by RiCkId

Ricki Lunsford goes to a 1D concert and meets the boys. But one of the boys takes a liking to her and wants to get to know her. Which boy likes her? Well you'll just have to read and find out. ;

3. Chapter 3

"Harry! Who's your new girl!" it seems like all of them are screaming that one question. Harry leans down to whisper in my ear "This is a little weird but what's your last name?" "Lunsford" I whisper back to him. "Her name is Ricki Lunsford." He says loudly but doesn't say anything about me not being his girlfriend. The body guards push us towards a van. Paul gets in the drivers seat with a body guard in the passenger seat. Then in the three middle seats is me, Harry, and Louis, and in the back is Zayn, Niall, and Liam. "Hey Zayn can you switch places with me for a minute? I have to ask Niall a question." I say looking at him. He nods and takes my place next to Harry while I sit beside Niall. "What's up?" Niall asks me. "Well I need some advice for my friend, and you seem like the type of big brother/best friend person to ask." I explain to him. "Okay." he says. "Well my friend you see he likes this guy a lot, and has for almost two years. But he doesn't know how to tell the guy he likes him as more than a friend. He's afraid that it'll ruin their friendship forever." I explain trying to tell him the problem but not say to much about who. Niall thinks about it for a minute or two. "Well I would..." Lou starts to butt in but I kick his seat. "What?" he asks but I ignore him and turn back to Niall. "Well he should just tell him how he feels. Even if the other guy doesn't return the feelings if he's a good friend it won't mess up their friendship. Plus he never knows the guy might love him too." he says then smiles at me. "Thanks Niall next time I call Alex I'll tell him that." I thank him and me and Zayn switch spots again. "So what are you boys doing after today?" I ask them. "Well we have to go to New York for some interviews then we're actually headed home for a little vacation before we go to Sweden to work on the next album and then we start our world tour." Harry tells me smiling. "So today is your last day in Texas for a while." I say frowning a little bit. "Yeah but hey we'll still keep in touch my phone and stuff." Liam said reaching up to pat me on the shoulder. "Yeah it's just gonna be weird because even though I just met ya'll it feels like I've known you all for years." I say looking down at my lap. "We're here." Paul announces as we pull into the packed parking lot. To no surprise it is packed with fans waiting for the boys. We pill out once one of the body guards open the door. This time Harry holds one of my hands, while Lou holds his other, and Zayn holds my other hand, then Niall holds Zayns and Liam holds Niall's. So I'm basically in the middle of the five of them. The day goes by fast. I won one out of ten races. Niall won one because Zayn let him. Then Harry won four. Louis won two and Liam won two. When we finish racing we see that the go cart place has a little food thing so we get something to eat. While we're eating my phone rings. I pull it out and answer since it's my mom. "Mom?" I ask her. "Guess what." She says excitedly. "What?" I ask her. "WE'RE MOVING TO LONDON!" she screams into the phone. I jump out of my seat and jump up and down screaming "NO WAY! REALLY?" "Really." she says laughing at my excitement. "Hey what's so exciting?" Niall. "Mom I have to tell the guys I'll call you back when we leave." I say and hang up once she says bye. I turn to Niall and yell "I'm moving to LONDON!" and then hug him. "This is gonna be so awesome I've always wanted to live in London." I say once I pull back. "Hey Ricki." Harry says smiling. "Yeah?" I ask him smiling happily. "Aren't you forgetting something?" He asks. I turn my head to the side confusion written all over my face. "We live in London." he tells me in a duh voice. I tackle him in a hug "OH MY GOD! I forgot that for a moment. This just go twelve billion times better." I say still hugging him. Then all of the boys walk up and Lou yells "Group hug." I laugh at him and wait for them to let go. "Where in London cause we live in XXXXXXXX" Harry asks me. "I don't know let me call my mom." I say then realize I can't move. "Hey guys as much as I'm loving the whole group hug thing, I can't move." I tell them and they all let go and step back. I pull my phone out and call my mom. "Hey mom do you know where in London?" I ask her. "We're moving to XXXXXXXXX" she says and I scream again. "That's we're the boys live." I say excited. "That's cool." She says. The boys decide to have another group hug at that time. "Mom I'll have to call you back Niall and Lou decided now is a good time for another group hug. Bye" I tell her. "Bye sweetie."

