Liam's POV
Harry - "hey liam what do you call a dinosaur who cant hug?...an AWKWARD dinosaur!"
"ummmmm harry, that's not funny."
Harry "yeah it is cause its like an awkward turtle but instead it is an awkward dinosaur.
"no. harry no dinosaurs can hug. Just stop."
Harry- "umm...well...ok.."
Niall jumps onto the couch with a bag of chips in hand. Zayn is in the bathroom and louis is skyping Eleanor. The boys and I had a concert last night but tonight is our last night in the states and then we go home for a couple weeks then we are spending the summer in London. Recording doing some shows here and there but mainly just trying to relax and catch up. I cant wiat I haven't seen my mum in forever. Just as im thinking this m phone does the kim possible ring tone. I only have one person set to that. And that is when she texts me. I instantly grab my phone and can feel my heart racing. I check and sure enough it is Lilly's face with a text that reads
. heyy leumm, heard youre coming home soon! Cant wait missed you loads! hurry home so we can cuddle, I need you to keep me warm on these cold London nights ;) - your best friend Lillian.
I blush and send back a quick text.
.you heard correct but I was gonna surprise you! You ruined my plan :/ guess im gonna have to beat you up and make you watch scary movies! :P love you lil bear!.
The boys see and give me a strange look. "what!"
Zayn- "umm nothing just only one person has that ringtone...and uh...you been blushing a lot lately...anything you want to tell us brother?"
"guys you know I cant keep secrets! So you all probably already know so youre just be cruel trying to get me to say it out loud."
Niall-"if you cant tell us youre never gonna be able to tell her!"
Louis- "YEH!"
Shoot, they are right. I wish they weren't but if I cant even admit it out loud to my best friends how the heck will I ever tell lilly. "well I like my best friend"
Louis chimes in as if he has no idea what im talking about -"and who exactly is this little lady that seems to have stolen the heart of our big daddy liam!"
I just chuckle lightly to myself and whisper "Lilly, her name is Lilly."
All the boys dance around the room yelling "LIAM AND LILLY LIAM AND LILY~~LIAM AND LILLY SITING IN A TREEE K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" I cover my eyes with my hand and laugh at what I hear. I think of a time when me and lilly were about 8. She was always trying to climb trees. She had gotten extremely high this time and couldn't get down, but didn't want to admit it so she told me to come up. So I did. When I got to her I could tell her voice was kind of shaky. "lil what's wrong"
"nothing liam! Why would you say that"
"well we are really high lilly! How are we gonna get down"
"I don't know liam!" her voice broke when she said my name. she then lightly whispered.. "youre the boy youre supposed to save me."
I giggled and kissed her on the cheek "don't worry ill always save you lilly! Just like woody!" then she giggled and we climbed down together. When we got to the bottom she hugged me and whispered into my ear "thanks woody!" before hitting me and running away yelling "you're it cowboy!" then I flashed to a time when we were 15. Lilly had just gotten her heart broken by her boyfriend dan. He dumped her on new years eve. Every year lilly and me would spend new years together we would drink tons of sparkling wine and we'd cook pasta and play games till midnight. then we would watch movies. But that year she was going to go out with Dan then come to my house and we would watch movies. At 830 I got a call from an unknown number. I picked it up and all I heard was crying on the other line and then someone whisper in-between sobs "liam..." I knew that voice. I grabbed my keys and jacket and ran to catch a cab phone still in hand as we drove to the bar to where she said they were going. "lilly it's gonna be ok. Im on my way just stay on the phone with me till I get there."
"ok..." all I could hear was crying so I tried to keep myself from crying by making conversation even though I knew she wouldn't engage. "so I didn't make the pasta yet. And ummm mum says hello. And I decided to shave my head." Silence on the other line. "lilly, you there.?"
I heard her inhale before very calming replying "liam, that is not even funny."
I burst out laughing "im here love" as I paid the cabby and ran to where the payphone is. I hung up and put my phone in my pocket. "come here love" I said as I wrapped her into my arms. She was shaking as she sobbed in my arms. I ran my finger through her hair, "shhh...its ok...don't cry...itll be alright."
