~One Year Later~

"And that is how I broke my foot," Cassie said to the little camera that was connecting her to her best friend all the way across the world.

"Wow I would have never thought riding an escalator would be so dangerous," Niall said sarcastically.

"Hey! You try not getting your heel caught in the little wedge! My ankle completely twisted! My poor toes! I COULD OF DIED!" Cassie said dramatically.

Niall just laughed at her dramaticness.

"Ok, I definitely do not want to break my foot while wearing my heels!" Niall said with a girls voice. "But on a more caring note, are you ok?" 

"Yes of course I'm ok, other than the fact that you know I almost ripped my foot off, nothing major," Cassie said making Niall chuckle at her words.

He nodded.

"Hey you wanna come with me and the boys on vacation?" Niall said raising an eyebrow.

"Really? You think I would be able to do anything with this thing?" Cassie said pointing to her foot.

"It's not like we're going sightseeing. We're going to Hawaii!! All you have to do is sit in a chair and tan," Niall said, trying to convince her of going.

"I don't know. Will the boys mind?" she asked uncertain.

"What are you talking about? The boys love you! You're like their little sister!" he said raising his arms over his head.

"Ok, I'll go, but on one condition," Cassie said raising a finger.

"What is it?" Niall asked sarcastically.

"You. Have. To. Carry. Me. Everywhere." Cassie said seriously. 

"Really? That's your condition! What you don't think, these guns can't carry you?"Niall said kissing his 'guns.'

"Oh why would I ever doubt those white twigs of yours???" Cassie replied sarcastically.

"You know our relationship consists of more than 99.9% sarcasm?" Niall asked.

"Yeah, but it's how we work. Plus we would be boring as hell if there wasn't any sarcasm involved," Cassie said shrugging her shoulders.

"True, true. So you want to do this jazz??!!" he changed the subject back to the vacation.

"I guess, what else I'm I going to do this summer?" she asked.

"Are you finished with your on line classes?" he asked.

"Oh yeah I forgot! I got my diploma in the mail today! Look I am officially a graduate!" Cassie said holding up the piece of paper she had been working for, for four years.

"Ok don't move!" Niall said clicking his mouse. "Ok you can unfreeze now. I am so proud of you! Now you really deserve to come with us," Niall said.

His eye filled with more pride than Cassie's own father did when she told him she had graduated.

"Thank you very much! Why did you make me stay still though?" she asked.

"You'll see. Hey I have to go! I'll call you tomorrow to talk about the trip! Bye love ya!" Niall said sending a kiss.

"Bye! Love you too! Be careful!" Cassie said waving too.

No, they are not together, though they have become close. Saying I love you at the end of their conversations was natural. 

Of course a piece of Niall still wished that Cassie was his, but knew that if he pushed her, she wouldn't ever really want to be with him.

'I wonder what the little leprechaun did,'  Cassie thought going onto her twitter.

Niall had made her one saying that it was a faster way to keep in touch with him and the band. She had a lot of followers thanks to their fans. Though the only thing Cassie did on twitter was DM Niall and joke around with him, twitting back and forth through out the day.

She was scrolling through her news feed, passing all the directioners that sent her tweets asking her if she could tell the boys to follow her when she stopped, she saw that Niall had posted a picture.

Congrats on getting your diploma @CassieBoo! Knew you could do it! Love ya! pic.twitter.com/210zXIFJVI

 It was a picture a of Cassie from just a few minutes ago, holding up her certificate. 

"So that's what the Little leprechaun did," Cassie said to herself.

She checked the time.

'10;13 PM' 

She quickly re-tweeted the tweet and went to bed, happy. She was going to be with the one person who actually believed in her, and she wondered what she would be doing if she hadn't become his friend. 

The night came and went by, when Cassie woke up to her phone ringing.

"Hello?" she asked groggily.

"CASSIE WAKE UP!" 

It was Louis.

"Louis shut up! I'm awake!! What do you want?" she asked a bit irritated.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Sheesh I was just gonna tell you that your plane leaves in an hour! So get packing! The boys and I will come pick you up!" Louis said and the line went dead.

"What!!" Cassie said throwing her covers off and quickly hopped around and started packing her necessities.

Since she had turned eighteen a couple months ago she had been able to live on her own. She had thought her dad was going to yell at her and say no, but instead he asked her where she wanted to live and paid for her apartment.

She decided to move to London since she had nothing to live for in the states. She would help Cindy out at the diner when she had nothing better to do. Cindy and her had become friends from all the times Niall and her went to eat there. All together they have probably been there more than a hundred times!

She always enjoyed the times when Niall would have a day off and they could hang together. She never would have thought that seeing his cocky face would bring her joy, but it did so it's what she looked forward to the most.

Since she only had an hour to get her stuff together and go. She packed light and skipped the shower because there was going to be traffic on the way to the airport. Her broken foot being the reason she couldn't take her time. 

She locked her door, jumping from stair to stair with her good foot, and called for a taxi cab. Once inside she got a message from Niall saying he had booked her a plane ticket.

She went through all the airport procedures that she had done oh so many times before. The giant cast making it hard to take off her one shoe. 

'Stupid escalator. Ruining everything,'  she thought as the security men gave her inpatient looks.

'Eighteen hours was estimated time to Hawaii. Time for a nap,' Cassie thought getting as comfortable  as she could with an injury, and closing her eyes after the flight attendant had gone over the safety procedures.
