Age is but A Number (A Niall Horan Fanfiction)

Chapter 1-Airport Adventures

(Samantha's P.O.V)

    I'm so glad today I'm leaving to go on holiday. Ahh, California. We got a VIP suite since my grandpa does a lot of gambling so he wins a lot of money. I love him, he's so good to us. Anyways, right now I'm packing up the last of my things that are traveling with me to California.

    "SAMANTHA! HURRY THE HELL UP WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR OUR PLANE!" My Aunt Nina screamed up the stairs. I had been staying at her house the past two weeks because my parents were on a motorcycle trip to South Carolina and they would stay there for a while. She's also my godmother and the best aunt I could ever ask for.

    "COMING!" I replied as i rushed down the stairs. I turned the corner after the steps into the kitchen and dining area to see my aunt, my cousins and best friends, Alexa and Amanda, my seven-year-old cousin Justice, and my baby cousin, Chase all eating their breakfast. Everyone ate to-go pancakes while Chase, of course, ate his baby food. Alexa was my age, 13, but 5 months older. She was born in June, I in November. Amanda is 17, almost leaving for college. Chase is one year old.

    Everyone in my family has brown hair and brown eyes but for some reason, Chase has blue eyes and blonde hair. Talk about miracle baby!

    We got into my aunt's Black Honda Pilot and drove off to the airport. On our way there, Amanda's phone was on auxiliary. We just finished singing the last song when a song by One Direction, our favorite band, came on.

    "Counted all my mistakes and there's only one. Standing out from the list of the things I've done. All the rest of my crimes don't come close, to the look on your face when i let you go," I sang along to my favorite song off of their new album, Four. "So, I built you a house from a broken home. And i wrote you a song with the words you spoke, yeah it took me some time but i figured it out." Then all three of us sang, "HOW TO FIX UP A HEART THAT I LET DOWN!"

    We sang along to Where Do Broken Hearts Go until it was over and for some reason i was actually sad that the song ended. I don't know why but i feel like i have some weird connection to that song. Whatever, I probably just really really like it.

    After about half an hour of driving, we made it to the airport. We got inside and the first thing the three of us girls did, was go to the food court. We stood out like the Three Stooges in a crowd of models. All the people were either wearing business coats and blazers or a cute outfit. We were wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts with no makeup. Guess we didn't get the memo?

    We walked through the crowd and I stopped at Wendy's. Hey, it may be 6 in the morning but i want food. Everyone else had already eaten their pancakes so i got myself some food.

    "Hello, I'm Kirsty. What can i get you?" The way too perky barista/counter girl asked.

    "Uhm let's see...I'm gonna have two Crispy Chicken Wraps, a Ten-Piece chicken nugget, a baconator with extra bacon. A chocolate M&M and Caramel Frosty and one large Dr. Pepper." What can i say? I like my food.

    "Okay, Ms. That'll be 18.35, please." I got my wallet and gave her my credit card. I'm twelve, yes, but my parents got me a credit card so i wouldn't waste time digging for money.

    "Thank you, have a nice day and enjoy your plane ride." she said with a giant smile. Who the hell could be that damn happy at 6 in the morning. Especially when you work in the airport food court. She handed me my bag and i walked away back to my cousins.

    "Flight 913 now boarding. Flight 913 now boarding." The lady said over the loudspeaker. (see what i did there? 9/13 is niall's birthday. HA) We began to walk towards the boarding gate when i heard quick footsteps. I turned around to see what was going on to be tackled to the ground in a heap.

    "That smells good." The mystery person on me said in a thick Irish accent. This person sounded very familiar. He sniffed my Wendy's bag then i could feel his eyes on me through his non-transparent black sunglasses. "Oh, my bad love I'm really sorry let me help you."

    He stood up and held out a hand. For some odd reason, i trusted him and took his hand. He was a complete stranger but i trust him. He pulled me up and said "My bad, really. I'm sorry i was just in a rush because my flight is boarding now. Where you off to?"

    "Oh uhm California. Flight 913." I replied not taking my eyes off of him.

    "Me too! Maybe we could sit together and we could get to know one another, yeah? I've got my mate coming along with me if that's alright."

    "Yeah that'd be great. " I replied. "Is it okay if my cousin comes along?"

    "Yeah, course. So it's a double date?" He lifted an eyebrow.

    "Call it what you want." We both laughed. "But may i ask what's with the glasses?"

    "You'll see when we get on the plane."

********at the gate*******

    We arrived at the gate when we saw the guy who i assumed was his mate. Once i saw them together, I realized who they were. Niall Horan and Harry Styles. What a coincidence that they are Alexa and my favorites! I'll let him know i know who they are when we get on the plane.

    We boarded the plane and the boys sweetly offered to pack our luggage away. Alexa was capable of doing it, I was not as i was 5 feet tall and she was 5'4 at least. There were 3 columns of 2 seaters. I sat with niall, next to us were alexa and harry, next to them were aunt nina and Chase and behind us were Justice and Amanda.

    "Ladies first." Niall said motioning for me to sit in the window seat.

    "Oh uhm, person?"

    "Yes?"

    "Can i sit on the outside? Im sorry, I'm claustrophobic." I said, disappointed for him.   

    "No worries, babe. Whatever makes you comfortable." he winked.
