After a little bit of persuading – and with a little bit of help from Levi – I managed to get a week off of work so I could fly out to see "my dying aunt". I packed up a huge suitcase full of my best clothes, with a little help from Kat, and I was off within 5 days. And after 2 delays and a million hour long flight, I finally landed in the UK land.

So, as I made my way off the plane, I had planned to just follow the girly cries and screams in hopes that I would find Luke and Calum, but as I walked through the airport, it was way quieter than I expected.

Mae: are you guys here?

Daddy long legs: yes :-)

Palum: We're hiding in the mens bathroom come find us

Mae: um eW

Mae: there's like a thousand bathrooms here help me out man

Palum: I'm wearing a bright pink hoodie and basketball shorts and ray bans

I squinted my eyes and shoved my glasses up my nose as I scanned the area for a pink hoodie.

There was at least 15 of them around.

Fucking hell.

Mae: please be more specific there's so many pink hoodies

Daddy long legs: we're standing near a water fountain

Mae: fuck you Luke

Suddenly I heard massive feet running in my direction and someone called out my name.

"Mae!"

My head snapped up in slight panic as I looked around frantically, until I realized that it was the voice of one of my best friends.

"Lu-" I started, seeing the long legged freak bolting for me. But I was engulfed into the arms of Luke Hemmings himself.

I tried not to scream – cause let's face it – we've all been a Luke girl at least once.

A few seconds later another pair of arms wrapped around me, and Luke. I could faintly see the pink color of Calum's hoodie and the smell of something minty yet spicy, and I giggled.

"Oh my God, is this even real life right now?" I breathed into Luke's chest.

"We've heard that a couple of hundred times," Calum mused, chuckling. I sighed contently.

"This is fucking awesome," I said when they pulled away. I noticed Dave hovering slightly in the background, trying to remain unnoticed. I offered him a small smile and he gave me a quick nod in return.

"We should go," Calum whispered, glancing around. I heard a girl gasp loudly from somewhere near us.

"Oh my God, is that Luke Hemmings?!"

"Run!"

"So he's in his hotel room now?" Mae asked nervously, tugging anxiously on the sleeves of Mike's flannel.

"Yeah," Luke replied while I nodded, dragging her giant suitcase behind me. I pointed to a door as we walked by it.

"He's in there," I shrugged, smirking as her face paled and stopped right outside the door.

Her expression changed and she gazed adoringly at the door, smiling lightly as her cheeks turned a light pink. It was kind of cute, and for a second I was jealous that Mike had someone like Mae.

"I can't wait to meet him," she murmured, bouncing up and down slightly. Luke rolled his eyes.

"Can we go before he comes-"

Suddenly we all heard the door beginning to unlock and Mae visibly began to shake and sweat. We all began to panic, glancing at each other nervously.

So, without thinking, I shoved her into the room next door.

"Hey!" I exclaimed when Michael swung the door open. His smile fell when his eyes immediately landed on the giant purple suitcase I was holding behind me.

Fuck.

"Um," Michael scratched the back of his neck, looking like he was trying not to laugh. "Who's is that?"

"Uh..."

"Calum got a new suitcase," Luke blurted out, and I shot him a look. He shrugged and I sighed.

"So you got a purple one?" Mike snickered.

"Hey man, I don't discriminate," I muttered.

Mae owes me big time for this shit.

"Oh... well okay," he chuckled and Luke stifled a laugh. "Do you guys wanna play FIFA?"

"Uh, yes. Is that even a question?" Luke rolled his eyes. I gripped onto Mae's suitcase tightly.

"Um, I'm tired," I declared, heading for my hotel room.

"Dude, it's like 7 AM."

"Jetlag?" I offered, shrugging my shoulders. Michael narrowed his eyes at me.

"Right."

"I'll come play FIFA later, I just wanna take a nap while I have the chance," I concluded.

"FIFA," Luke yelled, getting impatient. He shoved Michael into the room and I let out a breath I had no idea I was holding in. A second later, Mae flung the door open and she grabbed my arm, yanking me into the room and throwing me on the bed while her suitcase flew around behind me.

"Whoa babe, at least buy me a drink first," I winked at her. She scowled at me.

"You shoved me into a random hotel room!" She whined. I shook my head.

"False. It's not a random hotel room. It's mine and Luke's," I defended.

"You're damn lucky it wasn't a random room," she huffed, plopping down on the bed with her arms crossed over her chest. I sat up and shoved her shoulder with mine, and she clumsily fell on her side on the bed. She sighed.

"Ease up, this is gonna be the best vacation for you ever. What do you wanna do-"

I stopped talking when I looked over and saw Mae was already sound asleep, her mouth slightly open with the softest snore coming out.
