A New Turn

Chapter 46

CAITLIN POV

The girls didn't ask me about Louis and last night's situation again. Despite the fact that they hadn't given me any noteworthy advice, I was glad that they didn't bring it up again.

The word Louis never seemed to cross their lips again as the afternoon drew on. We finally received details on Michael and Lizzie's first 'encounter', and it was pretty obvious that she was still very happy about it.

Claudia also brought up her heated session with Calum, sometimes going into a little too much detail. It was obvious that she was a lot happier in about two months with Calum than she ever was Brandon.

Bri kept fairly quiet throughout the whole trip. I think talking about happy relationships like the ones in 'Caldia' and 'Mizzie' was hurting her a little on the inside. Her situation was really complicated, and I can't even imagine being in the middle of that.

I was still in a dilemma of my own. I still couldn't get over what Justin did to me. And that totally sucked because I really wanted to be with Louis last night. Why did my life suck?

We finally got off the topic of boys, much to Bri's and my appreciation. The rest of the day past with a fair amount of enjoyment, with a lot more general conversation topics. I heard a lot of stories about each of the girls, stories that I think I will save until their 21st...

-----2 WEEKS LATER-----

LOUIS POV

Australia was an amazing country, and I was very upset to leave. So much had happened down here. We played for Australian fans (who, let's be honest, we're pretty whacked up...), Niall and Bri finally spoke, I'd met Caitlin's parents, and announced her as my official girlfriend. So, overall, not a bad trip.

But I was also pretty excited to be going back home. I hadn't seen my mum and my sisters in two months or so. I'd been so busy with the lads, I hadn't had the opportunity to go back home to Doncaster. Of course, I called my mum every night and spoke to my sisters every couple of nights, but I obviously missed them a great deal.

Caitlin didn't travel with us for the last few days, she stayed at home with her family, and I was really glad for that. I know how big of a deal moving is and how hard spending large times away from family is, so she definitely needed those few days break. And I also knew that she was going to be interrogated by management when we got home. I honestly had no idea how to prepare her for that.

We travelled back to London in first class once again. Barely anything with spoken between anyone. The boys were absolutely buggered, and I would be lying if I said that I wasn't. Caitlin took a seat next to me, and looked as though she could fall asleep any second. I was just hoping that she would at least wait until after take off so she could hop over into the seat with me.

I couldn't help but notice her eyes beginning to droop and I just needed her to stay awake for about fifteen minutes.

"Stay awake gorgeous." I did my best to add a subtle wink at the end of my comment but I don't know if it came across as subtle or not.

"Why?" She whined as she buried in her head into the headrest beside her.

"Cause then you can come over here." God, I sounded like such a douche.

"Ok fine." And being the joker that she was, she forced her eyes to remain open, allowing them to go as wide as they could, making her look like the biggest dope.

The fifteen minutes seemed to move really slowly, which was amazingly annoying. I kept giving Caity quick glances throughout, her eyes, despite the fact that she was doing her absolute best to stay awake, were falling fast. I didn't think that she was going to be able to last the takeoff.
