"Where are you? Please, can't you pick up your phone? Call me back when you get this." I set my phone down on the table, and leaned back onto Niall's chest, and took a deep breath. He kissed my forehead, "I'm really worried." I said. I closed my eyes, Louis was gone, and nobody could find him. "Three days." I said.

"It's going to be okay." Niall said. "We'll find him, I promise." I nodded slowly, drifting away into sleep. My dream had Louis in it, we were back at the zoo. Back laughing at the seals. My eyes came open slowly, and my hand went up to wipe away the tears. "Are you okay?" He asked, I swallowed hard and nodded. My hands went to my pocket, and I felt the new Ford F-150 keys.

"I'll be back soon." I said, "I'll call you later." I got up and went down to the parking lot. Myblack truck, my parents had sent me was shinny, and new. I turned on the gas, and started blasting county music. I had a feeling I knew where Louis might be. I sat alone in my car heart pounding, this was my last chance of finding him, and I knew that. My hand was shaking, and lifting the coffee spilling some on myself. I tried to calm myself. I drove non-stop for the rest of the day and night, then to the next day. My right hand on Omlet, my left on the stering wheel. I soon got to the zoo. I hugged Omlet walking around, sqeezing in between families and crowds of people.

"Rea?" I heard a voice ask behind me. I turned around to see a boy looking down at me confused. Louis. I wrapped my arms around him. I didn't let go, until I realized, that I was holding him so tight he was having trouble breathing. "What are you doing here?" His eyes were red, and his face tear stained.

"I'm looking for you! I was so worried!" I said.

"You were worried? About me?" He asked. I nodded. "Well, I just thought that maybe that you're with Niall that you'd forget about me." I looked at him confused, and didn't know why he'd think that. I kissed his cheek.

"Why were you crying?"

"I wasn't! There was something in my eye." He said. I shook my head. "Well, the thing is, I- well," He stumbled through his words, I took his hands to try to get him to calm down. "When you were with Niall, I just, I really thougtht, I really thought you liked me. I love you." I gave him a long hug. "You're not mad or anything?"

"No, of course not. I do like you, it's just Niall came along first, he asked me first. We could talk to Niall about this." I said. He swallowed, "I don't need to be with him. I know how it feels. To watch the one you love, love someone else. But at the same time, life was easier when boys had cooties." I took out my phone. And called him, then gave the phone to Louis, he turned around. I couldn't hear, but Louis laughed and hung up then turned around.

"You're no longer Niall's girl." He said, "If you don't want to be at least. It's up to you. Both of will be fine with whoever you choose." I hugged Omlet to my chest, I didn't want to make a desision that big. "I know this is probably hard for you. I know you probably don't know exactly what's going on. But, I'm here for you."

"One day, when I look back, I want to know I made someone happy. Well, Louie, tell me." I leaned up and kissed him gently, "Are you happy?" He nodded, our foreheads touched and held there giggling. A group of childern, all wearing the same shirts, all from the same school, pointed and took pictures. We turned and looked at them. "Hiya everyone." I said, and after photos, and autographs we went to my car. After yet another long car ride, we got to Huston Texas, where our hotel was now. After answering many questions from the boys and Tori we finally got to sleep. I slept with Niall though, like I always did when I slept with one of the boys.

"Wake up," Zayn said, he pulled the covers off of me. It was freezing in the room. I looked around, and smiled and let a breath out when I saw Naill and Louis laughing together. "Morning, get ready we have a interview to go to." I nodded. I went to the bathroom and changed into red skinny jeans, a black-and-white stripped shirt, and stole one of Louis's red suspenders. I came out smiling looking at Louis, doing my best to not laugh.

"Did you do that on propose?" Louis asked.

"No," I said sarcasticly, "I just desided to change my look. And my look happeneds to be the same outfit as yours." He nodded. "Dude, I'm kidding." I kissed his cheek. He looked down smiling. We soon got to the interview place and in the back room waiting. "Interviews are stupid if you think about it. I mean, it's just overly loud people asking questions, that anyone can ask." The boys just laughed at me shaking their head. And we were walking on stage. The boys took up the whole couch. I blinked awkwardly and sat on the floor. "Offically a loser."

