Brother

Thirteen

Ellie's POV

I've been on the plane for a few hours now. I made it through bag check, and security, and boarding the plane. I texted Harry and haven't heard back. But I don't really know what I was expecting.

Anyways, after my heart rate, and adrenaline calmed down enough, I was able to drift off for a small power nap. It wasn't long at all, and I think I was just lucidly dreaming, but at least I was able to close my eyes for awhile.

When I woke up the first thing I did was check my phone. Nothing..

"Well that's okay. What were you expecting to see anyways?" I tell myself. I decide to text the group chat between Louis, Harry and myself to keep them updated about my flight.

"Hi guys! I just woke up from a little power nap on the plane, the excitement of seeing you two so soon woke me up! Can't wait, only a few hours left!"

I read over it a few times, then hit send. I can't think about stepping off the plane, and through my gate to see Louis and Harry. I can't picture myself running into their arms, and finally seeing them in person, I get way to excited!

A few moments later my phone vibrates in my hand. My body freezes and I can't keep myself from not looking another moment.

Louis: "So glad to hear the flight is going well! Can't wait to hug you the second you step out of the tunnel! Harry and I are getting ready to head your way now!"

They're already on their way to the airport!! Only four hours of my flight left! Wow time slipped by quickly for how slow the clock was ticking!

My phone vibrated again and I feel my breath hitch in my throat. I tell myself it's just Louis again, then click my screen to life.

Harry: "Great news! Can't believe it's only a few hours left! Keep us updated on your flight. We're heading out now to come meet you!"

My eyes kept reading over and over the words. Nothing special, but he did reply. Which is more then last time! I can't stop the smile creeping onto my face when my phone vibrates again. I check it, and I'm surprised to find it's not a message in our group, but just a text from him.

Harry: "Hello babe, I really can't wait to meet you! I'm so sorry for not replying earlier, I feel awful, Louis and I have just been running around like crazy! That's no excuse, but I just wanted to tell you I honestly cannot wait to see you, and I'm really looking forward to learning all about your American holiday!"

I couldn't contain my smile. My eyes kept looking over it, but they seeming to stay fixed on a single word once my heart rate slowed back down.

"...babe.."

He called me babe! What does this mean!? Am I just reading into it? Does he mean it the way I want it to mean? Is he just being friendly? My mind is spinning. Anyways he meant it, I'll take it!

Harry's POV

Shit....I called her babe! Well, if she didn't know how I felt before, I'm definitely sure she knows now. But maybe that's not such a bad thing...
