I'm about to exit my car when my phone rings. I smile; it's Harry. I debate whether or not to answer it because I want to get to Amelia as soon as I can, but at the same time I miss all the guys terribly and it'd be great to catch up.

I go with the latter decide to answer. I swipe my screen and hold the phone to my ear. "Harry!" I shout excitedly into the phone.

"Niall!" Harry says mimicking my tone.

"Niall!" Another voice says in the background.

It sounds like...Liam?

"Is that Liam?" I ask, puzzled and a bit hurt that the guys decided to hang out a bit before the holidays and not invite me. They always invite me to hang out.

"Yeah." Harry says on the other end "We're chatting on web cam and wanted to call and say hi!"

"Oh." I say and then smile "Liam!" I shout happily making my two mates laugh.

After Barbara's visit, we've decided that all the lads are to come down to Ireland for a few weeks. I couldn't be more excited. They're going to make being home a thousand times better! I'll introduce them to Meilie and I know they'll like her. It's so easy to like her. Hell, it's so easy to love her.

"How's Ireland, Niall? Meet any babes?" Harry teases me.

I laugh, thinking of Amelia.

"NOOOO!" Liam shouts dramatically, startling me.

"Liam, man, what the hell?" Harry says in his usually slow voice pattern. "You just gave me a heart attack."

"No Harry! Don't ask anything about the opposite sex! You won't be able to get him off of the phone!" Liam warns. He sounds genuinely scared for Harry which makes me laugh even harder than I was before.

"What? What are you talking about? What is he talking about, Niall? You met somebody?" Harry asks with amusement in his voice.

I feel my cheeks get warm as I explain to my friend about seeing Amelia after eight years and how happy I get when I'm around her, and how wonderful she is, and how I almost busted her car.

"And she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my entire life." I gush, sighing and leaning back in my seat.

"Whoa, you seem to really like this girl." Harry says on the other end after I'm done rambling about Meilie.

"You're telling me. He had me on the phone for two and a half hours two nights ago talking about nothing but her." Liam says wearily "I was trying to warn you, Harry. Once you get him going on this girl, he doesn't stop."

"I think it's cute. Looks like our little Nialler is head over heels!" Harry teases and I'm glad that nobody is here to see how red my face becomes.

"Yeah yeah." I mutter happily "Listen lads, I've gotta get going. I'm spending the day with her today."

I hear a chorus if mocking "awwws" from Harry and Liam. I roll my eyes.

"Goodbye Harry. Goodbye Liam." I say sarcastically.

"Goodbye Niall!" They say in unison.

AMELIA'S P.O.V.

I apply one last coat of mascara to my top lashes and examine myself in the mirror. I smooth my hair and clothes. I hope I look alright.

Niall's going to look perfect because Niall always looks perfect. The least I can do is look decent today.

I hear a knock on the door and excitedly run down the steps two at a time.
