Chapter 13.

1 month later

There was 1 week left until the boys had to go on tour with One Direction and today was the day we were flying to London to meet them. I had never been out of Australia so it was exciting that i was going on tour with them.

Our flight was at 2 am which was way too early. Not to mention the fact that we had a lay over in Singapore, and that meant our flight was going to be 22 hours long and i was not excited.

'Calum', i gently brushed his hair away from his face, 'Cal, its time to wake up hun', he woke up and looked at the time on his phone, 12:30 am. 'We have to leave in half an hour', i said, he wiped his eyes and sat up, 'Scarlett, before we go. Can we go to your art room?', 'My what?', i had totally forgotten about my art room, 'Oh my art room!!! Yeah sure, but why?', 'Because i like looking at beautiful things. And the 3 most beautiful things in life are my mum, you and your art', he said in his musky morning voice, 'Well thank you, Cal', i smiled at him, 'Let's go then, Scar', he said holding out his hand, i loved how he called me Scar.

There we sat, for half an hour, just staring at the coloured walls and the paint splattered canvas'. We were broken from our silence when my alarm rang. '1 am. We have to go', i whispered, i got up and grabbed Calum's hand, we got our luggage and waited for the black van to show up.
'You excited?', Calum asked, 'Very', i replied, 'Isn't amazing how just a few months ago we were meeting in for the first time in Mr McAllisters office', he said, 'It's amazing how time flies', i reply.

Before anything else can be said the black van turns up and Luke opens the door to grab our suitcases, 'Hey lovebirds', he said, 'Hello Lucas', i replied, we got in the car and Calum fell asleep on me before the van even started moving. He was so cute when he slept though.

'Final Boarding Call for flight 182fh0 to London', the loud voice over the speakers woke me up. This was it, i was about to get on a plane and go explore the world. 'You ready?', i asked Calum after we found our seats. 'Very', he replied. My eyes closed before we even took off and i felt Calum's head rest on my shoulder as i drifted to sleep.

'Good morning passengers', i woke up and rubbed my eyes, 'We will be beggining our descent into Singapore so we ask that you prepare yourself for landing by placing your seat upright, locking in your tray table, lifting up your window shade and fastening your seat belt, we will be in Singapore for an hour so we suggest that you do not leave the terminal', wow ive been asleep for the whole 8 hours of this flight, i think thats the longest time ive ever spent on a plane. I looked out the window and saw that the sun was out which was crazy because it was only 2 in the morning when i went to sleep.

We had 14 hours until we got to London. I just wanted to be there already.
......

It is so fucking cold. I knew England was cold but jesus christ i didnt think it was this cold.

We all piled into a taxi and basically begged the driver to crank up the heating all the way. I felt like my toes were just going to freeze and fall off.

London was gorgeous, and it was even more gorgeous knowing i was here with Calum.

We pull up at a beautiful hotel called 'Hilton', i heard of this hotel before, it was Paris Hilton and her family's hotels, their were a few in Australia.

'Is this where we're meeting them?', i asked, 'Yep', 'We all including them have a room here for then next few days until we leave on tour', Adam said, 'Cool'.

We walked into the giant reception area and waited on the long red couches that lined the room while Adam checked us in, after a few moments Adam walked over to us with 5 keys, 'Calum and Scarlett you have a room together and Luke, Ashton and Michael, you all have your own room', he said handing us all our keys.

We headed up the elevator to our floor, 'Whats our room number?', Calum asked, '76', i replied, which meant we were on floor 70, which was really high and oh did i mention im afraid of heights? 'Ah here it is', he swiped our door key which was actually just a card and the door clicked open revealing a gorgeous grey and white themed room with an incredible view of London, i walked over to the giant row of windows lined along the living room, 'Wow' i said, i felt Calum's arms wrap around my waist and his chin rest on my shoulder, 'It's amazing isnt it?', he asked, 'We can see everything from here, look theres Hyde Park!', i pointed, 'We can even see the water fountain', Calum said, 'Oh and look there's Big Ben!', i said clapping my hands, 'Oh my god Calum', 'What?', 'Is that London Bridge?!', 'It would seem so', he said, he spun me around to face him and lightly kissed my nose, 'It is amazing being here with you, Scar, i wouldn't want it any other way', suddenly there was a knock on the door, 'Calum, Scarlett, its time for us to go and meet the 1D boys!', Adam called from the other side of the giant mahogony door.

'You ready?', i asked Calum, he was fiddling with his fingers so i knew he was nervous, 'Calum?', 'Oh um yeah, sorry Scar. I'm just really nervous', 'You'll be fine babe', i reasurred him.

We walked out of the door and everyone was waiting for the elevator, we joined them and a few moments later the giant metal doors opened, 'So where are we meeting them?' Luke asked, 'In the conference room' Adam replied. The elevator doors opened and we followed adam to the conference room, Calum was gripping my hand tightly as Adam opened the door to reveal a giant room with a table full of food in the middle, 'Ah hello, Mr Wilkinson?', a man asked Adam, i suspected he was the One Direction manager, 'Yes, where are the gentlemen?', 'Ah they are just in their rooms, they should be here any minute', he replied. 'Calum, you'll be fine, i know this is a huge moment for you but look at the other boys, they're nervous aswell', i whispered so only he could hear me. We walked over to the other boys, 'Are you boys alright?', i asked, 'Yeah we're heaps nerv-', Ashton was cut off by the main door opening.

Liam... Niall... Louis... Zayn... one by one they walked through the door and it seemed like everything was happening in slow motion, and finally, Harry walked in.

'Hello', they all greeted the boys, i decided to stand back because this wasnt my moment, it was theirs.
While shaking hands with Michael i saw Harry look at me, his green eyes piercing into mine, i wanted to look away but i couldn't, it was like he was controlling me, finally Liam snapped him out of our little staring contest and he moved on to greet the other boys, once he had finished he started to walk towards me, 'Whos this gorgeous little lady?', he said, 'I u-um-uh i-uh', Luke walked over to save me from embarrasing myself any more, 'This is Scarlett, she's my cousin, she will be on tour with us', he explained, 'Scarlett huh?', he continued to stare right into my eyes, he gently placed his hand around my wrist and pulled it closer to his face, he planted a light kiss on the top of my hand and then let my wrist go, 'Nice too meet you, Scarlett'.
