The unexpected
Chapter 1
"MOM" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs. "We got to get going, my flight leaves in an hour" I said as I carried the rest of my stuff to the door. Today was the day I was leaving for London, England. I couldn't sleep at all last night as my stomach filled with butterflies; I was going to be on my own for the first time. I had begged my parents for the opportunity to live in England and be on my own for a change. As much as it pained me to be away from my family, I really needed a change. "Coming, sweetheart" my mom said as she made her way downstairs. "You ready" she said planting a big kiss on my forehead. "Yeah, I think so" I smiled. My whole family helped me pile my things in the car, as we were ready to head to the airport. "I can't believe you're going to be living in England for a year, I'm going to miss you" said my sister as her smile slowly crept into a frown. "I'm going to miss you too" I said as tears stung my eyes. My sister and I were very close, so it really pained me to say goodbye to her. "This is the last of it" my brother said as he put my last bag in the car. "Are we ready to go" my dad yelled. We finally got to the airport; it really felt like a year had gone by. "Well...Here we are" I said to my family as we reached the Toronto Pearson International Airport. "Yeah, here we are, Please tell me you changed your mind" replied my dad in an overly protective tone. "No, dad I didn't change my mind, I'm ready" I said. "Okay sweetie, now remember to call us when you get there" said my mom while giving me a big hug. "Don't forget about us" replied both my sister and brother, quickly giving me hugs. "Okay, well I better get going" I said as I started to drag my bags to where my flight was. "Bye" replied my whole family in unison. I waved quickly and made my way to where my flight to London was taking off. I gave my ticket to the lady and quickly found my seat with my carryon bag in hand, I was so thankful that my parents got me a first class ticket, I could not handle sitting in tight spaces. I finally felt relaxed, I hated taking planes alone; the thought of it scared the crap out of me. "Where are we sitting" I heard someone in an English accent say. A stunning group of five boys arrived, with sunglasses and hoodies on, somewhat seeming like they wanted to go unnoticed. I started to take a closer look at who they were, a part of me thought I'd recognized them from somewhere. "Harry and Louis your sitting over there Niall and Zayn you two over there", she directed, and Liam, you're sitting right here beside this young lady" The flight attendant said as she pointed to the empty seat beside me. Liam slowly started to take off his sunglasses and sat down next to me. "Hi, I'm Liam Payne" he said.
"Nazila, nice...to...uhh meet you" I said in a nervous tone, while shaking his hand. My heart was pounding so hard I thought my heart was going to fall out of my chest. I was sitting beside Liam from One Direction, I couldn't believe it, I thought to myself. The other boys were close to me as well but were sitting in different sections, i had hoped to have Liam introduce me to them, but I didn't want to seem like a crazy fan. "So what are you guys doing In Canada" I asked, already knowing the answer. "Were here to promote ourselves in North America, but were heading back to England now to go to the Brit Awards" he smiled. "That sounds like fun" I replied.
The flight took forever to reach London, but i wouldn't change it for anything. Liam and I had such a good time. It felt like we've been friends forever and that i could tell him anything. He made me laugh nonstop and we talked about our families and what goes on in our daily lives. He also told me that he loved my Canadian accent which made me squeal like a freak. After talking for about an hour or two just the two of us, the other boys were curious as to why we were laughing so much so they came along and introduced themselves to me. "Hello love, what's your name" asked Louis. "Nazila, nice to meet you" i replied nervously. "Very nice to meet you Nazila" Harry replied finishing Louis sentence. Harry gave me a cheeky grin winked and kissed my hand. Niall and Zayn gave me big hugs and kisses on the cheek. "So what were you two laughing at" asked Zayn. "Random things" replied Liam as he winked at me. "Can we join you, I like a good laugh" asked Niall. "Of course you can" I replied with a smile. We moved to an area on the plane that was able to seat all six of us. From the moment we sat down we couldn't stop laughing. Louis and Niall were making fun of each other and I had some jokes up my sleeves which made all of us laugh like crazy. "Where have you been all our lives" asked Harry grinning. "Where have YOU boys been all my life, you guys are hilarious" I replied. The boys all smiled at me.
"Everyone please take your seats, we will be landing shortly" said the flight attendant through the speakers. We all returned to our seats somewhat unhappy because we were having such an amazing time together. I couldn't believe this actually happened. In a way I was friends with One Direction, my favourite band, it all felt so surreal.
