-Ashton's Point of View-

I marched down the stairs, intending to leave, but ending up having to tell the other guys to keep quiet. Getting closer to the living room, I saw the three boys wrestling each other. They were all over each other, climbing up to the top of the couch. One would tackle another, and the third would lay on top of them. They were laughing and having a blast. I could've sworn, five minutes ago they were playing The Last Of Us.

"No, no, no! Don't tickle me!" Calum screeched, bursting into fits of giggles.

"Never!" Michael tickled him harder, making him snort. 

Luke crawled from under the man-pile and was rolling on the floor, laughing at Calum's snort. I knew I had to get going but I really couldn't resist, not with all the fun they were having. Before doing anything I stared at my best friends. We'd all known each other for years and it was only natural that we ended up in a band together. We kind of thought the band would be a joke or a fantasy, but when One Direction discovered us after watching the covers of songs we posted on YouTube, we were the happiest guys alive.

"Cuddle me, Lukey!" I yelled, sprinting forward. I jumped and landed on him, he groaned but continued laughing anyway. I sat on his side and started moving my butt, he shrieked and pretended it was the most disgusting thing. I laughed my signature laugh, which the other boys called 'the teenage girl giggle'. We loved teasing each other, it was what we did best. While I was deep in thoughts, Luke shoved me off him and gave me one mean noogie. I poked him in the gut, getting him to stop.

"Please don't burn the house down by the time I get back." I joked, but a hint of seriousness in my voice.

"Oh, come on. Don't ruin our plans for the day." Michael pouted. I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"Wait for me then." I said. The boys cheered and turned their attention back to killing each other. Yeah, we were the most immature guys on the planet. That's just the way we were, it brought us closer, making us non-biological brothers. 

"I really need to get going." I said, checking the time on my phone and shoving it back in my pocket. Luke got off Calum and wandered over to me.

"What do you think she's like?" He asked shyly, running a hand through his blond hair which was styled in a quiff.

"We'll know soon enough." I said. Luke bit on his lip ring and joined the other boys in the lounge.

I spent the entire car ride thinking about how Harry convinced, more like blackmailed, us into doing this. What if this girl wasn't tolerable? If she kept complaining to Harry about the way we acted or anything of that sort, he'd back out of the deal. And we couldn't let that happen, not when we were so close.

-Jess's Point of View-

I had woken up to the flight attendant slightly nudging my shoulder. I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the blur in my vision. I looked around and saw people already leaving the aircraft. I stood up, straightened my skin tight jeans and collected my purse, heading towards the exit. A mum and baby were in front of me and the child kept giving the woman trouble. I gently tapped the lady's shoulder, causing her to look me straight in the eye.

"Do you need some help?" I asked.

"How thoughtful of you!" She exclaimed. "May you please hold Ellie for a moment?"
