From 2010- Goodbye 2011
2011
Part 16
Tumblr media Tumblr media
18th December 2011 London
Nervously I jump around on the spot hearing thefans all scream just as the VT comes on introducing us
"Ok huddle" Liam says with his arms out. We all huddle together "we are only ever going to get one first show. Let's make this count. I know we're all nervous, but let's go out there and just have a good time. Let's smash it'
"Let's go!" Harry yells making me laugh as we all run on stage holding our microphones and immediately Na Na Na starts playing. After our first song we then sing Stand Up then Wish "Good evening London!" Harry says at the end of the song "t'night is the start of our tour so we want you to sing as loud as ya can t'night. When we first got together we spent a lot of time at my house with a guitar around the fire singing some of our favourite songs. So that's exactly what we're gonna do f'you right now"
Finally it's time for our little medley/solo songs. I sit down between Harry and Zayn. First up is Zayn with I Got A Feeling, then Niall sings Stereo Hearts. As usual I do the high harmony while singing. Next up is Louis with Valarie, then it's Liam with Torn. Finally is my turn with I Wanna Dance With Somebody
"Clock strikes upon the hour" as I start singing I get to from my seat and walk towards the front of the stage "And the sun begins to fade. Still enough time to figure out. How to chase my blues away. I've done alright up 'till now. It's the light of day that shows me how. And when the night falls, loneliness calls" I turn to look at the boys smiling "Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody. With somebody who loves me" the boys then all join in "Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me" Harry and Zayn place their arms around my shoulders
“think we should do it one more time don't you?" Niall says
"This time put your hands in the air and clap along" Zayn shouts and we sing the last part of the song acapella.
Tumblr media
19th December 2011 Westcliff-on- Sea
"I just want to say on behalf of all of us thank you for turning up here tonight your the best fans in the world and your also very good on Twitter" Zayn says into his mic
"We've actually been looking at our favourite tweets today" Liam says “Ah here they are"
"I traveled all the way from Yorkshire on a train to be here" Louis says
"Oooo I like this one. What have you asked for Christmas?" Liam says
"Another dog" I say into my making all the boys laugh
"And what did ya dad say?" Harry asks
"No" I pout "but I just think cookie is lonely and needs a friend"
"I swear your gonna have a zoo one day" Zayn
laughs into the mic
"This was my favourite tweet" I say and turn to the screen "bloody hell I think I need my eyes testing. Ok errrm 'what have you brought on tour with you from home? I've brought a few photos of my family and friends. Ni?" I look at Niall who responds
"Yeah same. Photographs and a few home comforts"
We go through some more tweets then move on to our next song.
Tumblr media
21st December 2011 Wolverhampton
"Ok so tonight is a very special night. Tonight we are in Liams home town. Everyone make some noise!" I shout into my microphone and the fans all start screaming "ok, so, because we are here, Liams family have come out. Where are they?" I ask scanning the front row when I finally see them waving"hi!” I wave back “we hope you guys enjoy the show"
"YN isn't your dad here as well?" Louis asks
"He is! And he brought my baby with him!'
"Cookie she means cookie" Liam says
"She's still my baby. Anyway she's probably asleep in my dressing room, either that or I'm going to find some presents when I go back" I nervously laugh, but I know cookie is most likely asleep
“Now because it's a special night we want to hear how loud you guys can be. So this side of the room you've got me and Harry" Louis says
"This side you've got me and Niall" Liam says
"And you guys have the best. Me and Zayn! Whooo! We’re so going to win”
"Ok ok pipe down YN” Niall says laughing
“Ok so we want to hear you scream as loud as you can. Ready?” Harry says “on 3. 1, 2, 3” Zayn and I pull a face and shake our heads
“We can do better than that can’t we?” Liam says “on 3”
“1, 2, 3” Zayn and I look at each other and smile
“Ok now let the best group go. Are we ready?” I ask and hear cheers
“Ok 3, 2, 1” the middle group scream as loud as they can
“Ok well clearly we won” I say turning to the boys
“m’not so sure” Harry replies
“Maybe we should just get everyone to scream that way we all win”
“Niall ever the pleaser” i mutter “fine. Ok we can all win, but only because you all know Zayn and I won. Ok ready! 3, 2, 1….. woah I think they could hear us half way across the globe!”
“The next song we’re going to sing is Up All Night” Niall introduces the next song.
Tumblr media
22nd December 2011 Manchester
“Ok guys the next song we got for you is one of the very first songs we recorded straight off the show” Niall says while I grab a drink. Harry hands me a towel
“Thanks I pant taking the towel from him”
“This is everything about you” the music then starts and Liam starts singing. During the chorus I find Alex standing in the front and sing to him. He blows me a kiss making me smile.
