The beginning

Back Home

Grace and I board the plane back to Aviano in an almost unrealistic happiness. Part of the reason is because we got our parents, the manager of One Direction and our school to agree to let us bring Harry and Niall back home with us. Of course Grace constantly pointed out the fact that it was just so that they could see what it was like living a military brats life. I, however, was really hoping to introduce my mom to Harry. Not like we were serious or anything but I really liked him and I wanted her too as well.

Harry sits down next to me, both of us straight across from Niall and grace who can't seem to stop making goo goo eyes at each other. I turn to make a comment about it to Harry, but I stop when I see the way he's staring at me. My breath catches in my throat as I wonder how he's so beautiful. I look away and we start telling the boys what to expect in Aviano. "How do we get on base?" Niall asks, his question directed at grace.

"You get passes and show then your passports. My mom will also vouch for you guys. ' grace says, making Niall nod.

"You are also getting passes to come to the school with us. However," i say, looking straight at Harry, "there are a lot of directioners at our school so BE CAREFUL. "

Harry laughs and pokes me in the side, making me squeak. I glare at him and turn to Niall to tell him to make Harry stop, but Niall just shakes his head. Eight hours later, we land in Venice, then take a rental car all two hours to Aviano. The boys sit in the front talking while grace and I crash in the backseat. Before we know it, we're getting them passes and going to the school, getting them passes there too. We tell the boys to wait outside the cafeteria for our signal. We sit down at our loser table, much to the awe of everyone, me next to monika and grace next to Liz. After a few hugs, grace turns to Monika. "You know how you said Niall would never come here?"

MONIKA snorts, "duh I remember. "

"Now!" Grace says as Niall and Harry come sit down next to us, much to the excitement of the Directioners who rush over for autographs. After all that's done, we go outside onto the grass.

"Where's my baby?" Grace says, and for a second I think she's talking about Niall until Liz tosses her a Manchester United ball. Niall makes a retching noise which he knows pisses Grace off and pretty soon they're on their own little soccer world.

GRACES POV:

I'm about to make the shot when I feel strong arms wrap around my waist and lift me up to where my feet can't touch the ground. I start flailing, "Niall!! That's cheating! You can't do that!"

He puts me down, so I run up behind him and tackle him to the ground, taking the ball in the process. He is not going to win this thing.

KATY'S POV:

I sigh and check my phone for the time, catching Harry's attention. "When does their lunch end?" He asks.

"In five minutes, thank goodness!" I say, just as Niall asks how much time they have left.

Harry looks over at me, an amused smile pulling at his lips. "You and I both know that they won't give up unless there's a winner. ' I frown and nod, looking back up at Harry. For a moment my daydreams get the better of me. "Enjoying the view?" Harry asks, referring to the fact that I was staring at him.

"Shut up!" I say, feeling a blush creep into my cheeks.

He lifts my chin up to where I'm looking at him, "it's okay," he says, "I was enjoying it too." I smile like an idiot for the rest of lunch and I can't wait until my mom meets him because I'm sure she'll love him as much as I do.
