Turning Tables l.p (COMPLETED)

Chapter One

"I got a fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the dark!" Alexis sings along to the music. Sarah is quietly singing the catchy song and drinking coffee.

I rub my hands together and look out at the lake we're passing. Today is the day, I'm meeting One Direction. The day that Alexis meets her idols and I see Liam. I soon feel my eyes losing, due to the lack of sleep and I'm soon asleep.

"Well well, the mistake is back. You're nothing, that's why everyone gave up on you." Chloe says, taking a puff from her cigarette.

"Not everyone gave up on me! Sarah isn't!" My voice trembles and I shake with fear.

"Everyone will leave you, you're trash. Why did Liam leave?"

Chloe walks closer to me and raises her arm at me, I flitch.

I wake up and I'm sweating like crazy and breathing heavily.

"Ash, are you okay?" Sarah says, looking at me.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

"Well, we are here." Sarah says.

Alexis is tapping on her feet and patting her hands on her legs.

"Great! I'm excited." I smile, meaning every word I said. I whip the sweat away and we all get out.

We step in front of the stadium. I see hundred of girls in front of the gates. After twenty minutes we spot the meet and greet area. We start walking towards the door and show the lady out passes. Alexis is in tears and shaking. Sarah is laughing and taking pictures. I wrap my arm around Alexis. I want to cry, I don't know if it's because I'm nervous, sad, or happy. We walk into a long line. Soon, we are the last in line and I spot Liam hugging a younger girl. I feel a tear go down my face. Ash. Calm down. He won't remember you. It's okay.. It's okay. I start crying into Sarah's arms as I look at Liam. We are going one by one, and Alexis goes first.

"Oh my god you're real!" She squeals and starts to cry.

Harry chuckles and they take photos. They start talking about how hot they were and Sarah is laughing and taking more pictures of her view. Niall picks her up and more pictures are taken.

"Thank you guys so much for doing what you do, you guys really impacted my life," Alexis' voice shakes and the boys smile before a group hug.

Right before she goes, Alexis is crying again and she steps off. Liam goes up some stairs as I walk to the boys and I get upset. Louis. Tomlinson. He notices my sadness and whispers in my ear, "Don't worry love, he's going to the bathroom, he'll be back." I smile and hug him. Louis smells like peppermints and green tea.

"I waited so long for this." I say.

"Hello! Don't forget us!" Niall says, pouting with his hands around Harry's shoulders.

"Oh my god, how could I forgot you guys!" I say, walking over to Niall and he gives me the best hug I have ever received. I mean the best hug ever. I look at Harry and he picks me up and hugs me. I start smiling, "Hi! I'm Ashleigh Adams!"

"Skittles?" His voice says. I look up at Liam holding a water bottle.

"Skittles?" The boys say together.

"That's the skittles?" Louis says.

I soon feel myself getting light headed while I'm in Harry Styles arms, and I fall backwards into the ground and Liam steps close. And then everything goes dark.

I wake up to the noises of a heart monitor. I feel someone's warm hand, touching my face, lightly.

I open my eyes, and I see Liam Payne, the one and only.

"Why..." I whisper.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Why did you leave me?"

"I- freaked out. I was scared and I was stupid. And I was too nervous to find you. And I was stupid. I'm so sorry Ashleigh."

"You were scared? I was the one, leaving everything behind! I was leaving the country and leaving my whole life behind! I started bad habits because I thought something was wrong with me because the one person who was never suppose to leave me, left.."

"Bad habits?" He questions.

"Don't you have a show to go to?"

"It's been rescheduled for tomorrow night."

"You can leave," I look down.

"No, I'm not leaving."

"Why?"

"Because I miss you and I need to make it up to you."
