Dodging the paparazzi, we safely made it to the plane. I took a window seat and Niall took the seat next to me. Liam and Zayn took seats a few rows ahead of us. Louis and Harry were across the aisle and behind us.
"Let's play 20 Questions." I suggested. "You first."
"Urmm, okay. What was your first kiss like?" He asked, smirking.
"Well, when I was 14, I kissed Preston. Preston was this douche that played me, used me, and cheated on me. I hate him." I said sternly. Preston hurt me more than anyone could imagine. "What do you think about all this fame?"
"I love some parts and hate others. I love touring. Making music is something I could do forever. I love meeting fans. I miss the privacy though. You're already all over Twitter as being the "One Direction Whore." The fans say you've slept with all of us." he said. Great. I already had a reputation, and not a good one at that. "As long as we know that isn't true, we shouldn't let it bother us." He said, seeing my expression.
"They don't even know me. How can they label me like that?" I said glumly. Niall kissed my cheek sweetly.
"Love, we know it isn't true. You've gotten some positive fans though!" Niall said, showing me his phone.
@NatalieTollefasoin : Erin is so pretty! Niall is so lucky!
@Hopi_Fletcher : Erin, I love your hair! How did you do that?!
"Awww. That's so sweet!" I said smiling bigger. "I rarely get called pretty or complimented at that."
"Darling, you are beautiful. Everything about you. Your voice, your personality. Anyone in this world should be jealous." He said. I leaned into him, smiling. "Do you have a Twitter?" he asked.
"No, I didn't have a computer at home." I answered. He about screamed.
"I have to make you one! Oh my god! Louis, get over here!" He shouted across the plane. Louis made his way over and got the news. The look on his face, oh my god. He looked like I was the craziest person he's ever met. He took Niall's phone and went back to Harry. Harry looked up and gave me this face that made me die laughing.
"They're gonna make you one." Niall said smugly, but proudly. Oh god, I thought. This couldn't be good. Niall and I continued to play 20 Questions,which actually turned into 50 Questions. I found out that we both loved Justin Bieber, we both loved comedy movies, and we wanted to go to Paris, France. We did have alot in common. Niall and I were having a deep conversation about thin crust or deep dish pizza when Louis came back and calmly returned Niall his phone.
"Lemme see," I said, trying to take away Niall's phone.
"Hold on, one sec babe."
"Niall James! Gimmmmmeeee!" I said playfully. The man sitting behind us cleared his throat. Niall held in laughter to the point that we were crying. We finally calmed down and he finally handed me his phone so I could see my new Twitter page. I already had 306 followers. Now to find out what my name was...
"Niallsgirlfriendstwitterlovelouisandharry?!? Oh my god! I looked at Louis and Harry. They burst out laughing and Niall started blushing like crazy. I leaned back and looked at my tweets.
@NiallOfficial : @niallsgirlfriendstwitterlovelouisandharry, If I was your boyfriend, I would never let you go. Keep you on my arm girl, you'll never be alone. I could be a gentleman, anything you want.
I looked up to find Niall's blue eyes staring at me. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Niall asked, never leaving the gaze.
"Of course I will." I said. I felt his arm touch my cheek as he pulled me into our first kiss as boyfriend and girlfriend.
..........................................................................................................................................
"Wake up, lovebirds." Zayn said. "We're landing." Zayn walked up to Liam and whispered something that made Liam look over at us. Liam waved quickly and turned around.
"Good morning beautiful." Niall said, gazing into my hazel eyes and smiling.
"Hey." I said sleepily, but smiling. I was never really good at being romantic.
"Did you sleep well?" He asked.
"Mhm." I answered, smiling and cuddling into his shoulder.
"How's your head and wrist?" He asked again, tears rushing to his eyes.
"I'm fine, really. Niall, stop worring." I said seriously. I didn't want him to feel bad. It wasn't his fault and I hated to see him upset.
"It's my fault. I hurt you." He said, a tear falling down his cheek. He faced down.
"Niall, you did nothing."
"That's the problem. I did nothing." Another tear fell.
"That's a lie. You've made me the happiest girl alive. You took me to my old house. You gave me a house. You gave me a shoulder to cry on. You've done more than anyone." I replied, looking at him. I lifted up his head so he had to look at me. "I swear." I felt his soft lips press against mine. His arm want to my waist and I ran my hand through his hair.
......................................................................................................................................................
"Here it is. Our flat." Harry said. It was smaller than you expect. 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a large living room with a flat screen TV and 2 bathrooms.
"I'll show you our room." Niall said.
