Runaways -A One Direction Fan Fic-

Chapter 9: Nickolette Swan

A/N: HELLO PEOPLE!!! Sorry about the late update but if you looked at my latest status you'll know that I am completely swamped in a never-ending pile of tests and assignments. Hopefully this chapter will be longer and have more.....plot development, but if it's not then I BLAME SCHOOL. I wonder if anyone actually took the time to read this or just skipped onto the story.....hmmmmmm....it's something I would do.....oh well, I won't keep the probably 2 people who decided they would read this. So go and read the book!

Zayn's P.O.V

I sit up abruptly, blinking in confusion as the past day's events come rushing back to me. We did it, we actually did it. After six months of just bouncing around in my head, I -well we- finally got up the guts to see my plan through, an did a pretty good job of it if you ask me.

THUD

My head swivels around, trying to find the source of the noise. In the dim stream of moonlight coming through the slit in the curtains, I see that there's nothing out of the ordinary, Niall and Liam are still sleeping away and our luggage is still sitting where we left it. I sigh, settling back onto the pillows. It was probably just some tourists having their sexytime.

THUD

"What was that?"

"Go back to sleep Niall, you probably don't want to know." I murmur, rolling over to face the Irish boy.

"Really Zayn. That was the first thing you thought of?"

"Yes."

CRASH  "Well I guess the gazilliand points goes to you then."

"What the actual fuck is going on?" Liam says, sitting up.

"I have no idea but I'm tired and it's pissing me off." I say, throwing back the covers and blindly stumbling towards the door, "Can one of you turn on the light?"

In seconds, I'm squinting from the bright glare that has suddenly flooded the room, "I don't think that would be a good idea Zayn. We're trying not to draw attention to ourselves remember?" Liam says.

"Is there any chance that you could get me some food while you're out there?" Niall says.

Lain groans and punches Niall in the shoulder, "It's too early for food."

"Oh little Liam, you have so much to learn. It's never to early for food."

"Uh guys, do any of you know how to fix a hole in the wall."

My eyes widen, both at the question and the fact that Louis and Harry have just walked into the room completely normal. "HARRY! You're alive!" Niall says happily, moving inhumanely fast to hug the lad, "There. You wanted a hug earlier and now I'm giving it to you."

Harry stares down at the leprechaun in confusion, "I did?"

"Yeah, you were giggling and saying that I was the hug master."

"Harry doesn't really remember anything Niall." Louis says.

"Doesn't remember anything? Then how are we supposed to know what made him act all loopy?" Liam questions, rising from the bed to go join the group.

Louis and Harry shrug, "We'll probably never know," Louis begins, "But whatever it was, I'm all good now. "Harry finishes for him.

"Well, at least we're all okay again." Liam says, relief obvious in his features.

"Yeah....but we have another problem." Louis says guiltily, he and Harry looking at the ground.

"And what would that be?" I ask, finally breaking my silence. Louis mumbles something inaudible and I move closer so I'm almost eye to eye with him, "What was that Lou? You're going to have to speak up."
