Me, Myself, and Harry Styles

Chapter 15

We had everything packed up and shoved into our large suitcases. All nine of us were checking our luggage into the airport.

"So, I got us all a couple of wedding dress catalogues to look through while we are in the plane.  We can all circle the ones we like and then go from there."  Vee shoved her huge bag onto the scale. After that was done, she handed out a wedding dress magazine to each of us. We all put the magazines onto our carry ons and we headed down to the private jet. Fans line the walk down to the terminal. They were all trying to get our attention, cameras were flashing, little girls screaming. I signed a few autographs and then proceeded to the stairs that went outside. The girls and I ran through the cold and into the mini plane. A slight trickle of rain took it's place outside as we all buckled in.

"Damn, this is NICE," Sammi gasped. 

"Hey isn't this the boys' plane?" Gemma asked. I nodded.

"They let us borrow it," I explained. Vee walked over to the mini fridge and grabbed three bottles of wine. 

"Let's open up these bad boys!" She was about to pour herself a glass when the flight attendant stopped her.

"Sorry, you can't open that until we get above a certain elevation," She explained, "Now, ladies, please sit down and buckle up..." 

The attendant went over safety instructions and everything. She then took her own seat as we entered the runway and started to fly. I looked through the magazines with one pen in my right hand. There were some really extravagant ones, feathers and sequins lining every piece of the garment. And then there were the plain ones. One was a white silk almost night gown. I don't even think the designer for that dress even tried. I wanted something that caught everyone's eye but didn't blind them with glitter. Three hours passed. Gemma was listening to music, Anne was asleep, my mom and aunt were watching Phantom of the Opera on the TV, Vee was sipping the wine, Arden was looking out the window and Julia was also looking through the wedding dress catalogue. 

"Hey Gemma?" I nudged her lightly.

"Yeah?" she answered, pulling her earphones out. 

"Would you guys like to go surprise Harry when he's on tour? You, me and Anne can go and visit." I suggested, marking a page in the magazine and placing it on my lap.

"That would be really nice, actually. I'll check to see when I'm free and we can coordinate," She yawned. I smiled in agreement and went to the magazine. I had about six dresses circled. I knew what I wanted. Two of them were mermaid dresses, one was a ball gown, and the other was a princess dress. I decided to take a nap for the next four hours. That wasn't possible, because of Vee.

"Liz, you awake?" she poked my shoulder. 

"What?" I groggily asked. 

"Oh, I forgot. Get back to sleeping," she smiled nicely at me. I tried to go to sleep for another thirty minutes.

"I remember! Liz, wake up!" she rolled over to me from the opposite side of the couch. I threw the pillow I was using at her. "We are gonna be on 'Say Yes to the Dress'!" I perked up from sleep. 

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I asked, wanting to know when she found out about this.

"Well, the producer called me when the pictures of us at the airport were published in a rag, anyways, he told me that they'd be filming us there," she explained, sipping another glass of wine.

"Well, let's discuss this in the hotel room when everyone is awake and attentive," I tried to rub the sleep out of my eyes. I looked at the clock on the wall, it read 11:01. I bit my lip and looked out the window. The clear blue sky was happy above the darker rain clouds. I looked over at my mom, who was reading a book. I walked over to her and sat down. I rested my head on her shoulder and said,

"Sorry that I wasn't talking wihth you and Dad, I've been really busy with the new album and wedding planning," I apologized. She patted my head.

"It's okay, honey. I'm just glad that you're happy and in good health, that's all I've ever wanted for you and your brother," she kissed my forehead. "And, if I may add, Harry is quite the package."

I chuckled at my mom. I then fell asleep on her shoulder...

I woke up in the plane.

"Liz, get up," Anne slightly shook my shoulders, trying to get me awake. I stood up and stretched. I grabbed my purse and zipped up my coat, it was raining outside. We all got off the plane and climbed up the stairs to get into the terminal. I walked next to Arden.

"Damn, these people really want a picture of you," she was talking about the fans who were surrounding the airport.

"We'll probably have security walk us out, for safety." I explained, still tired.

"How'd you get so used to it? It's so weird having people take pictures of us. It's like... I don't know. Just really weird,"  she pursed her lips.

"Have you ever met Harry?" I asked her, curious.

"I webcammed him with you once when you were recording your first album. But, I have seen you guys together all over the internet. You two are cute," she smiled. "And I can't wait till the bachelorette party! You know what? We should go out tomorrow night! Just you, me, Julia!" 

"I don't know about that, you know how I get at clubs. I'm getting married in six months, and no drunken mistake is going to stop me," I pointed out.

"You really are a changed woman!" She joked. We all got into our rented Cadillac escalade."And, also we don't HAVE to find guys at the club," she raised her eyebrows, expecting an answer.

"I guess a little dancing couldn't hurt..." I smiled.

"YAY! I'll go find a club nearby when we get to the hotel. We are gonna live up this city!"  She was a little too excited to get smash drunk and possibly stain her reputation. We finally pulled up to the Hilton and our bags were taken away to be put up into our rooms. 

"Hey! Elizabeth! Autograph?" some 15 year old boy yelled from behind the gates; the barricades were our only stable security. I walked over to the young teen with a pleasant smile on my face. After signing, he asked, 

"Do you think that you can kiss me for the camera? I bet some friends back in Montana that I could get a kiss from you." he pleaded. I chuckled and kissed him on the cheek as he snapped a picture. He thanked me and I said goodbye. I looked for the others. Gemma and Anne were taking pictures with one direction fans and the rest of the crew were already inside, avoiding the invasive crowd. We all eventually got our rooms cards and reached our rooms. I opened the door to reveal a large living room- kitchen area. There were french doors that led to a bedroom that had two full size beds and a joined bathroom. The view was fantastic and I was surprised that we got such a good deal on the room. 

'Damn," Vee whistled under her breath. 

"I know, right?" Sammi agreed. Arden and I were just silent, the amazement of us profound in the atmosphere. My mom and aunt are sharing a room like this. And ditto for Anne and Gemma. I was glad that I chose this hotel, it was perfect. I jumped on one of the beds and lay on my back, staring up at the ceiling.

"In all honesty, I don't really want to go clubbing. I'm really tired," I confessed. Arden nodded.

"I knew you were tired, you had that look in your eyes,"

"You mean under them?" I joked pointing ot the dark circles under my eyes. It was going to be a long night of good sleep. I couldn't remember the last time I had a decent amount of rest.

We all hung inside of our rooms, setting things up and lounging. I was doing work, uploading some recorded songs to my manager. I had finished tons of work last month, so that these last couple of months before the wedding could be easy on me. I checked twitter and found a couple of rumors spreading about Harry. One was that he was having an affair with some girl back from Cheshire while he was away from me. I clicked on the link and a bunch of photos popped up with him walking out of a bar with a brunette.

Great, what a fun way to start wedding dress shopping.