"But you're my loser," Louis said and kissed the top of my head. "So, Robert. What's the first question from your little note card things?" He turned to the man in a salmon pink shirt, and tan pants.

"This isn't on my note cards, but. You two are matching, that's so cute. Did something happen with you and Niall?" Robert asked.

"No, not at all," I said. "We're all good." I said blowing a kiss to Niall. "We just desided that me and Louis should be together."

"So, basicly you're saying at Naill didn't suit you and you want to be with Niall, who's next Liam, Harry, or Zayn?" Robert asked. "You're just playing little hooker with them?"

"No." I answered firmly, being careful not to loose my temper. "What's the next question?"

"Fair enough." Robert sounded dissapointed. "If you boys were in a fight, who would win?" The rest of the interview had more random questions probably pulled off of a stupid questions website. And we were back at the hotel in no time.

"Good job on not blowing up. I was about to hit him for saying that." Harry said. I nodded. "Who would be next though?" I glarred at him. "Sorry just asking. So, what's it like wearing Louis's stuff?" I looked down and smiled, then nodded, and gave a tumbs up.

"Can we go get some food?" Niall asked, "I'm hungry."

"You're always hungry." Liam said laughing. "Yeah, let's go get something. I'm kinda hungry too." We went to Golden Corral. We completely piged-out. After about a million times of going back up to the baffet, and about three things of cotten candy we sat talking.

"Hey, give me some salt and ice." Zayn did, I put salt on my wrist, and placed ice there. It burned and tingled. "Ow!" I whinned, but kept it there.

"I'll kiss it better." Louis said, and leaned over and kissed my wrist. His eyes got wide. "It burned my lips!" he looked like he was going to throw a temper trantum. "That's not funny!" I laughed and brushed my wrist off with a napkin, and the burning began to slowly fade. "Don't do that again, it hurts."

"Hey, she's not the one that kissed her wrist, mate." Harry laughed.

"It was worth it!" Louis said. "'Cause I love her! She's funny, she's clumsy, and she's cute!" He sipped his water. I smiled, and rolled my eyes. "Let's just go." He grumbled. We laughed at him and soon made it back at the hotel. I layed on one of the beds, tired. I wanted to go to sleep. I changed into my pajamas and came back to the boys throwing pillows at each other, and Tori dodging them, and trying to watch TV. I smiled and layed down in bed. This was my family. My boyfriend was cute, my brothers were cute, and my sister was cute. I bite my lip, and felt the scar on my face. It was whitish now and popping out. I picked up Omlet from off the floor and smiled.

"What the-!" A boy yelled and a crash happened. Two lamps fell to the ground. Glass broke, as well as the stand. It had been Liam. "Sorry guys. We'll fix that tomorrow." We all climbed into bed, and turned on the TV. I fell asleep once again in Nialls arm, but got my good-night kiss from Louis. I woke up many times durring the night. I snuggled even more up to Niall, with his arm around me, trying to sleep. Finally at waking up for the sixth time, at four o'clock, I took my keys and went down to the parkling lot. I drove around, in down town Huston watching the early morning people walk around. I sighed and went to a bar, I knew I wouldn't be able to buy any drinks, but I still sat at the bar. It smelled like smoke and beer. A girl probably a year or two older than me stood behind the bar. She was cute, with black hair and bright blue under layers and a nose ring. Two lost baby teeth completed the look. "What are you doing here? You really don't look twenty-one."

"You don't either." I laughed, kicking my feet back and forth on the bar stool. I looked around at a few other guys sitting three stools down. Neon lights, and signs with beer logos hung on the wall. The boys looked college aged. "I'm sixteen, it's legal in Europe, please." She looked at me, she could probably tell, that she knew what I was feeling.

"If you tell me one thing." I nodded as she filled a shot glass. "What's that? And arn't you Milrea Shone?" I looked down in my lap, I still had Omlet, and I was still in my pajama's.

"Yeah, I am," I swallowed the shot glass, and gave it back wanting more. "This is Louis's present to me, Omlet." I swallowed another glass. She nodded.

"So, what's up? Why are you here?" She asked, as I swallowed yet another glass.

