Chapter 20: ...

Alina’s POV

The locket. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of it.

~Flashback to their visit~

“Babe. It’s our last day. I have something for you” Harry smiled.

He pulled out a crimson box, small enough for a small piece of jewelry. He put it in my small hands and looked up into my eyes.

I slowly pried it open, revealing a silver chain with a cross on it.

“It’s a locket.” Harry nodded.

I dug my nail under one of the halves. On the left side, a small photo of me and Harry on our first date glistened. On the right, a picture of us when I surprised him at the show.

I looked back up at him, my eyes wet with tears.

“Harry…” I started but he shut me up with the contact of his pink lips on mine.

It was a short kiss, but of course a meaningful one.

“Kitten.. I want you to wear this every day, and when you miss me, squeeze it and then open it. So you know im always there for you.” He bit his lip, opening the back of the necklace and clasping it around my small neck.

~End of flashback~

Today was the day, Harry and the boys are coming home. El and Perrie were over, and we were all watching John Tucker must die. Perrie was braiding Harper’s hair, whom kept checking her phone for the time. El was eating popcorn and throwing it at the TV screen, for each time John Tucker came on. I was in a straddle, working out for the morning.

“Girls.” El put her hands out. “We HAVE to get matching tattoos.” She smirked.

Harper and Perrie faced each other and nodded, then faced Eleanor and nodded.

“Alina???” She faced me and smiled.

I thought it over for a second. Sure it would hurt, but every single one of these girls had a cute style so they wouldn’t make me get a tacky tat

“I’m up for it.” I smiled.

El clapped her hands giddily.

“What should we get?” I asked.

“AN ELEPHANT.” Perrie blurted. “I’ve always wanted a small elephant tattoo.”

Harper’s POV

“Before picture!!” El held up her phone to take a cute picture of all of us.

That girl and pictures.

The boys were coming to the airport in about 3 hours, so we had enough time. El linked arms with me, I linked arms with Alina, and Alina linked arms with Perrie.

“Lets do this.” Alina said fiercely.

We gently pushed open the tattoo parlor’s door. Suddenly the aroma of smoke and whiskey filled our noses, causing us all to cringe.

“Oh look. A herd of white girls.” One man smirked. He was bald, and COVERED with the typical “tough guy” tattoos. “You chicks want an infinity sign or an anchor, or both?”

“None.” Perrie raised an eyebrow.

“Hm. Inspirational quote?” He tried.

“No. A small elephant on the back of our necks.” Alina handed him the picture.

I was scared half to death.

PING

Nialler <3:

A tattoo?! Cool!!!! Send me a picture when your done :*

Apparently he could text on the flight.

I was 3rd to get it, after Perrie and Alina. Theirs were so cute, I was excited.

~~

We lugged our presents for the boys through the airport. Everyone was giving weird looks. We had a huge sign that said

“WELCOME HOME BOYS!!” With all their names written on them and drawings.

I brought Niall some food and a snapback. Perrie got Zayn some markers and new hair products. El got Louis some Yorkshire tea and a sassy phone case. Alina got Harry a bandana and some new boots, his were torn up.

I checked my Michael Kors watch Niall got for me and saw  that the boys would be here any moment. We put up our sign and smiled.

“HARPER!!”

“ALINA!!”

“ELLLLLIIIEEEE!!”

“PERR-PERR!!”

5 bodies were running at top-speed towards us.

“NIALL!!” I ran into him and wrapped my legs around his torso, kissing his lips I had longed for for months.

Finally once he let me down, he smiled “ Where’s this new tattoo?”

I faced my back to him and pulled my hair up into a faux-bun, exposing my elephant.

“I LOVE IT!” He kissed my cheek. “Let’s leave this place, please!”

~~

Niall was sharing all his stories to me, some about Josh’s stupidity, some about 5SOS and some drama. We had a gallon of mint chocolate chip inbetween our bodies, and 2 spoons.

“And.. OH MY GOD! Harry couldn’t even look at Luke anymore. He was so angry. Still is”Niall dipped his spoon into the green goodness.

I smiled “Well he deserved it!”

Niall nodded and pigged out on more ice cream.

It was already around 4 AM.

“WAIT!” Niall pulled out a HUUUGE bag from under his bed, and pushed it towards me. “Open.”

I was shocked. This bag could barely fit in my arms.

“Niall…” I started.

“HUSH. Open the first package.”

I rolled my eyes and did as he commanded. It was a thin package, small enough for a few sheets of paper. I slowly  ripped the packaging, unveiling 2 plane tickets to Louisiana.

I started crying. I could show him everything.  He smiled and put his arm around me.

“Surprise.” He whispered, everyone else being asleep. I hugged him like no other hug.

“NIALL HORAN.” I yell-whispered.

He smiled and told me to look at the rest of the presents.

There were dresses, shirts, snapbacks, nail polishes, scarves, shoes, anything I could want.

“Nialler. You SO outdid yourself.” I playfully slapped him “Your birthdays coming up…” I smirked.

He shook his head and said he didn’t want much at all.

“I’ve been thinking lately…” He said nervously.

CRAP. “what??” I panicked.

“do you ummm…. Wanna move in together?”
