~ Liz's POV ~

"BOYS!" I called from the ground floor to the second. "There are boxes down here that need to be retrieved! We're running out of room in the doorway!"

"COMING!" A choir of voices followed from upstairs.

I sighed and rested an elbow on top of the tower of boxes blocking up the doorway of 1D's new American townhouse. We would be staying here together for a month or two, while the boys are going to be bustling around New York, doing press time and such.

Don't ask me how bunking arrangements are gonna go, with only three bedrooms in this house. All I know is I'm bunking Louis, as always. Harry'll probably be in there too. Unfortunately.

"Comin', comin', comin', comin', comin'!" Louis came thudding first down the stairs and grabbed the top box once I removed my elbow, "Thanks, Liz!"

"No problem," I watched him prance back up the stairs, then see Zayn, Harry, and Niall repeating the process.

"You're the best, Liz!"

"Thanks, Niall!"

"Thanks for letting us know!"

"Why wouldn't I, Harry?"

"Vas happin'?!"

"A New Yorkian move. That's what's happening.."

I was left alone on the empty floor again, with nothing to do except wait for the next truck of furniture to come in.

"Oh hey, guys? Lunch? What do you want?" I called when I realized the time, shutting the front door to keep out the breeze.

"Carrots." Louis soon yelled back after me.

"There is no such thing as carrots for lunch, Louis.." I drummed my fingers on the door.

"NANDO'S!" Zayn suddely hollered, coming into my view at the top of the stairs, "Oh wait.. We're not in England anymore.." and let out a fake cry of despair.

"Wait a second, we probably don't even have any food here yet!"

"Yessiree! And you know what that calls for?" Louis now appeared at the stairs, "FAST FOOD!" and came rushing down, attracting the other guys with him, cheering and laughing.

"Whoawhoawhoa.." I stopped them at the foot of the stairs with a hand, "Louis called it, therefore only Louis comes."

This sent out a handful of let-down "Awh"s, except for Louis's "Yeaaaaaaah!"

"Then how are we supposed to eat?" Niall asked.

"Uhm, it's called take-out," I replied, retrieving my keys, "Did that not exist in Ireland?"

"Heeey. Ire. pride!"

"Heeey. Ameri. pride!"

"'Eeey! Briti. pride! Vas happin'!" Zayn joined in.

"Oh whatever. Let's go, Louis. I need a break from all this moving stuff.."

"Where are you going?" Zayn called again.

"*cough* Nando's." Louis joked under his breath.

"SHUT UPPP!"

"I don't know. Whatever's around here," I explained. "Goodbye boys. Have a good time unpacking-"

"Hey, by the way, where's Liam?" Harry asked.

I hadn't even realized Liam was nowhere in sight until Harry pointed it out.

"I dunno. He'll show," Louis replied before I could answer, "C'mon, let's go. My car." he grabbed his own keys and led us out the door, shutting it in the rest of the guys's faces.

"Wow, you're harsh," I said as we waled down the driveway to Louis's car, "And why yours?"

"Just 'cause."

"Wait - you don't even know your way around New York!" I realized as we got into his car.

"I'll find my way," he started the engine, "And if I don't, I have you."

"Right," I sighed, looking out at the bright May atmosphere of New York as we backed out of the drive, "You do have me."
