Bad Influence

«Angel!» Nicole yelled from her bedroom. «Yeah?» I yelled back from the kitchen. The guys had been on tour for about three days now. Eleanor had gone home for Christmas, the same had Matt. He promised he would be back for the New Years Eve party were were throwing in the apartment. I had given him his gift and Donny's gift. Me and Matt talked to Donny on a daily basis, and I would call them as often as possible during Christmas. «I have two questions.» Nicole yelled. «Alright, I'm coming in!» I yelled back before I walked over to what used to be my bedroom and open the door. «What's up?» I asked. Nicole was already done packing(we were leaving tonight, and I hadn't gotten started yet). «Firstly, when does our plane leave?» She asked. «Around ten.» I answered. She nodded. «Secondly, how the fuck does Harry freaking Styles have my number?» She asked. I bit my lower lip. «What did you do?» She asked. «Nothing.» I lied. Nicole sighed. «You gave it to him, didn't you?» She asked. I nodded slowly. «Why?» She asked. «Because he wouldn't stop nagging me while I was talking to Liam, so I did what I had to.» I explained. Nicole sighed. «He's never going to give up is he?» She asked. I could see a little smile on her lips as she spoke. «You like it.» I teased. She quickly shook her head. «Nope.» She said popping the p. «You so do! You love the attention! And I bet you have a tiny crush on him.» I said with a huge smile. Nicole shook her head. «I do not, so leave it.» She told me. I sighed. «I give you one more month and then he'll be taking you out.» I told her. «It's not going to happen, and tell him stop texting me!» Nicole said. I smirked. «Tell him yourself, you have his number.» I told her before I walked into mine and Liam's shared bedroom. I started to pack the stuff I needed, including Liam's SuperMan t-shirt, the I might or might not have given a little spray of his cologne. I was just done packing when Nicole yelled that it was time for us to go to the airport.

The flight home went by fast, maybe because I was asleep for most of it. My mum and Nicole's parents were waiting when we laded in Sheffield. Nicole and her parents were driving back to Doncaster tonight, while me and mum would be going to Manchester tonight. We were driving up there. I knew I could have taken the plane, but I wanted to drive with my mum and my little sisters. We were going to see the boys show on December 23rd before Louis joined us for the drive home. I hadn't been away from Liam that long, but it felt like years. I slept on the drive to Manchester after greeting my little sisters. My mum gently shook me awake when we were outside the hotel. I fell onto one of the beds as soon as we had gotten up to the room. «You really are tired, why?» Mum asked. «Nightmares.» I mumbled. «I thought they stopped.» She said. «They do, but I get them from time to time. I usually have Liam there, it just gets harder when he's away.» I explained. Mum nodded. She didn't ask more questions. I knew she wanted me to get help with these nightmares, but I had tired. The only thing that worked was when someone, usually Liam or Lou, held me. I always felt safer when I had Liam's or Louis's arms around me, I felt like nothing could ever hurt me if they were there. I quickly fell asleep to the sound of Lottie talking to Mark on the phone.

My mum woke me up around elven the next day. «Me and the girls are going shopping, do you want to join or do you already have plans?» She asked me. «I'm going to meet up with the other guys. They have some time off before the concert.» I told her. «Unfair! I want to see Lou as well!» Daisy said. I gave her a gentle smile. «I'll mostly hang out with Liam, but you'll have a long time with Louis as well, I promise.» I told her. She sighed. «Tell him I miss him.» Daisy said after a while. «Tell him that I do too!» Phoebe added as soon as Daisy had spoken. «Me three!» Felicite said. «I'll just tell him you all miss him. But I'm not sure if I'll be seeing him much, he's spending the day with Eleanor.» I said. «When are we going to meet his girlfriend?» Lottie asked. «Isn't she coming for dinner during boxing day?» I asked mum. She nodded. «That is so unfair! We're at grandma's then!» Daisy exclaimed. «I'm sure you'll meet her at some point, maybe even at the concert today, you never know.» I said trying to comfort her. Daisy nodded, but she didn't seem convinced. «Well then, we'll be leaving. Will I see you before the concert or?» Mum asked. I shook my head. «I'm staying backstage until their guards will bring me to you guys.» I told her. Mum nodded and walked over to the bed to kiss the top of my head. «Alright, see you then. Love you.» She said as she grabbed her purse and then took one twin in each hand. «Love you guys too.» I told them before they left.
