Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

1++Taking Off

Okay, before you start reading, this story used to be called Push A Button and Rewind before I realized that the title really had nothing to do with the story, haha, so if you see anything that says "Push A Button and Rewind" in this story (in my author's notes, for example), then just ignore that. Okay, thanks and start reading ♥

Harper's POV

"You'll visit, right babe?" Charlie asked my brother, Danny.

"As much as I can and as soon as I can." Danny promised and kissed Charlie's forehead.

I rolled my eyes and walked back into my room to gather my bags. I can't take their undying love while I'm over here fucking single. Charlie is my best friend and she just so happens to be dating my older brother. That's usually every girl's dream because all best friends want to become sister-in-laws someday but not me. I just find it sickening.

"Are you guys done yet?" I asked when I approached the hallway once more.

"I'm gonna miss you too, Harper." Danny teased and pulled me in for a hug.

"Do you smell that?" I asked them and they began sniffing the air.

"Smell what?" Charlie asked after a few sniffs.

"THE SMELL OF FREEDOM!!" I shouted and Charlie cheered. "18 years of being locked up in this ratchet house and we're finally getting on a plane to England!!"

"Well we're going to miss our plane to England if Aly doesn't get here soon." Charlie stated, checking the time on her iPhone.

"Where the hell is she?" I asked no one in particular and stomped down the stairs with Charlie right behind me.

"I swear, if she makes us miss our flight, I'm gonna--" Charlie was interrupted by my front door opening.

"Sorry I'm late." Alyson apologized. "My dad had to stop for gas."

I groaned in frustration but pulled her in for a welcoming hug anyways. "Let's just get going, okay?"

"MOM! DAD! WE'RE LEAVING!" I yelled and my parents came running down the hallway.

"You girls be careful okay? If you need us, just call." Mom told us and kissed my cheek.

"We will." I half-promised. This was my chance to prove that I could live on my own and be independent. How am I going to do that if I'm calling my mom every fucking minute?

"I love you sweetie." Mom told me and I could see the tears forming in her eyes. "Jet-lagged or not, call me when you land, okay?"

"Kay." I said and gave her a kiss on the cheek along with a hug. 

My dad pulled me in for a long lasting hug and whispered into my ear, "I know you can do this. I believe in you and I'm so proud."

I smiled and pulled away from the hug. I pecked his cheek and turned to my friends who were being engulfed in huge hugs by my mom.

"Danny, make sure they get on their plane and don't leave until they take off." Dad told Danny.

"Got it. See you guys later." Danny said, grabbing the keys and opening up the front door.

Charlie, Aly, and I all walked out the door and into Danny's car. Of course, Charlie got shot gun while Aly and I had to sit in the back.

Danny started up the car and backed out of the driveway. Charlie leaned forward and turned on the radio. We Are Never Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift played through the speakers and Charlie smiled.