"Really guys I was talking to my mom." I say faking annoyance. "Maybe your mom will let you go with us. I mean you can stay with Harry and his mum in Cheshire until she gets there." Lou says smiling. I look at Harry to make sure it's alright. He nods and says "Yeah my mum would be fine with it." "I'll have to talk to her later today. But how would we get some of my clothes?" I ask him. "Well our first interview isn't until early tomorrow morning. So we can go ahead and fly to New York while your mum, you and Harry drive down to Killeen and than fly from there to New York after you get your stuff." Lou explains proud that he came up with the idea. "Okay but we need to head back to the hotel now so I can talk to my mom about it." I say standing up. Getting back to the car and then out and into the hotel was just as hard as when we left. When we get up to the room my mom is waiting for us. "Mom I have a question." I say sitting down beside her. "What is it?" she asks me smiling like she already knew. "Well Lou had an awesome idea. Maybe I could go to New York with them then fly home with them. Harry said I could stay with him and his mom because they'll be on break and he'll be home in Cheshire." I explain to her. "How are you going to get your clothes and things?" she asks but she's still smiling. "Lou has already thought of that too. He said that him, Liam, Niall, and Zayn can fly to New York from here and me, you, Harry can drive back to Killeen then fly from there to New York." I explain looking at her with pleading eyes. "Well I don't see why not. I'll be there within the next two months, but Harry you need to call your mother and make sure it's okay with her first." she tells us. "Yes mam." Harry says and goes into the next room to call Anne. "Group Hug!" Lou yells again for the third time and the four boys give me a big hug which was kind of hard considering I was sitting on the couch. So they basically ended up sitting on me. "Lou has an obsession with group hugs. That's like the third one within the hour." I tell my mom when they get off which causes her to laugh. "Zayn come here I need to talk to you." I say motioning for Zayn to sit beside me. "Have you decided what you're going to do?" I ask him in a whisper so the others can't here. "I want to tell him but I want to wait till we get back to London and your close by just in case." he tells me quietly. "Okay. When you decide what day, just text or call me and I'll come over to Harry's and wait for you. Here give me your phone." I tell him he hands his phone over and I program my number into it while he does the same with my phone. "Thanks Ricki." he says then goes to sit beside Liam. Harry comes back into the room and says "My mom said she's fine with it. She's actually seen the pictures on twitter and can't wait to meet you." "What picture?" my mom asks confused. Zayn shows her the picture and she says "Awe that's so cute." "Yeah, Yeah well shouldn't we be headed back to Killeen if we want to make it to New York so Harry can get some sleep before the interview." I say standing up. "Yeah and our flight leaves in an hour." Paul says to us. "Now ya'lls car is parked around back. Harry try not to be seen getting out at Ricki's house. Be careful we can't send a body guard with you because that's really obvious. So just don't be seen and ecspecially not at the airport." He tells Harry sounding like an overprotective father. "I will Paul I promise." Harry tells him then grabs a hoody and sunglasses. "Alright we'll see you boys in a few hours." I say hugging each of the boys and waiting for Harry to hug them before following my mom to the car. Thankfully none of the fans thought about the back door so we got to the car without being noticed. I sit in the back with Harry while my mom drives. "God I'm tired." I say yawning. "You know Lou tells me my shoulder is really comfortable to sleep on" Harry says patting his shoulder. "What ever" I say but lay my head on his shoulder any ways. Within minutes my eyelids start dropping closed. The last thing I remember is feeling Harry play with the tips of my hair.

