This is Liam's AU where they meet in Virginia Beach. Enjoy:)
After tons of studying and test prep to get into a good college, Ruby had finally gotten a break. She was off to Virginia Beach to visit her grandmother. Her dad had offered the idea, and she had happily agreed. Ruby wanted nothing more than to enjoy a nice week off at Virginia Beach.
Liam was finishing up one last summer working in his step-father, Harry's, repair shop. He couldn't help but notice when his mother's van pulled up. Harry always gave him a ride home. Why was this time any different? "Are you staying late?" He asked Harry. He shook his head 'no' while wiping the grease off his hands. "How come mom's here?" Liam asked, wiping grease off his own hands. "And Claire and Cole?" He added spotting his brother and sister. "Why don't we go find out?" Harry suggested with a smirk on his face. "What's going on?" Liam asked, climbing into the backseat. "We're heading to Virginia Beach as celebration for you getting into college." His mother replied, glancing at him in the rearview mirror. "Really? Thanks you guys." Liam said enthusiastically. He loved going down to Virginia Beach with his family.
The first day there, Liam caught glimpses of this beautiful brunette girl walking around town. He could never work up the courage to go talk to her. It wasn't until his last day there, that hw saw her again. She had on a beautiful green dress, Liam imagined matching her eyes. He couldn't tell if it was true with her big sunglasses covering her eyes. And she was walking towards him. Towards him! 'Is it possible she's coming to talk to me?' He thought. "Get ready to lose." Harry said drawing Liam out of his thoughts. "No way. You and I both know I belong on the olympics." He replied sarcastically, making Harry laugh. Harry served the ball and Liam hit it. He had hit it! And it had landed on the girl's face,making her fall back. He took off running towards her.
Ruby was walking along the beach listening to her favorite song on her ipod, when she was hit in the face by a volleyball. She fell back from the impact. By the time she sat up there was a blond haired, blue eyed hottie standing over her saying something she didn't hear. "What?" Ruby asked, pulling out her head phones. "Can I buy you an ice cream?" The boy asked in a deep, southern accent. "Sure." Ruby answered. "I'm Liam, by the way." He said, helping her up. "Ruby." she replied. Liam took hwe to the pier and stopped at what just so happened to be Ruby's favorite ice cream parlor. "You know, I actually work at an ice cream shop in Salem." Ruby said. "Do you now? Well, I bet all the boys stop there." Liam said and made Ruby blush. "I'm starting college soon. I'm actually going to a University in Virginia. "Really? I wish I was. I've still got two more years to go." Ruby explained, emphasising by holding up two fingers. "There you are!" Said a boy looking very similar to Liam. "We're leaving soon if you don't start packing, I'm going to sell all your stuff." He said leaving. "Looks like I've got to go darlin'. Can I get your e-mail?" He asked. "How 'bout I do you one better? I'll give you my number." Ruby took Liam's phone and put in her number. They walked together to Liam's hotel, saying their good-byes when they got there. Liam surprised Ruby with a kiss before leaving. "I'm sorry." He said immediatly after. "No, it's okay." Ruby replied. And it was.
Liam was staring down at his phone, debating if should hit send. Cole reched over and hit the button for him. "Hey!" Liam shouted at his brother."Relax little bro. I just did you a favor."
Hi :)
It was a reply from Ruby. They talked the whole way home. About the little girl named Zu ahe was tutoring, about how Liam met his new roommate the previous week, and nicknamed him Chubs. They talked at everything and anything. Until there was nothing left to say, and prayed they would see each other again.
