Epilogue: 10 years later…

When I look back to being a teenager, I can't say I regret any of my choices. Not the partying, or running away to England. That particular decision was the best one I ever made. Liam didn't let me move out of his flat, so when the fall rolled back around, I just went to a nearby public school. I had to get a job obviously, and at least attempt to pay for some things, so I worked as a cashier in a nearby grocery store. Liam, however, refused to let me spend a cent, so I ended up saving all my money. Looking back, he was right, after high school, I went to Manchester University, on a partial scholarship, and studied to become a councilor. No one really understood why, I had never been one to help people I didn't know, but I just wanted to prevent the brick wall between parents and children.

I had lived with that wall for so long, and knowing that it could be prevented motivated me. It's funny; my personal brick wall only disappeared after I moved to London. I started talking with both my parents more often, and oddly enough, we got along better than we ever had before. Maybe the distance had a role in it, but I think it was just because of Liam's positive influence. Regardless, that wall slowly disappeared, and I wanted to help teenagers do the same with their own parents.

I graduated four years later and got a job at a high school. It didn't last long though, because the boys were still gaining popularity and wanted to be closer to recording studios, so we moved to LA. I had no choice but to agree and so, I had to quit my job. Before I could even begin job hunting, Liam told me not to bother, and he was partially right, we were going to be travelling a lot, but I couldn't waste all that education and oddly enough, a part of me really wanted to help. So I did the only thing that would let me be close to Liam, and work: I opened a website.

It was just a small little self- help site, but it grew and soon, I opened a building entitled, "Teen's Help". I guess it was kind of like Kids Help Phone, but in person. I assume it's because I was Liam's girlfriend that it became so popular, but soon, I had a chain "Teen's Help". I sold off the company, grossing 3.5 million dollars last year because life was getting very hectic, and I found that I had less and less time to work.

Time travels so quickly, I would never have imagined 16 year old bratty me walking down the aisle in a white dress, to marry a boy like Liam Payne. Everyone's tears were spilling before the vows were even read, but it was when Liam said, "I do," that even my eyes began to water.

And then the kiss: The most amazing, soft kiss I've ever had. I had kissed Liam plenty of times, but this was different. As cliché as it sounds, this kiss send electricity though my veins, my whole body came alive. His warmth and scent surrounded me, and I swear, I felt a little bit dizzy.

As he pulled back, he whispered, "I love you, Mrs. Payne"

My life was perfect; and I knew that I'd be with Liam until death did us part.

END.
