Diana's POV 

My eyes slowly opened and I realised I was still on the plane. Niall stirred beside me before his eyes completely opened too. "Hey princess." He smiled, kissing my forehead. "Hey Ni. How long now?" I asked, looking up into his eyes.  "Not long babe. About two hours left." He said, wrapping his arms around my body. I leaned my head on his chest and he rested his chin on the top of my head. It felt right, just being here in Niall's arms. I felt protected, wanted. I didn't feel worthless. Snuggled in Niall's embrace I soon fell asleep again.

"Wake up! Wake up! We're nearly here!" Someone shook me. I opened my eyes quickly and blinked to see who the person was. It was Eleanor. "Let me sleep." I moaned, nuzzling my head into Niall's chest again. "No! Now!" Louis demanded. "No." I mumbled against Niall's shirt. "I'll just carry her." Niall chuckled lightly. "I'm heavy." I protested. "No, you're so light and skinny. It's fine." He said. "Whatever."  sighed. 

"Could all passengers power off electronic devices and buckle up as we will be landing in Miami Airport shortly." The intercom spoke. I groaned loudly and turned off my laptop and phone. I put them both in my carry-on bag and buckled up. 

Ten minutes later we were waiting in a queue to get off the stuffy plane. "When we get into the airport I will carry you okay?" Niall said. I nodded while grinning cheekily. Finally, we were in the Miami Airport. Niall scooped me up into his arms and like on the plane I snuggled my head into his chest. He carefully supported my body with one hand and the other was used to pull all our luggage. 

Luckily, we managed to escape the airport without the boys being noticed. As we waited for a cab I decided to play a game on my phone until..."No! Get off that  thing, we're on holiday now!" Eleanor demanded. I huffed and threw my phone back into my bag. Everyone laughed at my stubbornness but I didn't want to put my phone away just because we were on holiday now. "Get on my back." Niall said, crouching down slightly. "No, you've carried me through the airport already. I'm too heavy to be carried everywhere." I protested. "Are you serious?" He asked me, sounding slightly annoyed. I nodded slowly. "You're the skinniest girl I've ever met Di. Really how skinny you are is ridiculous, I think you might be anorexic sweetie." He said, his voice softer at the end. "So one minute I'm gorgeous and the next I'm anorexic?" I asked quietly. "I didn't mean it like that." He said. "Whatever." I shrugged, walking over to Harry. 

"Hey Di, what's up?" Harry asked me. "Harry, do I look anorexic to you?" I asked him back. "Well you do look rather skinny but I haven't seen your naked stomach so I wouldn't know." He said. "Why'd you ask?" He added. "Well Niall said he thinks I might be anorexic but he hasn't seen me beneath the clothing either. He just assumes because he's carried me twice." I sighed. "Babe listen, don't listen to him. What does Niall know about girls? He hasn't had a relationship since his girlfriend before X-Factor. For now I would just keep some space between you." He smiled. "Thta's great advice Haz, thank you. Can I stay near you?" I asked. "Sure thing." He beamed, pulling me into a cosy hug. 

Niall's POV 

I watched as Diana walked away from me and towards Harry. Why did I say that to her? I really do think she might be anorexic because even though I haven't seen her body, she does feel abnormally light for a girl her age. She was right. One minute I told her she was gorgeous and the next I practically told her she was anorexic. What kind of boyfriend was I to tell her that? I was a terrible boyfriend to her. 

As all these thoughts swarmed my mind I looked over to where Diana walked and saw her hugging Harry and it looked like a cosy hug. I awkwardly fiddled with my hands as I waited for Diana to come back over to me. I waited and waited but she just stayed with Harry.
