Chapter One
Niall's POV (Point of View)
I sat at the airport in one of those very uncomfortable chairs, twiddling my thumbs and waiting impatiently to see if my flight would be on time. Outside I could see clearly that the blizzard was at full force and wasn't stopping anytime soon. I wondered about Kat, my best friend. What was she doing? Was she waiting for me to call her? I had known Kathryn ever since we were about ten, when she moved to Ireland from New York, and being away from her for so long was terrible, especially since I loved her.
"Attention everybody," a voice came up over the speaker. I sat up straight and waited. "Due to the weather conditions, almost every flight will be delayed for at least two hours. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thank you for you cooperation. Thank you." There was a crack as the message ended, and everybody groaned, including me.
I pulled out my iPhone and dialed Kat's number, which I had memorized. It rang twice before Kathryn answered excitedly, "Hello?"
"Kat?" I replied. She squealed and I laughed a little. She was waiting for me. "Uh, well, this actually is not the call I wanted to give you. I'm still in London because my flight's been delayed because of the weather." I scrunched my face up, waiting for her reaction.
"Oh," Kat said. "It's not snowing though." I couldn't help but laugh a little, as she let out another, "Oh."
"Yeah," I said sadly. "Hopefully I'll be home soon though. I miss you."
"I miss you too," she answered. "Make sure you call me as soon as you land. Have a safe flight." I chuckled.
"Okay, Mum," I laughed. "I'll see you soon, Katie Kat. Merry Christmas." I hung up the phone, and reminisced on the first time I called her "Katie Kat." We were probably sixteen, and I was the only person who called her Kat. Everybody called her Katie or just Kathryn, so I mixed the two together and called her Katie Kat as a pet name sort of.
"Oh my God!" I looked up and saw a teenage girl with tears in her eyes and a shocked look on her face. "You're Niall Horan from One Direction!" I nodded.
"Uh, yeah, I am," I said quietly. I guess the hat didn't work well. People's heads turned from all directions and some girls even came over to me. I wasn't in the mood to be Niall Horan from One Direction. I loved our fans, but sometimes you get tired of running from fans everywhere you go.
Quickly, I got out of my seat and headed for the nearest bathroom, which was just in front of me fortunately. It was a good thing that most directioners were girls that wouldn't go in the boys' bathroom.
I stood against the wall for what had to be an hour. I couldn't take any chances. What if I walked out and everybody mobbed me? I decided that it was pretty safe, and cautiously walked out the door, putting my hat back on.
Well, I was wrong. There was a mob of people there, waiting for me to come out. I was about to run for it, when I felt a hand tug on my own fingers and pull me with her.
My rescuer was a a petite blond girl who was much faster than me. I had to sprint to keep up with her as we ran through the airport together and found a hiding place behind some plants.
"Here!" she yelled, diving behind them and sitting with her hand folded around her legs. I sat in the same style, struggling to catch my breath, but she seemed perfectly fine.
"Uh, thank you," I said once I could breathe again, blushing. "Really, thanks." She smiled and I noticed how straight her teeth were and how bright her green eyes were when she grinned.
"It's no problem," she said in a small voice. "I'm obviously used to the whole fan thing. People follow me everywhere." I knew that she was joking, so I laughed along with her. Then she held her hand out and shook my hand. "I'm Alexa, by the way. Alexa Peters."
"I'm-" I started, but she finished for me.
"Niall Horan," Alexa said. "I know. Everybody knows." I grinned and shrugged.
"Maybe not everybody," I said, embarrassed. Alexa laughed.
"I'm not too sure about that," she said, smirking. A phone buzzed in her pocket, and she groaned as she looked at it. "My mum is looking for me. I have to go."
"Do you want my number or something?" I asked her, surprising myself. What are you doing? Alexa looked just as shocked.
"Uh, yeah, sure," she said, grinning again. "Can I have your phone?" I handed her my phone and waited as she typed in her information. She handed it back to me and stood up.
"Well, bye!" she said. I stood up too.
"Bye, Alexa," I said. "Thank you again!" Alexa jogged away, which was probably equivalent to the speed of my running. I couldn't help but think that it wouldn't be such a horrible day after all.
