A few bumps in the road (Liam payne fanfic)

Reunited with my bestfriend

Liam's POV:

I got a text from Dylan saying he was off the plane and on his way..Riley was still asleep even though it was 1:30 in the afternoon. She probably would have slept in this hole week till 1:30-2 o'clock if me and the lads didn't wake her up earlier.

Probably 30 minutes later, there was a knock at the door. I got up and walked to the front door, already having an idea on who it was. I opened the door to see a guy a little shorter than me.

"Hi I'm Dylan, you must be Liam" he said sticking his hand out for me to shack, which I accepted and shook his hand "that's me, come on in, make yourself at home, Riley's still asleep so we'll have to wait for her to get up" he followed me to the living room where the rest of the lads were watching tv. "Lads this is Dylan, Riley's friend" I took a seat back in my original seat on the couch beside Niall, while Dylan just stood there awkwardly "so Dylan take a seat" I said turning off the tv and all attention went to Dylan. I was trying so hard not to laugh, Dylan had to sit in between Louis and Zayn, who got closer to him throwing each an arm around the back of the couch making Dylan look so smaller and uncomfortable in between the both of them. An awkward silence fell apon the room so I figured it would be a good time to wake Riley up "Hey Zayn can you go wake up Riley?" "Sure" Zayn replied with no hesitation.

Zayn's POV:

I made my way up the 13 steps and opened the door to the bedroom. there laid Riley all curled up in a ball peacefully sleeping. I walked over to the side of the bed, shuffling my feet a bit and sat down on the bed and shook her a bit "Common Rils, time to get up" she just moaned back in response "Riley it's 2 in the afternoon you can't sleep all day" "yes I can" she mumbled in the pillow "well Liam wants you up" more moaned escaped her lips before she sat up, eyes still closed and rapped her arms around my neck "carry me" she spoke in a tired voice plopping her head down on my chest causing me to chuckle "alright sleepy hold on" I picked her up bridal style and walked back to the living room. As I walked back in the room everyone looked at us, Liam just shook his head at the sight of Riley in my arms.. He doesn't like it when she asks us to carry her, when she can clearly carry her own body. He doesn't want her to start up a bad habit cause it's always hard to stop once you start "really Riley, you have two legs, use them!" but she just ignored her big brother and kept her eyes closed. Since there were no more spaces left on the couches, I just put her in Niall's lap and she cuddled up to him, trying to keep warm. "Riley aren't you going to say good morning to everyone?" Louis asked trying to get her to look up. She looked up with tired eyes, until her eyes met with Dylan's. "Dylan!" She suddenly bursted out in excitement clearly no longer tired and basically jumped off Niall to give Him a hug. Dylan got up to get better access to the hug and rapped his arms around her waist as she threw her arms around his neck. I was happy that the two best friends were reunited but when I looked at Liam he had mix emotions of happy with a hint of annoyance lingering his facial expression, almost like something was bugging him. "What are you doing here?" Riley questioned Dylan with a smile on her face pulling away from the hug but still holding onto his arms as if if she were to let go,he'd disappear like this was all just a dream and that she would wake up any second "I missed you R, I missed seeing your beautiful face everyday" Riley's checks heated at her best friend's words when me and the lads were shocked, did we miss something? ether he's just really happy to see his Best friend or he's hit puberty and can't control his hormones like damn..cheeky bastard. Riley's checks didn't stay a light pink for long as it was covered with a look of confusion "y-yea but how did you get here? Secondly how in the hell did you get permission from Linda to come here?" Dylan opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by Harry "Liam called, they said that Dylan could come for a few days as long as we brought him back"

Riley's POV:

"What are you doing here?" I had to ask even thought I wasn't complaining because Dylan! He's here! Right in front of me and not on the other end of the phone! "I missed you R, I missed seeing your beautiful face everyday" Dylan smirked at me as my cheeks were probably a bright red, reminding me of a special memory... the day Dylan saved me. One day After the teens were done beating me and calling me names for the day, I ran back to my room crying like I always did, but today was different this time seemed like it just was never going to stop, like the multiple kicks to the stomach and legs and constant screaming just went on forever. I ran into the bathroom and grabbed my razor, I was so out of it I hadn't realized that Dylan was at the bathroom door telling me to put the razor down over and over again, the blades were inches away from my wrist as I tried holding back my tears. After the 10th time Dylan told me to put the razor down I finally dropped it as I dropped to the floor myself and balled my eyes out .. Dylan rushed over, kicking the razor far away from me before crutching down beside me, kissing my wrists before pulling me into a tight hug "Shh Shh it's ok, its ok it's all over, I'm here...shhhh" when I had calmed down a bit, Dylan pulled away from the hug putting both of his hands on my cheeks making sure that he had my full attention then whispered "Riley, your beautiful..ok Never, EVER think that cutting is the answer, ok come talk to me and we'll get threw it together ok?" I nodded before he pulled me back into a tight reassuring hug "Your beautiful ok?" He said once again into my neck. After that whenever they bullied me or teased me Dylan would call me beautiful to somewhat cheer me up. when I was brought back to reality I realized something putting me in a stat if confusion "y-yea but how did you get here? Secondly how in the hell did you get permission from Linda to come here?" " Liam called, they said that Dylan could come for a few days as long as we brought him back" I looked at Liam kind of teary eyed still showing off my pearly whites as I ran over to him to give him a hug "thank you Liam! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I mumbled in happiness into Liam's chest "no problem, I knew how much you were missing him so I decided to bring him out here for a couple of days" "I love you" "i know" Liam giggled pushing Me off of him before sitting back down on the couch turning the tv back on. I stood staring at Liam pushing my bottom lip out and crossing my arms around my chest until Liam says it back "fine, I love you too" he said rolling his eyes playfully as I smiled at him before walking over to the couch Dylan was sitting on as we started to catch up.
