Chapter Twenty-Five

Natalie's POV:

After Bryan had slapped me, Niall came running in. He sat on the floor where I had landed. He removed my hand from my cheek and held my hand. He placed his hand gently on my cheek and wiped away a tear. I leaned in closer and buried my face into his neck. Bryan had run out the door as soon as Niall came in. I guess he didn't want to get in a fight with him. I heard him start his car engine and took off. Thank God he was gone.

"Are you okay?" Niall asked.

"Yeah..I think so" I replied.

"Let me help you up and into the living room" He said, standing up and offering me his hand.

I took his hand in mine, as he gently pulled me up. We made our way into the living room. He put me onto the couch, while he went into the kitchen for ice.A few minutes later, he had an ice pack and placed it on my cheek. The first touch made me shiver a little but I was fine after.

"What did you say to him?" I asked curiously.

"Well, I said you were mine and to back off. But he doesn't understand the meaning of stop. He told me that you deserve someone not famous and better for you. Then he said that what happens when I go on tour..." He said.

"What is going to happen when you go on tour?" I cut him off.

"I want to take you with us" He answered.

"Really? I don't think management will like that. Its okay, you can leave me here" I said.

"No, I'm not leaving you here for months. Now that Bryan's around, he wants you to get back together. And I don't care about management" He said.

"Niall, you almost got kicked out of the band today. I'm sure you don't want to get on their bad side" I said.

"I'm already on their badside so it doesn't make a difference" He said.

"Fine. I'll go on tour with you" I said.

"Yay!" He cheered.

"When do you leave?" I asked.

"Next week" He replied.

I sat there, with a shocked expression. But I wasn't that surprised. Niall always did things at the last minute. When we were in elementary school, he would wait until the day before to do projects. But if we were leaving next week for a few months,I need to start packing now.

"Why are you getting up?" He asked.

"I need to start packing" I replied.

"We don't leave until next week" He said.

"I know. But we're going to be away for a few months. And if we're leaving next week, I need to pack now" I said.

"Okay, I'll leave you to packing"He said.

"Wait. I need your help"I said.

"Okay. With what?" He asked.

"You know where we're going right? You can help me figure out what the weather will be like in each country" I said.

"Okay" He said, walking upstairs to my bed room.

I woke up the next week bright and early. Today was the day I was leaving to go on tour. I know I didn't have to do my hair all nice, but I'm really excited. Ever since I was 10, I have wanted to travel the world. And now, I had the chance to. I packed my last minute things and got dressed. I wore a pair of black sweat pants and a pink t-shirt. I threw my hair up into a messy bun. I only put a little makeup on and my sunglasses.

We would meet in the parking lot of the Mullengar Stadium down the street. Niall said he would pick me up at 8am.I went downstairs, carrying all my luggage. I set it all down at the bottom of the stairs and walked into the kitchen.I grabbed some water and a gronola bar. Then I heard a knock on the door. I walked out of the kitchen and into the foyer. I opened the door to find Niall.

"Morning" He greeted.

"Hey. Come in" I said.

"Okay" He responded, walking in.

"Do you want something to eat?" I offered.

"No thanks. We're eating on the bus" He replied.

"Alright" I said, finishing off the gronola bar.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

"Yup" I replied, dragging my suitcase behind.

I had my purse in my hand and walked out the door. We loaded my suitcase into Niall's car and took off.

When we arrived in the parking lot, Liam and Louis were waiting there. The bus was in the back, to keep it a secret.

"Hey Nat. What are you doing here?" Liam asked.

"I'm coming with you!" I said.

"Really? That's great. At least it won't just be us surrounded by adults" Louis said.

"Alright, Harry and Zayn arrived in the back. So, lets get ready to board the bus. Niall said goodbye to the girl" A man said.

"Paul, Natalie is coming with us" Niall said.

"Its fine with me" Paul said.

We each dragged our suitcases behind us as we made our way to the back. It took a few minutes because Louis didn't realize his suitcase was unzipped. All of his things fell out in the parking lot and he had to pick it all up. But, when we finally arrived in the back, sure enough, Harry and Zayn were waiting.

"What took so long?" Harry asked.

"Louis didn't zip his suitcase and his things fell out" I replied.

"Sorry, I didn't realize it was unzipped. I was in a hurry this morning" Louis said.

"Alright, just get on the bus" Paul said, directing us to a bus.

The bus had their faces on in. It was slightly big inside. There was only 5 beds so I would be sharing with Niall, I assumed. There were chubby holes by each bed. Me and whoever I would share a bed with, would have to share. It had a miny kitchen, a small TV, two couches and a bathroom. I was a little unsure about life on the road, but I'll take my chances because I was doing this with my four new friends and my amazing boyfriend.

I hate to say this, but sadly, this is the last chapter of Best Friends? I do plan on making a sequel. That will be about their life on the road. I don't know when I'll start posting that. I will eventually. I'll be starting school soon so I won't be able to update as often as I would like on Adopted. Please keep reading and voting for this fan fic. It means the world to me:) Thanks for reading.