"Your room..?" Liam said, protectively. He so is Daddy Directioner.
"It's okay Liam. We'll be safe." I said winking. I laughed and so did Niall. Soon Liam understood that I was kidding and lightened up a bit.
"Have fun Niall!" Zayn said, smirking as Niall dragged me up the stairs. I wasn't fully awake yet.
"Here we are." Niall said in his cute accent. We went into a generally small room. There was one bed, a dresser that took up a whole wall, a few awards sitting on it. A walk in closet.
"Shit..." I muttered.
"What's wrong babygirl?" Niall said, questioningly. "You don't like it?"
"No, no, I love it. But I have no clothes.." I said, tears coming to my eyes.
"Here, go shower and you can change into these." He threw me a pair of Hollister sweatpants and a white polo. "Then, we'll go to the mall and I will buy you anything you want."
"I can't let you buy me a whole new wardrobe." I started.
"Oh, we'll buy you the whole mall!" Louis said, sticking his head in our room.
"Anything you want, Erin!" I heard Zayn say from down the hall. Soon the whole house was in our room.
"Erin, you'll get anything. Nothing but the best." Liam assured.
"Well, I guess I can't protest..." I started.
"NO, JIMMY PROTESTED!" Louis screamed. The whole room burst with laughter, remembering the old X-Factor Video Diaries.
"So it's settled. We'll go shopping then have a X-Factor movie show night." Harry said, running out of the room. The rest exited, leaving Niall and I.
"Thank you so much babe," I said, kissing Niall quickly before I ran out of the room to take a shower.
...........................................................................................................................................
Forever 21, Aeropostale, Hot Rags, Hot Topic, Spencers, Funky-Breeze, Deliah's. Any store, it was there. I went a bit crazy, but any girl would.
First was Spencers. I picked out a couple pairs of ripped jeans and some thick bracelets.
"What are you going to hide with those bracelets...?" Niall asked. I remembered the limo and the scars and the promise.
"Nothing, babe.."
"Erin." He said sternly.
"I'm just really insecure about my scars. I don't want the other boys worrying about me."
"Promise me, baby?" He asked.
"I promise." I said, kissing his cheek.
We went to Deliah's and Hollister. I bought a few shirts and 3 pairs of shoes. I was trying not too spend too much of the boys' money. I already felt bad enough living with them.
"Is there anything else you want from here? We will buy you as much as you need." Liam said.
"I'm sure. I'll be fine with clothes." I lied. I barely had enough for a week.
"We're getting you more. What's your shirt and pants size?" Harry asked, slinging an arm around my shoulder.
"I'm not telling. I'm fine." I stated. Louis snuck up behind me and stole my bag and found my sizes. They went off to do more shopping for me. Ughhhhh. I felt terrible already.
"It's really no problem." Zayn assured me.
Niall and I went to Hot Rags. Hot Rags has clothes, accessories, music, nearly anything. I looked at some color contacts, an Ed Sheeran CD, a small stereo, a hat or two, a necklace and a ring that said 'forever and always' on it. Of course, I didn't ask for anything but Niall bought it all for me.
"Babe, I didn't need these." I said when he carried out 3 bags full.
"Well, I wanted you to have something to remember our first date by." He said smiling. Then he kissed me, right then and there, in the middle of the mall, with fans everywhere. Cameras everywhere. I was sure living up to my "One Direction Whore" reputation. We were probably already all over Twitter. Zayn and Liam came bouncing up to us.
"Erin, we have something for you." Zayn said, grabbing my hand and dragging me away. We ran around the mall for a while until Liam came up behind me and covered my eyes. Niall took my hand and led me around a corner to a store.
"No peeking!" Liam yelled.
"Your hands are in my eye sockets. How the hell can I peek?!?" I replied. He just laughed. He led me into the store and uncovered my eyes. Niall, Louis and Harry were standing there with a new iPhone. The case was engraved with the words, "We love you Erin!" These boys knew me so well. I swear, Em gave them my whole life story. Em would know I'd feel bad staying with them.
"Erin, we love having you stay with us. You aren't a burden. We love you. We're here for you!" Zayn said, pulling me in for a hug. The rest of the boys joined in. We were having a huge group hug moment until a fan came and pulled Niall away. The group slowly dispursed when I saw the fan kissing Niall. I swear, I felt my heart break. She held his arms down and full on kissed him. For like, 5 seconds. My eyes filled with tears and I felt myself begin to shake. Louis held me up when Zayn went to go pull the fan off of Niall. The fan stopped kissing Niall, looked at me, flicked me off and ran off to a group of her friends.
