(2063 words)

Louis' POV

"Louis, I'm in love with the President of America. I love Barack Obama," he told me with a serious look upon his face. This is what he does though, he'll tell the most ridiculous things which are obviously lies with the most professional expression. It was honestly kind of funny. That's why I couldn't hold back my laughter.

"O-Oh Niall! You're so h-hilarious! That's funny! You love O-O-Obama!" I said, accidentally tripping over some words only because of my laughing.

"Louis, I'm-" he started off, but I cut him off with, "N-Niall, you pull a lot of f-funny things but this? HAHAHA!"

Then he gave me one of those looks. I don't even have to explain it because everyone experiences 'one of those looks'. That's when the sudden realization came to me this wasn't a lie and that he was being for real.

"Oh my god, you're being for real. I am so sorry, I just would've never thought you..wow," I spit out, just wanting to quickly apologize so he wouldn't think me a bad friend.

Thank god he didn't though.

"It's alright Lou. I understand. It's weird and kind of funny," he said to forgive me. Damn right it was weird. It was actually messed up, but I wouldn't tell him that. If he says he loves him then...hey, you can't fence love. It's can't be tamed. You love who you love, you can't help it.

I wanted to tell him that I was happy for him that he felt he found his true love, or whatever the hell is going on, but was taken away from my thought when I heard Zayn yell, "C'mon guys! We're gonna be late for our flight!"

I looked down at my watch to take a look at the time to see it was almost time to board and there was no way we were going to be the last ones on the plane.

"Oh shit, we are," I said then looked back up at him, "let's go! Wouldn't want to miss our way to your lover." I shot him a wink then turned around to quickly walk through people, pushing a few out of my way, to the gate.

When I got there, I saw Harry and Liam walking down the jet bridge and Zayn waiting for us. He gave me a small smile then turned around to board the plane, me and Niall following all the other boys.

When we all stepped into the plane, we looked to see it had three sections and three seats with each section. Good so none of us would be sitting alone.

Harry sat down first by a window, and Liam followed to beside him in the middle. I wanted to sit by Harry, but that option was immediately taken away, so I cut in front of Zayn to sit in the middle seat of the middle section. Niall and Zayn looked around to try and pick out where they wanted to sit but then had no choice when I pulled each of them over to sit by me.

After a few long minutes of waiting for the plane to take off, it finally did. I looked to my right at Niall then to my left and Zayn to see them both looking around.

"You two are boring," I told them.

I saw both of them turn their heads to look at me.

"What did I do?" Niall asked.

"I'm anything but boring," Zayn added not too long after. I shook my head then shrugged.

I then couldn't help but look over at the two boys in the section next to us giggling loudly about something.

"Harry. Liam. Keep it down," I told them, which seemed weird since it was usually one of them telling me that instead. Liam looked over at me and giggled quietly.
