Different - a Niall Horan love story

Chapter 16

We have a night off today, which is the first time since tour started. I don’t know if I should be relieved or not that I don’t have to make outfits today, you know with my dad-thing going on. I guess it’s both good and not good that we have a night off. Good, because I can think about it all and then hopefully my mind finds peace with it, but on the other hand, now I have way too much time to think about it all, and no concert to distract me. So, both good and not good.

Taking a night off is like going back to my old life, you know, before One Direction. Only now, I have five boys with me, making jokes about each other or trying to sabotage someone else’s plans, and when I say someone else, I’m not only talking about the other guys, but about me too.

I want to call my parents, and of course, the guys know that, that’s pretty normal I guess. So, guess what I can’t find right now ? Yeah, my phone.

‘Louis !’ I scream. ‘Where is my phone ?’ It can’t be far away since we’re on a driving bus … I hope so anyway. ‘Louis !’

‘Louis is not here.’ Harry says.

‘Yeah, and I’m the queen of England.’ I say sarcastically. ‘For god’s sake Harry, we’re on a driving bus, how can Louis not be here ?’

‘He can fly.’ Harry smiles at me innocently, which makes me chuckle.

‘Yeah, of course he can.’ I say chuckling and walking passed him to the kitchen.

‘Why do you need him anyways ? I thought you were crushing on Niall.’ Harry says, sounding really serious.

‘What ? You think I need Louis because I have a crush on him ?’ I ask, turning around with surprise written all over my face.

‘No, but you just admitted that you like Niall !’ he says happy.

‘No, I didn’t ! Styles, you’re unbelievable.’ I say, turning around again and entering the kitchen, where I find Louis and Liam, laughing.

‘Louis William Tomlinson.’ I say.

‘Eline Cassidy.’ he says. ‘Damn, that doesn’t work with your name. Why don’t you have a middle name ?’

‘I don’t know, ask my parents.’ I shrug.

‘How am I supposed to do that ?’ he says, a sneaky smile creeping on his face.

‘Well, I could call them … if you give me my phone back !’ My voice rises at the end of the sentence. Basically, I’m trying to sound mad, but yeah, being mad at these guys is hard. Really hard. Trust me.

‘Who says I have your phone ?’ he asks, that sneaky smile never leaving.

‘Well, I don’t know, maybe that weird smile-like thing you have on your face right now.’ I say while rolling my eyes. Louis’ smile becomes bigger when I say that, and now I know for sure he has my phone. ‘Give it back Louis !’

Louis suddenly jumps up from his seat and starts running to the back of the bus. I start running after him while screaming his name. Why are we even doing this ? The bus isn’t that big, we have to stop running pretty soon probably. I hear Harry and Liam chuckling from behind us, followed by two pair of feet following me and Louis to the living room, where Niall and Zayn are. Niall’s skyping with his family, while Zayn is calling Perrie. I think they are a really cute couple.

‘You’ll never get me !’ Louis screams, making Niall and Zayn look up in shock.

‘Louis, give me back my phone !’ I scream. Now Niall and Zayn are also chuckling. Really, is it that funny to look at us ? I don’t get these guys sometimes … But I love them anyways.
