Kate Cassidy EXCLUSIVE: Sharing Her Last Conversation with Liam Payne and The Real Story Behind Their Relationship

At first, it was so surreal. I would wake up every day and just, I would even say it to him. I'm not really a shy person. So I would say to him, I can't even believe me and you are together right now. Like I was a fan. I was a fan. I would always say these things to him. It's not like I would run into my closet and like, like scream out of excitement.

And it's just such an honor to be a part of your life.

It was amazing. something I've never experienced before in my life, of course. And it was definitely difficult, I'd say, in the beginning. I think also with boy bands and, you know, guy, like male pop stars, I think they have this fan base that, of course, so many girls are so protective over. And I understand that.

And I was like, I don't care what people think at all because I love you.
