Chapter 9

_____Hazel's POV____
When I woke up it was just me in bed. None of the other boys were still sleeping. Which made me wonder what time it was because Niall's a late sleeper.

I sit up and grab my phone from under the pillow where I had put it last night. It was 1 in the afternoon. Holy shit. I look at the notifications and come across my reminder that I have work. I forgot to call in and tell them I'm gone. I didn't even think about it. I might as well quit. I pul up my contacts and find my bosses number and call it.

"Michelle speaking. How can I help?" She answered with her usual business greeting. She also was a traveling accountant so she got calls from clients all the time.

"Hey, its Hazel. Wanted to tell you that I'm at a last minute vacation kind of thing. Dad didn't care so I wanted to tell yo-" she cut me off before I could finish the last word.

"Oh. Yeah. Your dad said not to let in anyways. He was saying something about you quitting and causing a huge scene?"

"What?!! I did not quit or even fight. He made all of that up!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt so betrayed.

"What a jerk. I'm so sorry Hazel. He even called the other stores and told them to keep you out! This is terrible..." I accepted her apology and told I would figure things out. We ended the call and went on with our own business. I just sat there starig at my phone. Trying to comprehend everything. Tears started pouring down my face. I don't understand what I have done to deserve this.

Niall walks in and instantly comes to my side. He picks me up and sits me on his lap after taking a seat on the floor. He held me while I let it all out. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I didn't understand.

I cried until I couldn't anymore. Once Niall realized I was just sobbing he put his thumb under my chin and lifted it to meet my eyed with his. He used his other hand to wipe under my eyes and asked me what was wrong.

"My dad told my boss that I quit and then banned me from every Nando's he owns. I don't understand what I've ever done to him. I've always respected him. I've always done as he's told me. I don't know what else he wants. I just... I'm so lost. My moms gone. My dad hates me. I have no one. I don't have anyone else to go to anymore...." I started to cry again.

"You have me" when he looked me in the eyes and said that I couldn't control myself anymore. I smashed my lips against his. I wrapped my arms around his neck and played with hair at the nape of his neck. His hands trailed down to my hips and his grip got tighter. I pulled away and looked into his eyes. There was this spark in them. I didn't know what it was but it was like he was in a trance. His eyes never left mine. Once I realized what had just happened I quickly got up and apologized over and over again. I don't know what came over me. As I was pacing and panicking Niall stood up and watched me. Just stood there. Staring at me. "I don't know what I was thinking. I'm not even good enough for you. I'm so so-" Niall's soft lips pressed against mine gently as he pulled me closer to him. He had my body completely pressed against his. He pulled away and brought his hand up to my face, tucking a piece of hair that had fallen when he pulled me closer behind my ear. He left his hand on my face and cupped my cheek.

"Your perfect. Don't apologize. If anything I should be saying thank you. I enjoyed every second of that. Your a beautiful girl, Hazel. Don't say your not good enough for me. If anything your better." His voice was so honest and steady. I felt my cheeks heat up instantly. I tried hiding it but he kept my head up with his hand. I didnt know what else to do other than to wrap my arms around his neck and smother him in a huge hug. Thankfully he returned by wrapping his arms around my torso and squeezed me just as tight.

"Thank you, Niall." He just kissed my cheek and took my hand. He pulled me to the front of the bus where there was food waiting for me.

I sat down and ate while the boys wrestled with each other on the floor. Once I was done I took my plates and put it in the mini sink then dove on top of the boys. I ended up dropping all my wait on Louis' gut which earned a loud yelp then a groan. We all stopped and started laughing hysterically as Louis groaned and cursed. He finally got up and called us even from scary the shit out of me. Once we got done laughing at him we all went back to the videogame area and played every videogame they had until it was time for us to go to bed. This time when we went to bed I didn't end up clawing Niall. He was already facing me and ready for me to cuddle. I jumped into bed with him but failed by hitting my head on the bottom of the top bunk. Which hurt. He couldn't help but laugh. After he was done making fun of me he asked if I was okay. I nodded yes and laid on his chest. I instantly fell asleep. But only felt as if it was moments after I fell asleep I was woke up by Liam yelling for us to wake up. As if in sync Niall and I groaned and covered our heads with the blanket. Liam laughed and ripped the blanket off of us. Which only earned him a slap on the arm. Never take my blankets on the morning. Liam got the hint and gave me the blanket back. Niall took it all and turned around. So I grabbed his foot and pulled him off the bed. He sat up as quick as possible and said whoever did that will pay.

"Oh yeah? And what're you gonna do to me? Kiss me?" I quipped back with my snarky remark. As soon as he realized I did it he grabbed my arms and pulled me down to the floor with him. He grabbed me and hugged my waist with his head on my chest.

"No. I'll hug you." He let go and winked at me then stood up. He helped me up and then made his bed. At least tried to. I grabbed my phone off the charger and looked at the time. It was 3 a.m.

"What the bloody hell are we doing awake?" I growled.

"Our flight departs at 4. We need to get in there by 3:30." Liam replied as kind as he could. Which only made me wanna punch him in the nose. Niall came up behind me and wrapped me in a bug hug and told me that I'm gonna have to get used to before he went to get his bags.

"Where are we flying to?" Is the only thing I wanted to know as we were walking into the airport with all of our luggage.

"California" they all answered in sync. I gladly thanked them as my excitement started to take over. I've always wanted to go to america. I wonder if I'll get to visit my sister? Oh well. We'll find out.

Once we got in the waiting area we instantly were called to get on the private jet. We ran to the airway entrance and hurried to pick a spot. I called dibs on a window seat next to Niall. They all agreed and I put my 2 suitcases and 1 carry on bag onto the shelf above my head where luggage goes. I took a seat and Niall did after putting his bags on the shelf. Its been a while since I've been on an airplane. I started to feel my nerves kick and and suddenly felt sick. Niall noticed and took my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. As we took off I kept my eyes closed and tried to relax. I squeezed Niall's hand gently to tell him I was okay. Once we were in the air I was okay again. I thought Niall would let go of my hand once I said I was okay. But he never let go.

He held onto my hand until we got off the plane.
