Chapter 1- Goodbye & Hello

I came home from my last day of high-school, tired and relieved. I grunted knowing that there was a lot more to come in college. I ran up to my room, put my stuff down, and ran back down stairs to grab a snack and let my Mom know I was home. I heard some noises and walked into the kitchen asking, "Why are you home so early, Dad?" I saw my Mom sitting on a bar stool with her face in her hands.

"Come over here, we need to talk to you." My Dad said.

"Do you remember Niall?" My Dad asked.

I nodded, we were best friends.

"Well, we made a deal with them when you were in preschool. They said would help us in any way that we needed, even financially. They couldn't have any more children after they had Niall, so you're going to marry him." My Dad said.

"WHAT?!" I yelled knowing exactly who they were talking about. I can't marry him, he's got his own popstar life now! He probably doesn't even remember me....

"I'm so sorry honey!" My Mom exclaimed.

"I have to marry Niall? I haven't seen him in four years!" I said, running up to my room just to leave the conversation.

I wasn't really mad, I was just confused, I love Niall, but I haven't seen him in what seems like forever. I think about him a lot, though.

2 hours later, I was done. I had packed my personal items and called my friends to say goodbye. My Dad came up and took my stuff to the car.

When we arrived at the airport, we found a man in a suit holding up a sign that said, 'Lexi Alee'. Before walking over, I said goodbye to my Dad, Mom, and little sister. "I love you." I said before walking away from my family.

"Hello miss Alee..." The man said.

"Hello." I replied.

"My name is Grant. Right this way." He said.

The whole plane ride, which was 10 hours, I just listened to my music and talked to the man that was escorting me.

As soon as my bags were put into the limo, we were off. 20 minutes later, we were pulling up into the long driveway of Niall's house. We pulled up to the house and Grant came around, opened my door and got my stuff out of the back of the car.

"See you later Miss Alee." Grant said.

"Bye!" I replied, smiling.

Before I could look up, Niall's mom came out of the massive mansion and screamed, "Ahhhh! Hi! Oh goodness gracious Lexi! I am so glad you are here, oh Niall is going to love seeing you!" She ran up and suffocated me with a hug.

"Yes! Hi! I'm so glad to see you! It's been so long! I replied.

"Oh, you're so beautiful, look at you!!!!!" She smiled, holding me by the shoulder.

I looked down at my fit body wearing miss me jeans, flats, a silky, flowy, kinda-glittery beige shirt and long, chestnut, curly hair. Wow, I did look pretty good if I must say so myself.

"Thank you." I said.

"Come on, let's go inside to meet everyone." She said, grabbing my hand.

Everyone? I thought it would just be Niall and his parents.

We walked into the house and she lead me to a room across the foyer. When we walked in, Niall and his band were playing video games.

When one of the boys looked up, they all looked at me and Maura. They all stood up and smiled. Ah, his bandmates.

A curly-haired, green eyed boy came over to me and said, "Nice to meet you, love. I'm Harry."

A brunette boy came and shook my hand and said "How are you? I'm Louis."

A dark-haired, brown eyed boy came to me and gave me a hug and said, "I'm Zayn, how's it going?"

Another brown-haired boy came and said, "It's a pleasure, love. The name's Liam."

Last but not least, Niall. He lifted my right hand and said, "Love, it's so nice to see you again." and he then placed a kiss on it.

"Excuse me, I'll be back in a minute." Maura said.

"Well, the lads and I will leave you two alone, we've got some Christmas shopping to do." Liam said walking out with Zayn, Louis, and Harry all saying goodbye.
