   None of us wanted to sleep yet, so instead we stayed up together and spent the last few hours talking in the living room. I plan to move my stuff over to this house tomorrow because what's the point in me staying with my parents when all of my friends are here?

   I feel like my mind blanked for an hour or so because all of a sudden it's like my brain woke up and I realise we're on the beach, laying in the sand in our clothes, watching the sky change colours as the sun rises from behind us on the East.

   Me, Emma, Liam, Zayn, Louis, Niall and Harry were left by the others around three this morning after Maria and Kath got tired. Maria finally found her voice half an hour after meeting the boys and it's like they were old friends with the way she was talking to them. Zayn and Louis were with Mikey and J the whole time so they didn't spend as much time with the rest of us.

   I'm sitting between Harry's legs, my back pressed to his chest as he leans back on arms.

"Okay now that we're all in a peaceful mindset, what are you guys doing here?" I ask the boys because we haven't gotten a chance to talk alone all night.

"Came to see you." Zayn says from beside me.

   I stop looking out at the sea and instead look to my right, Louis' head in Zayn's lap and his feet in Liam's. Next to Liam is Niall and Emma, Niall's arm around her shoulders as she leans her head on him. The sight brings a small smile to my face.

"You just got done with first leg like two days ago, how come you came here?" I ask because there's no way they got off that easily. That's not how it works with their management at least.

They all stay silent until Liam speaks up. "We're just tired."

The way he says those words hurts my heart.

"Essentially, we ran away." I feel like I've heard those exact words from Louis before, who brings light to the somewhat tense atmosphere we were just in for a moment, much like the sun bringing light to the previously dark sky.

"Where do people think you are?" I rest my head back on Harry's right shoulder and shut my eyes.

"I don't know but management is pissed." Louis laughs.

"Thalia has been calling me nonstop I had to turn off my phone." Harry's chest vibrates as he speaks behind me.

"Me too." Zayn and Louis say at the same time.

"Soulmates." I open my eyes and look at the two of them.

"Shut the fuck up." Lou says to me.

"Hey, that's not nice." Liam scolds him.

"You're not nice."

"I think baby boobear is sleepy." I smile as his head snaps up to look at me the second the old nickname leaves my lips.
