Bumps On The Road

Chapter 15

There was a routine, we all had divided into 2 groups, the ones who were out to the public and the crew. The A and the B team. The A team consisted of the boys and their security. B team was hair and makeup, pr, social media, cooking, and friends and family, ie me and Ava. There was also team C which was stage and production. We usually didn't travel with team C.

Team B had their own security, not as strong and not so many, we had Ryan. If were tracked down or stopped Ryan was our escort and he kept an eye out.

We arrived downstairs in lobby, Ava in Harry's arms sleeping. Everyone got organized and put their bags in the vans. We arrived at the airport, Harry took out Ava in her carseat, I quickly got out the stroller, Harry put the carseat in its place. "I'll see you soon" he pecked my lips, took his carryon and the boys went out to their fans, team B hurried through the crowd , waiting where we needed to be, at check in. We waited for the boys. After 5 minutes the mob was moving towards us so we knew the boys were coming. Team B and team A was quickly escorted to inside security given it was getting crazy. They assured us we would check in as we got to the gate. We hurried through the airport, shuffling through with our huge group and security. We were brought to a quiet security area where we all got checked, Harry taking Ava through since I was playing with Lux, we were then told to sit in the airport lounge. Flight attendants came over and Paul checked the boys and me and Ava in. Everyone else checked in themselves. Lou and I were told that our buggies needed to get weighed at the gate.

We got ourselves comfortable knew we'd be sitting here for a while. 3 whole hours till our flight. Lou was going to go get a coffee. I decided to go along. Harry wanted to come too. Now if he was not who he was and there were not people trying to meet him , this would've been a no brainer. But in reality Harry really does need to think twice about where he wants to go and what he wants to do. Harry came anyway, alone, being we didn't think it would be a problem since they didn't know what terminal the boys were in.

Lux was in Harry's arms, Ava in her carseat sleeping away. It was nice to just walk around without other people. Just us, friends. We stopped at a cafe and got our coffees I got an ice tea we sat down at a table and chatted.

We headed back towards the lounge, stopping to walk around a duty free.

We walked in and 3 out of 4 boys were asleep. I laughed at that. They were exhausted.

It was soon time to head to the gate, Paul woke up the boys while Harry woke Louis up who he slapped on the leg "ow mate" he yelled back at Harry kicking him in his shins, while Harry ran away giggling.

Boarding was in 20 minutes so we found an area to wait and we sat down, Harry and Zayn began to play along with Lux who was dancing to some music she heard from the nearby store. The boys joined in and danced with her, rapping and soon Lux was giggling as Zayn spun her around. Liam was on his phone talking to his mummy as he called her. Louis was debating something with Marco and T.

Lou and I quickly folded down our strollers, Harry lugged Ava's carseat down the sleeve. We settled into our seats for the 4 hour flight I buckled Ava's carseat into the window seat, fixing her hood so the sun didn't come through. I settled into Harry's shoulder while we waited for the plane to board.
