**Chapter Fourteen**
•Erin's POV•
I couldn't believe that there was only about 10 days left before the boys left for their tour. I mean, yeah, I'd be joining them about a month after they left. However, I get the feeling that I will go through some major withdrawals. Not waking up to Liam in my bed, not having little eating competitions with Niall, not waking up Harry at noon and just laying on his bed talking... heck, even not having Zayn and Louis there to compliment me for doing their laundry. It was all going to be very overwelming...
However I knew that as a nice gesture to them for always being there for me, I would have to get them all gifts. It's just what I do. So I told the boys I was going out grocery shopping to stock up again, making them all stay home to entertain themselves. Niall desperately wished to come with me as he always does, but this time I had to say no; trust me, he took notice of it. After a questioning look from him, I left and was on my way to search for the perfect gifts. Luckily I already had a good idea of what I was getting.
•Niall's POV•
"Sorry Niall, but no. Not this time at least." Erin told me, rushing out the door.
Strange. She ALWAYS let me come with her when she went food shopping. ALWAYS. Which caused me to come to one conclusion: she was planning a surprise. I should've known by the way her eyes glimmered as she looked at me.
Sure, I still liked her. But I knew she was made for Liam, and it was better if we remained good friends. Almost like siblings really; I've grown to be very protective of her. She's a very fragile girl, despite her tough independent demeanor that she puts forth. I could see right through it; she truly was caring and loving, not just to us but to everyone she met. She was sensitive and delicate and beautiful especially. So, she deserved to know it; I was going to make sure of it.
As I walked into the living room to see the lads, I cleared my throat lightly.
"Lads, I have an idea."
~Several Hours Later~
•Erin's POV•
Finally after spending almost my whole day driving around Florida in search of gifts, I pulled in to the long driveway of my enourmous house. I was exhausted really, and I had to have spent a fairly large amount of money and time just to make sure everything was perfect. I even went to the extent of calling in some favors to make sure everything went according to plan.
When I walked in the door, I could hear the boys in the kitchen chatting quietly to eachother. However as soon as I walked into the kitchen, they all fall silent and turned to look at me as if nothing was happening.
They were hiding something from me.
"Hey Erin, did you get all the groceries you needed to get from the store?" Niall asked me with a smirk on his face. Crap. I actually never went to the store, so I had no groceries to bring in.
"Um... actually no. I- There was- I just decided to go visit my niece and nephew for the day. I haven't seen them since I left y'know?" I lied. I wish I would have gone to see them, because I really hadn't seen them since I left. There just wasn't enough time to fit it into my schedule today.
"Oh, well we actually had an interview we had to go to today so.. that took up most of our time." Harry told me. I knew they had an interview soon, but I didn't know it was today.
That very moment my phone went off; I had gotten a text from Sara.
From: Sara :)
If you haven't checked your twitter lately... you need to see it now. Love you. xx
