"And never, never, never stop for anyone. Tonight let's get some and live while were young." "Annie your phones ringing. Hello?" I open my eyes a little. "Louis give me my phone." "fine it's Ryan." "Hello?" "hey Annie." it's not Ryan my brother but Ryan my best friend from Arizona. " "Are you in England?" "No I'm on tour in Australia with One Direction." "oh." "why?" "I haven't seen you in a while and I uh-" "you do know I'm coming back for school in a month." "really?" "yeah." "oh and Happy late birthday." "Thanks. But why did you call me at three in the morning?" "oh well it's like ten at night in Arizona." "Annie we need to go." "I have to go Ryan." "bye love you." What? I hang up after this without saying goodbye. "Come on we have to get to the airport." "where are we going now?" "Spain." I try to avoid conversations with the boys but Louis is just trying to be nice. I finally notice that we are back in the hotel. I change into my own sweatpants and shirt and give Louis back his. "thanks." "your still sad." I don't know how to reply to that. So he just keeps talking. "You know Liam broke up with Danielle." I look up. "what?" "Yeah it just wasn't working for them. They were never together." "I see your not going to talk so I'm done trying to make you." He's mad. "I'm sorry." "You don't need to apologize. But let's get to the airport." I grab my bag and go to the living room where everyone else is sitting. "Hey." I say with a little wave. I try to act happy in front of them. Liam looks sad. "You ready?" "yeah where to next?" "Mulan." my jaw drops. "we have to go shopping there." "Niall you owe me ten bucks." Liam says. "what?" "I bet him that you would say we have to go shopping when we are in Mulan." he explains. "ah. How long is the flight?" "twenty hours." "ew." "I know but we got to get going to catch our flight." "then let's go." I'm in a way better mood than before. "Wait!" I yell stopping in the hallway leading to the elevator. "what?" Zayn asks stopping next to me. "Louis said we were going to Spain but you said Mulan." "Mulan is next to Spain. Don't you know that?" "I've never been food at geography." "I can tell." we walk into the elevator and go to our car to drive to the airport. "is anybody else hungry?" Niall and Harry raise their hand. "Can we eat something?" "no." "aw. But." "no." "fine." I say crossing my arms. Me and Harry, who's sitting right across from me, decide to play patty cake. He's pretty good. "Harry you messed it up!" "no you did!" "you did!" "did not!" "did too!" "did not!" "did too!" we went back and forth at each other until Liam announced we were at the airport. We grabbed our bags and were escorted to our gate. "how long is this flight?" "how would I know?" Niall says. "I don't know I was just asking." Our plane doesn't leave for another hour and a half. I decide to sleep a little before we get onto the cramped plane. I lay my head on Louis' chest and my arm around his waist. He sets his chin on the top of my head. I guess they think I can't hear them because they start talking about me. "I don't know what to do about it. It's not like we can just tell the whole world to stop." "how long will we be in Mulan?" "about three days." "When does she leave?" "in two weeks." "We have to take her shopping here. And don't let her go anywhere without at least one of us with her." "why?" "so she doesn't get hurt." "or lost." I do not get lost easily! Okay maybe I do. I don't know my left from right and I can't give directions based on street names. I go based on surroundings. "well she will get lost where ever she is." "that's true." "our planes boarding. Should we wake her?" "no just carry her Lou." "okay." Louis picks me up and carries me onto the plane. I sit in-between Louis and Niall. And Harry, Liam, and Zayn on the other side of the row. I wake up when the plane starts moving. "Sleep well?" Louis asks. "Yeah. What time is it?" "about seven in the morning." "thanks." "Wanna play twenty questions?" "sure. Go." "okay favorite animal?" "turtle or bunny. Favorite color?" "green. Favorite season?" "summer or winter. Favorite sport?" "soccer of course. Favorite person in One Direction?" "Really? Well I like you all for different reasons." "what are those reasons?" "Liam because he's my brother. Niall because he's my boyfriend. You because you always cheer me up. Harry because he always makes me laugh and Zayn because well I don't know why I like Zayn." "none of us do." "I heard my name." Zayn calls from across the aisle. "just playing twenty questions." I lie. "okay Lou what is your favorite thing that we did while I was here?" "surfing definitely. Okay I'm all out of questions." "same." just about then Niall wakes up from his nap. "hey beautiful." I say before he could open his mouth to say anything. "I was going to say that." "you can still say it." "yay! Hey beautiful." "happy now?" "indeed." "so how did you sleep?" "good." "have any dreams?" "well kinda. It was about you leaving tour to go back to Arizona." "aw don't worry you can come when tours over and watch me play softball." "yeah. I will. Me and the lads will come out. It will be perfect."
