**Chapter Seventeen**

•Erin's POV•

It had been a little over three weeks since the boys had left for their tour, and why I haven't died yet is still a mystery. Sure, I talked to them all the time on Skype or on the phone... but it wasn't like having them here with me. Sometimes I would even catch myself washing the same load of laundry more than once just to feel like I was still washing as much laundry as I was when they were all here. It was ridiculous, really. Just the little things that would happen while they were here, I missed. I missed tea time with Harry and grocery shopping with Niall. I missed mall visits with Zayn and Louis, and I especially missed waking up to Liam's arms securely wrapped around my waist.

However, Liam made sure that I would remember him when he was away. When I got home from the airport that day, I had walked into my room to find two of his larger sized T-shirts, a pair of his athletic style shorts that he would sleep in, a small bottle of his cologne, Toy Story on DVD, and a small post-it note neatly placed at the foot of my bed. In fact, I do wear the clothes he left me while I'm sleeping, and I still read the note from time to time to bring a smile to my face.

Dear Erin,

I know letting me go for a month will be hard on you; leaving you behind is hard on me as well. But I left you these little things so you wouldn't feel like I was completely gone. I'm always here for you, and I love you more than you could ever imagine. xx

Love,

Liam

And he was right; he really does love me more than I could have ever imagined. At every chance he gets, he makes sure he is in contact with me by whatever means possible. He even sent me a mixture of a dozen Casa Blanca and Star Gazer lilies last week, which were absolutely beautiful. How he manages to amaze me every time he does something for me, I will never understand. However, that's not even the most exciting part of all of this: I will get to see him in less than 48 hours.

Everything at my house is sorted out, and my suitcases and packed boxes I'm taking with me were shipped to Liam's flat this morning for me to unpack when I get to London. I only have one thing to do before I get to London: an interview on the Ellen DeGeneres show that is taking place this afternoon at 3pm. Didn't know I was on a plane to California right now, now did you? My plane lands in California in about another hour, so at 1:45pm California time. But what you're probably wondering is why I'm going to an interview on the Ellen DeGeneres show in the first place.

Well, I got an email a week ago asking me if I would like to appear on the show, which I of course agreed to; Ellen is great, how could I say no. So, I booked a flight and here we are. As soon as the interview is over, I'm getting onto yet another plane to head to London; I'm dreading the 11 hour flight, however it'll be worth it. Seeing the boys again would make a 300 hour flight seem worth it to me.

"We will be landing in Los Angeles in 15 minutes. Thank you for choosing our airline, and we hope you enjoyed your flight." A female voice spoke through the intercom.

Instantly a smile crept onto my face; I was one step closer to them.

"So, today I would love to introduce a young lady that has become quite popular all over twitter because well, she became a billionaire within 24 hours of becoming an adult. Please welcome the lovely, the beautiful... Erin Lyon everybody!" Ellen shouted, introducing me to the audience. They squealed and shouted back in return as I walked out towards the seat next to Ellen; ironically they were playing the song Radioactive by Imagine Dragons as I walked out, which I had been thinking about almost the whole day.
