Chapter Nine

NIALL'S POV

The days passed by quickly, and, before I knew it, it was time to meet the girls who had won the concert tickets. We were still in Kansas City, and were taking a plane to Georgia so we could give the girls their prize.

At tonight's concert, none other than Annie showed up. As you can imagine, Zayn and Annie were busy 'catching up', so I wanted to get away from them as soon as possible.

That's why Matt and I decided to fly to Georgia tonight and meet the girls in the morning. We got to the airport, and I was surprised at how crowded it was for a Friday night.

"So...uh...when does the plane leave?" I asked Matt, eyeing the food court on the other side of the airport.

Matt checked his watch. "In about twenty minutes," he replied calmly.

"What!?" I screeched, drawing the attention of nearly every person in the airport. It didn't take long before...

"OH MY GOD! IT'S NIALL HORAN!" a young girl shouted.

"And I'm Matt!" Matt shouted, cupping his hands around his mouth and spinning in a semicircle.

I slapped the back of his head. "Run!" I yelled as a mob of teenage girls came running at us.

Luckily, Matt and I both had just carry-on bags, so we could run straight to where we would board the plane. We both started running to the entryway, which was on the other end of the airport.

I looked over my shoulder as we were running and saw that the girls were gaining on us. "Matt!" I screamed at the boy running next to me, struggling to be heard over the screams behind us.

There were security guards everywhere trying to calm the mass of girls, but they were failing miserably. "What!" he screamed back.

"Throw them your hat!" I instructed him.

"What? Why me? Why don't you throw them something?" he replied angrily.

"Like what? My shoe? Sure! And then they can eat me! Throw them your fucking shoe!" I yelled.

He huffed and did as I said. Turning around to run backwards, he threw his hat at the fleet of girls. Once the girls noticed what he had done, they stopped chasing us and all fought with one another to get Matt's snapback.

While the girls were held up, we made it to safety. I pulled our tickets out of my jacket pocket and handed them to the woman waiting by the door. She waved us in, and Matt and I rushed aboard the plane.

We found our seats and stuffed our bags into the overhead compartment, falling into our seats in a relief. Looking around, I spotted a flight attendant and called her over.

"Can I help you, sir?" she asked in a polite tone.

"Um...any snacks?" I said.

"You'll have to wait until the flight takes off. I'll come back, okay?"

I nodded and she walked away.

MATT'S POV

To Izzy: Hey. We just got on the plane, but I'll text you in a bit, ok?

After sending her the message, I quickly turned my phone off. I looked over at Niall who was already sleeping. I rolled my eyes. Typical Niall.

Shortly, the plane took off and I switched my phone back on. I saw that it was nearly one and shut my eyes. Before I could drift off to sleep, my pone vibrated in my hand.

From Allison: Heyyyy. Izzy fell asleep, and I saw that you texted her. We're supposed to pick you guys up, right?

I smiled as I read her text. I have no idea why I did, but I did. Allison and I had been talking since the boys put me in charge of ticket delivery, a few days before I started talking to Izzy.
