NIALL'S POV

----------------

I groaned loudly as the sun shone through the slightly opened curtains in my room, disturbing me from my not-so-peaceful sleep. Rolling over and tucking myself into the blankets even more, I looked at the time on my phone. I groaned again, rubbing the back of my head. 9:30am , tour day. My thoughts wandered to Imogen as they did every morning. Don't worry, the plan will work, I thought to myself. It will. I flipped the blankets off myself, rolling off my bed and thumping painfully onto the floor.

The smell of bacon motivated me to pull myself up off the floor and trudge down the hallway into the kitchen, where I found four boys in their underwear sitting around a table filled with bacon. Smiling, I pulled off my pyjama pants, revealing my pink and black underwear to join in and sat down next to Harry. The door slammed and Danielle walked around the corner, dropping her keys on the bench and kissing Liam on the cheek. Louis cleared his throat and tilted his head sassily, making sure his cheek was pointed at Dani. She grabbed an egg from the counter and crushed it against his cheek, earning a "manly" scream.

"Louis, no!" Danielle squealed as Louis mashed what was left of the egg on to her shirt. Liam chuckled, Dani slapped his shoulder before sitting down in the spare chair next to Zayn.

"Sorry babe, I'll get you another shirt from my room." He said, kissing her forehead and jogging upstairs in his undies.

I shovelled a forkful of bacon into my mouth as my thoughts wandered to the plans for today. Once we'd finished breakfast, all the boys would say goodbye to their girls, hopefully I will get to as well. After all the goodbyes, we'd fly straight to Ireland on a 1:45pm flight. I had organised to see my family and bring Imogen along to meet them, hopefully that'll still happen too. If the plan works, everything will be perfect again.

"Nialler, I'm going to Mia's place in about half an hour, you're still coming yeah?" Harry snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." I responded. Liam thumped back down the stairs and threw a shirt to Danielle. He sat back down grabbed a tissue.

"Wouldn't miss what?" He sniffled and blew his nose. I filled my glass with orange juice, bringing it to my lips and motioning to Harry.

"Niall wouldn't miss coming to Mia's place with me so he can see Imogen and talk to her. She stayed with Mia last night."

Danielle stood behind my chair and wrapped her slender arms around my shoulders, giving me a comforting squeeze after she changed her shirt. Louis looked at her with a evil grin on his face.

"Well kiddies, I'm going to see Perrie. Meeting back here at 12:30?" Zayn asked. Liam nodded. Zayn rose, putting his plate in the sink and walking to the front door. Harry opened his mouth to tell Zayn he was still in his undies but Louis stopped him.

"Just wait and see how long it takes him to realise." Louis covered Harry's mouth with a piece of bacon.

Zayn called out saying goodbye and we heard the front door slam shut. Liam was muffling his chuckles and burst out laughing when Harry did. I laughed along with them, Louis and Danielle joining in not long after. A couple minutes later, we shut up when we heard the door open and close again. Zayn shuffled back into the kitchen and looked at us, our faces red from trying not to laugh.

He bit his lip and looked at the ceiling and said, "It's a bit chilly out there.", before smashing an egg on Harry's head and rushing back to his room to get changed. Harry turned around to face Louis, mouth wide open in astonishment. Louis shrugged and went to go get dressed, Harry and I soon followed. I threw on my dark blue jeans, 'free hugs' shirt that Imogen loved, and black Supra Skytop sneakers. All my luggage was packed and ready to go for when we all meet back here. Zayn had already left by the time I ran back down stairs. We said goodbye to Liam and Dani who were happily cuddling on the couch watching movies.
