My thoughts were washed off when I realized that Liam was holding my hand. Liam Payne from One Direction was holding my hand.

"I thought I was going to get crashed to death by those girls." Louis said, causing everyone, except me, in the lift to laugh.

"Yeah, but that was fun!" Harry said giggling to himself.

"No it wasn't." Niall and Zayn said harmoniously, giving Harry a very serious look.

Liam just laughed it off.

I was starting to think that they did not notice me until Harry spoke.

"Oh who is this beautiful lady over here?" He smiled looking at me.

"I knocked her over and she got injured so I'm bringing her back to apply some medicine for her." Liam answered.

"Oh…." The rest of the boys said cheekily and started to giggle.

Liam chuckled and shook his head as we got out of the lift and we walked until the end of the corridor.

When the door opened, Liam told me to go sit at the sofa while he was getting the first aid box.

Zayn, Harry and Louis went into their rooms and Niall sat on the sofa beside me, rested his legs on the coffee table in front of us and switched on the television.

He quickly put down his legs when he realized that I was beside him. Feeling kind of embarrassed.

"Hey, sorry about that." He blushed.

"Don't worry about it." I smiled, shaking my head.

"I'm Niall," He smiled and stretched out his hands.

"I'm Gracie." Shaking hands with him.

We chatted for awhile before Liam came with the first aid box and sat beside me.

"Bare with it, it's gonna hurt just a little." He dabbed the medicine on my injuries.

I frowned, because it hurt. But it was nothing compared to my 16 years living with this heart disease. There were times where I have to get 5 jabs a day and UV tubes were injected into my hands for a few days when I was admitted into the hospital.

I looked at Liam who was carefully and gently tending to my injuries.

Damn, this boy is beautiful.

Liam's POV

I carefully dabbed medicine and bandaged her palm and elbow. I was shocked when she kept quiet throughout it even though I saw her frown because I am sure it hurts a lot. Some other girls would be whining and screaming already.

She was so brave. But when I knocked into her just now on the streets, I had a feeling that this girl needed protection more than anyone else, which is why I decided to bring her back to tend to her injuries.

"Done." I said smiling and looked up.

Her face was so close from mine when I did. I looked into her brown eyes that was so innocent, confirming me that I needed to protect her, but I don't know why.

Gracie. Her name ran through my head from her conversation with Niall just now.

We stayed that way for a few seconds before Harry decided to walk out of the room naked, which he always did. I quickly cupped my hands over Gracie's eyes before she could see anything.

"Harry! There's a girl in here!" Niall threw a sofa cushion at him.

"But my boxers are over there!" He pointed to the sofa where his green boxers was.

Niall threw it at him and he went back into the room.

I uncovered her eyes and all three of us in the living room ended up laughing hysterically.

"Is this what always happens?" She laughs, obviously getting used to hanging out with us.

"Yeah, he's always and I mean always, naked. I guess he probably forgotten that there was a girl here today." I said laughing, not at the joke, but at Gracie's laughter.

She's beautiful.
