Chapter 22:
Niall’s POV
Finally! Out of this town and on to bigger and better things, I don’t know how the rest of the lads fooled their parents but my mom was easy I said I was going to my cousin’s house in London for a summer visit. Her name is Claudia and she’s like the coolest family member ever, I called her a told her to cover for me whenever mom called and she said it was fine. We board the train and are sent into one the compartment rooms; it’s a 3 day trip and its 2 rooms, a guy room and a girl room for Gabi and Meli. It was supposed to be 2 guy rooms but since the girls tagged along I couldn’t do much about it, not that we don’t trust each other it’s just girls need their space so we let them stay together.
We all sit around in our room for almost the whole morning planning what we’re going to do. I see Harry entwine fingers with Meli but rest his head on Lou’s shoulder. Lou tenses but quickly shrugs it off; I can’t help but feel jealous not of them, but the love Harry has, both Lou and Meli are crazy about him and I’m here eating chocolate cake at 11:30 in the morning. I look over to Liam and see him fixed on a map of London, I can’t wait to get there, not only for the clothes and food but because Liam has no idea what I have planned. Yeah Nicole kind of lied to him about her past 3 years and having a boyfriend but I’m sure he’ll fall for her over again either way, right? I wrote them a song and it’s going to be amazing I just want to see the look on his face when he gets to see her after all these years. My eyes take another turn over to Zayn his eyes focused on Gabi, they are a couple now and have been staring at each other for hours. I feel like Liam and I are the only sane people but then again that’s what love does to you, makes you go crazy…
I decide to get out of the room before I say something stupid like “I love you” just because I feel lonely. I bump into a girl making her drop her ipad, I see pictures of anime on it and it’s also open to her facebook account, Mariel that’s her name. Before I could even see her she runs off not asking me for her ipad back, she probably thought she had put it back in her bag. I chase after her into another train cart but all I catch is a glimpse of what seems like black hair on the other side. She has an amazing taste in music, Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, Wonderwall by Oasis, some Glee covers, Gangnam Style it’s all in there, and it’s exactly like my iPod. I don’t look into her photos or snoop around her things, I know I wouldn’t like that if I lost my phone or something like that so just take it back to the room with me and maybe I’ll see her later on. At least I hope I do, the only other person I’ve had so much in common too was Liam so maybe I can meet someone else, maybe even become friends, even maybe something more…
‘Niall!-Ni-Nialler?’ I hear someone yell and I can tell its Liam. I run into to the room and see Zayn and Lou pin Li down to the floor as Harry waves a metal spoon in his face. In case you didn’t know Liam has a spoon phobia and he gets really scared and depressed when he touches or is near one. I quickly charge towards them throwing the ipad on the spare chair, I shove Harry and good distance and wrap myself around Liam so the spoon doesn’t get anywhere near him. After what seemed like days the lads finally give up and I look up from the floor to see the coast is clear. Liam looks up and thanks me.
‘Umm… Ni I’m okay now’ he says as I realize our faces are inches apart ‘Thanks’ I slowly get up and blush.
‘Sorry Li, wasn’t paying attention’ he pats my back and nods as he goes to get some food. I go back to the ipad and decide to look through some pictures. My current mission: finding this Mariel girl before the train hits London.
Louis POV
This trip is amazing! Niall may be crazy but this exactly what I needed some time away from that pathetic town. If only I could get time away from Haz and Meli, they’re constantly kissing and cuddling, sure I said I’m through with Harry but he keeps pulling strands of my hair and leaning his head on my shoulder. I honestly don’t know what to think; he’s with her but fancies me? No that’s stupid! He’s probably just trying to calm me down, and let me know everything’s alright, little does he know he’s the one causing my moods.
