Until I Find You Again // Book One

Chapter 21

I'd never been to the United States. Which was weird considering I'd been with Niall on tour numerous times. But it was always during the European tours. I liked to say close to London with Lucy being so young.

New York was a trip. Fast paced the minute we got off the plane even though it was the evening. Which also felt strange, I mean we'd just been on a plane for almost 8 hours and yet it was still the same day.

Jessica clutched my hand as we walked through JFK. She pushed Niall's name and put her phone up to her ear,

"Hey...just landed."

I could hear his Irish accent through his phone even though I couldn't hear what he was saying. Jessica's eyes widened,

"You sent me a car? Niall-" She stopped talking long enough to listen to him and I smiled. It didn't seem like Jessica did that with anyone. She nodded, "Ok. Well it's gonna take me a bit to get my bags and stuff. I'd say I won't get there till close to midnight." She nodded again, a big smile spreading across her face, "Yeah, I can't wait to see you either." And the next moment her smile disappeared and she rolled her eyes, "Yes thank you, Niall. I'll be sure not to take candy from any strangers."

She pulled the phone away from her ear and hit the hang up button,

"He's such an asshole sometimes."

I was exhausted. It may have only been midnight in New York but Jessica and I had been up for a good 24 hours at this point. While on the way to the hotel in the car Niall had gotten for us I almost dozed off twice. It shouldn't have taken us as long to get to the hotel as it did but traffic was terrible even though it was so late. I figured NYC was just one of those places that always had shitty traffic.

My exhaustion all but left my body the minute we pulled up in front of the hotel. Knowing that I would see Harry in a few short moments made my palms instantly start to sweat. The anticipation of seeing his face was more than I could take.

Jessica shot me a worried glance and then handed me my bag,

"Well, let's go see what the big jerk has to say for himself."

I took the first few steps into the hotel and glanced around. There were fans sitting on both sides of the door and a few more pockets of them camped out by the elevators. A few of them acknowledged me and Jessica when we walked in. I saw a few whispers and points, but other than that there was nothing. I breathed a sigh of relief. At least that hurdle was over.

I followed Jessica into one of the elevators and watched as she pushed the button for the 11th floor. No doubt the boys had bought out the whole floor.

My anxiety levels rose as the elevator did. I felt like I was being taken to my execution almost. The elevator doors dinged and I held my breath.

It was time.

My heart was in my throat. I was sure I was about to puke. The floor was quiet. I was sure most of the people on it were asleep. Jessica walked past me,

"We're lookin forrrrr.....1183." She stopped in front of a door and raised her hand. I dropped my head. I had never been more happy to hear Niall's Irish accent than I was at that moment. He pulled Jessica into his arms, a huge happy smile on his face,

"Been waitin' for you all night, Sunshine." She smiled, a high pitched giggle escaping her mouth when he pulled her up off her feet and swung her around,

"Nialllll!!" He set her back down and covered her mouth in a deep kiss. It was nice to see Niall so happy. He deserved it.

Niall pulled away, his hands going to either side of her face. And that's when he saw me standing behind her. I felt bad for interrupting their moment. His eyes widened,