After Daniel does is guitar solo it’s my turn to sing
“And you have always been the only one I wanted. And I wanted you to know without you I can't face it. All we want to have is fun, but they say that we're too young. Let them say what they want” I sing going high at the very end and prolong the note while the boys start the chorus
“Give it up for YN!” Niall says as I end the note then join in with the final chorus.
We then run off stage to do a quick change. At this point I’m so used to changing in front of the boys and they are too. They respect me enough not to look. I check myself in the mirror
“Do you think I should go natural?”
“You want to go on stage nude?” Harry asks raising a brow at me
“No my hair” I laugh “I’m getting a little bored of the red hair”
“What is your natural colour?”
“Brown”
“Go for it you can always change it again right?” Zayn says
“Guys your needed back on stage” with that we run back on stage to sing Use Somebody.
Tumblr media
23rd December 2011 Manchester
“So, get out, get out, get out of my mind. And come on, come into my life I don't, I don't, don't know what it is. But I need that one thing And you've got that one thing” we sing and at the end Louis and Liam drag me to the ground making me squeal. I sit on the floor and look at the boys as they get up
“Seriously? Why?” I laugh. Niall puts his hands out and helps me up
“Sorry YN but we had to. It’s the last night of the tour for this year” Liam says
“Speaking of, we just want to say that we are having such a good time tonight, but non of this would be possible without our incredible band. So let’s give it up John on the keys, Josh on the drums, Sam on base and last but not least Dan on the guitar!” Louis introduces the band. Each one then playing the tune to What Makes You Beautiful
“Please give it up for our amazing band” Zayn shouts “and who knows we might come back to that song later”
“We definitely will” I laugh
“Now like Liam said. This is our final tour date for this year. Tonight we will be traveling home back for Christmas. So I want us to sing a Christmas song, are you guys down for that?”
“Depends on the song” Zayn says laughing
“I want all of you to sing along. Oh I wish it could be Christmas…” I point my microphone and the fans sing “ohh I wish it could be Christmas…. so let… for Christmas! Whooo that was amazing” I smile
“M’surprised you didn’ make that into a competition” Harry says then immediately regrets “wait no…”
“To late” I smile.

The Fall of Cordonia
Chapter Four
Trigger Warnings: Profanity, Gun Violence, Death, Sexual Content.
A/N: This came to my attention a few days ago. This series is not a spoiler for what happens in the real TRH book. I would demand every diamond I ever spent back if that happened 😬
I will also be in hiding from a certain fic writer who shall remain nameless, after this. I can explain 🤷
Tumblr media
"Leeeooooo!!", Riley screamed as a struggle between life and death ensued over her shattered and torn body. Like a thief in the night, death entered that room with a sickening crack of the neck, taking its prisoner with him back to the fiery pits of hell.
Bradshaw slumped his lifeless body across the queen, momentum dropping him to the floor below, his miserable soul quickly extinquished. At the same time, Leo's bright blue eyes lost their color as he instinctly glanced over to look at his younger brother one last time. There were no words, just the unspoken, I love you's,  between them. This was the one final bonding moment between Leo and Liam, before he fell back onto the bed.
Riley watched with horror as he stared blankly at her, jerking momentarily as his breath was literally sucked from his lungs.
Bastien was holding Liam up, literally and emotionally as he watched his older brother slip from his life.
He lowered a stunned Liam into his plush, leather desk chair; still reeling from the events that just occured in front of him.
Liam stood in disbelief from the watch tower, overlooking the empty square below, a heavy feeling pooled in his stomach. He didn't dare look at his brother for fear he would do or say something he'd regret.
"Come on little brother, say something"
"What do you want me to say Leo? Thank you for running away from your duties? Thank you for leaving me to pick up after the mess you are inevitably creating? No, wait...how about this...thank you for being so fucking selfish to ask me to give up my future so you can escape from your responsibilties and place the burden on me.....yes, Leo...how can I truly ever thank you? Is that what you want me to say?
"It's not like that and you know it....Liam, man...I'm not cut out for this shit, never have been".
"You"ve never even tried....the only two things you've ever cared about besides yourself is booze and pussy".
"Thats bullshit"
"You're right.....this whole thing is nothing but a big pile of bullshit and you're too coward to admit you have fucked me over."
"Liam...whatever you think of me, it doesn't change the fact that I"m not cut out for this life....but you.....you are.....you"ve always been"
Liam shakes his head furiously, his mood becoming more somber, "Then why do I feel like you just sucker punched me in the gut?"
Leo places a hand on Liam's shoulder, contemplating his words and actions carefully, "Because its a huge burden I've unloaded on you and I know that.....but shit, I've never doubted for a second, you're the man this country needs. Just say you'll do this".
With the weight of the world on his broad shoulders and trepidation in his voice, "I don't have a choice do I? If not me, then who?"
