"Megan! Hurry up!" I yelled as we were getting ready to leave. While the boys were off, we decided to take a little vacation to the States. We were going to California, and I decided to take Megan with us. Besides, Niall wouldn't have let her stay behind.... She and Niall have gotten pretty close since they met, and he just recently asked her out.
"I'm coming!" she said, running down the stairs, her bag in hand.
"The boys are waiting, let's go!" I said as we grabbed the rest of our stuff and walked out the door. When we got out there Lou shoved the stuff in the boot and climbed in after me. Liam was driving with Zayn in the passenger side, with the rest of us piled in the back.
"LOUIS. CUT. IT. OUT," Harry yelled when Lou wouldn't stop poking him in the side.
"I wasn't doing anything!" he lied, attempting to hide his smirk. Harry just narrowed his eyes at him and scooted away. I giggled at his reaction.
The plane ride had been pretty long and boring, and we had just gotten in the car to drive to the flat. It was about thirty or so miles from the airport, although there was tons of traffic so we would be waiting here for a while. I put in my ear buds and blasted my music, humming along, and getting lost in my thoughts.
Liam and Danielle hadn't been doing very well for a while, and the tour was straining their relationship. One night, Liam got a call from Dani saying that she thinks they need some time apart. She said that they couldn't spend months at a time without seeing each other, and that it was just too hard for her.
He was absolutely heartbroken, and he hasn't been the same for a while. His smile isn't as bright as it used to be. He doesn't laugh as much, he's always quiet. It's like he's slipped into some form of depression since the break-up. That was part of the reason we came out to California, to get his mind off of things and try to get back the old Liam.
We had all agreed that we would try our hardest to make him happy again. Nobody likes a sad Liam.
Megan reached across the seat and poked me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yes?" I asked, looking over at her.
"You were zoning out, space case. I was trying to get you to join the conversation!" she replied. I had obviously missed their conversation while I was lost in my thoughts.
"Okay, what are we talking about?"
"We were just talking about what we wanted to do while we're here, any ideas?"
"Um... go to the beach? I really want to learn how to surf... that would be cool," I said. I had never been to the ocean, so it would be nice to try something new.
"Oh yeah? I could teach you, if ya want," Louis added. Whenever the boys went to Australia, he and Liam would go surfing.
"Sure! That'll be fun," I replied with a smile. We would all be able to have fun at the beach, and Louis and I would get some couple time too. We haven't been able to see each other much for a while. The boys had been touring all over for the Take Me Home tour and haven't been able to come home or talk much for the past few months.
Other ideas started flying around, Liam saying that he would like to go surfing with me and Lou, Niall saying he wanted to take Megan sightseeing, Zayn saying something about wanting to get Perrie out here, and Harry saying that he just wanted to see the city.
I looked over at Megan and Niall talking about what they wanted to do and Zayn, Liam, and Harry deep in conversation about something. I then looked up at Lou, who looked down at our intertwined fingers.
He looked back at me and put his head against mine. He gently squeezed my hand and started rubbing circles on my thumb with his own. "You know, you're quite cute when you're sleepy," he whispered. I smiled and moved my head so that it was resting against his shoulder. "I missed you, you know. It was hard not having you around all the time," I confessed.
"I know. I missed you too, so much. I'm just glad that we can be together now. Let's make the most of our vacation and have some fun, okay?" he said.
"Alright."
The traffic had finally cleared up some and we were able to move through traffic pretty quickly. I was excited to see where we would be staying for the next few weeks.
The rest of the ride was full of chattering, music, and jokes. Whenever a song came on the radio and we all knew it, we would sing it at the top of our lungs, sounding absolutely terrible but having fun.
After a while of having fun, Liam had looked back at us and said, "Hey, we're here! Check it out!" Liam had pulled up into the driveway, and after we all climbed out, Megan and I gasped.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hey! I know it's been a while, and I'm EXTREMELY sorry about that! I feel terrible... hopefully you can forgive me? I know this is short and probably less than decent, but hey I updated right? Lol... I SWEAR that I will update as often as I can.
Five votes and three comments would be lovely :)
