All That You Can't Leave Behind.

I got off my flight in a hurry.
It was quite possibly the worst plane ride i've ever experienced.
My ipod died, the lady behind me snored like crazy, and her son threw spitballs at me the entire time. Oh and did I mention the old man I sat next to wouldn't stop staring at my boobs?
Thats what I get for not paying the extra cost for a first class ticket...

I take my sunglasses off, and shove them inside of my blue tote bag. I stand on my tip-toes, trying to see around the crowds of people. Niall better not have forgotten to pick me up...

I look to my left, and i'm surprised when I see Niall walking towards me.

"Electra! You look great! It's been what, four years? he asks, pulling me in for a hug.

"Ugh, four years too long. I missed you Ni!" I tell him.

"I missed you too El. I'm glad you're back, even if it's just for the summer." Niall smiles. I smile back.

"So did Harry come with you? I really wanna see him."

Niall shifts his feet and looks down at the ground.

"Ni? Whats wrong?" I ask, my smile fading.

"Well.. It's complicated. A lot has changed El, Harry's not the same guy you knew four years ago..." he explains.

"What do you me-"

"ELECTRA!" I hear someone shout, cutting Niall and I's conversation short.

I turn around and see..Zayn?

No.

That can't be Zayn!

The last time I saw him he was much shorter, and definetely not as fit.

"Zayn is that you? Holy shit!" I embrace him in a hug.

"Its me babe" he chuckles.

Zayn, Niall, Harry, and I used to be best friends. That is, until my dad got a new job and my family had to move to America.

"The last time I saw you, I was taller than you" I point out.

"Well the last time I saw you, you had blonde hair." he says, pulling a strand of my purple hair.

I stick my tongue out at him.

"You guys ready to go?" Niall asks.

We nod, and the guys help me with my luggage.

I couldn't help but notice how Niall's whole demeanor changed when I brought up Harry.
Did Harry really change that much in the last four years?

"We're here" Niall said, nudging my shoulder.

I open my eyes and notice we're parked in the driveway. I must've fallen asleep in the car.

"Damn jetlag" I mutter.

He chuckles and helps Zayn carry in my luggage. I grab my purse off of the seat, and get out of the car.

I take a look at the outside of the house.
It seems pretty big.

Well I guess that makes sense since five guys are living here, what did you expect them to live in? A shack?

Just then, Niall comes back outisde, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Hey, you gonna come inside? Or were you planning on sleeping out here tonight?" he teases.

"Hmm. I do kinda like it out here..." I joke.

Niall laughs and puts his arm around my shoulder as we walk up to the door.

"I'm excited to meet your friends. Hopefully they like me." I mumble the last part as we walk inside.

"Uh yeah, about that. I forgot to mention-" Nialls starts, but stops himself when we see someone walking down the stairs.

He's tall, and he's wearing a black t-shirt that shows off his many tatoos. His hair is a curly mess, and the way his dark green eyes looked into mine made me feel...intimidated.

And did I mention he's wearing a pair of extremely skinny skinny jeans?

He looks a lot like Harry, except an older and darker version from the last time I saw him...

But..He can't be Harry.

No.

There's no way.

He doesn't say anything to me, just walks out the front door.

"Niall..Was that-"

"Yeah El. That was Harry. That's what I was trying to tell you when we first walked in. Harry is one of my roomates."

"Wh-What happened to him? He used to be so... different."

"Well. That was a long time ago. Lets just say, Harry was going through a rough time. And after you moved away it got worse." Niall sighed.

"What do you mean?" I question.

"Look, it's not my place to tell you. It's Harry's business, you should ask Harry."

I decide to drop the subject for now.

"C'mon I want you to meet the rest of the guys." Niall grabs my hand and leads me through the house.

I try to pay attention to what Niall is saying, but I've got other things on my mind.
Other people.