Leo hesitantly pulled his brother to him, wrapping his arms around him, clapping his back, "I hope one day... I can make you as proud of me, as you have always made me".
"I doubt that Leo".
Liam sank deep into his chair, loudly exhaling what little air he had been holding inside. He allowed the trickle of tears to flow as he thought about his brothers' sacrifice.....Riley is Liam's everything, Leo ultimately died to protect him.
He wiped away the moisture from his face and cleared the lump in his throat. There was no time to mourn; his wife was still trapped in that room of Bradshaw's palace and it was anyone's guess how she would get out.
"Sweetheart, I'm sending help. We have a rescue team in place with our allies and Bastien just informed me they will be there soon. Can you make sure the door is locked?"
The sound of his calming voice was the first time in 24 hours she felt something other than fear. With her attempt to sit up, she groaned loudly at the stabbing pain in her chest, she was positive her ribs were broken. "I can't", was all she could utter.
Riley nodded at Liam as he continued to reassure her everything was going to be okay, vowing to get her home to him. Everything that had happened played like a whirlwind in her mind. As silence took over the room, she heard the distinct sound of her baby crying and it caught her ear.
"Nikolas?"
Riley sat rocking a sleepy Nikolas in the nursery at Valtoria, fighting his sleep with excessive determination. Even through his very vocal, little tantrum, she couldn't help but chuckle as she noticed he looked exactly like  Liam when he's angry. That furrowed brow with the crease between his eyes, the way his face reddened and his nose scrunched up.
"My little prince, I love you sweet boy, but, that kind of cry only works on your father".
As Nikolas' lips started to quiver and with his voice turning hoarse, she, too, gave into him.
Riley lifted her 3 month old son to her shoulder, rubbing circles over his tiny back, basking in his sweet baby smell. She hummed a lullaby her late mother sang,  amazed it still clung to her memories since she was so young when she passed.
Nikolas lifted his tired head briefly and she soothed him back to her. His cries softened and he became heavier in her arms.
She could never thank Liam enough for this life he made just for her. The titles, the estate, the fancy balls, the lavish lifestyle was nothing, but, this little boy and Liam's love was all she needed or wanted.
The blast of distant gunshots ripped her back to reality. She didn't flinch;  feelings, fear, emotions, shock, there was nothing, as numbness took over.
The noise became louder and closer, yet, Riley remained in her position. She waited patiently, expecting the door to burst open any moment.
"Riley? What's going on?", Liam questioned frantically.
Riley didn't hear him, she sunk deep into a world of her own; one without pain, tears or bloodshed. A smile swept across her face as Liam begged her to speak back to him.
"Baby, look at me.....what's happening....please Riley, say something!".
She remained still, closing her eyes, humming Nikolas' lullaby to herself. She could see Liam in her mind, waiting on his table when she turned around and laid eyes on him for the first time. When she told him he was going to be a father and he cried in her arms. The first time he held his son and nothing else mattered in the world.
"Riley, my love.....I need you to speak to me".
The door knob began to twist erratically as sounds of chaos and struggle carried on outside;  shouts and blasts ringing in unisom.
"Riley?", Liam cocked his head watching his wife struggle with her mind; she was so calm and placid. He watched as the lights flickered and then shut off into complete darkness. The video feed lost its connection.
Riley didn't hear the door break down, she didn't see the flashlights shine on her face, nor, hear the heavy boots approach her, she was gone.
Strong hands gently shook her, then cautiously lifted her up from the bed, stepping over Bradshaw to carry her out of the room.
She steadily passed through the halls and corridors of the palace, surrounded by dozens of uniformed men and women.
"Maxwell? Is this heaven?"
"Rise and shine little blossom, you have a big day ahead".
"Max, I just want to lay here a little longer"
"I know that, but, when have I ever left you alone?"
Riley snickers, "true.....so you came to get me?"
"Not exactly....let's just say I'm here to watch over you. The good thing about where I am now is you can never get rid of me".
"Maxwell, will I ever see you again?
"Of course, but, not for a very long time....Riley, you have so many people counting on you right now. You have to go back and kick some ass. What's coming is so much bigger than Liam".
"There's more coming? ...Maxwell I can't do this".
"Sure you can".
"I love you Maxwell"
"I love you too Blossom"
Four days later....
Liam gathered the last of his documents and strolled from his office with fire in his eyes. Taking long strides, his black leather oxfords the only sound made as he walked alone down the long corridor.
He hung his head as he paused momentarily at the door of his quarters, his queen still recovering inside. Liam touched the door, in some way hoping to gather the strength the woman behind it may pass on to him.  Her screams of terror still waking her every so often. I promise love, I'm going to make this better for you, for Nikolas...for Cordonia.
