Never the Same...

Adventure Time?

I was wiping away tears and rearranging my bag. 

"Love, will you be alright?" Zayn and Harry were crouching next to me. I kept my eyes on my bag. We all stood. "Yes, I'll be fine. He's just a pig." I brushed away the dust in my face.

We all walked up deck and stood near the gates so that we could be the first ones off. I was leaning against a pole while Louis was opposite me whispering with Liam and Niall. Harry was trying to flirt with some girl and Zayn was standing with me.

There were many 'honks' and then we connected to the dock. They tied off and we all dismounted.

I still had my jumper on and it was very breezy, so I kept my head low and walked towards a coffee shop. It was an oddly cool morning so I decided to get a white coffee caramel macchiato. Shortly after my order it was added amongst five teas and twelve different scones and muffins.

I stood by the pick-up line and Liam was on the phone with Paul. 

"Is Paul alright?" I bugged. They just nodded. "He's on his way over just now. He's all aces actually." Liam patted the back of my head. 

Our order came up and we all claimed them. Niall of course had the food. Then we all made our way outside of the shop. There was people all over. "Where are we?" I asked.

"We're in Liverpool. We have a driver waiting for us. Then we'll go to Manchester, and finally to London." Niall explained.

I stood there and then it dawned on me! "Thank you all so much for getting me here. I'll be finding my own way to London. Thank you." I was already backing away and paces away from there.

I turned away and started off on my own journey. How do I get myself to London?

I was walking past shops and architectural brilliance. It was gobsmacking at how beautiful everything was. I was gapping at the buildings then I was being lifted from the ground. What the heck?!?!?!

I started struggling immediately. Only to be grabbed into a tighter embrace. I screamed and then I was slammed against and alley wall. I took a step to run but I was pinned back against the wall. I tried to scream but I was interrupted. 

"Ok, so I don't think being american has benefited you in any way." Louis started off. I stared at One Directin with wide eyes. Not because I was so breathless to be in their presence but because I was so mad that they scared me.

"However, we believe you forgot that you were going to London with us." Liam continued. I got a weird look. 

"So, we took the liberty of saying, you're coming with us. You get no say whatsoever." Niall gleaned.

Harry inputed, "Besides, I need a different view." That deserved a smack. Thanks Liam!

Then everyone looked at Zayn..."I'll be the only one to ask you, would you like to join us?" That was sweet.

Louis and Liam had my arms pinned high above my heads and Niall was centering me. I still felt weird. "Can you guys let go of me?" I wriggled around a bit. They let go. I straightened up a bit.

"I don't want to impose. I was supposed to be moving into my new apartment three days ago!!!" I looked down at my worn out converse...defeated.

"That's rubbish." Harry spat.

I looked up at him and he walked away. Louis and Niall trailed after him. Liam and Zayn intertwined fingers with me and led us towards a car. I squirmed a little bit. Zayn got in and Liam stopped to talk to me.

"What's up with you Rain?" He pushed a little bit, "You told me that you'd explain later, but you ended up leaving after we ate at the diner."

I fidgeted, "M-m-my parents, d-d-died a month ag-go. I didn't...know how to handle it. So, so I moved here." I was choking back sobs and the look on his face was pure torture. He hugged me.

"There's something else." I whispered, "That guy.....the one from the plane. That's my ex-boyfriend L-Logan." As if on cue I broke down into an uncontrollable sob while Liam just held me upright and tight. A hug I've needed for a long time.
