" the young spoke again.

"what?" liam asked.

"you miss a lot of things, don't you?" he asked.

"no. maybe. but that doesn't matter" liam frowned.

"no, that matters. anyways, you'll find something you won't ever think of letting go, soon" he spoke.

"what is it?" liam asked.

"you'll know. just 'member... use your heart while it's beating..." he smiled walking away.

"what do you mean?" liam queried.

the young man just smiled, blinking his eyes like he meant what he said.

"wait" liam shouted.

but the man didn't stop. liam lunged at him, grabbing his wrist. their eyes met and liam felt so alive for a second but just like that he was gone....dissolving into the space...leaving out the specks of... chalk dust...

liam squinted his eyes, coughing at the wisps of chalk dust.

"leeyum!" 

liam shot his eyes open. louis was looking at him weirdly. 

"you fell asleep while i was preparing your coffee" louis asked.

"i guess" liam replied rubbing sleep out of his eyes.

"can you give me a ride today?" louis pleaded "harry's mom is using his car today"

"ummm" liam thought sipping his coffee.

he felt his pocket for mobile. but he didn't find it. he sighed hoping it is in the locker room at school, where he was lounging this early morning. 

"please, lima bean" louis pouted.

liam nodded as louis engulfed him in a hug murmuring a thanks, to which liam chuckled shaking his head and soon both walked out of the cafe. louis is liam's cousin. he works the early morning shift at the cafe, a few blocks away from school. liam moved to bradford an year ago. his life is not as simple as it seems to the world. he has no money issues. he's working just to keep himself busy. he has dreams. he want to persuade them. but he just feels out of place. he's.....lonely.