Bastien met him at the top of the staircase; the head guard taking in Liam's appearance. He was dressed in the finest suit he owned, wearing the emerald cufflinks with the Cordonian seal, Riley gave him in Shanghai and his hair perfectly smoothed back.
He was nervous, as much as his father prepared him for the threat of enemies, Constantine had never faced anything like this. There was no one to turn to, he shouldered this responsibilty himself, not only as a King, but, as a father. He would be damned if he gave up now, remembering Leo's words to him, you're the man this country needs.
He took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I'm ready", he said confidently.
The palace was quiet, the destruction was apparent all around, the lights burning dimly and the eery presence of lives lost all around him.
He stepped into the throne room, attendees and press immediatly standing to their feet, no one uttering a word. He looked every bit the leader Cordonia needed right now, while inside feeling every bit a failure as a father and husband.
He took his place at the podium, there was no usual applause, no chatter, only sniffles and eager ears longing for reassurance from their monarch. Liam stood silent for the longest time, his people understanding of it, as he looked around the room, taking in each face.
What was left of the council gathered in the front row, his eyes following in a line of each member and those who left nothing but chairs behind. Bertrand who couldn't contain his tears as a rose sat in the seat next to him where Maxwell typically sat. Drake, his arm in a cast, head bandaged, with the most defeated look Liam had ever seen him wear. The empty seat of Olivia next to him, with a scarlett ribbon, a shell shocked Kiara, Emmaline sitting in place of Landon, a distraught Adelaide, a subdued Neville, Hakim, and the rest of the row void of its normal holders.
He brought a fist to his mouth, attempting to catch himself from allowing the emotions to overtake him.
He lowered his fist and rested it on the podium, clearing his throat, in preparation to address the council and nation.
"My fellow Cordonians and esteemed members of the council....Four days ago, tragedy struck our country and has affected each of us in ways no one could ever have envisioned. My heart and mind is with each one of you, even as I, too have suffered great personal loss. While I don't have all of the answers, I do know this....your monarch will not sit idly by and give in to the demands of those behind these attacks. King Bradshaw was just one element of this, it was discovered the recently deceased Princess of Monaco was also involved in harboring the Prince....my son, who has yet to be discovered. In the grand scheme of thing, those two were just pawns for another leader.
That is why, today, I am declaring war against Monterisso. Queen Amalas.....I know you are watching right now, so hear me when I say this.....I'm coming for you. There will be no place safe for you to hide.... and I daresay, I will win. This goes for anyone else involved in assisting her.
Our allies have remained in contact and have worked tirelessly to help save our kingdom. We are down right now, but, we have faced enemies before and have come through victorius...I have no reason to believe this time will be any different.
Now if you will join me in a moment of silence for those who we have lost".
Liam thanked the crowd, declining questions and eased his way into the front row, standing before Bertrand. He embraced him, knowing his attempts at comfort were in vain and there was really nothing he could say. He knelt down before Maxwell's empty chair, biting his lip, all the training in the world unable to hold back his emotions. Drake sidled beside him, kneeling down with his uninjured arm around Liam's back. The Three Musketeers, down to two.
He stood, and held Drake for what seemed like an eternity. Liam moved forward, picking up the scarlett ribbon from the next chair, clasping it in his hands, his jaw tensing as he dropped the ribbon back to it's place.
When he was finished, he left the room and headed back to his quarters alone. He loosed his tie as he made his way up the steps and to his bedroom. He stopped at the door as Riley turned to him, dismissing her nurse before shutting the door behind him.
"Is it done?", Riley questioned, holding Nikolas' stuffed bear in her arms.
Liam nodded, "It is".
He threw his tie on the bed and poured a finger of scotch, downing it all at once. He faced his wife once more, "We'll either win this my love.....or lose everything trying".
Monterisso
Amalas allowed the thin, dainty fingers of her companion to slip under her skirt, groaning with pleasure as two fingers swept between her wet folds.
The two women were enticed by the words coming out of Cordonia, laughing with one another over the supposed threat. Liam has never been alone, Amalas has known his every move and gesture for well over a year. Even now, she is still one step ahead of him.
She lays back on the sofa with her legs wrapped around the neck of the woman who has caught her affections. She swallows hard then moans loudly as the skilled tongue laps up her juices and slides into her dripping entrance . Pleasure begins to ripple through her body and she arches her back as a thumb rubs circles over her clit. She cries out, feeling her lower abdomen tighten, her core pulsing until she is met with her release.
Both woman fall back onto the sofa, breathing heavily, clutching one another.
"I do believe this day continues to get better", Amalas said while clutching the red hair of her companion.
"Shall we celebrate our victory further?"
"Olivia, I think I have something else in mind", Amalas replies as she reaches under the sofa, eager to unleash her next plan. "You should know, I do enjoy doing things on my own".
