Leah's POV

I was sitting in the middle of my room, surrounded by clothes. My wardrobe had literally thrown up on me as I sifted through shirts, pants and skirts. Audrey was sitting on my bed attempting to help me pack. I had All Time Low's Do You Want Me Dead? blasting through my iPod speakers, attempting to pump me up for packing. Who knew this would be so stressful. I feel like I have no clothes to wear, which is obviously not the case if you were in my room right now. I just feel like I have to bring the perfect wardrobe or else Liam's bandmates will think I'm ugly or poor or something. I frantically ran my fingers through my hair as I piled socks underwear and bras into my suitcase. Those I at least could pick and wear without being judged.

"You look like a madman." Audrey giggled, looking up from her phone. Probably texting Hunter, gag.

"Gee thanks." I replied, my voice laced with sarcasm, "you would too if you were going to see your long time crush and his hot bandmates for a whole week." Audrey just laughed it off.

"No I wouldn't because I have a boyfriend so I would have nothing to worry about."

"Since when has that ever stopped you." I muttered, mentally high-fiving myself for my unusually witty comeback.

"Hey I heard that!" She complained. Gosh she could be so thick sometimes. She just doesn't get what I'm feeling right now.

"Well you aren't being much of a help." I said, finally just shoving some stuff into my suitcase. I'd have to figure out my outfits when I got there, and if I looked like a hobo well then I guess I could only blame myself.

"What did you want me to do exactly?" she sighed. I rolled my eyes,

"Never mind. I'm done so you don't have to stay if you don't want to." I replied, walking to my bathroom to pack my toiletries.

"Great, Hunter will be here in a sec. We're going out tonight." she smiled.

"Ooh sounds fun." I said, trying my best to sound excited for her. It's just been so hard though, Audrey's become a completely different person since she started dating Hunter. It's like I'm chopped liver or something. I sighed again, I really need a new best friend.

"Hunter's here! I'll see you when you get back. You better text me updates about you and Liam or perhaps another boy? Wink wink." She chuckled, giving me a quick hug before heading out the door. Yeah because there's gonna be so much to keep her updated on, I thought sarcastically. But hey a girl can dream right? I decided to make myself some dinner, suddenly overcome by a wave of hunger. My mum was working late tonight so I decided on Mac-n-cheese for dinner. I grabbed my bowl and plopped down in front of the TV watching reruns of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

(A/N - this show is the greatest. If you've never watched it GO WATCH IT. you're welcome.)

After about five episodes finally headed to bed. I quickly brushed my teeth and pulled my hair into a low ponytail for the night before slipping under the covers. I laid there looking at the ceiling, listening to the quiet sounds of my empty house. The ice maker in the refrigerator, the hum of the air conditioning, the sudden rush of water in the toilet. I was going to regret not having slept tomorrow morning. I could probably sleep a bit on the bus but I was still going to end up looking like a zombie when I met the boys. Wow I was really over thinking this. SHUT UP BRAIN! I closed my eyes, hoping it would help, and eventually it did.

**********

The next morning my mum came in and woke me up early. I threw on a pair of leggings and a t-shirt that I had laid out last night. As I did my makeup I decided I looked too underdressed. I grabbed a light scarf out of my closet, wrapping it around my neck, then slipping my feet into my combat boots and putting earrings in I decided I looked acceptable. I tossed my phone, iPod and book into my purse and hauled my suitcase down the stairs.

"Morning sweetheart, how did you sleep?" My mum asked, passing me a plateful of eggs.

"Fine." I lied, stuffing the food into my mouth.

"Well you were fast asleep when I got home." she smiled, taking a seat across from me at the small island in our kitchen. "I hope you'll have a good time this week. It was so sweet of Liam to invite you. You two can catch up a bit, since you haven't seen each other in a while."

"Yeah we will..." I responded unenthusiastically, "We should get going so I don't miss my bus." I said, changing the subject.

"Right, let's go." The car ride to the bus station was quiet. I stared out the window, watching the world zoom by. When we arrived, I gave my mum a big hug, reassuring her that I would text her as soon as Liam picked me up. I dragged my suitcase over to the bus, giving it to the driver who was packing them underneath. I chose a seat in the middle of the bus, right next to the window. I waved to my mum until she'd disappeared out of sight. Nobody sat next to me, which I was totally fine with. I plugged my earphones in and stretched out across the extra seat, the lull of the bus finally putting me to sleep.

**********

"Excuse me miss, but we've arrived." The kind smile of the bus driver greeted me as I opened my eyes.

"Oh sorry." I apologized, quickly getting up and walking off the bus. I scanned the crowd for Liam, not seeing him anywhere. I took my suitcase and sat down on a bench, quickly shooting him a text.

Hey Li just got off the bus. Where r u?!

Suddenly my vision became dark as a pair of hands covered my eyes. I screamed, thinking I was getting kidnapped or raped.

"Geez Lee you're making a scene! It's just me." Liam's voice said as he unclasped his hands from my eyes. I blinked my eyesight focusing in on the tall boy in light jeans and a green t-shirt, surrounded by four other boys who I assumed were his bandmates. I gave Liam a quick punch on the arm before wrapping him into a hug.

"Don't do that to me. I nearly had a heart attack." I complained.

"Yeah we know, we heard you." the curly haired one said with a cheeky smile.

"So Liam did you want to introduce me or what?" I asked, gesturing at the other boys.

"Oh right." He said blushing, "Erm this is Harry." he said pointing to the curly haired one. He just smiled and winked at me. Gross. "This is Louis." he pointed to the boy next to Harry. He was slightly tanned with shaggy light brown hair.

"Hi!" he said with a wave.

"This is Zayn." Liam continued, pointing to the boy with even more tanned skin than Louis and black hair. "And this is Niall." he said introducing the last boy. He was blonde and had sparkling blue eyes. He smiled happily at me. "So boys this is Leah." Liam finally said, putting his arm around my shoulders.

"His girlfriend." Louis coughed, causing the other boys to laugh as Liam blushed furiously.

"Right well are we gonna spend our whole holiday in the bus station then or did you guys want to leave?" I joked, pulling my suitcase behind me as I headed for the exit.

"Right." they said, following me out into the fresh summer air. We all piled into the car, Liam driving with me sitting shotgun while the other boys smushed into the backseat. We all made light conversation as Harry gave Liam directions to his house. We arrived a few minutes later at Harry's family cottage. The boys took off, screaming and laughing with each other, suddenly riled up about something.

"I'm really glad you're here Leah." Liam said, taking my suitcase for me.

"Yeah me too." I said, and I knew that I actually meant it.