"I just couldn't sleep." I said. She nodded. "It's just a bar, I worked at my uncle's bar from when I was ten to when I was thirteen." I smiled as the memories flooded back. "Why are you working here." I asked, swallowing another.

"Look, I don't want to get arrested or fired." She said, and took the shot galss. I sighed. "I have to. I'm getting my brother through college, so we can actually have a good home." Her voice trailed off. "It's not enouph really, but it's one of my jobs. My night job."

"You have a day job too?" I asked, she nodded. "When do you sleep then?" She shurgged. I felt bad for her, really bad. I tried thinking of something to give her. But all I had on me was Omlet, my pajamas, and my oldest shoes, with holes in the souls of them. I put my necklace in my mouth and chewed on it with my two front teeth. I'm an idiot, I thought. I looked down at my necklace. It was made of silver with a heart in the center, with angels wings. It really was beautiful, David had given it to me. I uncliped it, and held it out to her.

"Wait, seriously?" She said. I smiled and I nodded. "I can't take it. It's not mine."

"Then, I'll just leave it here." I said. "Take it or leave it. Bye I should leave before the boys wake up." I said. Then set the necklace down on the counter and left. As the door shut behind me I could hear the chain moving off of the wood. I got in the car feeling better actually. I made it to the hotel around six o'clock. The boys woke up from me tripping over a suit case and falling with a crash.

"Are you okay?" Tori laughed. I stood up and nodded.

"Yeah, I was just looking for a vending machine." I lied. I touched my lip, it was bleeding, I had been chewing on it before I fell, so I guess I bit it. "I bit my lip." I sniffled. Louis took the opportunity and got out of bed, and kissed my lips. "All better," I smiled, but got a few tissues and I held them to my lip, but Louis stayed close. All the boys got up.

"Why do you smell like beer?" Louis whispered. I looked down, but went and brushed my teeth, tying to wash away the smell. I came back out of the bathroom, and Louis asked the question again.

"I couldn't sleep. I'm fine." I said, and kissed him again, with fresh mint breath. He smiled, knowing I wasn't lying. I then got dressed in a cookie monster tee and flat bill cookie monster hat, and black jeans, with blue converse. "Do you guys remember when they switched cookie monster with veggie monster?"

"We didn't know about that." Harry said. "But that sucks."

"Yeah, I cried. Cookie monster was always my favorite character." I said. "I miss that little blue guy." I said, and we went to go to yet another interview. I did my best to be funny, and was happy that I actually got to sit on the couch with time. After the interview we had a concert. The interviews, concerts, and autographs were normal now. Photo's and videos were normals as well too. "Let's go get food, I'm hungry."

"You're turning into Niall, didn't you just eat like an hour ago?" Harry said, I nodded. "Fine, let's go." We went ot Red Robin, and sat down at one of the booths and ordered. I got my staw and shot it, to hit Zayn right in between the eyes. The straw fight turned into Tori getting the ketchup bottle and turning it into a ketchup and mustard sqeezing bottle war. But it ended when the food came and the manager yelled at us. "At least we don't have to clean it up."

"I didn't think about that." I said, "I feel bad now." My milk shake made me feel better though, I ate my burger and stake fries. Argued with the boys on if they we're called fried or chips. Then heard a fimaler voice from behind me. I went up on my knees turned around to see who was there in the other booth. "Whoa, it's you." The girl from the bar stood there, pencil and notepad in hand looking up at me. I looked closer, she was wearing the necklace. "So, you took it."

"Oh, hello." She said. "I remember you. Yeah, this is one of my other jobs. Cute hat by the way." She tried to sound cheerfully, being a waitress and all. But I could tell she wasn't, I took it off, and handed it too her.

"I have another one back at the hotel." I said. "And an Elmo one." I smiled. She held it in her hand, having to keep her uniform one on and smiled. "Don't say you won't take it." I sat back down, the boys just starred at me. "Um, old friend." The boys nodded. We finnished our food and began to leave, "I'll catch up, you guys go on ahead." They nodded, and I soon found the manager, because he was probably six foot eight.

"Not you again, haven't you made enouph mess already?" He said angerly. He had a large round tummy. I looked up at his annoyed face, and swallowed hard, he was pretty much was a scary looking man.

