Chapter 24:

Beth's POV

Taylor, Jordayna, and Sara all started crying their eyes out when they found out about Erica. All the boys had looks of disbelief on smothered across their faces. The boys shed a few tears too. 

"How come she never told us?" Jordayna asked.

"She didn't want to tell anyone. She didn't even tell Liam. We're going to leave her alone for a bit. I don't want to bother her." Everyone nodded in agreement. The tension in the room could be noticed from a mile away.

Liam and Erica walked downstairs with tear stained eyes and nobody knew what to say. We just all ran up to them and gave them a hug. After everyone was done giving their condolences, they went to do some pre-trip shopping to get ready for the flight.

For the entire week, every single time Erica and Liam walked in the room, it was all small talk and smiles. Nobody really said much until they left the room. Slowly, we all started packing for our trips. By the day we were ready to leave, they was their usual self again. You could tell that they was still slightly upset but who can blame them?

We all headed to the airport and went to our separate terminals. There was lots of hugging and laughing but everyone only booked a 2 week trip. It worked out that everyone's flight left somewhat around the same time. Niall and I had gone on a big shopping trip before we left for Mexico to get some new clothing. He even decided to surprise me with a brand new suitcase. We sat in the terminal and talked about Erica and Liam while waiting for our flight to arrive.

"Erica was so mad that I told you. Right before the whole incident happened, she got really aggressive towards me and started freaking out," I explained to Niall.

"Did you push her?"

"NO WAY! I knew that if I accidentally made one wrong move and she fell, it could hurt the baby. But the whole incident happened right after. The only thing I did to her was hug her. That's the most I did,"

"If you were a friend and you were there for her no matter what, that's all that counts right?" He looked down at me and smiled. I sat back and put my head on his shoulder and smiled.

"Thank you, Niall." He continued smiling. Right after the deep conversation, two little girls ran up to Niall and asked for his autograph. I chuckled and watched how good he is with kids. The way he would smile and never say anything rude to them.

"Who do I make this out to?" He asked

"Alyssa and Katie please," the little brunette said. She had such good manners and she was such a cutie. She turned to me and her eyes lit up. "YOU'RE NIALL'S GIRLFRIEND. AWE LUCKY!" I laughed at her reaction.

"Yes I am," I smiled and looked over at Niall who looked proud.

"MOM! Can you get a picture of us with Niall and Beth?" I couldn't get over how cute these two were. Niall and I hugged both of them and their mom took a couple pictures. They said thank you again and ran off screaming.

"Such cute kids," I turned to Niall.

"Too bad all fans aren't that polite and cute," he chuckled. Right after the girls ran off, the lady's voice filled the terminal stating that our flight was here. I was starting to get jumpy because of my excitement. Niall grabbed my hang and we walked toward the plane together.

I was so excited to go to Mexico. I've never actually been there before. All I have heard is that it's very warm and everyone walks around offering you Spanish food and apparently there's lots of people trying to sell you things. I shook off my excitement that was starting to take over my body, intertwined my fingers with Niall's and sat down in our plane seat. I looked past Niall and out the window. Saying goodbye to London for two weeks was going to be hard, but again, I just couldn't shake the excitement. 

"Good morning, everyone," the pilot's voice came over the intercom. "We will be taking off in 30 seconds. Please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare to take off for Mexico!" I almost peed my pants right there in my seat. Niall looked at me and giggled and I couldn't help but laugh and throw my head into his shoulder while my cheeks turned the color of a tomato. He could obviously see how excited I was. 

Throughout the flight I couldn't sit still. "Babe, calm down," Niall said as he grabbed my hand. 

"Sorry. I'm just way too excited right now." I flashed a cheeky smile up at him and he returned his beautiful smile back. 

"I can see that," he laughed. I saw him start to get a little bit resteless in his seat too so I decided to call him out for it. 

"Babe, calm down," I mocked him.

"Sorry, I'm just way too excited right now," he mocked back. We burst out laughing and got some pretty ignorant stares from other passengers. We automatically quieted down our laughter but continued laughing harder under our breath. He was just so cute. I stared up at his beautiful blue eyes as he stared down into my green eyes. Our lips met and we got a couple 'awe's' from younger passengers. We were soon interrupted by the flight attendent as she cleared her voice to get our attention. We jerked away from each other and turned to look at the flight attendent who had the fakest smile on her face so I decided to flash one back. Niall squeezed my hand as he saw the sarcasm in my smile. 

"We will be landing in five minutes," she basically growled. But then she took it one step too far. "Oh, and no kissing on the plane, please, it distracts the other passengers."

I stood up and went so close to her that our noses were almost touching. "Excuse me? Who died and gave you the right to tell my boyfriend and I what to do? Are you jealous, hey? Sucks that you don't have Niall Horan as your boyfriend. Actually, do you even have a boyfriend? Or is it too hard to actually find someone that can stand you?" She had a look of disgust on her face as Niall quickly stood up and pulled me back into my seat. Meanwhile he shot the flight attendent a dirty look then turned back to me to see my face red with fury. 

"Babe, it's okay. Calm down. She's just a disrespectful bitch anyway," he said a little too loudly. I laughed in her face as she walked by. She was more angry than before. I was pretty sure I saw the devil come out of her. 

"Please fasten your seatbelts as we are about to land in Mexico," the pilot said over the intercom. We fastened our seatbelts as we felt the plane start to rapidly decrease height between the plane and the ground. 

Niall's P.O.V.

We finally landed! I couldn't stop thinking about how Beth took it to that flight attendent. She really cares about me because as mad as she can get, she doesn't lose her cool towards someone like that to stand up for someone. She usually just backs off and brushes it off. I just shook off the thought as we were greeted by the warm air that touched our skin. It was 4:00 in the afternoon, Mexico time. I could smell the ocean from the airport. Yeah, it was going to be a great two weeks there. I grabbed Beth's hand as we smiled at eachother in excitement and walked through the airport. There was a car waiting for us to escort us to the hotel when we got outside so we threw our stuff in the back of the car and climbed in. During the ride, we decided to go out for supper after we unpacked, then go around and see what Mexico has to offer for small gift stores and then take a walk on the beach. We couldn't let go of eachother the entire time.
