Liz's P.O.V
I wiped the tears from my eyes and let go of Kacey, who was also a crying mess. I reached for my mother and hugged her tight. I'm really sad that I have to leave so soon. I wish I could stay longer and spend more time with them, but I can't. I pulled away from my mother and she kissed my forehead. I kissed her cheek once before telling that I loved her.
I let go of my mother and hugged Toby, who was trying to keep his tough side on. But just like when the girls and I left for the live shows, he was a mess. He hugged me tight and told me that he'd see me soon. We were never the type to kiss each other's cheeks or tell each other that we love them, so a hug was perfectly fine for us.
I pulled away from Toby and he wiped his tears. He ruffled my hair and despite my tears, I laughed and shoved him away. Next was my dad, and I knew he was a mess. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his went around my torso, practically lifting me off the ground. I cried harder when he sent me down. I just don't want to go.
"I'm going to miss you guys so much. I'll visit really soon. My birthday is coming up, I can fly out then. Or maybe I could fly you guys out to London. Oh but Kacey will be in school. I'll just visit soon." I said, wiping the reminder of my tears goodbye.
Before anyone could say anything, Niall came back over to us. He had to give the airport people our luggage so now all we have is the carry on back that we were sharing. My mother started crying a little more and hugged Niall, telling him to come visit really soon.
I smiled through my tears as each member of my family hugged Niall, telling him to visit soon or that they'd miss him. I'm really glad that they all liked Niall. I know that Niall was really happy too. I know how important this was to him.
"Last call for flight two thirty eight." A voice called from the intercom.
My heart sunk a little, that was our flight. I really need to go now. I gave my family another hug and told them that I loved them. I even said it to Toby, which shocked him a little bit. I wiped the tears and grabbed the carry on. I looked up just in time to see my father whisper something in Niall's ear. Niall blushed really hard and nodded. I wonder what that was about.
Niall walked back over to me and took the carry on, saying he'd carry it. I thanked him and took his free hand, then turned back to my family. I waved again and cried a little bit more. We turned away and walked towards the terminal. I wish we could've stayed longer. I wish we could have done more while I was there. Well, while Niall and I were there.
"I'm sorry Liz, baby. I wish we could've stayed longer." Niall said, almost reading my thoughts aloud. I laughed a little at that and I wiped some tears.
"It's fine." I said, even though it was. I don't want him worrying about me. "Besides, now we are off to Ireland to see your parents." I said, handing the flight attendant person our tickets.
"Yeah, I know. I'm so excited."

Caitlin's P.O.V
I sighed and sat down on my bed. I'm only halfway through this break and it's been so boring. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing my Dad and Nancy. Hell, I even liked seeing my mother for a little while. But it's been about a week and I've caught up with all my friends already. It's starting to get a little boring. Plus I miss Liz and Julie like crazy.
Julie and I have been texting a lot, but we both decided to leave Liz alone. As much as we love her, she's probably stressed out with the whole 'meeting each other's parents' thing. I know how stressful it can be, with wondering if you'll make a good impression or not. Liz did tell us that her parents loved him, along with a photo of them all sitting at a table in some fancy restaurant.
I think that today they are going to Ireland. I bet Liz is so sad about leaving her family. She won't even think about meeting his family until they land. Then she'll freak out about it and Niall will try and calm her down. I can see that happening now. I would bet money on that actually.
I broke away from my thoughts when I heard my phone ringing. I moved around on my bed and looked over at the nightstand near my bed. I smiled when I saw Marty's contact name. He's in London right now, working on their album. It's not much of a break to me, but they are excited about it. And by 'they' I mean the rest of the boys from One Step. I wonder how they're doing. Except Beck. He's an ass and I'll never forgive him for kissing Liz like that.
"Hey, listen I can't come over tonight. We are still working on the album and we're running a little late. Can we reschedule or something?" Marty asked.
I scrunched my eyebrows together and pulled the phone away from my ear, making sure it was Marty who called me. Yes I did hear his voice, but maybe it's just because I miss him so much. But sure enough it was Marty. I put the phone back to my ear and said,
"What?"
"Caitlin? Oh God, sorry... I was just talking to Josh. We were going to meet up after working on the album but I can't now." Marty said.
"Shouldn't he be there with you then?" I asked, clearly confused.
"No, not right now. He's not... uh... he's not feeling so well. We were going to cheer him up a little bit but we got stuck at work. Sorry baby, but I got to go. I'll see you soon." Marty said.
I was about to say something else but he hung up. I pulled my phone away from my ear and looked at it. My background was a picture of Marty and I. Normally I smile when seeing it, but not today.
What the hell was that about?
Julie's P.O.V
"I don't know, that doesn't seem like much of a good idea." I said into the phone.
I heard Harry laugh on the other end of the phone, making my stomach fill with butterflies. I still can't believe that I'm having feelings for him again. He broke my heart, yet at the same time he's been putting it back together.
We've been talking throughout this whole break and I can't say I hate it. With the girls not around me I feel so weird. It's weird not having them around because in all honesty, they are more like family to me then my own family. I mean, I spend every day with them. Hell, I spend every night with them most of the time. It's really weird not having them around me.
But talking to Harry helps me get through each and every day. It's nice talking to him. It feels like it used to. When Jay Cee El was on the Take Me Home tour, it wasn't as crazy as it is now. Sure we had fans, a lot of them actually. But now... it's like we've exploded. They are everywhere and it's hard to go out and shop around at times. Sometimes I wish I could go back and have a little bit more privacy, but I also love this more than anything. I'm not really sure which side wins. I like to think that the side of my love for this job and my music wins.
"Eh, you never know. I happen to like the idea of that. But anyway, how's your break going?" Harry asked, making my smile. He'd always ask me how I'm doing.
"It's fine, a little boring. I miss the girls a lot." I said, twirling the pen in my hand.
I was in the middle of writing down a song idea when he called. I obviously put the song aside, wanting to talk to him instead. Who wouldn't want to talk to Harry Styles? Not just Harry Styles, but one of my good friend and ex boyfriend. Wow, that sentence confused me. I've never been into staying friends with an ex. Well I guess I don't really want to be friends with Harry, I want more. But I can't because I know he doesn't want the same thing.
"Yeah I know, I miss the guys a lot too. I think Zayn's with Perrie in the states actually. They're probably planning their wedding or something. I still think I should be the best man, I mean I've got the best knock knock jokes. Hey, you wanna hear one?" Harry asked.
I rolled my eyes and laughed. Harry and it knock knock jokes. I swear they are the worst jokes in the world, but he loves them so in the end it's worth it. I told him yes, and he started the joke. It was something about a shoe, I think.
"Shoe who?" I asked.
"Wouldn't shoe like to know." Harry said, already laughing.
I rolled my eyes again, but couldn't keep myself from laughing. It wasn't that the joke itself was funny, it was the fact that Harry laughed at it so hard. I was about to tell him something sassy about his love for jokes, but Jake walked in and told me that we were going out to dinner with our cousins. I smiled and told him I'd be there in a minute. I haven't seen my cousins in years. I'm not even joking.
"I'm sorry Harry, but I need to go. I'm meeting up with my family. I'll talk to you soon, right?" I asked, dropping the pen and sitting up a little straighter.
"Of course, I'll call you tomorrow." Harry said.
I nodded, but then remembered he couldn't see me. After agreeing out loud that I'd talk to him tomorrow, I hung up the phone. I stood up and slid my phone into my back pocket. I looked up at Jake, who was still standing at my door.
"What?" I asked, looking at my older brother.
"You so love him." Jake said.
If only I could argue him on that.
