"Come on guys. Why do I'm always the one who do this?" - Liam begged

"Because you're Daddy Direction, that's why." - Louis jerked, winked at Eleanor and made her laugh. Elouis, their habit is to nicknamed others and made fun of them. However Liam found it jealous sometimes when he had no girlfriend at all.

"Okay okay, stop it. I'll go!" - Liam surrenders. The whole lads burst out laughing. Liam just simply can't fight the two of them. They were born mocking people.

Liam starts to run down the hallway. What takes the costume lady so long? The costumes for the show must have been lying in the wings by now when they are about to get on the stage. They had put up their extra make up and wait for the suits for 15 minutes. Everyone is so busy with their work and thank god the generous Louis says he would go and check the things out, and there is Liam rushing in the hallway.

BANG!!

Liam is busy with his thought when he found himself bump into something. The hallway must be empty now. Liam can see stars around him. What bumped into him must be really hard, and big, and hard...

"Oh my gosh, are you okay? I'm really sorry!" - A girl's voice mutters. Oh so THAT's what he bumped into.

"It's okay, I'm okay." Liam feels a little dizzy in his head. What if he couldn't remember the lyrics when he gets on stage? What if there's some injury in his head? What if...? OH snap out of it Liam Payne. You're a little bit overreacting.

Then Liam looks at the girl, who is holding his head, looking really confused.

"Ah hey do I know you?" - Liam doesn't know why he asks that. It's not like him asking something to get the girls' attention (such as Harry). He just feels the girl is really familiar and that he has known her.

The girls opens her eyes widely, then she frowns and finally drops her jaws. "YOU ARE THAT LIAM PAYNE?"

What Liam Payne? What is she talking about?

Before anyone can ever guess what happened, Liam's mouth starts to open big, also! "You're Amy?"

*Flashback*

"Hey little Liam!" - The boys called Liam's name, the bullies actually. He does his best to stay away from them but they keep on picking on him. What did he do wrong?

"We're talking to you son of a bitch. Why don't you turn around to face us, momma's boy?" - They lock Liam's way. There's no way to escape. Liam is scared, really scared. There's no one in the hallway that can help him now. What is he going to do?

"Stay away Brad. I'm late for my class." - Liam aims his stare on the floor, refuses to look at the boys' eyes.

"Oh yeah?!" - Brad pushes Liam to the locker behind him. "What do you think about that? Why don't you just run?"

How the hell can he run? His legs are fucking trembling now, he's scared of being punched in the face.

"NOOO, STAY AWAY." -Liam uses all his trength to push against the enormous Brad and his gang. But it's worthless.

"Show me all your best boy. Are you supposed to be crying and call your mommy?" - Brad teases, it comes almost everytime when Liam is about to cry, which he is right now.

Liam is on the verge of explosion when he hears a loud voice coming on the hallway "HEY THE BOYS THERE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

It is Amy. She's the cutest girl Liam's ever known, that is probably because he knows too few girl to compare, and Amy is also the strongest and bravest. She's the only one who wants to climb tree instead of playing barbies. To be honest, she is a BOY!!! Nar it's just the way Liam says. However Amy has always been there when Liam was kidnapped and somehow, Liam feels appreciate that. He sometimes still feels so ashamed for hiding under her sleeves.

"We're doing nothing Amy. Just get to know the little boy a little bit!" - Brad puts his hands up. A jerk. Liam knows he fancies Amy for a very long time and maybe that's the reason he picks on him. But well, at least Amy is on his side.

"Okay I appreciate your FRIENDLINESS Brad. But don't you think it's time for Liam to get into class?" - Amy says with the best mocking ever.

Liam walks past fast. He doesn't even sneak a look at Brad. He doesn't even dare to. NEVER.

"Are you okay?" - Amy asks nervously.

"Yeah I'm fine. You just saved my life. Thank you!"

"No prob. We're neighbor afterall." - Oh and did I mention Amy is Liam's neighbor? Well, I did just now.

"Don't tell my parents will you?" - Liam begs, this is not the first time he does. He doesn't want his parents to mess things up.

"Don't worry." - Amy comforts him. "But seriously, Liam. You've got to do something about it. I'm not always here to protect you."

"What do you mean you're not always here?" - Liam looks at Amy, he doesn't know what she is talking about.

For a second, he thinks he saw the girl's concern. "Nar it's just a theory. Let's hurry into the classroom."

...

"Mom, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?" - Liam asks his mother. She has been acting really weird these days when Liam asks about Amy. She has been absent from school for 5 days. And to be honest, Liam has never seen her in the playground climbing the tree with the other boys. That is really weird, unless there's something wrong with him.

"Okay Liam, if you must know, here's the story. Amy has moved away with her father. Her mother is dead of cancer, and no one knows where her father is. Her uncle says he will get the house sold and do all the paperwork for them, so it might take a while for her to transfer into another school. Before she leaves, Amy has told me about your issue and she advises me to sign up a self-defense class for you."

Lately, Liam has signed up a martial art class, as aforeasaid, and Brad seems to scare of him now. He's proud about that. But the fact that Amy is not around to stop Brad from messing up with him really kills him. He wants to see the girl so madly. He doesn't even get to say goodbye, or even have her address, or telephone number, or facebook, or twitter account. No the girl doesn't enjoy online websites, she only enjoys playing outside. What a cool girl!

*Flashback ends*

The girl runs her hands through her hair, smiles. "Hello Liam. Can't believe you recognize me! It's been very long since we last met."

The girl is the same as she used to be, still as beautiful and as gorgeous as an angel. Her smile is a little bit shy, but still, there's something playful in it.

"Yeah it's been a long time... Can I please have your phone number please?" - He can't believe he just said that. It's too fast you know. But what's the deal, he's in a hurry anyway!

"It's XXXXXXXXXX. Please make it Amanda. I changed my name since I moved!"

"It's a beautiful name, indeed." - The second time, he said it!
