Only The Beginning
30,000 Feet Up
"What do you mean, your taking the house away!" I nearly screamed, while standing straight up from my chair.
"Now please Miss, If you could just sit down for a moment so we can talk this thr-" the guy on the left tried to say before Lou interrupted.
"What the hell is going on here!" We all turned to her shocked. I had forgotten she was just upstairs in my room.
"We were just explaining to Miss Katherine, that this house is no longer in her family's custody."
"And who might you be? Telling my best friend that she can't live in her home!" She scoffed to the men.
"We were sent here by the government." Lefty said again.
"We don't want to do this, trust me, but it's regulation by Law. You don't own this house, your father does... Or... Did. So now it's being taken by the government." The one on the right said.
"Now if you'll excuse us, we must be on our way. The land lord will be here by noon tomorrow, so make sure your things are packed and gone by then." the middle one said as they all stood up.
"Have a nice day" The one on the left said as they turned and left. I was shocked, mad, but mostly sad that I would be losing my childhood home. And then it hit me Where am I going to live?
"My flat!" Lou said as if a light bulb was right over her head.
"What?" I asked.
"You said 'Where am I going to live? So I said my flat. You'll move in tomorrow." She answered. I didn't think I spoke aloud but I guess I did.
"Fine, but only until I get enough money to rent out my own flat." I said, not willing to put up a fight now.

"My home is your home." She said as she opened up her apartment door.
"Sorry that it's such a mess, I'm just getting ready for tour again." She said.
"Wait, what will I do when your on tour? I'll need a key, and your address. Who will help me unpack everything?" I asked, just realizing how complicated this will be with out her here.
"Um... You can come with me on tour!" She said a little to excited. "You'll come with me, and you can even help out by being my assistant." She said proudly.
"No no no and last but not least... NO!"
"What! I will not take no for an answer young lady. When we get back from tour, we will get you settled in. We're leaving for the airport in 2 hours. Be ready. I'm booking your tickets now." She said as she skipped off down the hall. I guess that means it's not up for discussion.
I'm gong on tour.
After an hour and a half of packing the things I want to bring and don't, we were finally on our way. I didn't know what I was going to say or do when we got there. I had only heard of these guys a few times before and I really had no intention of getting to knowing them, but yet I was still super nervous.
"Don't worry about it alright?" Lou said. She must have noticed that my leg was bouncing up and down, even though I tried to keep it at a minimum. "They are the most down to earth guys you will ever meet! Niall is so sweet, just like a brother, Louis is hilarious, but his sense of humor is one to get used to, Liam is so so caring and Harry is... all of that combined and more. He has great features, he's really tall, and has super long hair that most guys can't pull off but he can. I think you'd be cute with him." Lou said matter-of-factually. About 10 minuets later, we were working our selves through the crowd of screaming girls.

"IS THIS WHAT IT'S ALWAYS LIKE, LOU?" I yelled.
"YEA! BUT TODAY IS MORE HECTIC CAUSE THE BOYS ARE GOING TO BE ON THE PLANE WITH US." She yelled back. Once we made it through security, a man came up and ushered us to a small room where Lou was instantly tackled.
"LOU!"
"What took you so long!"
"Your here!"
"Ahhhh" It was instantly overwhelming when four boys came rushing at us.
"Who's this?" The blond one said curiously after they all where pushed off by Lou.
"Um. I'm Katherine, but you can just call me Kate. I'm here to assist Lou" I said as everyone was now staring at me.
"Oh, well welcome to tour. I'm Liam. That's Louis," He said pointing to the brunet, with slight scruff around his chin and under his nose.
"Hello!" He said a bit to excitedly. I assume that's the one with the the humor.
"That's Niall" Liam said, slapping to the boy with blond hair on the back.
"Oi! What was that for!" Niall said with a thick Irish accent. I hope I'll become quite close with him.
"And that's Harry." He said pointing to the other brunet with long curly hair that just touched his shoulder. I think that's the one Lou described with the good looks. And I had to admit, Lou was quite right. Wait. What am I saying!
"Hello Love" He said. His low raspy voice sending chills down my back.
"Now boy's," Lou said, snapping me back to reality. "I'm setting some ground rules right now. No one and I mean no one hurts her. You will not touch one hair on her head! She's going through hard times right now. Understand!" She said like a general from the army.
"Yes Ma'am!" They all said in unison. After Lou introduced me to every one on the "Team," it was time to board the plane. I have to admit I was quite scared, I had never been on a plane before.
"Don't worry It's not as bad as you think." Niall whispered into my ear, after I hesitantly entered the docking hall to first class. I just looked at him and nodded, taking a deep breath as I entered the plane. I guess the boys really are what they were described to me as. Once we all entered, I was the last one on, and the only seat left was next to Harry.
"Here, I have a spot for you next to me" Harry said, patting the seat next to him. Once I sat down, my leg instantly started to shake out of nervousness. I annoyed quite a lot of people by doing this, but I couldn't help it.
"Are you nervous?" He asked in a slightly hushed tone. I just turned to him and nodded while biting my bottom lip.
"It's alright. I was the same way on our first tour. But don't worry, after a while It's just like riding in a car... Only your like 30,000 ft. in the air." He said, making me smile at his attempt to make me feel better. But once we started to ascend into the air, I became more nervous then before. I thought I hid it pretty well this time, but I guess it showed because soon after my leg started to shake again, Harry took my hand in his and rested them in his lap, instantly giving me goose bumps across my arms and legs.
"There. Is that better?" He asked quietly. I just smiled and nodded.
