Everything Changed When I Met You

Car Ride... Home?

They came running at us - all four of them - full speed. Shrieking loudly, I was lifted up off my feet by none other than Louis Tomlinson, who spun me around in the air screaming, "Bubbles! I missed you!" I giggled loudly as he put me down on the ground only to wrap me in a big bear hug.

Through the side of my vision, I could see Hailey and Harry hugging each other tightly, Harry kissing the top of her head while smiling happily. I smiled at the two of them - happy to see my best friend so happy. The two really were meant for each other - their personalities meshed perfectly.

I chuckled as Louis finally let me go, just so Liam could wrap me in his own bear hug. "Hi Li" I said, wrapping my arms around his waist tightly. "Hey girly. I missed you" he said sincerely, making me smile. Next, Zayn hugged me, tickling my sides and making me squeal loudly before letting me go. Harry hugged me quickly, but affectionately after Zayn had released me.

Finally, Niall walked up to me slowly, smiling. "Is it finally my turn?" He asked, sticking is lower lip out in an attempt to fake pout. I put my finger to my chin, making a thinking expression. I shook my head playfully and said, "Nah... I don't think so. I'm all hugged out today. Try again tomorrow" I winked in his direction so he knew I was playing with him. The guys chuckled behind me and said "Ooooh burn Niall!"

Niall looked at me, pouting even more. "Not even a famous Horan Hug?" he begged playfully back at me, batting his eye lashes. "Hmmmm" I thought for a second, teasing my dear friend. "I guess if it's a Horan hug" I finally conceded. Suddenly Niall had me scooped up in his arms tightly, making my carry-on bag fall to the ground.

"Whoa Niall! You must have missed me a whole bunch!" I said playfully, wrapping my arms around his neck tightly, pulling him closer. He nuzzled his nose into my neck, and my eyes fluttered shut and I smiled warmly. "I did miss you Lay, a whole bunch" Niall whispered into my neck making me smile wider. I loved this little leprechaun.

"I missed you too Niall" I murmured back at him, squeezing him tightly once more before releasing him. "You better have. I can easily turn your room into a sweet Niall Horan game room. Then you would have no where to sleep!" Niall teased him, poking my ribs lightly. "I'd just steal your room Mr." I teased back. Niall pretended to debate this and finally replied with, "Hmm, if you put it that way... Then I like the sound of it! As long as we get to share my bed" He winked at me with a smirk.

I lightly slapped his shoulder and said, "Niall! You pervert!" Giggling, I grabbed my bags out of baggage claim, and Hailey grabbed hers. All five of the boys glared at us and Liam said, "Uh uh, none of that. We men will not let you girls carry your bags! That's just rude!" With that, the guys all grabbed our bags and started toeing them behind us.

"Men?" Hailey laughed hysterically. Looking at me she asked, "Lay, do you think they are men?" I thought for a second and then smirked at Louis. "Nah I wouldn't say men. Boys are more like it" This made all five guys stop and glare at us. Suddenly, Harry smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Well boys, why don't we let the ladies carry their bags. Then maybe they'll understand that this is a job for real men" With that they dropped our bags in front of Hailey and I, then proceeded to walk off without us. We attempted to pick up all of our things and follow the guys out to the car, but it proved impossible for us. Uh oh. I knew they were going to make us beg for them to carry our bags. Ugh.

The guys turned around and smirked when they realized Hailey and I were not following them. "Need help?" Zayn asked innocently. I glared at him and then sarcastically replied with, "Yeah, will you boys go find some men to do this job for us?" Louis chuckled at my comment and then they all turned around and started walking. "Good luck, Layla! Hailey!" Niall called over his shoulder at us. "Wait!" I cried out at them, not wanting to be stuck here forever. They all turned around. "Yes?" Liam asked, feigning innocence. "Carry these for us." I demanded childishly.

