Aeroplane

Chapter Two - Aleona

Chapter Two.

"Aleona Will Payne! Have you any idea of how much I missed you?" One of the British lads tackled me into a hug.

Yes, I am now with my brother and his four best mates in a van and also for the rest of their tour. This was Liam's gift for me - To spend more time with me on his break and tour. It was a simple and sweet gift from him. Okay, not that simple but it was still sweet.

Pardon me for not squealing and getting all crazy that I was on tour with One Direction. Am I supposed to be jumping around like a retarded monkey too? But I'm not, I wonder why... Oh right, I'm Liam Payne's sister. Although I love the boys and my brother, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a fan. I'd always picture Liam as my regular brother and his bandmates as four adorable dorks.

Back to the topic, the boys have just picked me up from the airport after I agreed to Liam's proposal five days ago. We were currently in a van and on the way back to Niall's flat. Did I mention that their fans had terribly strong stamina? Some of them continue to sprint after our van for at least twenty to thirty minutes until they finally gave up. I wonder if they were illegible for the Olympics, you'd never know.

Earlier on, Louis had mentioned for me to try to ignore the paparazzi and envious fans or in conclusion, the hate. Might I add 'Not getting killed by lunatic fans' into the list too? On a scale of one to ten, the chances of this event to occur would probably be nine to eleven. Have you seen how one normal girl could alert the whole city of Directioners of One Direction's whereabouts and in about five to ten minutes, they'd be swirling all around them to touch or get in any contact with them? It's a bit absurd but I would do the same if Michael Bublé or Ed Sheeran was in town.

I diverted my attention back to the person who was squishing me and burying my face into his chest, Harry. One of his loose curls tickled my cheek, looks like somebody needs a haircut. I pushed myself away from him and steadied myself onto the seat. Wanting to answer the boy, Liam beat me to it.

"Harry! Hands off a bit? She's my sister remember?" Liam whined.

Harry threw his hands up in surrender, his eyes widening in defence. Rolling my eyes, I slumped back in my seat and stuck my tongue out at Liam which earned a couple of muffled laughs from the guys. Totally wrong move because Liam glared back at me in response. Before I could come up with a comment, Niall nudged my elbow and shot me a warning look. This was definitely such a great way to start off things.

"Al, Niall and I would be showing you around Liam's flat after lunch at Niall's then we'd do a short tour around our residence complex." Nodding in reply, Zayn shot me a short smile before slumping back onto his seat and dozing off.

Another period of awkward silence. And you thought that it would be a lovely and beautiful reunion? Last I checked, this wasn't the reunion of Cinderella and her Prince Charming.

My cheeks puffed up and my shoulders drooped as we entered the residence. Different houses had different models and structures but everyone here had one thing in common, they were all bloody rich or famous or both. Even Ed Sheeran lived in the complex! If Liam wasn't in the van, I would have gotten too hyper and ramble on and on about how much I loved Ed. But ofcourse, Liam had to be there and ruin my moment of glory.

Dragging me out by the hand, Niall started off the tour before Liam could start anything. "The guys will bring your stuff up to your room, so there's no worries about that for now." He assured. I just nodded in reply as Niall slung his arm around me, steering me to different direction every now and then.

"Over here is Harry and Lou's place... On the left, that's Jade's, Jade from Little Mix... On the opposite of hers is Perrie's and mine is on the right side of hers... Liam and yours is the one two houses away from Perrie's, which is beside Ed Sheeran's... And Niall's on the opposite of yours and Liam's!" Zayn stopped us in the middle of the empty road and pointed at the different houses, explaining slowly.
