(Elizabeth's POV)

"Are we there yet?" Alexia whined after we had finished eating. "Ugh, we still have an hour to go!" I rolled my eyes. She groaned and went back to playing games on her tablet.

Soon after a very long hour, we finally landed.

"Thank god! If this flight was any later, I would have jumped off the plane!" Alexia mumbled as we found our luggage. "And thank god it didn't. What would have I done without you?" I said. "Aww, I would never do anything like that!" she wrapped her arms around me. "Haha, I know!"

"Hey, did you find him?" I asked looking around for Louis. He said he'd pick us up. "Well if you count the camera flashes and screaming girls as finding him, then yes, I have." Alexia pointed towards the entrance of the airport.

My eyes widened as I saw Louis walking in with Zayn, Liam, Harry and Niall. One Direction was here to get us?! I felt like my eyes were going to start pouring out tears as Louis yelled out my name, running towards me.

I ran too, inching closer and closer and before I knew it, his strong arms had pulled me into him.

"I can't believe you're here, Liz." his soft voice filled my ears. "Neither can I. I've missed you." I cried, the tears of joy just falling down from my eyes. "So have I, dear. Stop with the tears alright? You're gonna make me start crying." Louis smiled, and I could see a tear slide down his cheek.

I quickly did as he said and wiped away the tears and hugged him again. I was longing for his heartfelt hugs and I finally got one. And I was really happy.

"Okay, Liz, Alexia, meet the boys. The boys meet Elizabeth and Alexia." Louis introduced. I rolled my eyes at Louis' attempt to be funny, but I smiled anyway.

"We have names you know." Harry snorted. "Oh, I had no idea!" Louis chuckled.

"Nice to meet you, Elizabeth, Alexia!" Liam and Zayn greeted, pushing away Louis and Harry to either side of them. "Yep, it's a pleasure!" Niall chirped, his eyes shining ever so brightly. He playfully smacked my laughing baboon, Lou.

"It's so amazing finally meeting you!" I laughed. Alexia, however, just stood there in awe.

"Hello, Earth to Alexia?" I snapped my fingers in front of her eyes.

"Huh, what?" she said, awaking from her trance.

"Oh, I'm really sorry! I just can't believe you guys are right in front of me!" she exclaimed. "Hey, it's okay! We get that a lot, by the way." Harry assured.

"Oh, yeah! Remember the time one of the fans fainted?" Niall asked.

"And then Liam called her mother!" Zayn chuckled.

"That was one heck of a meet and greet! Her mom had to come. Poor girl." Harry sighed.

"Wow, the things you guys experience." I laughed.

"Yep, it's all really great though. You'll enjoy that stuff to." Niall smiled, patting my shoulder.

I have no idea what happened, but I a strange, yet pleasant feeling swept over me. I never experienced anything like this before, but it felt nice.

Before I could open my mouth to say something, Louis called us all to hurry up as the fans had gotten crazy outside.

I began to pick up my fallen suitcase, when I felt the same soft and gentle hand, lightly pull me back.
"I'm not gonna let you take your things when I'm here." Niall smiled, grabbing my suitcase. "You don't have to, I mean-" Niall cut me off. "Hey, it's no big deal. I can tell you're tired and I don't want you carrying this load of stuff." he said, grabbing my hand with his free one.

"Now come on, and keep your head down, alright?" he asked gently. I nodded, as I felt a dark blush rising up to my cheeks.

"You might want to let go now, I mean tomorrow there'll be news headlines saying 'Niall Horan of One Direction found a new girlfriend.'" I told him. "I don't mind." he smirked.

I just felt myself blushing again and to make it worse, he laughed. And it was really cute. And my ears were getting hotter and my cheeks redder, but he noticed how embarrassed I felt, so he stopped and let go of my hand. But the boy kept that grin on his face.

As we walked outside, the screams of girls filled my ears and the blinding lights of the cameras flashed.

I quickly covered my eyes with my hand and kept my head down like Niall had said.

We all piled into the car as security shut the door. I was sitting in between Alexia and Niall which I was relieved about.

Alexia nudged my arm, her eyes moving from me to Niall. I raised my eyebrows, urging her to speak. She rolled her eyes, but spoke nonetheless.

"I saw your little interaction with the Nialler back there. You guys were sooo cute!" she whispered, smiling widely. I gaped at her, but a blush crept onto my cheeks.

"So, how's been everything back home?" Louis asked, obviously wanting to end the quiet environment.

"Oh, it's all been great!" I replied, smiling.

"Uh, tell us something about yourselves!" Harry sat up properly. "Umm, well, what do you want to know?" Alexia asked. "Who's your favourite singer?" Zayn piped up.

"Elizabeth Henderson." she smiled sweetly. "Aww, I love you!" I laughed, putting an arm around her.

"No, seriously." Louis eyed her. "Ugh, I love this band, but I can't really remember what they were called." Alexia said.

"Yeah, we know you adore us, no need to act all dumb." Louis sassed it up.

"Oh, I had no idea, Louis. No idea. But I do love Little Mix." Alexia glared at him, but then smirked, putting a large smile onto Zayn's face.

Me and the others burst out laughing.

I really thought that we were going to become great friends over this short time together. I knew that we were going to have the time of our lives being here with the boys. I felt grateful for being around such sweet people and I was really happy.