*Three Hours Later*

I wake up to Harry shaking my shoulder. "Ricki come on we have to go inside." he tells me. I look around and notice nobody is around the house. Good that means they don't know where I live yet. I get and out and pull Harry into the house. "Ricki I think it's best if you just pack a suitcase and then a duffle bag, and I'll give you some money in case you want to go shopping and in case of emergency." My mom tells me from the kitchen table where she's going through our safe. "Okay come on Harry you can help me pack." I say pulling him up the stairs to my bed room. "Just sit on the bed while I get the bags" I tell him. He sits on the bed and watches me pull out my duffle bag and suitcase. "So what do you want me to do?" he asks me. "Well in my closet there's a bunch of shoes. It would be a lot of help if you could grab my blue TOMS, grey and purple supras, black high top converse, blue low top converse, and just put them in the duffle bag." I tell him. "That's a lot of shoes" He says walking to my closet. "Yeah and I still have some more pairs I need to get from under my bed but I'll get them. But what can I say most girls have an obsession with clothes I have an obsession with TOMS, Supras, and converse" I say going to my dresser and taking out the clothes I want to take and packing my suit case. After Harry grabs my shoes and puts them in the duffle he sits back on the bed. I reach under my bed and grab my sandals and put them in my suit case. Then I grab some of my other clothes and finish packing the suitcase. I zip it up when I'm done and sit it on the ground surprisingly it's not that heavy. I pull my other bag closer to me on the bed then bend down to look under my bed. I grab my black TOMS, my favorite boots, and another pair of High Tops. I stand back up and dump them in the bag and then walk to my dresser. I grab my messenger bag and throw it onto the bed. I reach into my jewelry box and grab some bracelets and throw them in my duffle bag. I then put on my favorite necklace and then grab my laptop off of my desk and put it in the messenger bag , along with the charger and my phone charger. "Okay one more thing." I say and walk to my closet. I pull down a box and walk back to the bed. I pull out five of my favorite beanies and throw them in the duffle bag. "Okay done." I say smiling at him. "So are you excited to be going to London?" he asks as we take my three bags down stairs. "Yes I've always dreamed of moving to London when I was younger." I tell him as we reach the bottom of the stairs "Lets leave the bags here and go find my mom." We sit the bags down and walk into the kitchen where my mom was earlier. She still sitting at the table looking at something. "Hey mom I'm done packing and we're ready to leave when you are." I tell her walking over to sit down with Harry right behind me. "Okay here's the money. It's a little over 3,000 dollars. I trust you not to blow it." she says handing me an envelope. "I promise I'll be careful with it." I tell her slipping it into my messenger bag than is still hanging on my shoulder. *ding* Harry's phone rings and he answers it "Hello." The person on the other end talks for a minute before Harry says "Okay bye" and Hangs up. "That was Paul he said our flight leaves in 45 minutes." he tells us putting his phone in his pocket. "Okay lets go. Can you two handle the bags?" My mom asks standing up. "Yes mam" I say grabbing my duffel bag while Harry grabs my suitcase even though I told him I could get it. We drive to the airport which is 10 minutes away. Before we get out Harry pulls on the hoody and puts the sunglasses on. 30 minutes later we're on the plane waiting for it to take off. Saying goodbye to my mom wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and see didn't cry. It takes two hours to fly from Killeen airport to New York so me and Harry talk get to know just about everything about each other. Harry had texted the boys right before we got on the plane and told them we were boarding that we'd be there within the next three hours. So when the plane finally lands and we get off we see the boys waiting with Paul and another body guard. "You guys should've stayed at the hotel. You all need to get a lot of sleep tonight." I tell them. "Come on Ricki we already have a Daddy Direction we don't need a mom too" Niall says coming over and taking my bag from me, and slinging his arm over my shoulder. "Fine I'll be more of the older