The Only Exception // l.p.

Chapter 1

"No. I'm going. You're gonna drive me." I started unwrapping my hands. "I'm gonna hit the showers while you're gonna put the equipment away." Jake rolled his eyes as I handed him my wraps. My feet carried me to the right as Jake's carried him to the left.

"Has anyone every told you that you're a bitch?" There was a smile in Jake's tone that I picked out easily.

"I'm sure whimps that are whipped have," I grinned as I walked into the showering room. My iPod dock was sitting where I usually have it, so I grabbed my iPod and plugged it in. The only songs I had on it was Eminem. Judge me or whatever. I don't fucking care.

I stripped of my training clothes as Till I Collapse started to come on. The clothes were almost drenched in sweat, and my hair was the same. I hadn't gotten any sleep at all last night and it was starting to take affect on me. Then again, I usually never sleep at night when there's a big fight coming up.

Oh, I never introduced myself. I'm Bambi, but I go by Bam. Bambi is just to girly. Girly doesn't describe me. At all. Girly means obsessing over people that you'll never have a chance with, wearing the color pink every day, talking about boys. I could go on forever, but that would just waste everything.

Try to call me Bambi, you'll end up with a few broken ribs, a broken arm, maybe a broken leg, and a definite bloody broken nose. I'm the toughest fighter out there. I've been fighting ever since I was nine. Yeah I said it. Nine. There a damn story behind it too. Depending on if you're girly, it's not a good one.

You see, something happened eight years ago. It caused me to become a sarcastic, cold hearted, headstrong, strong, bad ass bitch. I went from an innocent sweet little nine year old to that in a split second. What caused it?

Love did.

***Liam's POV***

I looked over at Niall and slung my arm around his neck. He laughed and then looked back into the crowd. "Kiss you once now I can't leave! Cause everything you do is Magic! But everything you do is Ma-ah-ah-gic. Dada da dada da da da da!" Everyone sang the last line of the last song for our tour.

"Goodnight everybody!" I yelled into the mircophone as I waved. The fans started screaming, and some waved back. I laughed and walked off stage, the lad's following. "That was amazing!" I said as I started to take my plad shirt off once we were in the dressing room.

"My words exactly." Harry laughed as he took off his blazer. Zayn and Louis were carrying on easy conversation that Harry soon joined. That left Niall and I too talk. He walked over to me, already dressed.

"Hey mate." I said as I put my pants on and looked into the mirror to see if I was good.

"Hey. Got any plans while we're on break?" I smiled at Niall through the mirror.

"Yeah. I'm actually going to stay here. It seems so cool." Niall looked a bit sad once I told him that. "What's got my favorite leprechaun down?" I said as I grabbed my phone and walked out with Niall.

"Everyone else is either staying over at someone else's flat or they're staying with their girlfriend. It's like they don't want to hang out with me." Niall shoved his hands in his front pockets and looked at the ground.

"Niall, why don't you go home for a few weeks and then we'll hang out together." I looked down at the lad who was now smiling at me. "I mean it. Does it sound good to you?" He nodded furiously causing me to laugh.

"Thanks Liam! You're the best friend I could ever ask for!" Niall beamed as he hugged my neck tightly. I was taken aback but after a few seconds we hugged back. We were out side in the chilly New York air waiting for a Taxi.

A yellow cab pulled up in front of us. "I'll text you the details in a few days." I said as we got into our taxi. I had to scoot over so Niall could fit. Not calling him fat, just didn't want him to risk getting hit.

"Where to boys?" A lady asked nicely. I smiled at her and I looked at Niall.

"Take us to this address," I replied as I handed her a piece of paper. She nodded and started driving. Niall sat in the back of the cab, and was on his phone scrolling through Twitter. I saw him smile occasionally, and I knew that he was reading some things about him that were good. There was still a vibe in him that showed he was sad though. I sighed. "Niall. Why don't you just stay with me the entire break. We can stay at your mums house some, and then we can stay at mine, and then some in New York."

"Oh, nah I'm good though! Uhm, I'm actually gonna go to Starbucks before I get to the Hotel." Niall started acting weird, and gave me a small smile. "Uh, driver. Can you drop me off at the nearest Starbucks?" The lady smiled and nodded immediately taking a right. I held onto something to keep me in my place.

"Are you sure mate? I mean you really wanna go to Starbucks first? We c-"

"Liam, I'm positive." Niall cut me off just to reassure me. He raised his eyebrows and I sighed as the car stopped.

"This is you're stop Niall." the woman in front said.

"Thanks." he replied as he got out and walked into the coffee shop.

"Same place for you?" she asked looking at me through the rear view mirror. I nodded and took my phone out and got on Twitter. There was a little blue circle under Connect and Me. Knowing that they'd never go away, I read through my mentions. Fans asked me to follow them, told me they loved me and then some people told me hat they hated me. Rolling my eyes, I looked my phone back and looked out of the window. There was people walking down the sidewalks talking on phones. Some carried buisness bags, some shopping bags. It was about noon and the sun was bright.

I noticed the hotel was just a few seconds away so I got the money ready. "How much do I owe you?" I asked opening my wallet.

"Thirty-six dollars and fourteen cents." She replied and I handed her the money. I gave her thirty-seven.

"Keep the change." I told her as I got out of the car and shut the door. As I went to turn around I was knocked to the ground along with someone else. He cussed under his breath and got up. He held out a hand and I took it. "I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." He smiled at me and released my hand. The boy had dirtyish blonde hair and green eyes.

"Eh, don't mention it." The boy shrugged his shoulders and thats when I realized he was carrying boxing gloves.

"Is there a practing gym around here?" I asked and he furrowed his brows. "For boxing."

"Oh yeah. I can give you the address if you want." I nodded and pulled my phone out and got on the Notes app. While he typed away, I had this feeling in my stomach. I hadn't felt it since before I tried out for the X Factor in 2010. "Here you go." He said as I took my phone from him.

"Thanks," I replied as I walked into the hotel and made way to my room. I knew what I was doing every morning.

I was gonna practice my boxing.
