When You Live in London (One Direction Fan-Fic)

Chapter Twenty-Three

Sarah's POV

I looked out the small airplane window as Harry's big hand enclosed my little one. I turned my head and looked into his eyes. 

"Are you excited?" I asked him as I mustered a smile.

"Of course!" He said smiling too big. I laughed and then felt something in my back. I turned around and peeked through the crack in the two seats.

"The question is, are you exited?!" Gemma, Harry's sister asked me as she laughed and kneed my chair a couple more times.

"Yeah!" I tried to be as truthful as possible, but I know they can tell when I'm lying.

"What's wrong, Sarah?" Gemma asked narrowing her eyebrows.

"I need to tell you guys something," I said turning to Harry. Gemma popped her head over the seat to listen.

"What's wrong?" Lottie, Louis's younger sister asked as she took her seat next to Gemma.

"I've been talking to Reagan," I mumbled into Harry's shoulder. He picked my head up and raised his eyebrows.

"Lads," Harry said louder than we had been talking, "Sarah has something to tell us."

The rest of the boys plus Lou, Eleanor, Paul and Sophia sat down in the nearby seats.

Sophia is the girl management set Liam up with to go on tour. They wanted more drama and excitement for the band to get more attention and take it away from Reagan and Liam. I don't know why because they already have half the world wrapped around their fingers.

"What's up Sarah?" Louis asked leaning his arms on his knees.

I could tell everyone was curious, but I didn't know how to tell them. Especially Liam and Niall. Niall had made the call a few days ago telling Lilian that he, and I quote, "doesn't fancy her anymore" and "was just playing with her feelings."

None of us has told them the reason for shutting them out and Rea still hasn't told us why she quit other than the fact she wanted to take a break. Yes, I have been writing her letter after letter, but no I didn't let it slip in. Not sure why, but I did put something special in the letter that she should be getting today.

"I might have sorta, kinda beentalkingtoReagan," I jumbled the last words together then peered up at everyone through my eyelashes.

"You what?" Zayn asked confused.

I took a deep breath and started explaining, "Before Reagan left, I wrote her a note and stuck Hailey's address on the back. I saw it in one of the NCIS episodes Rea made me watch."

"So..." Lou prompted me to continue.

"So, she wrote me a letter... and I wrote back."

"What?!" Liam almost yelled. I jerked back in my seat a little.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner, but I didn't know how to and I was really confused and I thought I was helping, but I did figure out something and I think it's really cute and I can't breath, one sec," I said really fast then took a big breath of air.

Niall laughed a little, "Word vomit..." he smirked and looked down at his feet.

Zayn proceeded to smile, "I remember when we first met her," he looked over at Niall and they both smiled.

"Yeah," Niall said looking at Zayn.

"Wait," Liam zoned back into the conversation, "What did you find out?" I could see the beginnings of a smirk, but it was gone in a second.

Liam had been fully focused on the upcoming tour ever since Reagan left and Niall was not his usual self either. They played me the songs Reagan started and they turned out great!

"Liam," I captured his attention and kept talking, "Reagan told me... that she's been sleeping in... your flannel..." I pushed out the words carefully.

"What are you talking about?" Sophia piped up from behind Liam. This was literally the third time since we met, that I've heard her talk.

His eyes closed and he looked so sad I didn't know what to do. He really misses her and I know he knows that he messed up. I can tell he hasn't been very happy at all, but he's been trying to keep the song lyrics flowing and everything in line.

Everyone was either looking at me or Liam in shock, "I messed up," this was the first time he had admitted it out loud since he made the call.

"Everyone makes mistakes, Liam," Harry said trying to comfort him.

"But this wasn't just another mistake. It was a huge mistake that I can't undo and I hate myself for it," he said then a light bulb went off in his head.

"Don't hate your-" Zayn started to say, but Liam was out of the room in a flash and locked the door to the bathroom.

Everyone just stared after him until Sophia spoke up again, "What's going on?" she asked moving closer to everyone.

"Nothing, just enjoy the flight," Paul said a little harshly as he made his way back to his seat.

I looked at Harry, "What do you think he's doing?" I asked as I pulled my legs up to my chest and hugged them.

"What he does when he doesn't know what else to do," Harry said as he put his arm around me.

"Write," Zayn said as he sat down across from our seats.

Dani's POV

(outfit #3)

Reagan, Ella and I have been hanging out a lot lately. Ever since I got the job, I rented a flat a few blocks away from the campus. Classes have been going good. It's good for both of us.

We're walking down the sidewalk to the post office for some reason. Rea still hasn't told me anything about it so I guess I'm going to find out today. Ella finished her first class and she has a half-hour, so she's getting lunch with us.

"Are you going to tell me why you keep going to the post office?" I asked as we walked into the doors.

"Weeeeell, I kind of have to tell you something..." Rea looked at me then at the ground and then up at Ella.

"Just tell her," Ella must know what's up.

"So remember I told you I had been sleeping in Liam's flannel, right?" she asked as we walked up to the counter.

"Yea..." I said as the lady gave Rea an envelope.

"I had to tell somebody what was going on... so..." Rea stepped away from the counter and went to walk out the door.

"So what?" I asked following her.

"This might... possibly...just maybe... bealetterfromSarah," she jumbled the last words, but I understood.

"What?!" A few people turned their heads and a few young girls faces lit up with excitement.

"Sorry..." I said as Rea and I grabbed Ella and went running across the street and onto campus.

"You've been writing to Sarah and neither of you told me?!" I asked as we ran up to the main building steps. The girls were stopped at the fence by... oh god... That's Preston.

"I'm sorry. She left Hailey's address and I needed to talk to her... What are you looking a-" she stopped mid sentence as she followed my gaze to Preston at the fence.

"They're here," Ella said sarcastically as she broke the silence.

Rea groaned as we stalked into the building.

**********

Yay! I didn't think this book would be so long, but I think I've improved in writing and I'm really happy with how it's turning out!

They told and now the boys are in Boston. What do you think is in the letter Rea just got?

Comment what you think is going to happen next!
