Finding Home

Back for You -

As soon as I boarded the plane I passed out. There was just way too much stuff going on, and I hadn't gotten enough sleep the night before, anyway. 

 As soon as I boarded my parents picked me up and drove me to their house. This place was so unfamiliar, so different and barren, and… hot. I had always preferred the cooler weather.

 My parents and even my sister still treated me like the little 14-year-old I was the last time they saw me.

 As soon as I caught my mom and sister up on everything that happened with the boys, we went swimming. I couldn't remember the last time I went swimming without and guys in the pool, too, since my dad was at work.

 The next day we went over my school situation. I finished all my testing when I was 16, technically I didn't have to do any school, even though the damn school rules were totally different here.

 I texted Niall occasionally. If you hadn't already suspected anything, he was kind of third in my best friends. Zayn was first, but now he's my boyfriend, and Harry was second…

 But for the first few weeks the only news I got from Niall was that the boys both felt awful about what happened. Harry was still talking to that Julia girl, though. Twit.

 But by June, I felt like I had actually been raised right, with my family here in Austin.

 Niall texted me on June, 18 that kind of threw me off. I thought I was finally done with the drama of the boys. But I was very wrong.

 I was relaxing by our pool when I got the text.

 'Hey Jord! We're coming to Texas tomorrow, hopefully we can see you! xxx' I nearly dropped my phone into the pool.

 They had to be coming now, just as I was adapting to my new life here. This is what my life was supposed to be like if it wasn't for them.

 But could I even see them? I checked their website… nope, no performances in Austin. Just Dallas and Houston.

 Or did I want to go see them? Should I drive to to Houston, which is supposed to be only a three hour drive according to my sister, should I go see them? I missed zayn like crazy, but with Zayn came Harry. I still didn't want to see him. All he seemed to do was create trouble.

 After a few hours of the pros and cons, I decided I would go. Just spend a day with them. Just one day couldnt hurt, right? And maybe that way I could finally get the closure with Harry that I needed.

 They were performing on the 23… did that mean they would be walking around that day? Or would they be here the day before?

 I texted Niall, he told me to meet them for their sound check at 2. I didn't know to be excited or worried.

 I would have to sleep on it. But before I did, I marked a little note on my calendar:

 'June 23- Reuniting with One Direction.'
