Nandos with Niall

Chapter 25

I lugged the heavy suitcase down the parking lot of the airport. My lip quivered as my mom rubbed my back. We were leaving, and our new best friends were leaving to go on their world tour.

"It's okay, Christen." My mom attempted to calm me, but I just couldn't, I wouldn't.

"No. It's not. We're leaving. They're leaving." A tear rolled down my cheek. He gave me an apologetic smile before looking at Delia, who was just sat in a bench near the entrance with a blank stare. "Delia?" I said. She just continued staring.

The tears continued slowly rolling down my cheeks as I poked her. We probably looked like we just escaped a mental hospital. Oh well.

I continued looking at the lost girl before I was tackled with hugs. Then, I just lost it. Sobs escaped my mouth as I choked them out. I turned to whoever was there and hugged them tightly. This person just happened to by Zayn.

He raised his hands in surprise before wrapping his arms around me. I sobbed into his shirt.

"Christen, you okay?" Niall asked, his voice full of concern. I just nodded into Zayn's shirt before letting go and apologizing for getting his shirt wet.

He probably has a million more shirts, but whatever.

I pulled in Niall, hugging him tighter that a Horan hug. He hugged back, resting his head on mine. Screw my shortness. He rocked us side to side and hummed a song from their album. I just couldn't pinpoint it.

"I love you." I mumbled into his chest.

"I love you too." He said, pulling us away to look into my eyes. The beautiful ocean blue irises stared into mine, slowly inching closer.

He pulled me closer, in one swift movement, locking his lips with mine. I kissed back, throwing all emotion into the kiss. This could be the last one.

Once we separated, the boys were pretending to puke, and Delia and Mom high fived. I dismissed that and hugged the rest of the boys.

I made my way around the line if boys. They all said something weird or funny in my ear.

I waved goodbye to them one final time before walking away, our plane was called.

"We'll call, skype, text, and everything else!" Harry called. We nodded to the boys before Walking to our plane. Our bags had already been checked.

We made our way onto the plane and found our seats. I looked out the window and looked over at the boys. Few girls were surrounding them by now. I felt bad, but there was nothing I could do. The boys waved goodbye and made their way to their plane.

I sighed and felt the plane accelerate. Goodbye Ireland. Hello New Jersey.