"Yeah, sorry." I said, "But I want to know something. Is it possible to raise just one employ's pay?" He nodded grumbling. "Well, you know the girl with the blue hair?"

"She needs to pick-up the pace." He said.

"Have you ever thought that maybe it's not her fault? Maybe she had other jobs too, that last all night, so she can't sleep." I said. "It's hard you know. Just think about raising her pay for me, 'kay?"

"Who do you think you are anyway?" He grumbled.

"Milrea Shone." I said, "If you still don't know who I am, look me up later." I gave an evil smile, and skipped out of the resterant, and onto the bus, Harry wanted to drive my truck so I let him, he had overly driven anywhere with his licence. Then sat down on the couch next to Louis. "What's next?" I asked.

"Um, New Orleans." Zayn said. "I want to go to the beach sometime when we're there."

"Do you guys know how to surf?" I asked egerly. They shook their head. "Never mind then. I wanted to have a surfing compition, but I guess 'cause you guys can't surf, it would be pointless." The boys laughed. "Hey, I'm better at surfing than you guys think then." I pouted.

"Whatever you say hun. Whatever you say." Liam laughed. I knew he was joking, so I just rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him. "That's real lady like, isn't it?"

"Since when have I ever been 'lady like?'" I asked laughing. We began heading to New Orleans, it would take about six hours. And it was already eight thirty at night, we wouldn't get to our hotel until one thirty in the morning. We wanted a day to rest once we got there, so we were going to go all night if we had to.

"She's never been lady like." Tori said, without even looking up from her book. The boys laughed, it was true though. I smiled and shook my head at that. We sat in the bus, with minor pillow fights. For dinner we ate tubs of ice creams. Then Liam made the mistake of giving me Mtn. Dew, and I was pretty much hyper and crazy, for the rest of the night. We got the hotel late at two. I had clunked out when the caffine wore off, and Louis had carried me in, because I was sleeping.

"Wake up." Louis said, and I felt a kiss on my forehead. "We're going to lunch." I woke up and looked at the clock, it was one. I shrugged and got out of bed, there was pizza on the table. I got a peice and then crawled back into bed and started eating it. Louis laughed, "That's my girl. We're going surfing today, actually, if you don't eat that quickly, we'll be late." I shoved the rest of my pizza in my mouth, chocking a little and got out of bed. I then got my bikini on. And came right back out. And slipped shorts and a tank top on.

"Let's go. I'm ready to prove I can surf." I said, and we were outside and in the bus, ready to go. Liam and Niall had gone ahead with my truck to rent the surfboards. "Harry did you tell them to take my truck?" Harry nodded. "Why? 'Cause it's a bad ass truck?" I laughed. Even Tori laughed a little. We soon got to the beach, with Niall and Liam waiting. I was the first one out, I took off my shirt and shorts. I grabbed one of the boards, and went right to the water, and paddled out. I turned around to look at the boys, who were about waist deep, and having trouble holding on to their boards, in the waves. I was sitting on my board in about twelve foot deep water. Tori laid on a towel tanning.

"I still think you can't surf!" Liam called out. I laughed and waited for a wave, then rode it, standing up, waving at the boys, who were trying to get on their boards. I passed Liam who, flipped my board. I yelp and fell in the water. "See you can't surf." He said sarcasticly. I laughing climbing on my bored.

"See, those boys know how to surf." I pointed at some boys down the water actually surfing not looking weird. "Louis, do you think you can do that?" I knew how to get boys to try harder, challenge their boy ego. Louis eye's got brighter, and he tried to swing himself on the board like riding a horse. "That's not how you do it!" I slid off my board, and then slid back on with the boys watching. "See," The boys then all got on, "just paddle out." I said, then paddled myself out. With the boys struggling. "When a wave comes, teach yourself to stand up, who's ever best at the end of the day, get's to drive my truck around for two days." The boys took the challenge.

After a few hours in the water, I wasn't surprised when Harry won the little compitition. Harry seemed to fall in love with my truck. I was about cry when Louis said we had to go. I wanted to keep surfing, but we did have to go, I understood that. We got back to the hotel at six o'clock. We had more pizza, and watched Pirates of the Carribean, ate popcorn, and played Blackjack. It was soon ten o'clock. "Hey," Louis whispered when everyone was asleep.

