Managing... Just... a One Direction Fan fiction

20

We were waiting to board the plane. I was listening to my iPod while the boys hid from the paps.

“Who’s sitting with who?” Harry whispered looking at my over his Raybans. Seriously, its December.

 “Dunno….” I shrugged my shoulders. Listening to Adele 21 while in a foul mood, doesn’t really lift your spirits…. It just makes it 10 times worse.

“We’re in 1’st class right?” Zayn said looking up from his phone.

“Yeah. Don’t worry, you can sleep. Me and Paul will take it in turns to keep watch for any intruding fans. You can sleep peacefully. Speaking of which, where is Paul?” I said looking round the line hoping to see the man I work with.

I didn’t.

“Food shopping” Niall smiled happily. Like a little boy who was just allowed to have a sweet shop all to himself and not pay for any.

“Great” I half smiled. “Plane food is always horrible, no matter where you sit or who you fly with.” I muttered.

“Here he is” Liam said as the line began to shuffle down the corridor we were standing in. Paul made his way down, left hand carrying 4 bags full of food.

“You can get drinks on the plane” He explained as Niall grabbed one and I put my iPod away. “Share guys”

“Yeah yeah yeah” Harry said taking one and walking with the rest of the line towards the plane. We gave our passports and paperwork to the man behind the desk. I pulled my jumper back over my shoulder and walked to the little walkway until I got to the plane. I made my way to our seats. The boys soon followed, long way off behind me, obviously stopped to chat with some fans or some staff. I sat down at the window seat, letting whoever wanted to sit next to me, sit next to me.

“Hey” Liam said sitting next to me, as the stewardess put his bag in the bag holder.

“Hey Li” I mumbled, resting my head against the window as Harry Louis and Zayn took a seat behind me. Paul, Josh and Sandy in front. The rest of management and Lou and Lux in front of them, while Niall took a seat next to Liam.

“Boys” I turned round to a grinning Louis, a smirking Harry and a laughing Zayn. “Behave”

“Yeah!” Harry said sticking his tongue out at me.

-Niall’s POV-

It was halfway through the plane ride, and to be honest, I think Liam is up to something. Zayn, Lou and Louis are asleep. Eliza, fell asleep about half an hour ago as it is Paul’s turn to ‘Keep watch’. Lux is currently on Harry’s lap looking out of the window and the rest of the guys are just either dozing or listening to music.

“Look, Liam. You practically ran onto the plane and sat next to Eliza. What the hell is up?” I hissed.

“I knew you would sit next to each other” Liam replied simply, keeping his eyes locked on the seat in front, which was occupied by a dozing Josh.

“What if I did?” I said bitterly. I couldn’t wait for 23 hours sitting next to a sleeping Eliza. But Liam had to ruin it.

“I ment what I said Niall” Liam said. “You’re going to have to stop getting so close with her. Its like a student dating a teacher. It cant be done!” Liam sighed, rubbing his eye a little.

After that, I decided to go to sleep. I curled up into my seat and tightly shut my eyes, clearing my mind as I did so.

We pulled up at our Hotel. Eliza, Paul, Josh, Sandy, Lou and Lux and the rest of the management in the people carrier behind us.

“What do you want to do when we get unpacked then?” Liam smiled.