"im sorry liam I should have listen to you he was a jerk"
"no lilly, remember im woody. Im always here to save the day!"
she chuckled and I kissed her forehead before braking the hug. "here take my jacket it's cold."
Then my mind raced to a time just before xfactor. We were hanging out at her house. And we hadn't really said much before she turned and stated "liam, don't ever leave me."
"of course, not I owuldnt dream of it baby cakes!"
"im being serious liam. Before I was the only one who knew how awesome you are, now everyone is gonna know and they are gonna all want you! Just don't forget me ok.?"
It hurt thinking of it again. How could I ever forget my lilly. "ill always be there for you Lilly. Remember im your woody and no one else can replace that."
Niall - LIAMMMM! EARTH TO LIAMMM!
"what niall why are you yelling!"
Niall - "you were just siting there for like ten minutes with this stupid grin on your face! Completely in a trance!"
'sorry I was just thinking about the old days before xfactor."
Zayn -"yeha I miss those, but I wouldn't change a thing"
Louis - "guess im stuck with you blokes!"
'hhahaha don't lie louis you know you love me!"
I see another text from lilly
.liam, this isn't gonna work, to much time apart to make up for! Skype noW! Bring th boys if you want!.
"you guys wanna skype lilly?" I ask like it's no big deal. I mean it shouldn't be they all have met her before but. I don't think I can keep this just friends thing anymore. I need to know that no one else will try to take her, and that I can call her mine.
I log onto my computer and open skype.
Ringgg... rinnng... rinnnggg...
Finnaly she answers but she isn't on the screen it is just her room. "LILLY" louis yells out.
"hii louis im here just give me a sec!" I hear her voice and instantly my heart starts to race.
I notice she is listening to music, like always, currently American secrets by Parachute is playing. I can hear her singing along and I just smile. Her voice isn't the best, but its so pure and simple. I love it. Soon she plops down onto her chair and she smiles from ear to ear as she yells "LIIIIIIIIAAAAAAMMMMMM!
my only man in the whole wide world! Who I love and haven't seen in forever! And who I miss! Oh my gawdd! Do you realize how long it has been. You suck as a best friend I haven't seen you over a year! Do you know how many times I have just sat up at night wishing you were there!" her smile is still there but a small tear rolls down her cheek. I laugh "noooo don't cry im here now. And ill be home soon!" she leans forward and kiss the screen and then wipes her eyes. I do the same as I kiss the screen. The boys laugh but I don't care.
Lilly - "soo boys what is new"
Niall- "well I found out that I enjoy cheese in a can. And I really like American accents" as he wiggles his eyebrows. Lilly just giggles and harry chimes in "yeah I like Americans too! And I heard that you like movies!"
Lilly - "umm harry everybody likes movies!"
Louis - "well then we should all hang out when we are back and have a movie day!"
A squeal escapes her lips before she exclaims "yes liam can we!?"
"I don't want to share you! Youre mine only!...ok no...you are not allowed to pull that face..no im not looking. If im not looking I cant see it!"
Lilly - "but liammm" she whinned pulling the puppy dogs eyes on me, not fair! "liamm if you love me!
I slightly open my eyes and I cant, I cant take that look its so sad. "Fine! I guess I will share my best friend in the whole wide world with you guys."
All the boys and lilly cheer and chant "movie night with lilly!"
The boys say there goodbyes and now it is just me and lilly.
We talked a little but now I can tell she is getting tired and so am i. "lilly?"
"yes liam?" she yawns.
"I cant wait to see you, ive missed you so much."
"me too liam" she is leaning against her bead and her eyes are closed and she looks so peaceful as a tear falls down. "mee too."
"go to bed lilly youre tired."
"no, can you just stay on till I fall asleep?" she sounds soo little. I just wish I was there so I could wrap her up and make everything ok. "anything you want lilly, id do it, you know that."
"love you woody" and within 10 minuites she was sleeping I closed my laptop and went to bed. I cant wait to see her. But how will I tell her.
The only reason ive lasted the past couple of months is knowing I would get to see her soon. I miss her. "I think im in love with lilly." I whisper to myself before I drift off to sleep.
