Chapter 14

ROSALIE'S P.O.V:
5 more minutes until we officially land. I stared outside my window and noticed all the buildings and the trees and the ocean. I saw the Sydney Harbour Bridge and smiled to myself. I felt so much at home, I felt so safe. That was the longest trip, and I felt quite jet lagged since the time zones were completely different. The plane landed and I was so excited. I sat next to a lovely lady who was coming back to Sydney after she had a reunion with her family. I grabbed my small bag and luggage and walked to the airport. The weather was really hot and I knew it was so good to be home. I went through all the security and had difficulty picking out my luggage but I got it all. I made it out in one piece, and I went through the doors to meet my family. I walked out and heard sudden screams from someone.

"Rosalie! Is that you?! ROSALIE" shouted a man, I turned around and noticed it was my dad. I ran up to him and he ran. He gave me the biggest hug and a kiss on the forehead.
"Daddy!" I said and hugged him back, suddenly crying. This was the longest since I haven't seen them and I was so overwhelmed by it all. I looked back and saw my mum. I ran to her and hugged her immediately and kissed her on the cheek.
"Mum!" I said.
"Rose, you look so beautiful. I missed you so much, welcome home" she said, having a tear in her eye.
"Thanks mummy" I smiled, hugging her again.
"Ew" whispered a voice and I turned out immediately, noticing it was my brother Scott.
"Scott, ugh" I replied jokingly and gave him a hug.
"What about me?" asked James, my other brother.
"Hi! I missed you guys.. surprisingly" I said hugging them both.

They carried my bags and I linked my arms with my mum telling about my whole trip. Telling her about my new job, my college, the great opportunities, Amy, the apartment, everything. During the car ride, my brother looked at me and grinned.

"What?" I asked, sightly annoyed.
"Whose Harry?" James asked, nudging me. My mum and my dad looked at me also.
"Yeah, who is that guy? You were like on the internet and everything" replied my mum.
"We didn't want to ask you on the phone, but who is he?" asked my dad, acting overprotective of it all.
"Just a friend mum, don't you remember George?" I asked.
"Yeah, but he is pretty good looking that boy Harry. He's famous?" asked my mum.
"He is so famous! Aren't they coming down to Sydney soon Rose?" asked Scott.
"Yes... why?" I asked, confused with this sudden up bringing of the topic.
"Just wondering, I want to meet the guy." said Scott.

I brushed it off, and changed the subject incase my brothers would embarrass me anymore. We started talking about everything and when I came home I fell straight to my bed. It was kept, completely the same. It was so good to be home.

1 week later.

HARRY'S P.O.V:
We are currently getting ready to fly out to Sydney, Australia. The boys are so excited since this is our first time to Australia. We had so many tweets of fans who were delighted to see us and we are hopefully going to meet them all since we're doing a lot of tv shows, interviews and live performances. I got all my stuff ready and had my luggage in the living room. Eleanor was helping Louis finish up in his room and Caroline was on the couch. I walked to her and wrapped my arms around her.

"Going to miss you Harry" she said, snuggling her head in my neck. I rested my head on hers and smiled.
"Going to miss you too Caroline" I said, holding her hand tightly.

"Ok lovebirds, it's time to go!" Louis shouted as he exited the bedroom door holding Eleanor's hand whilst dragging out a big suitcase and she was holding his bag. We all went down to the Lobby to meet up with Niall and Liam but Zayn has not shown up yet. Late as usual. Danielle was there with Liam on the couch talking to Niall and we all waited for Zayn.

"Zayn, you done? We gotta go!" said Liam as he called Zayn. Within 10 minutes, Zayn came down with his hair all done and bringing his stuff done. He exchanged a few sorrys and carried his bag into the van. We all followed and put our stuff in the car boot and walked back to the lobby to say goodbye to our girlfriends. Liam and Danielle were hugging for ages and kissing passionately. Eleanor and Louis were hugging and looking at each other, laughing and smiling and sharing a long kiss. I looked down at Caroline and gave her a kiss on the forehead, she wrapped her arms around me and gave me a long kiss on the lips. It was so urgent, so forceful as her lips pressed strongly against mine.

"Have fun Harry, safe trip" she said, wrapping her arm around me.
"Thanks babe, talk to you soon" I said, giving her another kiss on the cheek.

We all said goodbye and exchanged a few hugs before we went to the airport because we knew paparazzi's and fans were going to be there.

"Bye boys, have fun!" shouted Eleanor.
"Say Hi to Rose for us! Tell her we miss her" shouted Danielle. I smiled and looked at Caroline, she didn't smile nor look amused at what Danielle said. I never got the chance to ask Caroline if she liked Rosalie, but I'm sure she's just a bit jealous, no biggy. We all waved back and got into the van and sat down.

