Liz's P.O.V

My eyes opened as the bright sun pulled me from sleep. I blinked a few times before closing my eyes again to try and get more sleep. The familiar aroma of salt filled my senses and my eyes opened, widening as I jumped up, feeling the area around me. Blue was all I could see and I began to panic, thoughts of me being kidnapped filled my mind.

But when I saw the black suitcases sitting by the window, I stilled and stared at them. Maine. I was in Maine. I was home.

Memories of the last twenty four hours came back to me and I groaned, holding my head in my hands as sadness filled my body. I wanted to go back in time to when I was in L.A. again, where it was warm and I had friends there. When I was still on the X Factor and I spent all my time with the girls. It's hardly been twenty four hours and I missed them terribly.

The sound of the doorbell caused me to fall back onto my pillows, the color blue surrounding me. I haven't been in here in four months, I had almost forgotten what it looked like. I looked over at my alarm clock, sighing when I saw that it was barely eight o'clock. I closed my eyes and pulled the covers around my cold body, wishing for the warm L.A weather again.

I heard someone running up the stairs and I groaned, rolling my eyes at whoever it was that I would be killing later. The door to my room opened and I sighed, "Go away Kacey, I'm not in the mood to play right now." I mumbled, half asleep.

"Well if you don't want to play than I guess I'll go home." My eyes widened as I recognized the voice and I sat up, turning to look at her. Her familiar brown eyes met mine and I nearly screamed, climbing off of my bed to hug her. She already had ideas to hug and she practically fell on top of me as I tried to get off the bed.

I laughed loudly as she rolled off of me, and I sat up to face her. "Oh my God, Nat, I missed you so much." I said, hugging her.

"I know, I know. I missed you too. I can't believe that it's been four months since I've seen you." Natalie said, hugging me back. She abruptly pulled away and glared at me. Before I could say anything she smacked my arm. I flinched backwards, leaning against my pillows.

"What was that for?" I asked, holding my arm.

"What was that for? Elizabeth Marie Johnston, do you realize that you've met and sang with the only boy band that matters. And then on top of that, you were seen leaving a club with Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson! What have you been up to?" Natalie said, crossing her arms and shaking her head at the end.

I laughed quietly, nodding my head as well. A lot has happened in the four months that I've been gone and Natalie is going to love everything about it. "Um, well I obviously met One Direction. Oh Nat, you're going to love them even more. I swear, they are amazing. Everything that we've heard about meeting them is true. They are just the nicest. I mean, they're typical guys that joke about sex and that sort of shit, but they are still so amazing." I gushed.

"Sex? Shit? Since when did you start saying that sort of stuff? I guess it was Julie, she's got the mouth of a sailor. But anyway, that must have been amazing. I can't believe you even sang with them. That must have been just... I don't even have the words to say." Natalie said.

"That's not even the best part!" I nearly screamed with excitement. "Look at this." I said, grabbing Horsey from beside me and handing the stuffed unicorn to Nat. "You'll never guess who gave me that." I said, smiling. My cheeks were beginning to hurt with how much I was smiling.
