Louis' POV
We had been in the taxi for about 10 minutes and Daina still hadn't said a single word. The entire time she was staring straight out of the window, deep in thought. The creases on her forehead made me for a second think that maybe this wasn't the best idea. Maybe she really wasn't ready for this. After all this time...
"D.. are you alright? You're awfully quite hun.." I asked her, turning my head a bit to look at her side profile.
"Huh?" Daina darted around as if she was in a daze. "Yeah-yeah Louis, I'm totally okay. Don't worry about me." She replied, but I knew better. She was so not okay. She was more than nervous. She was shaking like a piece of thin paper in a storm.
I looked away from her and out the window, wondering how the others were going to react to seeing Daina after all this time and how she would react to seeing them. How long had it even been... a long time that's all I know. None of us had heard from her or seen her in a couple of years and even though we all wanted to get into contact with her, we were sometimes glad she wasn't around. Harry had lost it when she left and who knew how much worse he could have been if they had been together for longer and then broken up. Still, we all missed her like crazy and it wasnt fair that all of us always saw each other, yet she was left without a family. We hadn't been with Daina long... just around a year but still it had always felt like she was a part of the little family we had created. And then when she left, we all still had each other, and because of us... she had no one.
"How come you aren't asking me many questions about my life Lou? You're usually the nosiest of us all." Daina said out of nowhere. I chuckled because despite the almost offensive comment, she was absolutely and completely right.
"It's killing me D, but I'm trying to do this for the others. If I ask you everything now, I'm going to be really bored when you answer all those questions again when the rest of the boys ask you." I replied, earning a laugh out of the shaken up girl. She reminded me so much of her used to be "other half".
I once again turned to look out of the window and watched the cars and buildings blur by, as I hoped everything would be alright.

DAINA'S POV
I could feel it. I could feel when we were near the hotel. It was a weird tingly feeling in my bones. The kind of feeling that made me wish I could itch my bone, but unfortunately that isn't possible.
Or maybe I just knew where the hotel was and knew the route...
Yeah, that was probably it.
"We're here" The cab driver said and turned to look at me in the backseat. I shifted uncomfortably before pulling out my wallet from my bag.
"Hey, mate, over here." Louis said and turned the driver's attention to him as he held out a $40 bill. He handed it to the driver and we got out of the cab.
"Let's go this way. Usually there are a LOT of fans out here so we have our own door to enter the hotel." Louis grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the back of the hotel. There was a small red door at the side of the building that he led me through. We were instantly met by stairs. We climed a bunch of them before we got to hotel's elevator lobby.
"Louis, I'm not so sure I can do this..." I started before Louis put one hand up to stop me from continuing.
"No Daina. You can do this. Stop it, we've all been dying to get back ino contact with you for months, so let's go okay. Let's go." He said and hardend his grip on my wrist. He pulled me into the first elevator that got there and hit the PENTHOUSE button. It wasn't a long way up and that made me very very sad. As we climbed stories, I got more and more nervous that I felt like my heart might just pop out of my chest at any given time.
"Here we go." Louis said as we were one floor below the penthouse. The next second, the elevator door opened and we were met my carpeted floors and 2 security guards.
"Mr.Tomlinson, nice to see you back here." One of them said.
"Hey Jack, this is Daina. I'm sure you've heard of her before. Daina.. this is Jack."
"Ohh yeah." Jack replied in that 'oh boy' kind of tone- which got me really worried.
"h-hey Jack." I said. He smiled and gave me a curt nod before opening the main doors to the penthouse for Louis and me. We entered and were instantly greeted by the smell of food and sound of LOUD boys.
I instantly knew that my boys... had not changed one bit. Upon entering, in contrast to how I thought I would feel, I suddenly felt at home. At ease. And excited.
"Looouis, ma boy, is that you?" The second the sound of Zayn's voice hit my ears, I turned to the side it came from and ran to the source of the voice.
"DAINA??" Zayn screamed the second he saw me. I jumped into his arms and gripped his neck in a tight hold. The moment he screamed my name, everything in the rest of the house went silent and then 2 more voices screamed out my name and I heard the sound of running footsteps.
"DAINA WHAT THE HECK IS THAT YOU OH MY GOD!" Niall screamed and jumped onto Zayn from the back, causing the three of us to fall- very harshly- onto the carpeted floor.
"OH DEAR WOW. ITS REALLY YOU ISN'T IT?!" In the next second, Liam had appeared and managed to jump onto the already big enough pile of the 3 of us on the floor. Behind him, Louis was laughing and walking towards us.
In an instant, I was bombared with questions and hugs and kisses on the cheeks and it was all just a big sloppy messy mess.
From somewhere behind... I didnt know where behind and front were in this mess anymore.... I heard the sound of a flush and a door opening and after that everything stopped.
"What's all the racket about?" The moment I heard his voice, it was like the world stopped and everything froze in its place. I think that actually did happen as the boys stopped mid movement and became complete statues.
"Harry... look.. um who we ran into.." Liam started from the floor beside me before Harry had come into my view and I into his.
"Who? Who could make you guys this hap..." Before he could finish, he looked up, only to lock eyes with yours truly.
Wow. He was breathtaking. Even after all this time, his effect on me hadn't lessened. He stopped his movement just like the rest of us and just stared straight at me with a dumbstruck expression on his face.
"H-hi Harry..." I awkwardly whispered as I tried getting up off the floor but fell back down on my butt. I heard chuckles from the rest of the boys all around me but chose to ignore them just this once. I slowly looked up- embarassed, with reddened cheeks I'm sure- and was once again caught in the eye lock with Harry.
Awkward..
