Harriet's POV
Andy stayed over last night, nothing happened so don't get any ideas. He thought it'd be easier than going from here to back to his house and then back down to London.

That, and my mum insisted.

Today we're all heading back down to London. Laura, Liv and Danni are all meeting here and Dylan's taking us again.

"Here they are..."

"Carol!" They all ran over and gave my mum a hug. She's like a second mother to them.

"So, is everything okay between you all now?"

"Yeah. I think we just needed a bit of a step back." I just nodded in agreement. "Group hug?"

"Of course." We all hug for a few seconds. "There's also a few people with us..."

"What?" I turned round and saw the guys. "Alright Harriet?"

Just when I got used to not having him round.

"Did you miss me?" He tries hugging me and I push him away. "Yeah... You wish..."

"You must be the amazing Mrs Robbins. I'm Brooklyn."

"Oh you charmer." Oh please... He's the devil incarnate himself. "Harriet's told me all about you."

"Really?"

Cue an annoying smirk. "Shut up Brooklyn..."

"Harriet!" Brook carries on smirking, knowing he just got on my mum's good side.

Well played Gibson. Well played.

"These two must be Rye and Mikey."

Mikey and Rye both said hi to my mum and like the guys before them, they were sucking up to her. "Please call me Carol."

"Is your mum hitting on Rye?" I heard Liv whisper to us.

"He wishes." I look at Rye who couldn't look more awkward.

This is just hilarious.

"Hey guys."

"Fovvlah!" They all bro hugged each other.

Just when I got used to the peace and quiet.

"Right... We going or not?"

"Alright.. Keep your hair on." Talk about impatient. "You all better head off before Dylan has a melt down."

"Thanks mum." Mum just smiles back at him.

"See you soon." I give her a hug. "Phone me when you get there."

"Will do." I got my stuff and put it in the boot. "Are we all gonna fit in this car?"

"We can try."

We didn't... Brook and his fat arse took up all the room. I'm kidding that was uncalled for...

We ended up having to go in two cars. My mum taking half and the other half with Dylan.

After a 4 hour drive we were finally back home.

"Here we are..."

"Mum you do realise it means you now have to drive back 4 hours by yourself."

"Or you could just leave the car here." Danni innocently smiles. "So you can joyride it. I don't think so."

"Like we'd do such a thing.." Mum just gives her a 'you don't fool me look.' "Would you like to come up mother?"

"Seeing as I'm here."

That means yes, and you're stuck with me for the next two hours so you can't fight with Brooklyn or anyone for that matter.

I mean.. As if, right? I don't fight with Brooklyn or any of the guys.

Mum parks the car and we head upstairs. "Welcome to our home Carol."

My mum is the first through the front door, and the first thing she says is:

"It's a lot cleaner than imagined."

Typical...

"Just be glad you haven't see the guys.. They live like pigs." Laura says to my mum and she just smiles. "Excuse me?! What's that meant to mean Nicholson?"

"Exactly how it sounds Cobban." And they're off again. "Now now children... We have guests..."

"Shut up Rye..." They both shout at him.
