We leave for New York on the Sunday before Fashion week starts. I sit next to Eleanor on the plane, watching movies together and talking about what shows we're most excited to see. Louis and Harry are in the seats behind us, and seem to sleep the whole way there. Eleanor says we should let them sleep, they've been working late nights with recording their album .

I don't mind their absence, we'll get time to hang out with them in New York, It's more fun being with Eleanor anyways.  She and I have so much in common, we like fashion, the same music, the same stores, the same tv-shows and are both addicted to phone games. I can't believe how lucky I was to get to know her! We manage to get through Pretty Woman, Notting Hill and are halfway through Bridget Jones' Diary before we hear the boys start waking up again behind us. When Bridget comes to the party dressed as a bunny Louis face pops out between our seats.

"Aww, you watched Bridget without me?" He pouts as Eleanor and I smile and chuckle at his reaction.

"It's still half of it left, you can join us!" I say and he turns to look at me, smiling. I almost want to laugh at myself for thinking he was scary the first time I met him. Louis looks so sleepy and cute with his hair alltussled and eyes still a bit slow.

"Thanks for the invitation, love. But I got a whole lot of work to do and-" He start but is interrupted by Eleanor flicking his ear.

"No. No work. You've been working almost non-stop for two weeks. You need to take some time off and not think about harmonies and choruses. Relax." She says with a stern voice, frowning a bit. "And that goes for Harry too. If I hear that you two even discuss the album, I will smack you."

"Fine, no work. We definitely need the time off. Thanks, El. Dunno what I'd do without you." Louis smiles at her and blows her a kiss, El giving him a pointed look. He chuckles. "You know what I mean."

Eleanor just shakes her head, a little smile playing on her lips. I'm struck again with how pretty she is. Five hours on a plane and she still looks as if she just got out of hair and make-up. "Is Harry awake? I think we're getting close." She says, and Louis head disappears for a second  before popping back.

"Yep. He's awake. Just resting his eyes and listening to music. Been a couple of long nights this week with all the work." Louis answers, smiling. Harry's face appears on top of Louis', with a matching smile, resting his chin on Louis' head.

"Yeah, lots of work. But now we're on a mini-vacation. No talk of albums and chords and lyrics and singles. Time for fashion and fun!" Harry says. The speakers spark to life and the captain lets us know we'll start landing in a couple of minutes. We strap our seatbelts on and turn our phones off. I get a bit nervous when it starts to shake a bit, clasping my hands on the armrests, but I feel a soft hand over mine, looking up to find Eleanor smiling reassuringly at me.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Everything is gonna go great!" She says calmly, and I relax a bit. Her hand on mine soothes and anchors me, helping me control my nerves. I barely notice when we finally hit the ground,too busy thinking about how happy I am at having Eleanor by my side.