"I can't wait, oh my gosh. It's going to be fun" exclaimed Niall as he shook excitedly.
"Let's take a picture!" Liam said and got out his phone and took a picture of all of us. He posted it on twitter: Australia here we com! Woo woo :)

We all starting chatting about our trip and discussing about Rosalie's surprise for her friend Jess. We decided to sing her What Makes You Beautiful and let Zayn take my solo and serenade her. We rehearsed it in the car and knew it was good to go. We arrived at the airport and there were so many fans waiting outside. We took several photos and signed many things.
"Harry, Harry, can I take a photo with you?"
"Harry, can you sign this?"
"Oh my gosh, Harry!"
"Harry!"
"Harry, are you dating Rosalie?"
"Harry, dump Caroline!"

These were the reoccurring shouts I heard from the fans. I kept getting asked about Rose a lot these past couple of days because people were asking me where she was because she was tweeting or doing anything, like she disappeared. I couldn't tell them where she went because it'll come around and it would ruin the surprise for her best friend. We all got dismissed by our security and made our way to our boarding flight. We got on and I sat next to Louis. This was going to be the longest flight I've ever took and my excitement is uncontrollable!

ROSALIE'S P.O.V:
I woke up in bed, feeling quite lazy when I realised I slept till 1pm. The past week was amazing. I caught up with all my cousins, aunties and uncles and they were so happy with all the gifts I brought home. I ate so much the past couple of days and my parents were so proud of how far I achieved that they spoiled me every day. My mum took me to a shopping spree which I was happy to pay for all of it, I went to the park, to fancy restaurants, to lunch, to the beach, to everywhere. Thank fully no-one noticed me because I was covered in my glasses the whole time since it was so sunny over here. Never knew how much I missed the sun! I went on twitter and noticed that Harry sent me a private message.

Harry_Styles
Hey R! Just landed in Aus, heres my temporary number: 0487 689 573, call me when you get this! So you can give me your address and everything. The weather is amazing!

I dialled the number immediately and waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello?" answered a deep, husky voice.
"Harry! Guess who" I said.
"Not... sure. Sounds like..." he exaggerated, joking around ", haha, only kidding. Hey Rose! I'm so excited oh my gosh our hotel is amazing, the fans that came down.. so many and I can't believe we're here. The weather, is outstanding, I love it already" he blabbed on, chattering away excitedly like a little child.
"Harry, Harry. Slow down!" I laughed, amused by his behaviour.
"Sorry! I'm just so excited. Oh where do you live?" he asked. I gave him my address and had to repeat it several times so he could write it down.
"When is Jess' birthday party again?" he asked.
"In 2 nights, how are you getting there?" I asked.
"Just asking if you wanted to come get picked up by us. It'll be easier"
"Yeah, that'll be good. Thank you! So excited!"
"Also, do you want to come down to the morning show tomorrow? We're performing at a morning show called Sunrise, and just asked if you wanted to come. Support us!" he asked.
"I'd love to, what time do you want me there?" I asked.
"We'll pick you up... 7:00am?" he said. I groaned at how early the time was and agreed. We exchanged our goodbyes and I got out of bed to tell my parents about tomorrow.

I got out of bed and noticed my mum made breakfast for me at the table. My parents had to go to work and as my brothers both live in a different apartment with their girlfriends. I was having such a lazy day today, I dressed in my short pj shorts and a singlet and walked around my house eating an iceblock. I decided to watch and catch up on some Australian tv shows, and ended up doing that the whole day. I pampered myself with a long bubble bath and relaxed. I checked my facebook and noticed Jess posted on my wall.

Jess Richards
I'm still so gutted you can't come. Miss you loads, haven't heard of you for while. Wish you were here.

George Michaels
Sucks you aren't going to make it for Jess' birthday babe, miss u xx

I couldn't help but chuckle because I cannot wait in the look of their faces. Jess has always been supportive of my scholarship and has been friends with me ever since the first day of highschool. She is going to love the performance! I realised the time flew really quickly as my parents came home with my favourite Thai food for dinner. We decided to eat outside and talked about everything.

"Mum, Dad, I'm going to go to Sunrise tomorrow morning" I said.
"How come?" asked my dad, looking confused.
"It's One Direction's first Australian live performance, and Harry asked to come and support"
"What's up with Harry, does he like you or something?" chuckled my mum, making me blush.
"No, he has a girlfriend. He's one of my best friends" I said, reassuring my dad.
"Ok, good. This boy seems quite attached to you" said my dad.
"Can I go then?"
"Whose taking you?"
"Them, they're picking me up in their car"
"Fine, but don't be home late. You may be older, but you are still my daughter" replied my dad. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and packed up all the food and continued watching my movies as I fell asleep.

HARRY'S P.O.V:
It was currently 6am, and we are all completely jet lagged. We got woken up by our manager and we all had to get washed up immediately to get ready for our live performance on Sunrise. We all got makeup and hair styled by professionals and got dressed up, picking out our own clothes. The weather is really warm in Sydney, and the boys and I weren't so used to it all. We literally sweated bullets when we walked out of the airports. We all met down at the Lobby and I gave Rose's address to our driver for our Sydney trip so he can go pick her up. Rose didn't that far from where we lived, it would be about a 30 minute drive. Me and the boys got off our car and went to her door to ring her door bell.

