She's Not Afraid

Chapter 33

***One week later;Drew's pov***

I stuffed the last piece of clothing into my bag just as Niall walked in.

"You ready?" Niall asked, looking around the room.

"Yep." I smiled, zipping the suitcase.

"Ill take that." Niall replied in a posh tone, taking my suitcase.

"See you downstairs in a few." I giggled.

"Dont be long." Niall winked, causing me to giggle once more before he left.

Truth is,Niall and I became really close since Harry and I split.He was the only one nice enough to even try to comfort me.Now here we are,the day before thier tour starts.I cant really believe that Im actually going to get to go home.I guess Im finally free.After three months, being brutally raped, beaten like a punching bag, and thrown around like a rag doll,I was finally going home.This secret would stay with me forever, but so would the haunting memories.The only way I knew I could go on was with the thought of my baby in mind.I had to be there and be strong for him.And its sad,I know,but I have to do this.Even if I have to do it alone.I took one last look around the room before walking downstairs just as Niall go to the bottom step.

"I was just about to go get you." Niall smiled.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought." I apologized.

"Thats what I expected." Niall teased.

"Shut up Blondie." I joked, punching his arm.

"Right back at cha Short-Stack." Niall chuckled.

"I cant belive you." I replied, rolling my eyes and walking out to the cab that was waiting to bring us to the airport.

The rest of the boys had left about ten minutes earlier than the two of us,so they were probably already waiting for us at the airport.Niall and I slid into the backseat,and I couldnt help but think about the last time we got into a cab together.I smiled as Niall wrapped his arm around my shoulder just as he did last time.The ride to the airport didnt take long and we were standing outside,getting mobbed by fans,sooner than I was ready for,but I put up with them by thinking of finally being able to go home.We were led into the building and through all of the security and ticket checks to where to rest of the boys were waiting for us.

"This is it." Zayn smiled brightly.

"Take Me Home Tour,here we come!" Louis yelled, beginning towards the plane to New York.

We all laughed and followed him over to the boarding entrance of our plane.Once we boarded the plane, I took a window seat and Niall sat next to me.Unfortunately, Harry decided to sit on the other side of Niall.

"This outta be fun." I mumbled sarcastically.

Niall nudged me and nooded to his hand.My phone and a pair of earbuds were enclosed in his long fingers.I mouthed 'thank you' and took them, placing the earbuds in my ears and turning my phone to 'airplane mode' before starting my music.

"I thought you might need that." Niall whispered after taking out the earbud closest to him.

"Whats the secret?" Harry asked, leaning around Niall so that he could see me.

As he noticed the phone in my hands, his eyes grew wide and he leaned around the back of his seat to talk to Liam.

"Absolutely not." Liam growled, leaning over the top of my seat.

I gave him a questioning look as I slid my phone under my leg.

"Give it." Liam demanded, holding a hand out.

"Is there something wrong?" a passing flight attendant asked.

"She has something of mine." Liam lied.

"Liar!" Niall and I shot back quickly.

"Sir,please sit down." she sighed, waiting until Liam sat to leave.

I sighed, pulling my phone out from under my leg just as it was announced that the plane was now taking off.Did I mention Im deathly afraid of planes even though Ive never really ridden one?Yeah.This is going to be loads of fun...
