What are the Chances (N.H)

Chapter 20

January 1, 2020
"Hey Elly ready to head over to Lou and Harry's" Niall yelled through the house.

"Yeah I'll be down in a second" I yelled back and finished tying my shoes, grabbed my purse and ran down stairs to find Niall waiting by the door. "Lets go" I said and we walked out of the house.

When we got to Harry's house everyone was already there and hanging out in the backyard. "Hey boys" I said as we walked into the back.

"Hey Elly, hey Niall" they all cheered.

We all sat around and talked until dinner was ready. When the food was ready and set on the table we all sat down and started to eat, talk, and laugh... a lot.

"Hey Elly" Liam said looking around the table at the other boys.

"We have something to ask you" Harry said.

"Ok?"

"So you know how we are getting back together, which means you are out of a job" Louis said.

"Thanks for reminding me" I remark.

"Well maybe you won't be" Zayn said.

"I'm confused" I say.

"Well we were wondering if you wanted to be our manager" Harry asked.

"What? You guys want me to be your manager?"

"Yeah" they said in unison.

"Why? I'm 18, and this comeback will be huge. You trust me with that?"

" Elly you did an amazing job managing Haz" Zayn said with a smile.

"We talked to management and they agreed so it is official you are One Directions new manager, if you want" Liam said.

"Are you kidding of course, I would love to. I'm just a little surprised you guys want me to be" I laugh.

"Trust me we do" Niall said.

"Hey your bias" I say squeezing his hand under the table.

"Elly I think we are all bias" Louis laughed.

I laugh and say "Oh thanks that makes me feel great."

January 2nd
Niall and I pulled up to the airport  and grabbed my stuff out of the back. I was going back to Colorado for a couple of weeks before the boys announced them getting back together. Niall will come down next week then we go back home. "I'm going to miss you" I say into Niall's shoulder.

"Baby I will see you in a week, but I am going to miss you too" he replies.

"I love you" I said pulling back from the hug a little so I could see his face.

"I love you too baby. Your going to be late for your flight" he says but still not letting go of me.

I leaned in and kissed him then pulled away and grabbed my bags and said "I will see you in a week, I love you."

"Bye baby" he said and I walked into the airport.

When my plane landed I headed to my parents house and honestly it feels weird because I haven't been here in a year. I spent Christmas with Niall's family and I hadn't even seen them in persons since the tour.

"Mom, Dad" I yelled through the house.

"Elly" my mom yelled running down stairs.

"Hi mom" I said hugging her tight.

"I missed you baby girl".

"I've missed you too, where's dad?"

"Work, the hotel is very busy right now" my mom said with a small sad smile.
