Torn (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 20

*Amber’s POV*

I was the last one to get up in the flat. We had an early flight, it left at 9am. I packed a few extra things and then started to get ready. I just threw on one of my flowy shirts and a pair of leggings. I put some jewelry on and threw my hair in a bun. Last, but not least, I put on a pair of flats. [x] I walked out of my room and Melissa and Aliyah were at the table drinking tea and hot chocolate. Aliyah was dressed like she was going to the beach. She had a pink shirt on and white shorts. It was cute. [x] Melissa on the other hand was dressed like a bum. But in a cute way. She does that a lot. She had patterned leggings on and a jean button up. Her hair was in a bun and she looked really chilled. [x] “Hey guys.” They looked up and smiled. “Are you excited?” Melissa said as a big smile grew on her face.  “Yeah I can’t wait to see my sister and mom.” I said. I wasn’t really that close with my dad or brother. My brother wasn’t home much anyways. “I get to see my mom! I’ve missed her like crazy.” Melissa said. Aliyah stayed silent. “Aliyah, cheer up.” Melissa said rubbing her back. “You get to see your second family. And we are going to the Jersey Shore for a whole week. We get to go on the boardwalk again!” Melissa said. Aliyah smiled at her.  “Yeah c’mon, don’t be a bum the whole trip.” I said trying to make her laugh. I got a small chuckle out of her. “Sorry, I am excited to see everyone and go to the beach but I’m not excited to spend a whole three weeks with Zayn in houses and cars and hotels. We just broke up. A few days ago.” Aliyah said. Melissa took her face in her hands. “Don’t let a fucking boy ruin our fun vacation. Listen to me, he isn’t worth it. This vacation only happens once.” Melissa said. She let go of her face. “Okay, you’re right.” Aliyah said.“Yeah, I have to be with Harry. AND my boyfriend is going at the same time. Can you say awkward?” I said. Aliyah smiled. We all were silent for a second before Kristi screamed. “GUYS! I CAN’T FIND MY SHIRT!” Kristi yelled. Melissa got up and walked to the room. You could barely hear Melissa but Kristi was yelling. Then you heard Melissa yell found it. Then Kristi walked out in an old, ratty shirt and a a pair of patterned leggings. She was wearing a pair of black boots that we all shared. [x] All of us looked pretty laid back besides Aliyah. “Well, lets go! We are going home!” Kristi yelled. I don’t know why she was so excited. She liked her family and everything but she wasn’t like missing them. She didn’t really care. We all got in our car and went to the airport. The boys and Jack met us there. I sat with Jack while waiting for the plane. Harry was sitting across from us. It was so awkward. I didn’t even want to start a conversation. Jack got up to go to the bathroom and it became even more awkward.  “Nice earrings.” Harry said sarcastically. I almost said thank you before I noticed. I was wearing the earring he gave me on our anniversary. I smirked at him in a super sassy way. Even though I was angry that he was being an ass, I sorta liked that he even noticed. No. I need to stop. Jack came back and kissed my cheek. I could see how angry Harry was. He got up and walked away. “What’s his problem?” Jack said.“Nothing, cmon, we’re boarding soon.” I said changing the topic. You then heard our flight number over the intercom. We were boarding. We all got in line and sat in our seats. Liam wrote our name on the tickets and we all promised not to switch. I had a window seat and I didn’t know who was sitting with who. The seats were two each. Niall was with Melissa and Kristi with Lou. I hope I’m sitting with Aliyah. She sat in the row in front of me. Fuck. The Zayn sat down next to her. Harry and Jack were the last two to sit down. Oh god, I am gonna be by myself and they are gonna sit together. My life is ruined. Jack sat down in the row across from me and Harry plopped right on down next to me. “Fuck me.” I said aloud. Whoops. Harry looked at me. That I-mean-if-you-want-me-to kind of look. I slapped his arm in a playful way.“You are such an ass.” I said. I felt the whole plane look at me. I hid my face, my cheeks were red. I heard Harry laugh and I couldn’t help but laugh along. My face was as red as a lobster. I looked over at Harry and remembered that I hated him. I turned towards the window and got quiet. He noticed and got quiet too. Half way through the plane ride I got pretty tired. I leaned up against the window and slowly let myself drift into a dream.
