Time For A New Start (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter Two!

I stepped on the plane.

Scared is not the word.

What if I can't find a job? Or somewhere to live? Or friends? What if I regret this? 

I found my way to first class. I had saved for this for a LONG time, so first class was the way to go! 

Seat 21

Finally! My seat! Wait..there are two empty seats next to me and three empty seats across from me..

"NIALL! THAT WAS MY BAG OF CRISPS!" 

I heard a voice cry. Oh god, that sounded A LOT like Liam Payne.

"BUT LIAAAAAM! I'M HUNGRY!!"

An irish accent screeched out. Oh god, I swear that was Nial Horan.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a crisp packet hitting my head.

"Oh I'm so sorry! My friends we-"  Louis Tomlinson apologised.

"Its fine," I cut him off, "I was daydreaming anyway." I replied, keeping my cool. Suddenly all the regret in my stomach was replaced with flips.

"Are these seats 22-26?" Zayn asked. Its a good job I'm sat down right down lets put it that way.

"Well, I'm in seat 21 so yeah, I think so." I smiled at him. They all huddled in a circle, what could they be talking about?

All of a sudden there was a rush to the seats. Louis landed next to me, Zayn next to him, Niall in front of me, Liam and Harry beside him. 

"Well, we're going to be sat here for the next 8 hours with each other, we're sure you know about us, so tell us about yourself." Niall said, and all eyes turned on me. Oh god. This isn't going to end well.

"Well, I'm Esther Brown, I'm 17, I have no friends, place to stay or family. I was abandoned as a child and decided to move to London as a new start. And yes I do know bits about you, not alot though, the people at the care home never let me have anything for myself other than clothes. I've been saving since I was 6 for this and I haven't really thought it through enough as I have no job, or place to stay." I put my head in my hands, realising that I really hadn't thought this through properly.

I felt Louis rub my back, "Its okay, we could help you if you really want!"

Oh god, did he really just say that? I've never had help before, or a friend. I didn't know what to do.

"Esther, are you okay?" I looked up to see 5 worried faces staring at me.

"Erm, I'm fine. Its just I've never really had any friends before and I really don't know what to do once I get to London, I have £100 pounds. Its not enough. I'm trying to live my childhood dream of getting away from Florida and having my own life. I guess its just not ment to happen." I felt a tear slip out of my eye.

 Before I knew it I was being crushed by five teenage boys trying to give me a hug. 

A familiar man was stood across from us, arms folded and eyebrows raised.

"Boys! Leave the poor girl alone! You've only just met!" He laughed.

The boys slowly got off me. 

"We were only hugging!" Harry half shouted. A chourus of "YEAH!!" and "WHY RUIN THE MOMENT PAUL?!" was ringing in my ears. I chuckled to myslef.

"Why did you feel the need to crush the poor girl?" Paul asked.

"Well, she just told us she only has £100 to live of, no family, friends, job or place to stay. It was the perfect time for a group crushing!" Zayn explained, Paul looked to me.

"Is this true?" He asked.

I looked at the ground, "Yeah, I was abandoned by my parents as a baby and it has always been my dream to live in london. Now I realise what a silly idea it was. I really haven't thought this through." I put my head in my hands..again.

"We'll help. Can't have a pretty young thing like you living on the streets of London can we boys?" Paul said. Immedietly, the boys went insane.

"WE LOVE YOU PAULY! YOU'RE THE BEST!!" They all screeched in unison. Then I got another group crushing.

"Errm, thanks guys," I said pushing them off, "but I'm sure I'll be okay, I've never had anyone help me before so I'm sure I don't need to start now." I smiled weakly at them.

Liam looked me straight in the eye, "Esther, you've never been to London have you?" I shook my head, "Well then, you really need some help this time. We're not getting off this plane until you agree!"

I shook my head, "You've only just met me, why do you feel you need to help me. I'm no charity case!" I threw my arms up, tears brimming at my eyes again.

Niall took my hand, "Look here Esther, we're helping you weather you like it or not!"

I sighed, giving in, "Fine." I said. This caused another group crushing. 

How many of these am I going have to put up with?!
