Eliza's POV:

We packed clothes for overnight and hopped into the car. I asked Nichole if she was going to throw away her prostitute outfits, and she laughed, handing me one. I raised an eyebrow, and she smirked.

"I'm sure Lou will enjoy it..." She laughed, and I laughed, shoving it in my bag. She did the same with the rest, saying that she'd give one to Danielle and Quinn.

We drove for what seemed forever, finally arriving at where the boys were living. I still hadn't told Lou about the baby. Every time I tried, I couldn't do it. I was so afraid. Hopefully he wouldn't notice... I had only gained 4 pounds according to the scale. I didn't look pregnant at all.

I hopped out of the car and looked up at the house. It was actually kinda big... I looked it up and down, my eyes quickly landing on the porch. I smiled as I saw a sullen boy, hands holding up his face, elbows resting on his knees, looking up and down the streets. As soon as he noticed me, I watched as his eyes lit up, and he jumped up, sprinting towards me. I laughed, embracing him in a hug. We held each other tight, and I was scared to let go, that maybe if I let him go, he'd have to go again... He pulled back a bit, and tears brimmed over my eyes at the thought that I'd have to go the next morning. He smiled at my face, then noticed the tears. He gripped my face, his smile fading as he wiped away my tears with his thumbs.

"Hey, hey! It's alright! Maybe tomorrow will be bad, but today, right now, we're alright. We gotta stay strong! It's just a few more months at the most!" He smiled, and I nodded, trying to hold in my tears.

"Oh god! Look at me! I'm a mess!" I said, shaking my hands up and down. I looked in the car review mirror, trying to fix my makeup. Lou grabbed my hand, and smiled.

"You look fine babe. Just don't leave my side for the rest of the night." He said, seriously. I smiled, and wrapped my arms around his side, and we walked towards the house. Nichole, who was standing to the side, awing the whole time, during our little scene followed us.

I stopped suddenly, right before opening the door. "OH! How impolite of me!" I said, turning around. "Nichole, this is my boyfriend, Lou. Lou, Nichole. I know you guys met on Skype, but that doesn't count." I smiled.

"Hello, love." Lou said, shaking Nichole's hand with the hand that wasn't wrapped around my waist.

She smiled, "Hello." I became great friends with Nichole in the drive here. She actually was awesome. She wasn't afraid of talking about her past, like I was at first. It was like she was already over it. You could tell, though, that she still was scared of James and was very insecure. But, honestly, I would have hated talking about being a prostitute. She didn't mind at all, she even showed me the dances she did, she volunteered to! Right before we left, she showed me a dance, telling me that I could use it on Lou, she winked.

Anyways, we walked into where the other boys were, and were immediately attacked with hugs. Niall attacked Nichole while I was attacked by Hazza, and Zain. I had to give one armed hugs, I wasn't allowing my hand to leave Lou tonight. After a few minutes of our koala hug, Lou finally shoved them off.

"Okay, okay, you said your hello. Now let me take my girl away." He smirked, and the other boys made wolf whistles, as Lou pulled me into the bedroom they shared. Surprisingly, it was very clean. My bet is that Lou and Niall made the others clean it before we got there.

"OMG, Bells! So I told Harry the story of how we first met a while back, and I described you." I nodded, unsure of where this was going... "And when we had to come up with a name for our band, Harry reminded me of the saying on your t-shirt the day we met. Everyone loved the saying, so we named our band One Direction. Like we can only go in one direction, a better one from here! Isn't that awesome?! You basically are the reason for our name!!!" I laughed, nodding and telling him that it was great. "So, how have you been, baby?" He asked. I bit my lip, nervously. I guess now was better than ever...
