I Wish (Liam Payne Love Story)

Chapter 2

I looked up to find Niall shouting at me.

"Oh, I got, erm, robbed... Some pigeons attacked me and took the order. To make it up to you I'll take you out to lunch," I said quickly.

"Fine, that was a complete lie, but I get food so I don't care," Niall grimanced.

"Boys we are going to Nandos!" I shouted and three other boys looked up from the coach.

(On the way to Nandos)

"So Liam, what about that girl," Harry said cheekly.

I glared at him, I had completely forgot he was around when I talked about Gale.

"She's very sweet," I replied.

The boys whistled, and I blushed.

"LIAM IS BLUSHING,"Louis shouted. The boys started laughing.

"Why don't you invite her to lunch,"Zayn said."I mean you got her number, right?"

I nodded my head yes.

"THEN INVITE HER TO LUNCH,"they all said at the same time.

"Fine," I smiled as I looked through my contacts, and dialed her number.

"Hello," I heard a weak voice said.

"Gale? Is that you," I asked, it didn't sound like the happy girl I walked home with.

"Liam? Uh yeah this is she," she sniffled.

"Is everything, alright?" I asked. The boys looked up at me and raised their eyebrows, I held up one finger telling them to hold on.

"Um, yeah... What do you need?"

"Well... I was wondering if you'd like to meet us at Nandos..."

"Us? Meaning more than one?"

"Yes, the boys. Zayn, Niall, Harry, and-"

"LOUIS!"Louis shouted into the phone.

I heard that wonderful laugh, and I smiled. At least she's laughing.

"Um sure! Let me just clean up a bit, and I'll meet you there." She said.

"Alright, see you then!"

I smiled to myself, and met the boys' gazes.

"Liam gots a girl!" Harry laughed.

"Mhm, he's gettin' some tonight," Zayn pitched in.

"Guys, calm down she's just a friend," I said.

I met Louis's gaze. He nodded at me and mouthed,'Don't get attached.'

Yeah, but it's too late.

 Gale's P.O.V

I hung up the phone, and smiled for a bit. Liam Payne just invited me to lunch, this has to be a dream. I got off of my bed and looked at my reflection in my bathroom mirror.

"Uh, I look like a total wreck," I mummbled to myself. My eyes were all red and puffy from crying, my cheek was till a bit red from where my dad slapped me, and my hair is a total mess. I cannot meet One Direction like this.

I heard a knock at the door.

"Gale, you in there?"

I walked out the bathroom, and into my bedroom. "Depends who it is," I said.

"It's Jason," the voice said behind the door.

"Okay, well I am in fact here."

"Can you let me in?"

I sighed, and opened the door. The last thing I want is to hear a speech from my older brother.

"Gale, dad is downstairs crying. What happened," my brother asked.

I looked into my brother's blue eyes. His light brown hair was a complete mess, probably from running. It's hard to believe that I'm actually full blooded related to him. He and I looked nothing alike. I'm 5'1 and he's 6'2. He ended up with blue eyes while I got dark brown.

"Gale?"

Broke out of my thoughts and sighed.

"Dad and I got into an argument. I'm letting it pass. Also you have to go now," I said as I tried to push him out.

"Woah there little girl. What's the rush?"

"I'm going out! Just leave!"

"Not until you tell me the full story!"

"Jason, get out! I need some space!"

"No!"

"GET. OUT." I finally managed to push Jason out.

I slid down my door, and went down to the floor. I buried my face in my hands, and then I looked up.

I need to find something to wear.

About thirty minutes later I picked out some dark blue skinny jeans with a loose fitting biege shirt that says Paris on it, paired off with a necklace with a blue feather on it, and light brown boots. Seems alright.

I walked into my brother's room and sighed. It was such a mess.

"Jason, we moved in like a month ago and you still have boxes!" I called out.

I saw my brother's head pop out from his closet.

"What are you doing in my room? I thought you were mad at me," he said.

I walked over to him. "I was just stressed, plus I need a ride."

"Knew it,"he mummbled."Where to?"

"Nandos..."

"Fine, but on one condition."

I frowned," Which is?"

"Tell me what happened between you and Dad on the way there."

"Fine."

And with that said we got into his dark blue Mustang, and I explained everything.

Liam's P.O.V

"Ready to order?" Our waiter asked.

"Um, no sir. We're waiting on someone," I said before Niall opened his mouth.

The waiter nodded his head and left. Niall pouted.

"So explain this Gale girl to us," Zayn said.

"Well she is pretty short, but it's really cute-"

"Uhhm. You said CUTE,"Harry laughed.

"You think her shortness is cute?" Niall laughed and joined in.

"Well it is! Uh never mind. You'll get to meet her," I sighed.

All the boys looked up, and I followed their gaze. There stood Gale, looking even more beautiful than this morning.

I stood up and hugged her. She stood there awkwardly at first, but returned the hug.

"Boys, this is Ms Gale Montgomery," I said as I introduced her.

They all stood up and greeted her. Harry and Zayn shook her hand, Niall smiled and waved, and Louis went for a full on bear hug.

"Hello Gale," Louis shrieked.

"Hello, Louis," Gale mimicked.

They both looked at each other and just burst out laughing. Immediate best friends, I can tell.

We all sat down and Gale took the seat inbetween Niall and I.

"So Gale tell us more about yourself," Louis said trying to make conversation.

"Well, what would y'all like to know," she flashed that brilliant smile, and the boys soon found a new best friend.