"Wanna go surfing?" I asked, but I already had his hand and dragging out. I didn't bother to change into my swimming suit. I turned on the engine and then went down to the surfboard renting place, still open, and got one surfboard. "Night surfing!" I yelled. I paddled out far, Louis behind me just swimming. "Come on up," I said. And we sat at opposite ends of the board, so the board wouldn't flip. "I love this." I laughed, "I love you Lou."

"I love you too." He said, and leaned way to far forward, to kiss me, but he went to faar forward. The board went down and I fell into the water, followed my him. I felt him on me in the water. We came back up to the surface laughing. He then came and kissed me, and we climbed back on the board. "Best kiss ever." I nodded and we talked until one, then went back to the truck. I giggled using the tire as a step, climbing into the back. I layed down with Louis next to me, he kissed my head, and we feel asleep in the back of my truck. It really was romantic. I woke up, my arm still resting on Louis's chest. I smiled, looking at Louis who woke up at the same time I did. "Morning beautiful."

"Morning," I said, I put my head on his chest. "Can we go get some coffee?" He laughed and reached in my back pocket, getting the keys out. I laughed and moved to the front passanger seat, and Louis turned on the truck. "Thanks."

"Anything for you," He said. I giggled. "You're giggle is so cute." I giggled more, letting him smile. I always thought that my giggle was stupid, and unattractive. I still think so but everyone says it's cute. I tried not to giggle, but it was hard not to. I turned up the radio, to cover my laughing. 'Young, Wild, and Free' came on the radio. I sang alone loudly. It was pretty much my favorite songe ever. I drank my coffee, and we left.

"Where have you been?" Zayn asked, as we walked into the hotel room. "We should've left like thirty minutes ago!"

"Sorry," My voice was quiet, Zayn looked at me as if to say sorry. I kissed Zayn's cheek, "Then let's go." We went out to the tour bus, and was soon were at the concert. I actually got to choose my dress this time. The theme was black and dark purple. I chose a black and purple frilly dress. With one sleeve, the other looking like it was torn off. And the skirt part of it looked like it had been stratched and torn apart by a lion or something. It reminded me of Alice and Wonderland, one of my favorite movies ever. Then I had purple glitter on my face. I went out on stage bare-foot. We sang a few songs. Harry had a thong thrown at him, which he did he's best to deflect. We got off the stage after a while.

"How come everything like that gets thrown at me?" Harry said.

"You don't sound to dissapointed." Liam laughed. "Where'd you get that dress?" I looked down at myself and shrugged. The boy's eyes went from my head to my toes, back up to my head. "It looks beautiful on you." I blushed and looked down at my toes.

"Shut up," I laughed, then changed into my old cookie monster outfit. They said to keep the dress. I went to the boys in the tour bus, and I gave Harry my car keys. Tori was reading still without even looking up she smiled, "What?"

"You're welcome," She said, "I designed it."

"I have to say, I'm impressed," Niall said. "You should design outfits for our next concert." Tori, got out her stetch book and flipped through some pages, until she found the one she was looking for. She handed it to us, and we crowded around it. "That's really good. And you're an amazing artist." He flipped to a picture of all of us in swim suits, "But I'm just wondering, why is Harry's penis is so big?" He laughed. Tori's face got red and snatched the book from his hands.

"I didn't mean to do that, okay?" Tori said, "I'm not a perfect artist."

"I like it," Louis said. "It's really realistic. You captured him perfectly." He tying to sound like a critic. Tori hit him with the stetch book. The boys left her alone, and she picked up her book.

"Can I have my phone back for a second?" I asked Niall who for some reason I still let him have my phone. He handed it to me, I texted Tori:

Me: Did U really not mean to do that?

Tori: ...

Me: Telllll meeeeeeee!

Tori: K, I ment to do that.

Me: Do u look there?

Tori: ...yes, he's hot and funny, k?

She then looked up at me, and winked. How cute, little ol' Tori, who claims she doesn't really care to much about the boys have a crush on one of the boys. I smiled, and nodded back.
