Diana's P.O.V. (Recap of 3-4)
I was in a car on its way to where Niall and his mates were. The driver, Prescott, was tapping my shoulder, "I called the rest of the security team. We're going to meet the bus. We're almost to the meeting point."
I nodded silently.
He gave me a knowing look, "Nervous?"
I sat up a little straighter, "Yeah."
We were in what looked like the middle of nowhere. I was about to meet the best friends of the bay who'd saved my life. Prescott turned onto a back road. My eyes widened. Maybe he was a murderer.
He saw me and laughed. "The lads can't just pull over on the highway! We had to get them lost to be safe."
I raised my eyebrows. "Lost?"
"Well not lost, lost, but lost from fans and the paparazzi. They had to go on a bunch of one lane roads and tunnels to get this lost from everyone. It's hard to hide four buses!"
Wait, did he just say there were four buses? "Four?" Why on earth would they need four?
"Yes," He responded like it was obvious, "Four. One for them, one for the security team, one for the crew, and one for all the other people involved in putting a show together seamlessly! Anyway, they’re probably sleeping now so you’d better be quiet when we get there.”
"Sleeping?" I asked, "What time is it?"
He turned onto a dirt road and pointed to the dashboard clock. '5:43'
"You've been driving all night!" When I'd said "no" to a hotel I hadn't been thinking about that.
"It's alright," He assured.
In the distance, I saw a few lights.
"That's probably the buses," He informed me.
My stomach felt full of butterflies. We pulled alongside two buses. Inside one of them was Niall! I couldn't sit still as he put the car in park. I jumped out and was confronted by a security guard.
"It's OK, Kara," Prescott told her, "She's with me."
Kara smiled, "Oh sorry. I didn't see you, Pres." She turned to me, "I'm Kara. You must be that girl Niall is obsessed with. He won't shut up about you!" She laughed.
I blushed.
"The lads are asleep right now," Kara informed me. "We got your call that you were coming early after they turned in for the night. We didn't want to wake them up just to tell them that. But now that you're here we can if you want to...?"
I hesitated. I did want to see Niall ASAP, but he was probably tired after their concert. And once he was up I knew I'd never fall asleep. "I can wait until morning." I decided.
"Alright," She sounded grateful. "Do you want to stay on the staff bus? Or there's an extra bunk on the lads' bus."
"The lads' bus!!" It seemed obvious to me. Of course, I wanted to stay with Niall. Kara and Prescott seemed nice but I didn't trust them like Niall. She guided me to their bus and gave me a short tour. Then she showed me my bed cubby. It was right under Niall's! I thanked Kara and slipped into my cubby. Literally slipped. One of the lads had left water (at least I hoped it was water) on the floor. I was glad Kara had left. I chuckled at myself and curled up in my blankets. I needed to get some sleep but I couldn't for a long time. The walls of my cubby were so close. I guessed I was claustrophobic. I had to open the curtain and focus on the small amount of open space between me and one of the other lad's cubby.
The next morning I heard an alarm going off. It didn't sound important though until someone dropped to the ground next to me. Hard. That someone groaned. I opened my eyes and rolled over to see Niall! He saw me and jumped back into one of the other lads who mumbled something, sounding annoyed. Oh, come on! My bedhead couldn't be that bad!
"You're here!" Niall sounded like a three-year-old on Christmas.
I was about to say something sarcastic like, "Thanks for telling me. I wasn't sure!" But instead, shyness took over and I mumbled, "Um... Yeah."
Niall asked me about when I'd gotten there and stuff until the person he was sitting on pushed him off. Niall's expression was priceless! He fell into another boy who was just getting out of bed, who almost fell but caught himself on a door handle. It opened and revealed another boy brushing his teeth. They all looked like deer in headlights! I started laughing and didn't stop until after Niall had joined me and his second alarm went off. Then they all had to get ready to go to an interview. While they got ready I poked around the bus trying to find something to eat. I glanced out the window and was shocked to find different surroundings!
"Niall, where are we?" I called to him.
He came running over with his shirt half on. "Whatsamatter?" He asked. I struggled to contain my giggles.
"Where are we?" I repeated.
He looked out the window blankly for a moment. "On earth... In the back parking lot of a stadium, I'd guess... I should probably know what city." He gave me a sheepish crooked smile.
"Well, you'd better find out before you go to that interview!" I laughed. The lad that Niall had been sitting on before came over.
"I'M LOUIS TOMLINSON!" He yelled. Niall burst out laughing. I didn't know what to say. "Oh, um, hi there," I got out. Louis laughed too. What there some kind of inside joke I wasn't in on?
Niall recovered enough to explain a bit, "Back when we were a brand new band he used to say that."
I still didn't see what was so funny.
Louis grabbed a bagel. "My girlfriend, Eleanor, is in the city right now. If you want I can see if she wants to go shopping with you or something," He said eying the outfit Niall had gotten for me when I was in the hospital.
"No, that's OK-" I started to protest.
But Louis cut me off, "You've got one outfit that you just slept in and now you’re gonna wear that all day? Ellie's probably bored anyway. I'll call her and ask!" He said like it was decided. He did have a good point.
"Well, okay," I said.
But he was already waiting for Eleanor to answer the phone.
"Hey, love! I've got a question." I could only hear Louis' end of the conversation. "Remember that girl I told you about that Niall likes?"
Wait. What? Niall likes me? I felt color rush to my cheeks. Louis looked like he'd said something he wasn't supposed to.
"...To talk to I mean! The girl he likes to talk to!" He covered up while turning pink. Niall was red as a tomato and intently staring at a spot on the wall.
Louis continued on the phone, "She's here and we have an interview. Do you two want to go shopping and hangout for the day?" He smiled at the response. "Great! We're at whatever stadium we're performing at tonight... Bye El! I love you!" He hung up and turned to me, "She'll be here in an hour! I've got to go get ready."
Niall still looked wholly embarrassed and mumbled something about needing to make sure Zayn was up. Then he wandered off toward the bunks. I wanted to say something to make him feel better. But I didn't really know how I felt about him. I liked him as a friend. Did I like him as a boyfriend though?
The lads all left to go to their interview. Just before they left, one of them came up to me and said his name was Harry. He handed me a book, "A fan gave me this. If you get bored you can read it." He gave me a cheeky smile and got in a van with the rest of them. That was nice, I thought. I read the book, Harry Potter until Eleanor got there. We went to loads of stores and both tried on a million outfits. She had the same sense of humor as Louis so we both laughed a lot. By 4 o'clock we'd met three fans who'd recognized Eleanor, one of whom recognized me which was beyond weird. It was super awkward when she asked for my autograph, and I had to explain that I didn't know my name. I also had six new outfits which I absolutely loved. Ellie dropped me off back the buses and told me to call her if I needed anything. I thanked her and entered one of the buses to read my book.
About an hour later Niall came in to invite me to their concert. I, of course, accepted. Then Niall had the brilliant idea to let the fans name me! I was really nervous and excited for that night.
