Chapter 2
Liam's POV
Friday
Finally a break from London. And time with my sisters and family. Everything has just been crazy since, well, since The X-Factor. Us guys have been non stop. It's exhausting. And I needed a break. My family needed a break, which is why I was more then ready to hop on a flight to a tropical oasis. I booked us all for a week at Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort, an all inclusive place so my family can get whatever they want, whenever they want. Flights were easy to get, it was a long flight from London, but it's rainy here, I need a beach, needed something.
My family came to London yesterday from Wolverhampton so we could all leave together in the morning. I couldn't wait to just be with my family and not have any interruptions. We've been going non stop since 2010, and when we do get together people are following us, asking for my autograph, trying to take pictures, I feel like I don't even know my family anymore.
“LIAM!” Ruth yells as I look up from packing.
“What?” I ask, re-folding some shirts to fit in the space.
“I've been trying to get your attention for like five minutes, what the hell are you doing?” She asks as she leans against the door jam.
“Just excited for this holiday, Ruth. Its been such a long time that we've all been together without interruption, I just need this.” I said as I throw the shirt in my suitcase and sit on the bed running my fingers through my hair.
Ruth walks over and grabs the shirt I threw to fold it.
“You should take more holidays. Even if it isn't with us, you need more breaks.” She states as she places my shirt on the top. “Now, what's left for you to pack? Mum ordered us some pizza so that should be on it's way, and were leaving early tomorrow so you should really get some sleep.” That's Ruth for you, always looking out for everyone.
“Just some shoes and my swim trunks.” I state.
“No sunscreen?” She asks with a giggle. “Wouldn't want the famous Liam Payne to get a sunburn!”
“I figured mum packed some, she always does.” As I lay back and throw my hands on the bed.
“Well you know mum. There, all finished. Now lets go join the others and wait for pizza.” She stretches her arm out for me to take and pulls me off the bed.
I love my family, always get me out of my funk. Despite always wanting to be a singer, I never quite prepared myself for this extreme popularity. It's harder than I thought. I feel like I never get a break, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Hopefully this time will help me out.

The next morning (Saturday)
----------------------------------------
“Lets go!” My mum yells as dad throws another bag in the back of the cab.
“Karen, relax, its 3 o'clock in the morning, our flight doesn't leave until 7:15, we will be fine.” My dad, Geoff, states, trying to get my mum to relax. She always gets like this, anxious, ready to go.
We pile in the two taxi's that are pulled up on the curb, nice thing about leaving so early is that people won't be awake to notice us. I'm sure their will be more people at the airport, but usually people leaving on a Friday don't notice me that much, a lot of business people. After we check in at the airport, we make our way through security and find our gates. I plop down on the chair and throw my backpack on the floor. Well, place it on the floor, it has my laptop and other expensive electronics in it so I try to be careful.
“I'm going to grab breakfast, Ruth, you want to come with?” My sister Nicola asks. My stomach was rumbling, but I was so tired. Even though everyone went to bed early last night, I tossed and turned all night and only got a few hours of sleep.
“Can you get me some food?” I asked. “Just a breakfast sandwich or some fruit?” I ask again.
“Sure thing brother.” Nicola says with a smile. I reach for my card but she puts her hands up, “It's breakfast Liam, I think I can handle it.” Her and Ruth link arms and head towards the fast food section of our terminal.
“So Liam, what have you been up to?” My dad asks, Mum is busy looking at the airplanes coming in and taking off.
“Just writing music, recording our new album, photo shoots, interviews, the usual.” I explain like it's a normal thing. Not a typical 9-5 job, but I really do love it.
“Sounds busy. I'm thankful for you working so hard, we've been looking forward to this holiday for a while. You're mum is excited.” My dad says as he rubs his hands together and looks down.
“I'm happy to do anything for my family.” It's the truth, I really would do anything for them.
----------------------------------------------------
After we board the plane and snuggle into our “pods” I pull out my laptop, thankful for free wi-fi on the plane. I had us all in first class, like I've said, I'd do anything for them. I check my e-mail's, it seems as though I can never get through all of them, mess around on twitter, laugh at all the crazy fans some of them tweet me hundreds of times a day. Try to write some new lyrics but nothing is coming to mind. I look over my shoulder, mum, dad, Ruth, and Nicola are all sleeping. I finish my water, close my laptop and decide to give it a go. Its quite a long flight from London to Puerto Rico. Then another flight to Aruba.
Before I knew it, I was being shaken awake by the air hostess alerting me that were approaching the runway. That went fast. I'm feeling more refreshed, but I could always go for another nap. As were leaving the plane, we have to stop several times so I can take pictures with fans, listen to them asking me to follow them on twitter, quite a bit more people then I was prepared for, but we finally make it to our gate. I grab my phone and check twitter, I tried to remember their twitter names, but I could only remember one. Thankfully several have already posted their pictures of us on twitter, so it was easy to accomplish.
“Get off your phone.” Nicola commands.
“I'm just following people on twitter and checking things.” I explain while I scroll through my millions of mentions.
“Get off your phone Liam.” She commands again. “This is a holiday, quit working.”
“Knock it off Nic, your brother is paying for this holiday, if he wants to work, let him.” My mom stands up for me, I'll always be her little baby.
“It's not work mom, it's twitter. And he wanted to take this holiday with us to hang out with us, not to bury his face in his phone.” You can tell she didn't get enough sleep.
“I'm right here Nicola.” I state.
“Are you Liam?” She banters back to me.
“Would you two knock it off?” Ruth asks both of us, clearly frustrated with the two of us.
I shake my head, slip my phone in my pocket and look outside. I don't say anything until we are asked to board the plane to Aruba. By the time I get all settled, my family is asleep again, maybe they needed this vacation more than I thought.
I quick open up twitter again to see if anything has changed, not much. I snap a picture of myself and upload it.

I put my phone away and try to drift off to sleep, in just a few more hours we will be on holiday for the first time in a long time.
