Chapter Four

From: Cutiepie 11:49 PM
You do realize it's almost midnight right? I have to get on a train in five hours! 

To: Cutiepie 11:50 PM
Lou, you need to stop worrying about the time. You'd be asleep if you stopped answering

From: Cutiepie 11:50 PM 
I'd stop answering you if you stopped texting me! Ni, I'm tired.

To: Cutiepie 11:54 PM
Well then go to bed and text me when you're getting on the train, okay?

From: Cutiepie 11:56 PM

Okay. Goodnight, Ni. Sweet dreams!!

        I wanted to text back, I really did. But I couldn't because one, Louis needed sleep. And two, if I did, I know I'd type the words that ran through my mind when I talked to Louis. "I love you."  We weren't exactly dating, but we weren't just friends. We're not friends with benefits..we're almost boyfriends. I know I love Louis William Tomlinson, but I didn't know if he loved me too. I had already met his parents when I had a few days off, and now over our winter holiday, I was bringing him to Ireland to meet my parents and brother. I was just hoping my parents wouldn't hate him. I really hope they won't hate him..

        Third person P.O.V. 

        Louis sat on a bench seat, having been on the train since five in the morning. It was now six-ten and Niall was waiting for him at the station in Leeds. As soon as Louis was there, the two were going for breakfast, stopping at Niall's dorm so he could finish packing, and then catching a plane to Mullingar. It was only the twenty third of December, but they wanted to get there before Louis' birthday, and of course, before Christmas. 
        As the bright colored train pulled into the station, Niall stood quickly. And as it stopped, Louis grabbed his bags and rushed off the train and into Niall's arms. The two stayed like that for a while before pulling away and smiling. Feeling people's eyes on them, Niall helped Louis grab his bags and they went to his car, packing everything into the trunk. They stopped to get breakfast, and were headed back to Niall's dorm finally. Niall led Louis up the couple of flights of stairs and smiled, unlocking his door. 
        On the walls, there were some posters of bands. On the desk in the corner, there was a computer and a light, books piled high. Almost all the books had something to do with art. There were beds set opposite of each other, both had a side table. Next to the bed on the side table that had a bunch of bags, which Niall was still packing and Louis was sitting on, there was a laptop, along with a bag of different chargers. Niall rushed into the bathroom and grabbed a toothbrush and toothpaste, along with deodorant. He shoved them into a bag and started zipping all of his five bags up. Those would be added to the seven bags Louis had packed. 

        "Okay, everything's packed right? Everything's in the trunk, you didn't forget anything?" Niall looked back at Louis as they both carried bags and threw them into the back seats. 

        Louis just laughed softly and got into the passanger's seat of the car. "Everything's there, hurry! We're gonna be late for our flight!" He leaned over and put the keys into the car as Niall got into the driver's seat. Louis leaned back into his seat and Niall started driving, the two listening to the radio during the short drive to the airport. The plane ride was only about an hour, but they couldn't even risk missing their flight, the next flight wasn't until Christmas day.

        They got through the checkpoints in the airport and went through the line with a carry on each. Niall's carry on had his laptop and some money, while Louis' had a sleeping mask and a pillow because someone hadn't let him sleep all that much today. "Please buckle your seatbelts and turn off all electronics, we don't want a crash, do we?" The pilot asked, adding a light chukle. There were some screams from kids and a few groans, but pretty soon they were up in the air. Louis and Niall talked for a couple minutes before Louis deicded to get some sleep. Niall was on his laptop, contently clicking and typing. Before he knew it, he had to turn off the laptop because they were landing. Louis yawned slowly and took his sleeping mask off, which Niall had noticed said, 'Drama Queen' in fancy letters. He chuckled to himself as they both got off the plane. After getting their extra luggage, Niall led Louis around the airport he knew until he saw his parents.
