*Noemi’s POV*
After getting off the plane, we picked up our stuff from the baggage claim area. I saw Niall was on the phone. I noticed he was a little frustrated/annoyed when I heard him roll his eyes and say “Yes you will meet her. Soon.” Her? Who’s her? Were they talking about me? All these thoughts were coming into my head when I saw Niall getting my bags and said “Hurry let’s go.” I hadn’t realized he had already gotten off the phone. I started running after Niall who was already wearing his Ray-Bans and running off, leading the way for us to hide somewhere. To be honest I kinda forgot he was a mega superstar. I mean I didn’t forget, he’s Niall Horan from One Direction for crying out loud! I just hadn’t really paid much attention to it. He acted like a normal nineteen year old. Once we were in the room, Niall took off his Ray-Bans and began apologizing when he stopped talking and froze in place. Aracely wasn’t with us. I was shocked. I can’t believe my best friend is missing! I just couldn’t hold it in any longer so I broke down crying.
*Niall’s POV*
I really hate seeing girls cry. Especially the ones I really care for. And it’s all my fault. I was the reason Aracely was missing. I just can’t believe I didn’t notice that she wasn’t following us. I just didn’t want any fans to mob me. Without thinking, I blurted out, “I’m gonna go look for her” and started heading towards the door. Noemi grabbed my hand and pulled me to her. “No you can’t! She’ll be fine! I know she will. She’s a strong young woman!” she said. She managed to stop crying, although I heard some sniffling here and there. She pulled me to her and I engulfed her in a protective hug, trying to comfort her. “We haven’t tried calling her phone so maybe she might answer” I suggested. Noemi whispered “Okay” and she let go of me to get her phone out and call her best friend. Part of me knew I had to go out and find Aracely but part of me wanted to stay with Noemi to keep her safe. She started crying again. Uh-oh. That can’t be good. “Her phone’s either dead or off. I got sent straight to her voicemail” Noemi said between sobs. I immediately got an idea. ‘I’m so glad I called Paul to come escort us. He should be somewhere in the airport right now. “Why don’t one of us go to where they announce the flights and from the intercom tell her to go to the baggage claim area?” Noemi softly said “We can try. But what about you? What if your fans stop you?” Right on cue Paul and another security guard walked in. “We won’t let that happen. Now go wait at the baggage claim area. Robert, go with her” he said and the other security guard nodded as he led the way to where we had picked up our bags.
*Noemi’s POV*
Just as Robert was leading the way, I stopped and practically yelled “Wait there’s no need to! Call Paul and Niall so they won’t do anything and tell them to meet us in the room! ARACELY!!!!” I yelled as everyone in the baggage claim area, including a confused Aracely, turned to look at me and give me a weird look. I ran to her and pulled her into a hug. “What’s going on?” Aracely asked, obviously not aware of what happened less than ten minutes ago. “I’ll explain when we get there. Robert, can you take us back to the room?” I asked the security guard. “Sure just stay right behind me. You never know who may have seen you with — uhh never mind” he stopped as he got Aracely’s bags. As soon as we got back in the room, Niall and Paul walked in right behind us. As soon as Niall saw Aracely, he ran to her and hugged her and said “Thank goodness you’re safe. I don’t know what I would have done if I knew my friend was lost because of me” I understand that she was “lost” and he was worried about her, but let’s just say I hate how I was one of the jealous types. I hadn’t noticed when Niall let go of Aracely, but next thing I knew Niall was hugging me and kind of bent over [since he was 5'11 and I was only 5 feet exactly] to whisper to me “I was worried about Aracely, but I was more worried about you” I instantly felt my cheeks turn a deep red. I smiled up at him and looked into those mesmerizing sea-blue orbs and he was looking into my brown ones. Aracely had to ruin this amazing moment [note the sarcasm].
