Keep You Safe. . .(a One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 13: Escape to the Airport

"Well, you give me a call, alright? I would love for you to come and sing with me." Pamela hugged me one more time.

"Yeah, I will. I promise." I confirmed as I hugged her back.

She released me and turned to Niall. "And it was wonderful to have you with us. I hope you have a safe trip home. Make sure you give your mother a hug, and tell her I said hello. Oh, and that you were absolutely wonderful company."

"I will." Niall smiled. "And likewise, thank you for having me."

"Oh, any time." Pamela laughed as she pulled him into a hug. Niall smiled and hugged her back.

I turned and hugged grandpa. "Good to see and spend time with you." I said.

"You too, sweetheart." He said in return. "You both be safe, okay?" he said as he pulled away.

"We will." I nodded.

"That's good. I love you sweetheart." he finished.

"Love you too, Grandpa." I returned.

He turned to Niall as Pamela pulled away from him.

"Good to have you with us." He said as he extended a hand for him to shake.

Niall shook it. "Thank you. Again, thanks for having me." He said again.

"Anytime, son." Grandpa said kindly, patting his arm as he released it. "You both have a safe trip now."

"Yes." Pamela added. "You both be careful."

"We will. Promise." I confirmed. I turned slightly. "We better get going now. Thanks again."

"Anytime, Sweetie. Bye bye now." Pamela waved us off.

"Goodbye Angel. Niall." Grandpa waved.

"Bye." I smiled and waved as I started for my car. Niall waved and followed shortly behind me.

After putting mine and Niall's bags into the trunk, we both got into the front of my car and drove off. The first part of the trip until we got to the highway was quiet, and then Niall spoke up.

"You know, you have some very nice grandparents." He commented.

I smiled. "Yeah, I guess I do." I stammered, again, not really knowing how to respond. "And I will be sure to tell them you said that."

He chuckled.

"Yeah." I sighed. "I'm sure your family will be especially happy to see you."

"Yeah." he agreed. I couldn't exactly see his facial expression because I was driving.

"So," I tried to continue, "are you excited to see them?"

"Oh yeah. Yeah." he nodded. "I am. Very. And the band, and everyone. I don't know why, but it kind of feels like a very long time since I've seen everyone, but I don't remember it as a long time. Does that make sense?"

"Yeah?" I said in answering and understanding.

"Yeah." he said back. "It all feels weird all together." he moved his hands as he spoke.

"I'm sure. I mean, I can only imagine." I sympathized, then the idea came to me. "By the way, speaking of that, do you happen to remember anything else?"