sister figure, even though I'm younger than all of you." I say shrugging his arm off. "And before you ask I just turned seventeen" I tell them. "Really when?" Louis asks me as we walk back out of the airport. "Day before yesterday." I tell them as me Niall and Harry. "Well Happy late birthday." Lou says hugging me before he gets into the backseat. "Happy late Birthday." everybody tells me once we all pile into the car. "You know I figured there would be fans here." I say more to myself but Zayn answers me anyways. "We stuck out the back nobody even knows we left the hotel." he says smiling like they completed mission impossible. "Oh ok so who am I bunking with?" I ask them from my seat between Harry and Zayn. "Well Me and Harry are sharing a room. Liam and Niall. Then Paul has his own room, and Zayn's by himself. So I guess just pick. If you want to pick one of the rooms that already has two one of us boys will sleep on the couch or floor." Lou tells me from the front seat. "That's fine I'll stay in Zayn's room." I tell him not wanting one of them to sleep on the floor. "So how did your mom take the saying goodbye?" Niall asks me. "She was actually really mellow about it. She didn't get upset at all. But she's use to saying goodbye to children who are like her kids. I mean she practically raised all of my cousins" I explain laying my head on Harry's shoulder cause I'm sleepy. Zayn pokes me in the ribs "You can't go to sleep yet we're almost to the hotel." "Watch yourself boy. Mess with me and you'll wake up with pink hair." I threaten in a sleepy voice but smile so he knows I'm just messing with him. "Whatever" he huffs and crosses his arms pouting. "So how many interviews do you have?" I ask Liam who's been quiet the whole time. "Um, we have three tomorrow, and that's it. Our flight leaves day after tomorrow at five in the morning. We're flying to London and staying at our own Flats for a little bit before flying home. Then after about two or three weeks we're flying back to London to just hang out and just relax." he says going through the entire vacation. "Okay. Who's flat am I staying at?" I ask him. "Harry and Lou's since you're going home with Harry anyways." He tells me." I still can't believe ya'll choose me to become friends with. I mean you've only known me for maybe three days and I'm already traveling with you. Heck before this time next week I'll be meeting Harry's mom." I say truly amazed at how much has happened in the last few days. "We couldn't let you get away that easy Ricki." Lou says winking at me and poking my cheek giggling. I shake my head and ask "Are you sure that you're the oldest?" "Hey!" he exclaims and sticks his tongue out at me. "My point exactly" I tell him smiling when he pretends to pout. "Alright we're back. We'll get Ricki's bags you six just try not to get abducted, lost, or hurt." Paul says putting the car in park and turning it off. We get to the door quickly because we're in the back of the hotel because nobody knows the boys left in the first place. When we get to our floor the two body guards that grabbed my bags dropped them off in Zayn's room while we, well me and the boys, all went to Harry and Lou's room while Paul went to his room. "Remember you have to be up bright and early tomorrow so you better be going to bed soon." he told the boys before he left. Once in Harry and Lou's room I fall back onto one of the beds. "Ricki I hate to break this to you but you have to be up bright and early tomorrow too." Niall says falling back onto the bed beside me. "Why?" I ask sounding like a little kid. "Because you have to go with us. Because One there's no telling what a fan would come up with if we left you here in one of our rooms and they somehow got in. Two we might as well let them know that your traveling with us it'll be a whole lot easier than trying to hide you." Liam explains from the floor where he's sitting. "Fine then I'm going to bed now. I'm not a very good morning person if I don't get any sleep." I grumble and trudge to Zayns room leaving the five boys still sitting there. I open the door and see Zayn's bags on one side beside one bed and mine beside the other bed so I assume that's my bed. I dig through my bag and pull out some night pants and an old t-shirt that I sleep in and my tooth brush. I go to the bathroom, change, and brush my teeth. Then put my stuff back in my bag and crawl into the bed. I'm asleep before my head hits the pillow.

