As soon as we arrived at the hotel, I slept, For me, sleeping has always been the first priority and second eating.

London has a very pleasant weather. It's warm and welcoming. But it's kinda sad that I won't be here for long since all of us will be leaving for Texas tomorrow evening, since our first show is in Houston.

Pops is a bit bummed out that we were leaving so soon. He wanted us to stay for at least two days as we were going to go away for three months. Dad always had this believe that family comes before everything else. And that is why he has always had time for us, even if he was miles away for business. And that is why we are here in London, cause dad wanted us to be together one last time as a family before we went away.

When I got up it was already evening. I get out of the bedroom and go to the living room where Pops is sitting on the couch and watching TV.

"Hey, Pops." I greet him as I plop down on the sofa next to him.

"You've been sleeping for so long. And you're leaving tomorrow evening, how are we supposed to have a nice family time?" he replies with sadness laced in his voice.

"Don't worry, Pops. It's only three months. It's not that long. Why are you worrying so much?"

"I'm not worried. I just want to spend time with you all which I haven't been able to do lately."

"Pops, you're the most amazing father anyone could've ever asked for. Please don't get all emotional. I promise we'll keep visiting you whenever we get time okay?" I kiss him on his cheek.

"Okay, but for now get dressed. We're going out for dinner. I've already reserved a table."

After dinner we came back to the hotel room and sat down in the living room and were just talking about everything. We jump from topic to topic, talking about Ayaan's football matches, teasing Aliya about her obsession with one direction, how badly I wrote my assignments (Pops was not happy about that), to Aditya not having a girlfriend.

At breakfast the next morning, we were down at the morning buffet. Aditya pulls me along with him towards the bathroom of the dining area, way far away from where we were sitting.

"What's wrong?" I ask, getting a little annoyed.

But he doesn't say anything, instead he hands me an envelope.

I roll my eyes and tear the top part of the envelope. I look at the smooth, shiny, printed paper and my eyes widen when I realize what they were.

"This is what you got her?" I feel so proud of him. Aliya is definitely gonna love these.

"Yeah, she'll love it. I got three. One for her, one for you and an extra."

"I'm not going. And why aren't you coming?" I narrow my eyes at him.

"No, why should I? I mean I got the tickets, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did...but that doesn't mean you can't come. And why do I have to go? I don't want to." I cross my arms at my chest.

"Well I think you're forgetting that I reminded you of Aliya's birthday and it was I who got the tickets." He says boastfully and continues, "And now you have to be a good sister and go with her to the concert. Or I might let slip that you forgot her birthday. Imagine how upset she'd be with you." He smirks.

And I felt like punching him in the face.

"You're evil. Ayaan's my favourite brother." I stick my tongue out at him.

He laughs and walks away leaving me with three One Direction concert tickets in my hands.
