Was it her beauty that reeled me in? The mysterious, deep, color her eyes contained? Or her addictive smile, smell, or even her personality? It was none of these things. The reason she's too afraid and too sad to even talk is what made her even more mysterious and captivating to me. Not talking for six years as a side affect from a tragic accident is what I learned had caused it; her sister and mothers death traumatized her. And my goal is to help her break free, to help her gain the courage to live her life to the fullest. To speak to me.

Hi, I'm Ellie. Here's a little about me: First off, I'm perfect. I have the perfect life, the perfect boyfriend, the "perfect" brother...pretty much the perfect everything. I'm that girl everyone hates because she has it all. The one who gets the attention and adoration every day of her life. Yep, that's me. Oh yeah...one more thing. My last name's Payne. Yes...I am THE LIAM PAYNE'S from ONE DIRECTION 's little sister. I probably should have mentioned that earlier. Usually when I mention that, I gain even more attention. Like that were even possible. I don't really see my brother that much because he's...well...because he's LIAM PAYNE. The guy who's picture hangs on millions of girl's bedroom walls, the guy who performs in world-famous arenas...Liam Payne, the superstar. My big brother. I get a lot of hate for being his sister. Hey, I had nothing to do with it so get over it. If you have a problem, talk with my parents. This is the story of how my life goes from perfect to not-so-perfect. This is where I fall in love, where I make mistakes, where I figure out what life's really about. My name is Ellie Payne, and this is the story of my life. (A/N: Contains spanking. This story does not revolve around that subject, it's merely a detail in the background of the storyline :) Thanks for reading!)
