Chapter Thirteen - How It All Ended

Chapter Thirteen - How It All Ended

As usual Liam was the first one to awake.  He sat up, feeling well rested, and looked around the familiar looking hotel suite.  Then it clicked.  They were back at the hotel in LA.  Finally they were home.  He shot out of bed and ran into the closest bedroom next to his which was Niall's.  He shook the sleeping blond boy.

"Niall wake up!"  He loudly whispered.  

His eyes slowly rolled open.  "Huh?"  He muttered.

"We're back!"  He continued to shake Niall's arm in excitement.

It took a minute for Niall's sleepy mind to register what Liam had said.  Once he did he sprung out of bed and started jumping up and down with Liam.

"I never thought I'd be happier to see this amazing hotel room!"  Niall beamed.

They ran into Zayn's room next.  He was always the hardest to wake up, but in a situation like this they didn't figure they would have a problem.  They both stood on one side of his bed and tried to wake him.

"Zayn!"  They both yelled.  Niall started tickling him, which made him groan and try to hide himself with the covers.

"Zayn were back.  Wake up."  Liam stated as he grabbed at him.

They heard footsteps approach the doorway, they got louder and faster.  All of the sudden two figures jumped onto Zayn's bed.  Bouncing up and down and making all sorts of noise, were a very happy Harry and Louis.

Finally this got him to get up.  They all made their way to the living room area in the suite.  Everyone got some tea or coffee and sat around on the sofas. 

"There really was a time where I didn't know if we were ever going to get out of my stupid wish."  Louis said, while sipping his tea.

"It kind of all feels like one big crazy dream."  Harry remarked.  They all nodded in agreement.

"I can't wait to just be home back in Ireland."  Niall said.

"Yeah, well we do have a flight back home today.  Which we should probably start getting ready to go."  Liam reminded.

"We could watch some television first."  Zayn teasingly suggested.

They all yelled out 'NO' at the same time.  

Once they had gotten themselves ready it was time to leave.  The boys didn't mind the hoard of young adolescent girls that surrounded the hotel once they left, or the massive bunch waiting outside of the airport doors they needed to enter.  They actually more than ever enjoyed it.  It reminded them that they really were back to their actual lives and they were more grateful than they've ever been.

They didn't even mind the twelve hour plane ride it took to take them back to England, or eleven hours it took to go back to Ireland in Niall's case.  They had some time off, so they all went back to spend time with their families and friends.

***************

I had been about a week since the boys had seen each other.  They all had been thoroughly enjoying the time spent at home with their families.  Everything was finally starting to get back to feeling like it was normal.  They had all planned to go over to Harry's flat tonight.  For being together as often as they are, after a week of not seeing one another they had all missed each other.

It was later that night and they had ordered pizzas and were all hanging out in Harry's living room.  No one had mentioned anything about what had happened yet, although it would always be in the back of their minds.

"This is good pizza."  Niall stated with a mouthful of it.

"Niall, hasn't your mum taught you to not eat with your mouth full."  Louis joked.

"How about you talk with your mouth shut."  Niall joked back.

"So has anything strange happened to anyone over the past week?"  Liam questioned,changing the mood to a more serious one.  Even without much detail they all knew what he meant.

They all responded with a 'no' or a shake of their head.  "What about you?"  Louis asked.

"Nope.  I really think that it's all over."

"Me too."  Harry happily agreed.

"You know though I was thinking, we are the only people in the world that have lived in these television shows and met some of our favorite characters.  I mean if you think of all we did and went through, it's kinda awesome."  Louis stated.

"We've been fucking cartoon characters."  Zayn added with a smirk.

"And we've battled with zombies, demons, and ghosts."  Niall added on.  

Harry shuddered.  "Well I'm glad we're done with that.  But we have meet some nice people along the way."

"Like Barney Stinson."  Niall said shaking his head in satisfaction.

"Umm are we forgetting about Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil.  That was just amazing." Louis beamed.

"I wonder if Sam, Dean, and Cas have dealt with the dijnn yet?"  Liam questioned.  "They are really awesome for helping us out of this pickle."

"We owe it all to Cas.  If it wasn't for him, who knows what show we'd be stuck in now."  Louis added.

They all chatted about all the crazy good and bad times they had had and it felt good to be able to talk about it all.  They were the only one's they could talk about all this with and in a way it made them even closer.

While Louis was in the middle of making jokes about when Harry and Zayn were on the Maury Show, Liam noticed something sitting right on top of Harry's television stand, which he was sure wasn't there a second ago.

"Guys?"  He said interrupting the conversation.  They noticed his odd tone and looked at him.  He pointed to the television stand and they all stared at it in disbelief.

There sat the exact same red and white striped popcorn bag that Castiel had with him the day they meet him.  Suddenly it clicked with all of them.  It was a sign that Castiel had dealt with the dijnn and was still looking down over them.  It was a good feeling to know that they had the most awesome angel on their side and this was just him letting them know that he was still indeed with them.
