Stella's POV:
Waking up this morning was strange. I looked around my large living room and saw all my friends sleeping on the couches or on the floor. I can see Eleanor is awake and she smiles at me and squirms out of Louis's embrace. I do the same with Harry. Before getting up I place a soft kiss on his cheek and he groans but doesn't wake. Eleanor and I are the only ones awake and when I look at the clock it is only 7:40am. Wow we are up early. I don't feel tired right now and plus, I will have plenty of time to sleep on the plane. Today our flight leaves at 3:00pm London time and the flight is ten hours. It is going to be a long day of travelling but thank God we have a few days off when we arrive in LA. "Morning Stel." Eleanor says hugging me. "Hey! How did you sleep?" I ask her returning the hug. "Okay considering Louis and were squished on the couch. You?" she asks me sitting on one of the barstools. "Pretty good actually, I'm not that tired right now but I know I'm going to sleep on the plane so I'll be fine." I tell her. "I can't believe you guys are leaving today." Eleanor says and she begins to pick her finger nails. "I know me either, but you are flying out with Perris in a few weeks aren't you?" I ask her. "Hopefully, nothing has been sorted yet but we will come as soon as we can." she tells me and continues to pick at the skin on her fingers. "Hey, we will be in touch everyday. I'm going to miss our routine here but I know we will see you guys often." I tell her walking around to where she is sitting. I wrap my arms around her and hug her. "Should we wake everyone up? I think we should get some breakfast before we have to leave." I tell her changing the subject. I don't want to say goodbye because I suck at them. "Yeah that's a good idea." she tells me and we both walk back into the living room and wake everyone up.
After about twenty minutes, we are all heading out for breakfast. No one has changed out of their sleep clothes and I smile to myself. This is such a bittersweet feeling, I am so unbelievably excited to get started with the tour and go to LA! I mean really, I have been wanting to go to LA for as long as I can remember. But at the same time, I don't want to leave behind my friends. They have become more then just friends to me over the past few months, they have become my sisters. Once our food is brought out we sit quietly and eat our food. No one knows what to say so no one says anything. It is not an awkward silence, just a sad silence. The boys obviously pick up the check for our food and we slowly walk back to the condo. The girls and I are holding each other and they boys are walking slowly behind us.
After fishing up some last minute packing, making sure that the condo was tidy for the next time we return, and changing into my plane outfit, it is finally time to head to the airport. The ten of us pile back into that same black SUV from last night and I wave goodbye to my Range Rover for a year. "Bye baby, I'll see you soon!" I say pouting my lip. Everyone laughs and Harry rolls his eyes at me. "What? You guys have no ide what kind of shit car I used to drive." I tell my friends and Harry laughs. "I do, Stella that thing needs to go." he jokes and I laugh. We arrive at the airport about ten minutes later and we walk to the gates. This is it. I watch as Perrie cries into Zayn's arms, Eleanor buries her face into Louis chest and Danielle and Liam share a warm hug. This really sucks, I can't imagine how hard it would be to be away from Harry for so long. I say a silent prayer thanking God for letting me go o tour with them. One by one they slowly release from each other, Danielle is my first goodbye. "This really sucks." she whispers to me and I wipe a tear from my eye. "Thank you for everything, the dancing, helping me, and just being there for me." I tell her and tears roll down her cheeks. "Stella, I will always be here for you, regardless of the situation of Liam and I." she reassures me and I smile. "Good luck with your first show! I can't wait to come out and see you live, you will do amazing, you always do." she tells and I wrap my arms around her. "Thank you Danielle, keep in touch okay?" I tell her and kiss her cheek. "Of course Stella. I love you." she says and I release her. She gives me a small wave and continues to say goodbye to the rest of the boys. Thank God we have a private gate, otherwise the fans would be going nuts right now. That would make these goodbyes that much harder. Next is Perrie. "Babe." Perrie whispers. "Babe." I say back. "I'm going to miss you so much!" she says to me and I nod. "Me too, I can't wait till you guys come visit!" I tell her and she smiles. "Me too, I love you and good luck with everything, you're going to do amazing! I know you will." she says and I hug her tightly placing a soft kiss on her cheek. "See you soon." I tell her and she moves away from me. Eleanor. Out of all the girls, I feel as though I am the closest with Eleanor. She is older than me but she has taught me so much. "El." I say and she wraps her arms around me. "Be careful okay?" she warns and I nod. "Of course. When are you coming?" I ask her. "I will be there in a few weeks." she tells me and I smile. "Okay, good." I tell her. "Good luck okay? You have such a talent Stella, and it's time that the rest of the world sees it too okay? I can't wait to watch you from the stands. Text me often, I want to hear all about tour life." she says and I smile. "Of course. Thank you for everything." I tell her and wrap my arms around her again. "Love you El." I say and place a kiss on her cheek. "Love you too Stel." she replies and moves away from me. This is it. Harry grabs my hand and intertwines his fingers with mine. "You'll see them soon love." he whispers. Zayn blow Perrie a kiss and Louis winks at Eleanor. The boys, Cristina and I turn and board the flight. "We love you guys!" the girls call out. I turn and wave to them and then we turn to enter the plane. "You ready for this baby?" Harry says once we take our seats on the plane. "One hundred percent." I tell him and he kisses my lips. Before I know it, I'm already asleep.
When I wake up I lift the window cover and look out the window. I can see land below us. Are we almost there already? "Where are we?" I ask Harry. "Landing now baby, you slept for almost the entire flight." he points out laughing at me. "Oops..." I giggle and he kisses my cheek.
When the flight lands we grab our things and head straight to a black SUV. LAX. This is so crazy. I am in LA! Excitement washes over me once we step outside. There are almost 200 screaming fans. "Stella! Stella!" I hear them calling my name. I turn to look into the crowd. "Stella, take a picture with us please!" I hear. I can't help it, I walk over to the gate even though we were told not to and I pose for a few pictures, sign a few autographs until I am pulled away by one of the body guards. We get into the car and I am scolded by that awful man. "They are my fans! I don't understand what the harm is in taking a few pictures, they said they have been there almost all day!" I complain to the body guard. I don't even know his name. He thinks he can just pull me away from MY fans like that. "Miss Adamo, it is dangerous to be around that many fans when there is nothing between you but a small gate." he tries to explain. "They are harmless. And my name is Stella thank you very much." I correct him. I turn to see Harry smirking. "What." I growl at him. "Whoa, I'm on your side, there is no reason to be fussy with me." he says raising his hands innocently. "Sorry." I grumble. "It's just I want my fans to know that I will always take pictures and be there for them, they have done so much for me already and my career has just begun." I explain to Harry. "Baby, you don't need to explain to me, I understand. They will love you no matter what though okay?" he reassures me. I scowl at the body guard and he turns away from me. "Okay." I whisper to Harry. He kisses my forehead. "We are here! Everyone out!" Niall calls out and we all climb out of the car and head through the back doors to the hotel. I cannot wait to begin this journey.
Thank you guys for reading! I know its short but I am super tired. I went straight to work after school and then I had homework. The next chapter will be much better. I promise! Hope you enjoy! Comment below what you think! Lots of love.
