3 MONTHS LATER

I dived onto my bed for the laptop, followed by Kayla and Madi. My stomach felt like it could explode as I pressed the power button. I was with all my favorite girls, except Lauren. She couldn't be with us because she joined her boyfriend (Zayn) and the rest of the boys for tour. The girls and I didn't go with them because of school. I logged onto Skype and looked through contacts who were online. I was praying to find that special name. Niall. He was online. My heart stopped.

"Laura, can I borrow your laptop for a second?" I heard a quiet and innocent voice call through the doorway. I snapped my head around to find my little brother standing with his hands folded and his eyes wide with a begging look.

"No way, Brian! I'm about to Skype Niall!" I yelled angrily. He broke out of his puppy face and rolled his eyes at me.

"You're so obsessed with that leprechaun." he scoffed as he walked away. Brian never liked Niall, for some reason. My other brothers, Gabe and Clint, did, though. They were both close to Niall's age and they both played the guitar, too, so I guess they just liked him because they could relate to him. But I partly believed that they realized how happy Niall made me. As for my baby sister, Deborah, she is just so obsessed with Madi's man. One day, when Madi was hanging out at my place, she was on the phone with Louis. Deborah waddled into the room with an armful of Barbie dolls and asked for us to play.

"Do you want to talk to Louis?" Madi had asked Deborah. Deborah dropped all her toys and gawked at Madi.

"From One Direction?" she squealed. Madi laughed and nodded.

"He's my boyfriend." Madi explained. Deborah snatched the phone from Madi's hand and had a good thirty minute conversation with Louis.

Anyways, I haven't seen Niall since he'd left for tour. I missed him more than anything. We've been doing a long distance relationship and it was working out super well. It was hard, but we were still strong. Just as he had told me, Niall called me every morning and every night and sent me text messages whenever he could. Tonight was the first time we would Skype eachother. The first time I'd see his face in 3 months. I could hardly contain my joy. I just imagined his smiling face, speaking my name, and his laugh. I couldn't wait a second longer.

I reread the text Niall sent me. 'I'll be on Skype tonight around 6:00 Mtn. Time. I miss you<3' I smiled while biting my lip. My clock said 6:04. The girls and I squealed while pressing the "call" button. This fangirling was almost as bad as it would've been before we knew the boys at all. We impatiently waited for his face to come up. We were at the edge of our seats as if waiting for the murderer to jump out of the closet in a scary movie. After a couple minutes, Niall's face popped up on the screen. My heart could've bursted. He was in a hotel room by himself propped up against the bed with only a lamp lighting up his beautiful, smiling face. He was more beautiful than I remembered. I exploded with emotion, and completely lost it. I gripped the screen with both of my hands.

"Niall!" I yelled. He smiled his award winning smile, and waved. His smile made my whole life brighter. The roomed seemed to shine.

"Hey, girl heyyy!" he shouted back. I giggled, trying to control my breathing.

"I miss you so much, Niall!" I said, holding back tears. He leaned in and kissed the camera.

"I miss you more, beautiful!" he said happily. The girls aww'd, and I have to admit, I did too in my head. I blushed and kissed the camera as well.