*Several Hours Later*

I wake up to Zayn walking around the room. "What are you doing?" I ask him sitting up rubbing my eyes. "Finishing getting ready. You'd better get up we have to leave in an hour." he tells me putting his shoes on. "Okay I'm gonna go take a shower." I tell him then grab my clothes and other stuff and head to the bathroom. I take a quick shower, blow dry my hair, and get dressed. It takes about 15 minutes for me to get done and when I walk back out into the main bedroom Zayn isn't there, so i assume he went over to one of the other boys rooms. I sit down on my bed and put on a new pair of socks and slip on my low top white converse. So I'm wearing a regular pair of blue jeans not skinny jeans, a simple long sleeved white button up shirt that has a little tie in the front at my waist and the sleeves are rolled up to my elbows, and my converse. Oh and my favorite necklace. I leave my hair down and grab my phone before I walk out of the door and down the hall to Niall and Liam's room. I knock and wait for them to tell me to come in. "Come in" I hear Niall yell so I open the door and walk inside the room. Niall is sitting on the bed putting on his shoes, and Liam is no where to be found. "Where's Liam?" I ask him sitting down beside him. "He went to Harry and Lou's room." he tells me standing up. "Are you done getting ready?" I ask him and he nods so I stand up and follow him out of the room and down the hall a little bit. "So what do you think the interviewers are going to ask you guys?" I ask him as we walk. Shrugging he tells me "I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure it'll be focused on you and Harry." "You don't think they'll ask me to come out and answer any questions do you?" I ask him sounding nervous. "Well since they'll know that you're there. Yes they will. But unless Paul or Harry tell you to say something different just stick with the truth. We met you at the gas station and we all became really close friends, nothing more nothing less." he explains as we come to a stop in front of

Harry and Lou's room. "Okay." We walk in and see all of the boys dressed and ready to leave. "So Ricki are you ready for your first live interview?" Lou asks me from his spot on the bed beside Liam. "As ready as I'll ever be." I tell him sitting down beside Harry on the other bed. "Don't worry you'll be fine." Zayn reassures me. I smile at him but don't say anything because Paul walks in. "Alright boys and Ricki it's time to leave your first interview is with Robin Roberts on GMA." he tells us as we follow him out of the hotel room and to the lobby. When we get to the front doors it's worse than in Dallas, there's at least two thousand people. I stay quiet the entire ride to the studio or whatever it is called. Right before we get out of the car Harry asks me "Are you okay? You know if you don't want to do this we can tell them your not feeling well." "No I'm fine it's just a lot to take in." I tell him and get out of the car behind Niall with Harry right behind me. Everybody is chanting the boys names and the ones who aren't chanting their names are staring at me and Harry. We slowly make our way to the doors, but it takes like 10 minutes to get there. When we get inside we can here Robin say "and here at 8:16 we have none other than the worlds biggest boy band One Direction. And I hear they have Ricki with them today. For those of you viewers who do not know who Ricki is she was seen with Harry Styles at a walmart in Dallas early yesterday morning holding hands. I believe we have a picture." She says and I guess the picture pops up on a screen cause the other anchors and stuff start commenting on it. I tune them out as they start talking about other things . "Ricki come on it's time." Harry says pulling on my arm. He leads me to the edge of what looks like a little room with couches and chairs. "Stay right here." Paul tells me as the boys go and sit down on one long couch while Robin sits down on another couch. She turns to the camera and says "Here we have One Direction." she then turns back to the boys and ask "How are you boys today?" "We're great." Liam says smiling at her. "Well that's good. So everybody wants to know about Ricki. Is she here?" she asks jumping right into the questions about me. "Yes she's right over there" Zayn says pointing me out to Robin. Robin smiles over at me and turns to Harry. "How did you meet Ricki?" she asks him. "We were at a gas station before our concert in Dallas and she was behind us in line. The cashier wanted a picture and an autograph. But when we went to stand to take the picture she told Niall in a very rude way that she didn't want him in the picture. Then she asked Ricki to take the picture. Ricki told her no and walked over to Niall and started talking to him. She left with her mum before we talked to her but Niall told us about her and how nice she was and how she made him feel better about the girl telling him she didn't want him in the picture. The rest of us meet her that night at the concert." Harry explains to her. "So is she anything more than a friend to any of you boys?" she asks them. "To me, Niall, Zayn, and Liam, no. But Harry has a little crush on her." Lou says and in return Harry pinches his leg. "Awe that's sweet." Robin says. "Why is she her with you in New York if she lives in Killeen?" Robin asks them tilting her head to the side. "Her mum got a new job in London and we offered for Ricki to go ahead and go with us since we're heading back to the UK tomorrow. So she's going to be staying with Harry's mum in Cheshire until her mum comes over with all of their stuff in a month or two." Lou explains to her. "Oh ok well we don't have much time left so why don't we get into talking about ya'lls new album." she says and I tune them out as they talk about they're new album. I'm pulled from my thoughts by Paul touching my shoulder and telling me "Hey Ricki we're leaving." I nod and follow him and the boys back out to the car. "I'm just going to stay in the car for the next two interviews" I tell the boys as we drive to the next interview. "Okay do you want somebody to stay in the car with you?" Paul asks from the drivers seat. "No I'll be fine." I tell him and relax into the seat beside Zayn. When they get out at the next interview I take my phone out and open my twitter. My mentions are still being flooded with all kind of tweets. I scroll through them and see hate tweets, the I don't like you but if he's happy I don't care tweets, and then the Awe you two are so cute together tweets. I open up a new tweet and go to type but can't think of anything that wouldn't just anger more people so I close out of everything and stuff my phone back into my pocket. I lean my head against the window and close my eyes. About 45 minutes later the boys are piling back into the car..

