I finished up packing my bags quickly as there was only half an hour left until we hit the road to the airport to leave to Ireland for One Directions first concert of the Midnight Memories tour. I would say that I am excited, but that would be a complete understatement.

Not only for the fact that I would be traveling around the world with my best friend but because of the places I will see, the things I will experience and the people that I'll meet. This should be good for me. Except for the fans that harass me 24/7.

"Rachel! Are ya ready to go?" Niall yelled from the bathroom in my small little apartment.

"Y'know, you don't have to yell. I would hear you even if you whispered cause this apartment is so small." I chuckled walking over to him with my bags. He looked at me with a huge grin plastered onto his face and took one of my bags from my hands.

"Thanks." I said as I readjusted myself.

"Yeah well this apartment is shit. They do know you're leaving for a while right?" Niall asked stopping before opening the door.

I nodded, "of course.."

"You're so lying. They don't know yet?"

"Well.." I sighed, "no they do not know yet, now can we go please." I smiled.

"Yeah but once were in the car you're calling then to get it sorted out." He laughed, opening up the door and walking out. I followed close behind and locked up the door.

"I will not miss this place, at all." I mumbled setting my keys into my bag and walking to the old elevator at the end of the hallway.

"I wouldn't either."

We packed up everything into Niall's car and headed to the airport where we would meet up with some security guards and then off we go. I buckled up my seatbelt and got comfortable because I knew this would be a long car ride.

"Can I plug in my phone to play some music?" I asked grabbing the chord and plugging it in regardless of what he would say.

"Sure," He smiled starting up the engine and turned out into the road.

"Aweeeesome." I laughed scrolling through my songs, trying to find one that we both would like.

"You're so weird." Niall laughed out loud. "Hurry up and pick a song."

"Yeah yeah, shut up." I replied looking up at him with a huge smile on my face.

It was hard not to like him, hell, it was hard not to love him. He could brighten anyone's day in seconds. His smile lights up a room and he's hilarious.

"Got one yet?" He looked over while stopping at a red light.

"Yeah." I mumbled clicking on 'demons by imagine dragons'

"I love this song." He stated turning up the volume to full blast and started to drive again at the flashing green light.

All I could do was smile because I already knew.

I opened the window so there could be fresh air in the vehicle. There was something about driving with the windows down that relaxed me.

Nialls POV-

Songs came and left as we drove down the straight road for hours and hours. Rachel kept dosing off but it was okay because she was still here, with me. This year will be good for her. For us.

I can't even describe how much I love her at this point. It kills me inside that I can't tell her with all the risks that comes with it. What if she didn't feel the same? Then what? What would happen with our friendship? Or what if we dated and ended up breaking up? I would loose her all together.

She woke up once again and looked out the window for a couple minutes then glanced over to me.

"You're finally awake. I was wondering if you would ever wake up." I laughed, jokingly.

"Oh be quiet." She chuckled hitting me in the arm.

silence grew throughout the vehicle and the highway was clear. No cars insight.

All Of Me by John Legend came on the speakers and my eyes perked up.

"I love this song." Rachel smiled, crossing her legs after taking her sandals off.

"I do too." I smiled back at her and turned the volume up louder than it already was. The wind was blowing in our faces and through our hair but we didn't care.

"What would I do without your smart mouth, drawing me in and you kicking me out." Rachel started singing, staring out the open window.

"My heads under water but I'm breathing fine" I chimed in with her and we both chuckled.

"ALL OF ME LOVES ALL OF YOU" We both sang at the top of our lungs and laughed.

"CAUSE I GIVE YOU ALLLLL OF ME" I sang.

"ANDY YOU GIVE ME ALLL OF YOU" She sang.

***

The song had finished and we were still laughing at how completely retarded we were but it was okay.

"Were so weird, Rachel. How do people handle us." I chuckled turning down the volume and she shrugged.

"Who knows."
