You were one of Liam’s closest friends, the one who was there from the very beginning, even before the X Factor. He completely found comfort in you, and made sure you were at every concert of One Directions, and when they broke up, every solo show

You were mostly well respected among his fandom as well, which he made sure of. Even Louis, Harry, Niall and Zayn loved you and found purpose in you. You kept Liam grounded, and you knew him best

Now you were at a show backstage for the LP1 promotion tour, and you could tell something was off with him, but he greeted you the same regardless, his smile filling his face and causing the signature crinkles under his eyes

“you’re here! Oh you’re gonna love tonight, it’s gonna be amazing.”