Ding Dong.
A man appeared, and opened the door and I presumed it was Rose's dad.
"You boys must be One Direction. I'm Rosalie's Dad" he said, leaning his hand out to shake out hands.
"Morning Mr. Vanetta. How are you?" Liam asked politely.
"I'm good thank you. And you must be... Liam?" he guessed, smiling.
"And you must be... Zayn, Louis, Niall and Harry?"
"Correct sir" said Niall.
"Harry, do you like my daughter?" asked Mr. Vanetta. The boys all bursted out laughing and giggling at his sudden question. I started blushing at his question and shook my head.
"No sir, I have a girlfriend"
"You boys take good care of her please" he said.
"Definitely Mr. Vanetta" Zayn replied.
"Call me Henry" he said, smiling as he went to go call Rosalie. Then walked out Rosalie's mum. She was young, and I would say I know where Rose got most of her good genes from. She smiled at all of us and greeted us all warmly.

"Rose told me a lot about you. She really adores you" she said.
"Likewise to her, Mrs. Vanetta" said Louis, smiling his cheeky grin.
"Just wanted to thank you boys for taking care of her whilst she was in London. She's grown attached to you boys, take good care of her" she smiled. We all nodded in unison.
"Mum.. you're embarrassing me" whimpered a soft voice.

Then emerge Rosalie who looked so happy, and healthy. She glowed, she looked much more ... how would I put it. She looked beautiful as always, but I've never seen her this relaxed and free. She kissed her parents goodbye and started walking with us to the car. She was wearing a pair of coloured denim pants with a singlet. She had her hair loosely curled and wore her tanned aviators as always. There wasn't much space for her to sit in but Liam volunteered to sit at the front. Rose sat in between me and Zayn and it was a nice time to catch up with her. We talked about everything, the trip and our performance. We were so excited. We arrived at the studios and got off quietly in a secret door to avoid too many crazy fans and paps. We got greeted by the Australian hosts and got our Mic ready and everything. We looked outside the glass window and waved at the whole heaps of fans who turned up, there were so many. The screams were so loud, and we all waved excitedly. It was so amazing. We got ready and did a short soundcheck and went on stage straight away. The crowd was so loud. Rosalie had to hide back in the studios and watch us on tv because she was scared the paps or the fans would spot her. We performed What makes you Beautiful and Gotta be you. It was so good, the fans enjoyed it so much and we got back to the studios to do an interview.

"Good morning Australia! We got the hottest boy band at the moment, all the way from the UK. Make some noise for One Direction" shouted the female host.
"Wooooo!" we all shouted, pumping our fists up in the air. We were all pretty much sweating after our performance and the adrenaline was still pumping in. The hosts started asking about our Xfactor journey and our achievements, as well as a upcoming tour.
"Do you think you boys will tour in Australia?" asked the host.
"Yes, definitely. I'm sure we will, not sure when. But I'd always love to" replied Louis.
"We'd also like to ask about relationship. Who's single?" asked the male host.
"Me and Niall are" replied Zayn, putting his hand up.
"Harry, now you are dating a female 15 years older, correct?" I nodded at the question and smiled.
"But who is this Australian friend you've been hanging out with. She's made a few headlines on the internet. Been pretty much a lot of rumors, would you like to clear it up. What does she mean to you?" asked the female host. I looked up to find Rosalie blushing behind the camera. She shook her head, not wanting me to say anything cheesy about her. She smiled and put her thumbs up to answer something because there was a short pause.

"Rose is just a friend, a good friend. Met her in London, got along and she's a huge part in my life. She's just like a girl best friend, don't know what I'd do without her" I said, smiling. I looked up to Rosalie and we both caught each other's eye contact for a solid minute and she looked away. She blushed and walked away, looking embarrassed. I couldn't help but chuckle softly as the other boys started poking me teasing at my really over corny description of my friendship with Rose. We continued the interview and after 10 minutes, we had to wrap it up. We all went to the signing downstairs for fans and went to meet competition winners. It took an overall 2 hours and we were completely dead beat. But Rosalie was nowhere to be seen, where was she?

ROSALIE'S P.O.V

"Rose is just a friend." "Rose is just a friend" "Rose is just a friend" "Rose is just a friend" "Rose is just a friend" "Rose is just a friend" "Rose is just a friend"

This line was the only thing being repeated in my head. For some apparent reason, I felt disappointed when he said that. Yes I did appreciate what else he said about me but part of me felt so... disappointed. I shook my head and smacked myself lightly. What am I doing. Get it out of your head. He will never see you in that way. Caroline is gorgeous, she is perfect for him. Not you. Get it out of your head, you have George. You will not fall in love with Harry.
