The Aftershock

-JOEYS POV-
Sighing, I take her hand and shake it slightly.
“I’m Johanna, but my friends call me Joey.”
“So what are you doing sitting all alone, in a children’s park, crying?” Olivia bluntly asks.
“It’s kind of a long story.” Scratching the back of my neck, I look over to the playground where Mary Lou was sliding down a slide and playing with another little boy her age.
Olivia plops down next to me on the bench.
“I got time.” She smiles.
Taking a deep breath, I start to tell Olivia about when the problems arose.
I was 17 and had just moved from America to London, England.
Olivia was very easy to talk to because she sat and listened without interrupting.
So here I was, sitting on a bench and telling a complete stranger about the past 5 years of my life.
By the time I had finished telling her the most recent incident, the coffee shop, it was settling on 1 in the afternoon.
Mary Lou came running over with the little boy she had been playing with trailing behind her.
The little boy had blonde hair and blue eyes.
“Auntie Joey! Auntie Joey!”
“Yes baby? Are you ready to go home and eat lunch?” I ask her sweetly.
“Yes Auntie Joey, but first I want to meet you my new boyfriend!” She says in her cute baby voice.
HER WHAT?
Mary Lou’s had the same taste in men as her mom does.
“Okay well let’s get a picture with your boyfriend…….?” I paused so she could tell me his name.
“Neil!” Oh jesus.
What are the odds?
I take out my phone and tell the sweet children to ‘say cheese’.
They smile and I snap the photo.
Cute.
Just wait till Brie hears about this!
This is hysterical!
The little boy runs off and Mary Lou opens her arms for carrying.
I pick her up and rest her on my hip.
“Sorry Olivia, this is Mary Lou Keel. Brie’s daughter.”
“Hi cutie!” She waves at Mary Lou.
“Wait, when you say Harry and Niall you don’t mean…..” Her mouth drops to the floor.
It finally clicked.
This stranger now knew that I had dated the Harry Styles and this is the Niall Horan’s daughter.
“Yup. Okay I am sorry to cut this short but this little munchkin is hungry and I have to feed her so let’s exchange numbers and maybe we can go out for coffee next week when I get back from London?” I ask her trying to change the subject.
She smiles, nods, and we exchange phones.
We say goodbye after that and head our separate ways.

(THREE DAYS LATER)
“You sure you will be ok?” Brie asks me as we sit in the terminal waiting for my plane to arrive.
“I promise.” I chuckle. “It’s not like I am going to run into Harry on the street or something!”
“Ok well I am glad you are staying with Dani because I can’t just fly to London if you have a Joey breakdown.” She tells me.
A Joey breakdown is when I break down and cry for sometimes no reason at all.
Last time I had a Joey breakdown was when I saw a poster of Harold in the grocery store.
I was stuck in the store bathroom for almost two hours.
I would have been in there longer if Brie hadn’t shown up and had to practically carry me out.
We laugh about it now, but it’s still super embarrassing to think about.
I told Brie about running into our old friends.
She cried.
I cried.
We cried.
It was a stressful day.
“Flight 15 to London, England is now boarding.”The lady on the intercom booms through the airport.
“Ok call me if you need anything and I will be on the next flight home.” I tell Brie while hugging her.
I was only going to be a week but its hard being away from my family.
Yes, Brie and Mary Lou are my family.
After the last hug I take my suitcase and walk towards the gate.
It was crowded.
Photographers, peoples, and a fucking ton of girls.
Why?
I don’t fucking know!
What if there is a celebrity on the plane?
Hah! Psh. Cause I could get a celebrity to talk to me.
Whatever.
I push through the huge crowd and find myself at the front of the line.
Giving my ticket to the perky blonde at the desk, I climb onto the plane and find my seat in the very middle of the plane.
Not too bad.
I luckily get the seat on the end.
Claustrophobic areas are not my friends.
By the time I had gotten settled, the plane was taking off.
This is going to be a long ride.

-LOUIS POV-
The boys and I are finally heading back to London.
We had to take a damn public plane though.
We got first class but I always get so bored on planes.
This is going to say.
“Mate, I am going to die of boredom on this plane.” I tell Liam as we take a seat in first class.
“I know right. This is going to be a long-ass ride.” He sighs.
I miss Joey already.
We were close until we left for x-factor.
It was amazing being able to talk to her again.
Even if it was only for an hour.
What is Harry finds out that Zayn and I have been talking to Joey?
He won’t find out.
What if he does?
I am so fucked.
///////////

It has been three fucking hours……..
I’m dying!
Standing up, I pull on my hoodie.
“Where you going Lou bear?” Harry asks me.
“I am going to go creep out the people in coach. I’m bored as bloody hell!” I confess and grin mischievously.
He rolls his eyes and goes back to his phone.
Pulling up my hood, I walk past the people casually as I make my way to the back of the large plane.
I was making it back there successfully until I bumped into someone.
“Damnit. Sorry. I wasn’t looking.”
Oh shit.
She is NOT here.
How is she here?
Why is she here?
I am in deep shit.
I hope Harry doesn’t notice that his long-lost love is on the same damn plane as him.
Joey what have you gotten yourself into?

-JOEYS POV-
I have to pee.
I have been on this flying death trap for hours.
My bladder is so close to exploding.
NO!
I hate plane bathrooms.
UGH!
I gave up on trying to argue with myself and decided to go pee.
Taking out my earphones, I shove them and my phone into my back pocket of my cute stripped jeans and head for the bathroom.
I make my way down the narrow strip of carpet hoping silently that my bladder won’t explode any time soon.
I was almost to the girls bathroom when suddenly, I was pulled into the men’s instead.
“What the-?!” Some one put their hand over my mouth.
Oh shit!
I am about to get raped!
ON A FUCKING PLANE.
“Joey! Open your god damn eyes! Its me!” I hear a familiar voice say.
I open my eyes to see him standing so close to me our chests were touching.






“LOUIS?!”