*an hour later*

Before I know it we're all back in the hotel room sitting in Lou and Harry's room. "So what time are we leaving tomorrow?" I ask Liam from the bed where I'm laying. "Five tomorrow morning. But we're leaving here at four thirty." he tells me from the couch, then focuses back on the TV. "GOSH! That's so long from now." I complain even though I know I sound like I'm two. "Chill Ricki. Why don't we go do something?" Niall asks coming out of the bathroom and plopping down literally right on top of me. "Niall get your fat butt off of me." I huff out of breath. He laughs and rolls off to where he's laying beside me. "Like what?" Zayn asks him throwing a wad of paper and hitting him in the forehead. "I don't know, maybe we could just go look around and basically go sight seeing. Have you ever been to New York Ricki?" He asks turning his head to look at me. "Nope. I've never been above Arkansas." I tell him and he jumps up. "Well there you have it we should take Ricki sight seeing and shopping." he says to the other boys. "Fine we'll do that." Liam says standing up and turning the TV off. "Well I have to go get something from my bag real quick" I tell him and run to mine and Zayns room. I open my messenger bag and pull out the envelope my mom gave me. I pull out five twenty dollar bills and put them into my front pocket. When I open the door again the boys and Paul are standing in the hallway. "Alright I'm ready if you guys are." I tell them closing the door behind me and moving to stand beside Zayn. As we all start walking I pull Zayn back a little so we are walking a little behind the other boys. "Have you figured out how you're going to tell him?" I ask him in a whisper. "No. I need some help." he says sounding nervous. "Okay we'll talk when we get back so the boys don't hear." I tell him then walk faster to where I'm walking beside Harry and Lou. "What were you two talking about?" Lou asks me. Shrugging I say "Nothing just talking." "So do you have a little crush on our Zayn now?" he asks throwing his arm around my shoulders. I shake my head and whisper to him where Harry can't hear "Really Lou? You know I like Harry." "Yeah I know I'm just teasing." he tells me laughing and then literally skips to Paul and starts talking to him. "Are you guys sure he's the oldest?" I ask Harry smiling at the back of the Doncaster boys head. "Yeah in age he's the oldest but maturity is a totally different thing. Well unless he needs to be mature." Harry says chuckeling and rests his arm across my shoulders as we walk. I smile at him and look over my shoulder at Niall and Zayn talking, and then at Liam who's walking silently. "Hey Liam what's wrong?" I ask him noticing the slight frown on his face. "Nothing just missing Dani." He tells me. "Are you gonna be spending your vacation with her?" I question him. "Some not all of it." he says smiling a little bit. "I can't wait to meet her. The same with Eleanor, Lou!" I tell him and raise my voice a little at the end so Louis can hear me. "Okay you'll probably meet her as soon as we land tomorrow." Lou yells back. "Cool." I say and turn back to Harry. "And I most definitely can not wait to meet Anne. I really hope one day I get to meet all of your parents." I tell Harry. "I'm sure you'll meet them all eventually." he tells me.

