What Happens In London, Doesn't Always Stay In London

Chapter 1

Never have I ever gone drinking, smoking, had sex, absolutely none of it. I found it intolerable. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Kaitlin. I have fair skin, freckles, blond hair, and blue-green eyes. I am tall, about 5'7" to be exact, and I love everything. I am a sophomore in high school, and I have plenty of friends to turn to for help. Two of mine stand out; Skylar and Anna. I had just became friends with them last year as a freshman, but now we were best friends. We did everything together. My parents weren't very wealthy, but I lived a pretty good life. I am a high-honors student, and I have two brothers, making me the middle child in my family. I had never bothered to deal with the drama of having a boyfriend, so I just denied every guy who asked me out. One time I was at Skylar's house. The year was 2010. In the United Kingdom, there was a newly-formed band on the X-factor named One Direction. There was something about them that stuck in my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about these five boys. Now the year was 2012 and I had fallen head-over-heels in love with these boys. They were my life, even though they had no idea who I was. I supported these boys all of the way with any decision they made. 

"Hey Kaitlin!" My dad called from downstairs. I was on my laptop in my room. I jumped up and ran downstairs. He had a smile on his face.

"Yes?" 

"We are going to London for a vacation." A million thoughts were going through my mind. Then I realized One Direction was in London recording their new album. I began to feel dizzy. Then I sat down on the couch with my Dad.

"Really?" I asked, my voice becoming a little high.He laughed and nodded. "When?"

"Next week. I know, it's short notice, but I have a job interview there. And I know how much you want to go there Sweetheart." I smiled and excitedly pulled my phone out of my pocket. I began to text Skylar and Anna. They replied almost immediately. Then the doorbell rang. Expecting it to be Anna, I answered it. The second I opened the door, someone's arms were arond my neck, embracing me in a hug. Then my dad called me back into the living room. Anna followed me.

"Yes Dad?" I asked, willing to do anything because I was so grateful he was taking me with him. 

"Do your friends want to come with us?" My jaw dropped. What could have been better? I was visiting London with my two best friends. Skylar and Anna seemed excited. 

A WEEK LATER

We were on an airplane. Skylar, Anna, my Dad, and I were all heading to London. I brought my laptop on the plane with us. We started blogging and reblogging all things One Direction. When the plane finally landed, we got into a rental car and drove to our hotel. My Dad checked us in and we walked up to our rooms. It was mid-afternoon so we had the freedom to go shopping and do whatever we felt like doing. Anna Skylar and I ended up going to the mall and went shopping. We made our way to the food court. There was a big crowd mobbing someone, so we side stepped them. We ended up getting fried chicken. We sat down. Then in the empty seat next to me, a boy sat down. He was wearing a dark hood and jeans. He didn't look up. 

"Hello, sorry, I need to hide here for just a moment ladies, if you don't mind." He said, still looking down. Then a news reporter came up to us.

"Hello girls. Have you seen them?" She asked. 

"No." We shook our heads. The reporter seemed to be staring at the boy next to me. "This is my boyfriend, Zach. We are visiting from America. Who are you talking about?" I covered for the boy. The reporter shook her head and walked off. The boy took off his hood and looked at us.

"Sorry about that." He said with a tiny smile. He looked straight into my eyes. He had blue-green eyes, blond hair, and a thick Mullingar accent. I smiled back, my friends in nervous wrecks.

"No problem." I said, offering him fried chicken. He smiled even bigger and took one. 

"Thank you for covering for me. We can't escape from them." He continued. 

"Niall, don't worry about it." He was caught off-guard when I said his name.

"You're not freaking out and fangirling?" He asked incredibly confused. "That's not the usual reaction I get from girls." 

"Oh trust me buddy, I am freaking out on the inside. I wouldn't like it if someone was freaking out in front of me, so why do it to you?" He seemed to understand. He nodded. Then his phone buzzed. He pulled it out. 

"Sorry, I've got to go meet up with the lads. Would you like to come?" He asked hopefully. Anna Skylar and I exchanged glances. 

"Sure!" We agreed. Niall took my hand and led me outside to his car, followed by Anna and Skylar.