"What's the magic word?" Louis teased in a sing-song voice. I glared at Louis, mentally shooting him with darts. "Please?" I told him bitterly. "And what are we?" Niall asked us. Before I could say anything, Hailey interrupted saying, "Harold. Edward. Styles. Get your butt over here and be a gentleman before I tell your mother on you." This made the rest of the guys all say "Ooooh! Mother Styles!" but it must have had the desired effect because Harry's face paled and he shot the boys a glare and walked over to Hailey mumbling, "Yes, babe" Hailey quickly pecked Harry on the cheek and said, "Thank you babe." I smiled at the cute couple before shooting the rest of the guys a pleading look and pointing at my bags.

Sighing dramatically, Louis walked over to me and lifted two of my bags up. "Alright. Besides it takes a real man to do something for a lady with out an apology." Puffing out his chest, Niall walked up to Louis and grabbed my bags from him. "Then you should give those bags to me, son" They started fighting over my bags and I huffed, irritated. "You guys are childish." I stated staring at them still arguing playfully. Liam walked over and pushed the two apart. "Layla's right. We will never leave this place if you two don't stop." Throwing a bag at Zayn, the two dragged my bags out to the car where Harry had the back open and was shoving Hailey's bags into them. Liam and Zayn started to do the same with mine.

Niall shut the door to the trunk of the car and then rounded to the front with the

boys in tow. "I call shot gun!" I screamed giddily, running to the passenger side of the car. I pulled the door open and plopped into the seat. Feeling victorious I screamed, "Woohoo!" My enthusiasm was cut short when Liam came up beside me laughing. "What?" I cried, upset that he ruined my joy.

"Layla, we are in the UK" I looked at him confused. "Duh" was my smart reply. "In the UK the steering wheel is on the opposite side. I don't know how I feel on you driving." Liam teased, smirking.

I looked in front of me, and sure enough the steering wheel sat there, mocking me. I blushed furiously, utterly and completely embarrassed while the boys and Hailey started laughing loudly. Getting out of the drivers side I stomped my way over to where Louis stood in front of the actual passenger door. Lightly pushing him out of the way, I climbed in, grumbling to myself. Louis chuckled, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close, kissing my temple. "Oh Layla. What would we do for amusement without you?" I gave him a death glare and slammed the door shut in his face. Everyone piled in the car behind me, and Liam in the drivers side.

"Everyone buckled?" Liam asked, looking at everyone else through the rear view mirror. Once we all replied with yes, Liam slowly drove out of the airport. I fidgeted in my seat, wondering if I made the right decision by coming here. I could hear everyone in the back seats making idle conversation with each other as Liam and I sat up front in dead silence. I could feel Liam glancing at me every few seconds, slightly worried.

"You okay, Layla?" He asked sympathetically. I stayed quiet and he placed his hand on my knee lightly patting it before returning both hands on the wheel. "Yeah I'm fine, just debating on if you guys really want me living with you or not..." I replied honestly with a sigh. Apparently the other four boys heard because all at once they all screamed, "Yes!" I winced and covered my ears. They were loud! "Thanks... I can't hear anymore!" I said sarcastically back at them. "Are you sure, though?" I asked on an after thought.

"Layla, we had this talk already, yes we want you here!" Niall said loudly. "Layla stop with the insecurities, what five boys wouldn't want a beautiful girl living with them?" Louis exclaimed, making me blush at the beautiful comment. "Well you guys might want to find someone else, because I'm certainly not beautiful." I told them, which caused me To receive a hit on the back of my head from Zayn. "Oww! Zayn! What was that for?" I yelled at him, rubbing my head. "Don't ever say you're not beautiful, Layla! Of course you are!" Zayn sternly told me. I rolled my eyes at him, and looked at Harry and Hailey.

Harry piped up and said, "If I can't have my girlfriend living with us, then I want her best friend because you are an awesome person and an awesome friend Layla. We all love you and want you here. We wouldn't have it any other way."

I smiled at my friends contently just as Liam pulled to a stop and announced, "We're here!" I turned in my seat an gawked at the scene in front of me - this could take some getting used to.
