LANEY’S POV

    “Laney babe how are you?!” Louis greets me.  

“Hi Lou” I chuckle as I give him a hug.  

I go down the line, hugging each one of the boys, giving each one a message telling them that I’ve missed them.  

After I hug Liam and explain to him that it was hard to be without one of my best friends for a while, I get to the little shit herself.  

I take a step in front of her and look at her for about 10 seconds before both of us break out into smiles.   “Rachhh” I say into her neck as I give her the biggest hug.  

“Ahem” One of the boys try to interrupt.  

“Shut your face” Rachel says, still hugging me.  

We separate and someone mumbles a ‘finally’, but I let it go, considering I’m just happy I’m with my friends again.  

“Ok ladies, I’m hungry. Can we please get something to eat?” Zayn says sitting up from his spot on the couch.  

“Oh annyythingg for you Zayn!” I say, sarcastically getting to my knees as if I was praising him.   We both laugh and he helps me up as he whispers in my ear,  

“You both ok?”  

I look at him and nod my head slightly, smiling a small smile.  

“Good, because we have a plan that you’ll hear at dinner.” He tells me as we all move out of the room going to the right.  

I look at him with a blank face open mouthed. He just motions towards the door as we start walking filling in behind the rest mouthing a, ‘It will be fine’ in my direction.    

We get to the doors where security is, and not a lot of people are around. Also considering that it’s about 11:30pm.   Bill, once again, led us out to the large cars parked in the big lot. There were two black range rovers park near my car.   

“Lanes, why don’t you get in that one with Zayn and the rest of us will get in this one. Just incase any paps get suspicious…” Liam trails off. Both Zayn and I nod as he opens the door for me, being the gentleman he is.

 “So, how’ Perrie?” I ask him as we settle.  

He looks over at me and smiles the smile that shows he’s still getting butterflies just at the mention of her name.  

“She’s more than amazing. Thanks for giving me the advice by the way, she loved the way I asked her.” He tells me referring to their engagement. "I don’t know what I would do without you Lanes, honestly.”   “Awwhh Zayniee, I’m always happy to help!” I tell him, squeezing his cheeks like a little kid just to embarrass him.  

“Ok, ok Bradford Bad Boi here” He informs me chuckling and swatting my hands away playfully.  

I laugh at our childishness and unlock my phone and open my Twitter app, refreshing it, as the song “Timber” by Kesha plays on the radio.  

After a few minutes of us on our phones with the music in the background, I finally had to ask that’s been on my mind since we left.  

“Soooooo, that plan…?” I ask cautiously, locking my phone.  

“You’ll find out soon enough Lanes, don’t worry babe.” Zayn tells me pointing to the door, signaling that we’re here.  

Looking before we got out, Zayn and I step out of the large car, keeping our heads down, walking into the restaurant across the street.  

“Make sure you try to resist playing footsie with Mr. Irish while we’re in there!” Zayn says softly as he speeds up in front of me so I can’t say anything back to him in time.  

No promises there Mr. Malik…    

NIALL’S POV    

Why couldn't I just tell her? Why couldn't I just say to her 'Lanes, I made a mistake and I'm really sorry'   Oh that's right, because damn management are dicks.  

She needs to know because I refuse to loose her once again.   

'You're an idiot Niall, a fucking idiot' I think to myself.     

We are sat in the small room of the restaurant that is separating itself from the rest of the place.   

Liam, Lou, Harry and I are all sat down, waiting for the other two as Harry speaks up,  

"I saw Tori."   

The lads and I look at each other than looking back at him trying to figure out something to respond with.    "When mate?" Louis asks him.   

"The other day in a shop. The day we got here actually." He tells us, still avoiding eye contact.   

"Oh, well did you say anything to her?" Liam asks and Harry nods.   

"I told her hello and that she looked nice. She told me she missed me and we exchanged hugs but she then told me she couldn't deal with being around people that hate her. And that she has a boyfriend called Joe." Still not making eye contact, now just blankly staring at the water that's in front of him.

"Well, she wasn't for you mate. Trust me, it will get better. You have a girl out there for you." Louis tells him, patting him on the back.   

"We're here for you lad" I add just as Zayn and Laney walk in, Laney sitting in the seat across from me #howironic   

"Did you order yet?" Zayn asks as he sits down in front of Harry.  

“Nope, we were waiting for you both to come like the gentlemen we are.” Louis says putting his menu down.  

“I’ll it when I see it.” Laney says and looks at me with a smirk.

LANEYS POV    

“Time to talk yeah?” Niall asks me.  

After dinner, we went back to the arena because the boys were staying there for two more nights than going back to their homes and seeing there families again, considering it is the end of their tour.  

We were currently sitting in one of the boys' dressing room, hanging out and catching up on everything.   I look up at him and nod, placing my drink on the coffee table in front of me.  

“Yeah we can just go to your dressing room if you want?” I ask as everyone else is still going on with conversation not noticing us.  

“Nah, I’ve got a better idea.” Niall tells me, pulling me up with out hand and out the door.
