How it All Started (A One Direction fanfiction)

Chapter 18

I wake up to the suns bright rays making its way through the tent. The birds are chirping and it reminds me of a peaceful setting of a movie. This is a pretty nice way for a bad day to start.

I really don't wanna leave this place. I want to see the boys and El every day, have fun until the night falls and do it all over again the next day. I remember when I was first invited on this trip, I was so nervous. Looking back on it, I realize how stupid that was. Everything Eleanor told me was right, they would love me. And on top of it all, I met my new boyfriend. I don't think this trip could have turned out any better than it did. And now we have to leave, which makes me feel like crying. In the past couple of days, I've grown so close to these people that I feel like we're family now, and I don't want to be away from them.

Then again, there's always that voice in the back of my mind that reminds me that we'll be getting together a lot.

I pull myself out if my sleeping bag and rub the sleep out of my eyes. After letting out a yawn I get ready for the day careful not to wake a dozing Eleanor. I unzip the tent as quietly as I can before stepping outside and feeling the sun warm me.

I look around to see only Liam and Niall. I walk up and sit next to them on the bench. Liam smiles at me and Niall puts his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. He's so protective in the slightest ways like this, and I think it's so cute. I'm turning into softie, wow.

"What time is it?" I ask stifling a yawn.

"It's almost 8:15," Liam answered after checking his watch.

"Why are you guys up so early? Why am I up so early?" I asked confused considering we usually sleep in past this.

"Well the sun was really bright this morning. I don't know how the others are sleeping through it," Niall explains.

"Ohhh." I reply as I admire how adorable sleepy Niall is. His eyes are only half open, and his cheeks are a bright shade of red. His hair is ruffled and messed up, but still looks perfect.

"So how did you sleep?" He asks.

"Okay I guess, I never really remember. You?" I tell him, like I tell every other person who asks me that ridiculous question.

"Okay. Would have been better if you were there though." He says, smiling over at me. He really knows how to make me melt.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here." Louis smirks as he and Harry make their way over to us. Harry seems like a giant next to Louis, he's so much taller it's actually funny to see them walking next to each other. They're like partners in crime, really the best of friends.

"What do you mean?" I say with an attitude as I glare over at him. It's so natural with him for me to just have an attitude all the time.

"You and Niall is what I mean." He grins as he tilts his head over to Niall.

"What about us?" Niall asks before I even have a chance to open my mouth.

"You're all... Coupley now. Trying to be all cute like. I see how it is."

"What?" I say, laughingly. We're a couple what does he expect us to do never go near each other?

"Trying to be a cuter couple than me and El. I get it don't worry." Now I'm really laughing. This little child takes everything as a competition, even more than me.

"Dating is not a competition of who's a cuter couple. We don't try to be cute it just happens." I laugh, even harder than I was before. He's ridiculous.

"Just give it up now, Tomlinson. It's better for you." Niall laughs as well. We've been so wrapped up in this conversation that I haven't even noticed all of that Zayn and El had finally gotten up. I swear those two could never wake up for the rest of their lives, not being dead that is, and love it.
