"Mum!" I run and throw my arms around her, "I've missed you so much! Oh my God I have so much to tell you! How's my baby?" I'm practically in tears I'm so happy, I look around to see everyone smiling at me, they planned this. "You guys all planned this didn't you?"

"Uh, yea! Our job was to distract you while Uncle Si here went and got your buddies", says Liam. I've got to admit, it was a good plan. Wait, buddies?

"Buddies? Who else is here?" I hear a happy noise behind me and see my beautiful baby. "Cato!" I run to my dog and hug him tightly, it may sound weird, him being a dog and all, but I've missed him allot too. I hear him growl lowly and look up to see him eyeing the boys suspiciously. "It's alright, they're cool, they won't hurt us."

"He can't understand you, you know that right?" I glance up at Niall who looks a bit apprehensive.

"I know he can't but the tone of my voice soothes him, and he can sense that I'm not stressed. Oh crap, I forgot all about Leo, I have got to cancel my plans."

"Who's Leo?" Mum asks, she must be so confused.

"Leo Howard, In all the movies we watched, ring any bells?"

"Oh him! You've been obsessed with him for years!"

"Mum, please," I blush red, embarrassed.

"Oh hush, by the way I brought your guitar, the rest of your clothes, pictures, books, and your laptop with me."

"Thank you so much!" I run to my room, grab my guitar case, and run back to the kitchen; I open the case and feel a bit cossy for a second, feels like home. I pick up my guitar and strum it lightly, sounds like home too.

"I like your guitar," Niall says, complimenting my second most prized possession other than my dog.

"Thank you, it has most of my favorite things represented on it." I hand it to him so that he can look over the different stickers, stained in words, and light carvings.

"Well this one is interesting," he says pointing to the only thing on the entire covered guitar that I hoped he wouldn't notice, so of course he sees it first, just my luck. It was a small cursive carving of his name on the right side next to my large paw print sticker (Ed Sheeran inspired).

"Oh that one, it's nothing!" I smile sheepishly, not really knowing how to explain the situation.

"And here we were thinking you weren't a fan, apparently you were," Niall says, blushing a bit himself.

"Yea Niall, a fan of yours," Harry says, winking at Niall cheekily. I could strangle him right now.

"Are you kidding? At home she used to talk about him all the time, Niall this, Niall that, Niall is sooo h-"I clap my hand over her mouth before she can finish that sentence. Now, where's that hole I dug so that I could crawl up and die in, I need to find it. I sit in one of the chairs and call Cato to come and sit on my lap. I bury my head in his fur and try to come up with a good way to escape this situation. I take a chance and look up to see seven very amused looking faces and one very embarrassed face looking at me.

"Heh, yea, funny story, I am a very big fan of Niall, big deal." I say, making it seem like it's no big thing when in fact it was a big thing; I had his named engraved on my guitar for heaven's sakes!

"Oh I don't know, I want your mum to finish what she was saying, it seemed very interesting," says Harry, smirking at me. I shoot him a deathly glare and then decide to make myself look better in the situation and text Leo to cancel our plans to hangout. I shoot him a simple text saying that I couldn't go and he replies within like 30 seconds saying that it's no big deal and that we can reschedule another time. Thank god, something is working out that doesn't embarrass me in some way. I run my fingers through my hair and turn to my mum, "How are things going your way?"
