     All that was on my mind for the first 2 months of the Up All Night tour was dance, eat, sleep, and of course, Harry. The upcoming 2 month break was the last thing on my mind. 

     "Okay guys, England's been a massive success with lots of laughs and on behalf of management and especially the boys and I, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts!" Louis said as all of us backup dancers, crew, band, and tired stage managers in the room cheered. 

     'It brings me great sadness that our amazing dancers will not be joining us for the next 2 months in our Asia portion of the tour," Liam said with a cute little pout on his face, "but they'll be back before we know it for the remainder of the tour!" he concluded as we all cheered again. It was amazing being the boys' backup dancers but it was also extremely tiring and a LOT of hard work. Plus we all missed our families dearly. 

     I turn to the left and see a blonde figure running towards me, "JEANETTE!!! Josh has the most BRILLIANT idea," Marissa says breathlessly as she drags her boyfriend behind her. Marissa and Josh got together a week after the tour started. They're so much alike and full of energy. They're that 'anoying couple' that everyone's always jealous of because they never ever fight. 

     "What is it?" I asked, grabbing her by the shoulders and steadying her so she could catch her breath. 

     "Well, I can't stand the thought of being away from Joshy Woshy for 2 looooooooooong months," she says as she looks at Josh lovingly, "and I'm sure you feel the same way about your boytoy Harold," she waits for me to nod before she continues, "sooo, we can visit with the fam and see how our fellow seniors are at good old THS for one month of our break, then come back and be with our men and shop and hangout and stuff for the remaining month without having to worry about rehearsal and stuff...." Marissa looked at me expectantly. She knew I would say yes as long as it involved being with Harry.

     I nodded my head yes slowly. Marissa attacked me and we jumped up and down chanting, "WE'RE GOING TO ASIA! WE'RE GOING TO ASIA!" 

     If my life were a Disney movie, the camera would cut to a shot of Marissa and I landing on a luxurious plane somewhere in Asia. But unfortunately, my life, nor Marissa's is a Disney movie. As we landed in our local airport, I surveyed my surroundings and sniffed the air. McDonalds. Yup, we were definitely back in America.

     "Mommy! Quinn!" I greeted my two mothers with a huge hug after Marissa dropped me off in my driveway.

     "Jeanette! You look fab. It's great actually seeing you in person instead of on the cover of all of the tabloids in the supermarket with that curly haired fellow." Quinn said with a wink.

     "Yeah, speaking of which, is it true that you're preggers...?" my mom asked, eyeing my stomache as I quickly dismissed the stupid rumor.

     "JEANETTE! I MISS YOU! I BEEN SO LOST WID OUT MY BIG SISTER!" my adorable little brother Joey says as he runs outside and jumps into my arms.

     "Oh my goodness, Joey! You've gotten so big! How old are you now, 35?!" I tease him as I shower him with kisses.

     "No, silly! I'm only five!" he said and I tickled him. 

     "Look, Joe! I got you a present!" I fished into my carry on and pulled out a t-shirt with a British flag that says 'My Big Sister Tours With One Direction And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt' that was signed by the boys.

     My moms and I laughed as Joey put it on and pranced around the front lawn. God, how I've missed my family.

     [A/N aghhh Hurricane Sandy left me without power for a week. It hasn't been fun. New Jersey really is a mess now. It's really sad. We finally got power back and I was crying when I saw the video for Little Things. Which is why I of course have to put it on the side. And there's also a picture of how I imagine Joey looking. I hope you enjoy dis chapter. It's kinda short but I'm also gonna be updating with Chapter 10 pretty soon because no power= lots of time for writing. Oh and by the way, 836 reads?!?! I was so freaking happy when I logged on and saw that!]
