"God dammit Niall get your skinny Irish ass out of bed!! Its already almost 9."

We need to be at the photo shoot at 11 and I wanted to really get a chance to hang out with Olivia before, but Niall won't get moving. Looks like I'm going to have to go by myself. Sophia really isn't going to like that but she will get over it. She was pissed when I told her I couldn't stay over last night since Niall and I were taking Olivia to coffee this morning. Now that Niall isn't going she is going to be a real pain in my ass. Don't get me wrong, I do love her. I asked the girl out 22 times for god sakes. Everything was fine up until recently. Now she's always getting jealous and acting rude to everyone and never wants to go anywhere. I know it's the hate that's getting to her. It can be a lot for someone to handle. She did fine at first. We all knew what to expect when we went public. Eleanor and Perrie were a huge help in getting her through the beginning. But unlike them, she still lets it get to her. We keep having the same fight over and over.

She says if I really loved her I would defend her more, that I would give up the band. She always wants to know how I could love these fans that hate her so much. In reality I know they are just jealous of her. That sounds conceited but it's true. They think they love me and they wish it was them with me. They don't know the real me. They just see me as the guy in the boy band. Trust me, if they got to know the real me, the dorky, superhero loving guy that plays Xbox until 2 in the morning and just loves making music more than anything they would be on to the next one in a second. Sophia doesn't see how much these fans have done for me. They've taken me from a skinny seventeen year old who was bad at school but loved to sing into an internationally known name. I get to travel the world doing what I want with my four best friends and numerous other people who mean the world to me. I could never repay them for that. I could never leave them.  

I decide to send her a quick text about my plans and shut my phone off. She's going to be pissed but I'll just deal with it later. I mean really, she's so insecure. I don't know what for. She's perfect. There's a reason all these girls are jealous of her, and it's not just me.

"Alright Nialler you snooze you lose. I'll see you at the photo shoot mate."

Olivia

Knock knock

What the hell? Did I forget to set my alarm last night? Why didn't I hear it? I roll over to look at my phone to see it's 8:55am...my alarm was set for 9. Ughhh why is Lou waking me up five minutes before my alarm? I throw the comforter to the side and trudge to the door as she knocks again. Jesus Christ woman I'm coming. Just as I'm about to yell at Lou for waking me up I realize it's not her at my door. Again I feel the shock as I look at the tall figure in his clunky boots, ripped jeans and flannel shirt. Staring back at me are the chocolate brown eyes of none other than Liam Payne. I'm instantly hyper aware of the fact that I'm wearing just a thin tank top and sleep shorts. I'm really going to have to invest in some better pajamas if this is going to become a routine.

"Oh jesus, I woke you up didn't I? I am so sorry. I just thought I would take you to coffee before the photo shoot. Or rather Niall and I were supposed to take you but he wouldn't get his ass out of bed so here I am. I'm Liam by the way but from the look on your face I'm guessing you already knew that." He closes his long monologue with a wink. Seriously, a wink from Liam Payne on my second day in London. I really am the luckiest girl in the world. Actually Sophia Smith is but I'm a close second. I realize he's waiting for a response for about a minute. I really need to get quicker with the uptake here.

"Yes, coffee, I definitely need a coffee, or five. Just let me get changed and we can go?"

"Yeah I think you'd be a bit cold out there in that. I'll just wait out in the hall."