*7 o'clock that night*

I collapse back on my bed once me and Zayn get back to our room. "God I don't think I've ever walked so much in my entire life." I complain, but sit back up and turn to Zayn who's sitting on his bed. "So you still want help on how to tell Niall your in love with him?" I ask him. He nods looking at his lap. I move over to his bed and sit beside him. "Well first I think you should wait until we get back to London, like you said. But wait until after you come back from visiting your family. That way you don't have to tell him and then leave him for two to three weeks." I tell him. He nods showing that he understands. "Then you just call him one day while your at home and tell him that you need to talk to him that it's really important. When he gets there just sit down with him and tell him from the begging." I explain. He looks up at me and tilts his head in confusion. "Tell him when you first knew you had feelings for him." I explain further. "Okay but I'm scared. What if he freaks?" He asks sounding like a frightened kid. I pull him into a hug and say "He won't. He's your best friend. If it'll make you feel better I'll come sit with you before you call him and wait with you till he gets there." "Really?" he asks me pulling back. "Really and when I leave I'll just be at Harry's. Just a phone call away." I tell him smiling at him. "Just remember sweetheart if you tell him you'll be able to be completely happy." I tell him hugging him and then slipping back into my bed under the covers. "Now get some sleep we have to get up early." I tell him turning the bedside light off and closing my eyes. I wake up to Niall shaking me awake,"Niall I swear to Buddha if you wake me up by bouncing on me every morning me and you will have problems." I yell at him. "Yeah, yeah just get up and get dressed." He says then bounces out of the room. I stand up and change into my favorite pair of blue jeans, a half sleeved white shirt with grey sleeves, my grey and purple supras. I go into the bathroom and brush my teeth and hair then go back into the room and pull on a plain black beanie. I make sure everything of mine is packed and go to see if the boys are ready. I find them all in Niall and Liam's room sitting on the beds. "I'm ready when ever you guys are." I tell them and fall down on the bed on top of Niall. "Dang Ricki what's that for?" he asks huffing cause I knocked his breath out. "It's for bouncing on me to wake me up and any future idiotic moves you're going to try." I explain and roll to the side so I'm laying between him and Harry who's sitting cross legged. "Alright kids lets go." Paul says coming through the door. "Okay let me go get..." I start to say but Paul cuts me off. "People already got your suitcase and duffle. Here's you messenger bag with you phone and charger in it." He tells me handing me my bag. "Um, thanks I guess." I say slipping the bag over my shoulder. I take my phone out and text my mom so she'll see the text when se gets up. I text her "Hey mom I'm fine don't worry. Sorry I haven't texted yet but we're about to get on the plane to go to London, then me and Harry are going to drive to Cheshire to stay with his mom. I'll text you hen we get to Cheshire" After I send the text I turn my phone off and stuff it into my bag. We walk outside through the crowd of screaming fans and get into the same van that we rode to the interviews in. "I'm so tired." me and Niall complain at the same time from our seats beside each other. "You two can go back to sleep when we get on the plane." Liam tells us. I sigh and lean my head against Niall's shoulder. "You know your shoulder isn't a bad pillow" I tell him then yawn. "Thanks...I think." he says sounding half asleep. When we pull up to the airport I don't feel like walking so I do the first thing that comes to my mind. "Harrrry." I say dragging out the r when we step out of the van. "What?" he asks me. "Can I get a piggy back ride I don't want to walk?" I ask him pouting. "Sure" he tells me turning around and bending his knees slightly. "Yay." I say and hop on his back. He places his hands behind my knees to help keep me up while I wrap my arms around his neck. I lay my head on his shoulder and close my eyes. "HEY! No fair. I want a piggy back ride!" Lou exclaims. I open my eyes just in time to see him run and jump on Zayn's back. "Damn Lou" Zayn grunts surprised but he manages to stay standing. "Alright can we get going now or do you want a piggy back ride Niall." Liam asks pointing to Paul who's motioning for us to hurry up. "Nah I'm fine" Niall says and walks beside me and Harry as we make our way into the airport. I lay my head back on Harry's shoulder and close my eyes since I already gave Paul my passport. "Harry?" I ask him as he walks. "Yeah?" he asks me back. "Did you really strip on a plane before?" I ask him, I feel him chuckle then he says "Yep and You have to get off now cause we have to go through security" I slip off his back and onto my own feet.

