Conversation was minimal on the drive back to Cheshire. That was one detail I had completely forgotten about in the nerves of the flight.                                                                                     

    Well this will be an awkward 5 hours.

Don’t get me wrong, I was extremely happy to see Anne, and even happier to be back home, back in England but I would have appreciated these things a whole lot more if it was in different circumstances and this wasn’t exactly an ideal circumstance.

“So, how had school been going?” Anne asked cautiously, obviously picking a ‘safe’ subject that wouldn’t result in me turning into an ‘emotional mess’.

“Fine, I guess” I replied simply.

“Well I’m sure you will settle back down here in no time, After all, It really hasn’t been that long and I’m pretty sure your old friend Ava still lives around here” She beamed across at me.

Ava. I could picture the 13 year old Ava, perfect, flawless Ava. This girl could quite possibly had been the reason for all of my past self-esteem issues. My old best girl friend. It’s funny, although I definitely remember being friends with Ava, I actually remember spending most of my time at school with Harry and his friends. I have always found I felt more comfortable around boys, than girls. Or maybe it’s just Harry...

Harry. Just thinking about my curly- haired best friend made me do something I hadn’t in months, something I thought I had lost forever, I couldn’t believe it, but I was in fact smiling, and my smile only grew as I realised I would be reunited with him in just over 4 hours.

I gazed out the car window, watching the trees, houses and people pass by in a blur, wishing that time would pass as fast as the scenery.

I was so lost in thought that I didn’t even realise Anne was still talking, I quickly started paying attention, hoping she hadn’t repeated herself too many times.

Anne gave me a concerned look then once again repeated what she had been saying.

“Harry wanted to come to the airport with me, you know?”

“Well, why didn’t he then?” I asked almost rudely, instantly regretting my tone.

“Well, I just thought it would be best to not draw unnecessary attention to our situation”

“And I didn’t really think being mobbed by fans would be a very good ‘welcome home’ present” She added lightly

Our situation?

I wasn’t exactly sure what she meant by ‘unnecessary attention to our situation’ but I guess, when she put it that way...

“Yeah, I guess you have a point” I gave her a friendly smile.

And once again I went back to gazing out at the blurred scenery.

That was the last of the conversation for the rest of the drive...well as far as I know seeming jetlag had finally hit me after about an hour of driving.

*************************************************************

I heard a car door slam followed by another opening.

“No hon, don’t wake her”

 I was slightly aware of the strong pair of arms lifting me from the car.

My eyes fluttered open just as I was being placed on a bed.

“Well hello sleeping beauty” Said the most beautiful voice imaginable.

“...Haz!” I said sleepily

“Go back to sleep Le-Le, we can catch up later” He smiled happily as he shut the door.

It made me smile; he had called me ‘le-le’, just like old times.

I laid my head back on the soft pillow letting sleep take over me.

***********************************************************

I woke up to the familiar sound of my iphone, indicating someone was trying to facetime me.

I wearily got off my bed and conveniently found my carry-on on the bedside table. I rummaged through, searching for my phone. ‘

I picked it up and glanced at the screen, which read ‘Gweennn! Is trying to facetime you’

I gladly clicked the ‘answer’ button, and seconds later the screen was filled with an overly happy Gwen.

“Leeaaah!!”

And I knew the exact reason she was happy, the thing about Gwen is, she is a huge directioner, and when I say huge, I really do mean huge, back in Australia all she would talk about was one direction, and now I was living with 1/5 of One direction, which Gwen saw as a chance to make them fall in love with her.

“Oh my gosh Lee! You have no idea how lucky you are to be living with Harry freaking Styles!!!”

I glanced at the time on my phone, crap! It was 2am, and by this time, Gwen’s extreme fangirling had probably woken the entire household.
