Nothing is ever impossible (Olly Murs and One Direction)

10. The European Tour

Jess’s POV

Rosie and Olly had been in Barbados for 5 days, and Niall and the boys were getting ready to go to Europe for their ten-day tour. I was slightly annoyed because, they would be away and I wouldn’t be able to go with them, also that if my Dad did deteriorate Niall wouldn't be here by my side, but it had been planned for ages and they couldn’t really cancel unless anything drastic happened. Even though the doctors had told us that my Dad only had days to live, he had perked up quite a bit and was seeming to be okay, he was still bed-bound but he was doing well. I was going back home, as I didn’t want to be on my own in the boy’s house when they went away.

“You okay hun?” Niall asked me, coming into our room with two cups of tea.

“Yeah, just getting my stuff together for when I go home.” I told him; taking the tea from his hand.

“Oh right, I’m still so sorry about having to leave you for ten days babe, you know I wouldn’t go if I didn’t have to.” He told me.

“Don’t worry Niall, Dad’s doing okay, I’m sure he’ll last until the end of your tour.” I chuckled and he smiled. I took a sip of the tea; it went straight down my throat and warmed my insides.

“He’s a fighter Jess, we both know that.” Niall said putting his tea down and bringing me in for a hug. He wrapped his arms tightly around me and I breathed in his scent. I looked up at him and he kissed me tenderly on the lips, he smiled and held my hands between his. “I love you Jess.” He said.

“I know.” I winked. “I love you too. Urgh this packing is taking the piss.” I added.

“Do you need any help?” Niall asked me.

“Um, I think I’ll be alright, it’s just fitting everything in the bag… when are you leaving for Paris?” I asked him, trying to fit my 6th pair of shoes into my bag.

“Err, at about 8pm tonight I think. But for now I’m here, with you.”

“What are the others up to?” I asked him.

“Zayn’s at Rowena’s they’re spending the day together.” He said winking at me, obviously indicating that they were spending the day in bed together, no prizes for what they were doing. “ Freya and Harry are downstairs, Liam and Lily are at yours as Liam wanted to say bye to your dad just in case it was his last one, and Louis and Eleanor are looking at wedding venues for the summer.” Niall explained.

“Wow, and we’re packing aha” I added.

“Shit yeah, I forgot I gotta pack.” Niall said.

“Durr, unless you wanna wear those clothes for the next ten days.” I told him.

“Have you never heard of turning them inside out?” he joked, pushing me onto the bed.

“Well, yeah but I think you’d look rather weird with your clothes inside out.” I told him standing up from the bed. “So what are you taking?”

“I have no frickin clue!” Niall said opening his wardrobe; “I have nothing to wear.” He said looking into it, as it was overflowing with clothes.

“NIALL JAMES HORAN, how dare you say you have nothing to wear? You’re worse than me!” I shouted cheekily.

“But I…well I guess I do have at least one outfit to wear.” He winked.

“Yeah, maybe you could stretch to two, how about these?” I asked picking out a few things.

“Hmm, yeah, well I don’t want to take too much cos the team will have stuff for us.”

“Niall, I doubt they’ll pack you a onesie and pants.” I said sarcastically.

“What would I do without you eh?” Niall said smiling at me.

“I dunno, but I guess you’re stuck with me for the rest of your life.” I said wiggling my left hand in his face.

“Yeah, Mrs, Jessica Horan… got a nice ring to it hasn’t it.” he said grabbing me by the waist and started kissing me passionately.

We packed both suitcases and sorted everything out, all the others had returned home and were all sorted. It was 5pm and Simon had turned up with two cars. We were sat downstairs just chatting.

“Right, come on then guys, we best be getting off.” Simon said.

“Yeah, I guess so.” Liam said looking at his watch. They all stood up and made there way to the door.

“Simon, is it okay if we drop Jess and Lily off at their parents house?” Niall asked.

“Um… yeah I guess so, how far away do they live?” Simon asked.

“About 20 minutes.” Lily told him.

“Please Si.” Liam said, batting his eyelashes.

“The things I do for your boys” Simon rolled his eyes. “ Have you girls got your bags?” he asked us.

“All my stuff’s at the house anyway.” Lily told him.

“I’ll just go and get mine.” I told him making my way to the stairs.

“It’s okay Jess, I brought it down for you earlier, it’s in the hallway.” Niall said

“Oh, cheers Nialler.” I smiled.

“Right then I guess that’s everything. Have you locked up Liam?” Simon asked.

“Yeah, don’t worry, I’ve locked up. Jess have you got your key?” Liam said to me.

“Yeah, but I wont need it ‘cos I’m gonna be at home.” I reminded him.

“Course, sorry. Anyways c’mon guys Me, Niall, Lily and Jess will go in the second car, and you four can go off to the airport, we’ll meet you there.” Liam told Simon, Louis, Zayn and Harry.

“Okay, see you in about an hour then.” Simon said

“Yeah, bye.” Niall said and we all got in the car.

“I’ll see you soon baby. Trevor’s gonna be okay, if the worst happens, we’ll call off a couple of dates and fly back to be here with you” Liam was saying to Lily as he got in the car.

“Thank you, it means a lot baby, ring me as soon as you land.” She said to him, he picked her up and kissed her softly and got in. Liam wiped a tear from her eye and kissed her forehead.

“I love you Lily Carroll.”

“I love you more Liam Payne.” They kissed once more and he shut the door. She came over and joined me; Niall came out of the house and brought me into a huge ‘Horan’ hug.

“I’m gonna miss you so much baby, I will call you every morning and just before we go on to perform, I love you so much Jess, and don’t worry about your dad, he’s gonna be fine, he’s a fighter.” He lifted up my chin and noticed the tear that had escaped my eye. He wiped it away from my cheek and kissed me softly.

“I’ll miss you too baby, I’ll look forward to hearing your voice, but it’s a shame you don’t have your lucky mascot for your tour… hang on wait there a second.” I said running inside, I went up to my room and grabbed the teddy that I had had since I was a baby. I went outside and gave it to him. “Here take this, it’s my baby teddy, and whenever you’re about to go on stage, look at this and think of me and you will do well. I’m so proud of you babe. I love you lots.” I kissed him once more and he got into the car clutching the teddy. Lily and I stood in the doorway waving them off, when they had gone we went inside.

I was already missing him.
