Prologue

When Liam left for the X-Factor, I was torn. I wanted him to stay, but I didn't want to be the one that held him back from achieving his dreams. Liam was the one who protected me at school, and with him gone, I would be an easy target. My bullies made my life a literal living hell, worse off from the second Liam left. Liam leaving changed my life a lot, but I was about to find out just how much. Being a superstar's sister isn't easy. You have nothing in your life that's private anymore. Your life is basically known by the public; every move you make, every word you say, they know. I hate it, but I'd do it over again for Liam in a heartbeat. I'd do anything for my brother. My name is Athena Roze Payne, and I'm Liam Payne's twin sister. This is my story.
