Long Way Home

Chapter 17

For the portion of the flight where I'm not sleeping, I stare out the window.

Calum is next to me, with Michael next to him. Luke (Unwillingly) sat by himself.

Since we were still slightly popular, we still sat in first class.

Calum tapped my arm. "Are you excited to see Niall again?" He teases, trying to wink.

I roll my eyes. "Shut up Cal."

"You are! Mikey, Avery has a crush!"

"Calum!" I yelp, covering my ears. Luke looks over at me, as does Michael, an emotion flickering across both of there faces I couldn't define.

Basically, Niall and I had a little fling.

"Avery! You're here!" I heard someone call from behind me.

Spinning around, I saw Ashton sprinting towards me. "Ashton!"

He wasn't alone though, his bandmates were at his heels, One Direction behind them.

Before I could prepare myself, I was engulfed in a group hug, and then, we were falling down.

I had met One direction once before, about 8 months ago.

"Stop! You're gonna kill her!" Liam joked, standing up and pulling Louis with him.

"But we haven't seen her in forever!" Calum whined.

"Yeah and she's my sister!" ashton said, helping me up. "Are you okay Avery?"

I brushed the nonexistent dust off my wrinkled flannel. "Fine, just feeling a little violated, that's all. Which one of you scumbags touched my boob?"

"Avery Irwin!" Ashton gasped, swatting my arm.

I laughed, and ruffled his hair. "I'm being serious. Was it you mister Clifford?"

Michael blushed. "Well...I would...never."

I rolled my eyes, and leaned over to the boy closest to me (other than Ashton). "I think we found the culprit."

The boy, which happened to be Niall, let out an adorable giggle. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Why thank you, kind sir!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms around him.

Laughing, he stuttered a "anything for you!"

"Do you know what's happening?" Luke asked, leaning over to talk to Zayn.

"Not at all. Ashton? Your sister is freaking us out. But Niall seems to be enjoying it." Zayn joked.

Sending him a glare, Niall let go of me and took a step back, blushing.

"Oh little Nialler is blushing!" Harry said.

"Ah don't tease him." I said, running s hand through my hair. "Now whose ready to have some fun?"

(3 days later-still a flashback)

"HELLOO?" I called down the empty corridor. "Ashton? Michael? Lukey? calpal? Hazza Bear? Lili? Zayn? Boobear? NIALL?"

"What?" I heard a voice call back. Then footsteps coming closer. "Aves are you okay?"

Rolling my eyes at the weird nickname I had for most of my life, I saw Niall come around the corner. "Fine. Just bored and I can't find the pool."