*On the Plane*

When we get on the plane I choose to sit beside Niall who was sitting beside Zayn and since it was four seats to a row I was also sitting beside Liam. In front of us was Harry, Louis, Paul and a woman. I recognize her but I can't put a name to her face. I'm guessing she took a different car or something because this is the first time I've seen her. After the plane takes off and the pilot tells us we can move around she turns around in her seat and Liam introduces us "Lou this is Ricki, Ricki this is Lou." I then I realize she's Lou Teasdale the boys make up artist and Baby Lux's mom. "Hi it's nice to meet you" I tell her and shake her hand. "It's nice to meet you too Ricki" She says smiling at me. "Forgive me if I sound a little creepy. But Lux is like the cutest baby ever." I tell her thinking about a picture I saw of Zayn helping Baby Lux walk through an airport. "Thank you and it's not creepy people tell me that all the time." she says laughing. "Okay." I tell her still smiling. "Who knows maybe one day you'll meet Lux too." Harry says all of the sudden in the conversation. "Definitely as soon as you two get back from Cheshire I would love for you to bring her over and let Lux meet her Harry." Lou tells him and the adds "And don't forget." "I won't promise." he says a small smile planted on his face. "Well I'm going to try to go back to sleep. Liam will you wake me before we land?" I tell them and ask Liam. "Sure Ricki." he tells me so I lay my head on Niall's shoulder and realize that he already fell asleep with his head on Zayn's shoulder. I smile once more before I feel my eyelids slide shut and sleep overwhelms me. "Ricki. Hey Ricki. RICKI!" I feel somebody shaking my shoulder. When they yell I jump up onto my feet and ask "WHAT!" then I realize it's Liam and that the pilot is currently telling everybody that we're about to land in London. All the passengers in the surrounding seats are looking at us like we've gone crazy. "Sorry" I apologize not only to Liam but to the people who had a baby asleep on the aisle over. The boys just laugh at me so I stick my tongue out at him like the mature 17 year old I am. When the plane lands we wait for everybody else to get off first then me, the boys, Paul, and Lou get our carry on's and the make our way to baggage claim. Surprisingly we make it through the airport without being mobbed. When we get to the doors we stop and everybody says bye to Lou since her husband is picking her up. When she gets to me she hugs me and says "I can't wait for ya'll to come back I think it'll be absolutely amazing for Lux to have you around while she grows up." I hug her back and smile at her and wave as she walks out of the doors. "EL!" I hear Lou exclaim and I turn to see him spinning a girl in a circle. I take a deep breathe and let it out. Time to meet Eleanor I think to my self...

Authors Note: Before anybody says anything I know I left Sandy out in the second chapter when Ricki was meeting the boy's band. Sorry I honestly thought I had changed it and put him in there. I hate when I make mistakes like that but I promise I'll reread the up coming chapters more carefully so there won't be as many mistakes. But there still might be some because I usually write anywhere from midnight to three in the morning. Also if I get any facts wrong please don't hesitate to review or message me and tell me so I can change it or so I know for future reference. Also a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who's reading my story. It means ALOT to me. Love you ~RiCkId~
