Save Me - A One Direction Fanfiction (TO BE DELETED)

Chapter 6

Liam

Liam Payne can't help himself as he steals glances at Juliet, although he should be paying attention to the road.  Her beauty lights up the entire car, illuminating Liam's eyes.  Her blonde hair is pinned back in a simple braid while the rest of her hair rests straight on her shoulders.  Juliet's green orbs are set forward, glazed over.  She seems to be deep in thought, refusing to even acknowledge Liam.

In the background, What Makes You Beautiful is sounding softly from the radios.

You're insecure,

don't know what for,

you're turning heads when you walk through the do-oor.

Liams grins to himself, it's strange hearing his own voice on the radio, he never thought it was possible.

Juliet suddenly shakes her head, exiting her mindless state from earlier.  She begins humming the tune of the song.  

"You have a lovely singing voice," Liam breaks the silence, sliding one hand off of the steering wheel.  They are on their way to the condo the boys had rented to work on homework.  Liam's just desperate to get to know her better.  She has been so closed off to him, and well, to the world.  In her mind, it's clear that she's alone.  

Juliet simply nods and continues humming along, tapping her fingers on the window.

Liam pulls into the driveway of the condominium and parked the car smoothly. He quickly pushes open his door after pulling the keys, then rushes to Juliet's door to pull it open for her like a gentleman.

Juliet giggles.  "Why thank you, sir Liam," she says in a perfect British accent.

"Are you making fun of me?" Liam acts offended as they walk up the staircase, making their way up.  As they laughed and joked, Liam finds himself thankful for the lack of fans.  Well, they do love their fans, but too much of them is never, ever, a good thing.

All the way at the top floor, Liam turns the key in the lock and easily pushes open the door.  Inside, it's still messy as it was when he left it.  Food wrappers, boxes, and cans litters the floor along with articles of clothing.  Liam silently prayers that Harry hadn't stripped down and is currently in the living room, naked.  "Sorry, for the mess," Liam tells Juliet as he pushes some garbage out of the way.  

Juliet removes her shoes and tosses them in a corner before following Liam.  "I have two brothers, it's just like home!"

They laugh all the way to the kitchen, which is tucked all the way in the beck of the condo.  The door swings open just as Liam reaches to prop it open.  Louis' cheeky face appears, with dabs of peanut better and chocolate in his hair.  He has such a broad smile on his face, Liam knows it has to be a girl behind it. 

Sure enough, the girl Louis was with earlier, Alysia comes from behind Louis and waves hello while dabbing her face with a napkin.  It looks like Louis got her with some whipped cream and nutella.

Liam promptly smacks Louis' head without hesistation.  "George is going to be angry at us," Liam goes all 'Daddy Direction' on him.  He has to live up to that stereotype, looking out for everyone, right?

Louis smiles, squinting his eyes playfully.  Alysia drags him back to Louis' bedroom, laughing at his various faces.  

"They're cute together," Juliet says while craning her head to get a good look at them.  

Liam tightens the lid of the containers and jars left on the counters and places them in the counters.  He swore he was the only boy there with knowledge on how to clean up after himself.  He shrugs.  "I guess they do."
