"Trust me Louis, your parents won't want to meet me." Avec cried as he drove to Doncaster. "Nonsense! Plus we haven't given you much of a choice. You'll spend a day at pretty much all of our houses, our families would want to meet you."
"But Liam's mum and dad alread-"
"Stop. Just stop arguing with him, Louis doesn't listen at all." Zayn cut her off. A small groan left her full lips, she watched the cold winter wind blow small snow drifts around outside. "So just nap on Harry back there and when you wake up we'll probably be there." Louis said, she looked at Harry and said "Hold very still." She rested her head on his chest and shut her eyes, his cheeks heated up slightly. Slowly his arms wrapped around her lithe body, Zayn smirked. 'Shut up' Harry mouthed with a small scowl, Zayn just shrugged with the same smirk. Small calm breaths flowed from her mouth, Avec's nose rubbed into the curly haired teens chest softly. "Aww." Niall mumbled as he noticed the sleeping girl. Liam turned in his seat and chuckled quietly "She's always been able to pass out no matter where she is, but be quiet she sleeps rather lightly." A small grumble was heard from the only one who could sleep in the car with it bouncing around. Louis looked in the rear view mirror and smiled "I didn't think she would actually fall asleep."

"Wake up!" Zayn yelled in Avec's ear, she shot off of Harry and hit her head on the window next to her. "Ow." She groaned quietly. "Careful Avie." Liam said getting out "Woo! Let's go!" Louis yelled as he started walking around the van to open the door for the other four. "Come on you lot! Time to meet my little sisters!" Niall climbed out followed by Zayn, Harry smiled and nodded toward the door. Avec shook her head, she didn't want him to be able to look up her skirt. "Just get out Harry." She said still shaking off her grogginess. He needed no further encouragement as he clambered out of the door, tugging lightly on her braid that was drawn over one shoulder Avec slowly climbed out. The cold winter air hitting her bare legs, she glared at Louis and said "I can't believe I let you drag me to Doncaster."
"Not like it was that long of a drive, god aren't you cold?" The 19 year old asked her looking at her bare legs and light cardigan. "A bit." She mumbled "Can't we just get inside?" She groaned. "Come on then!" Lou said tugging on her wrist. Her heels clicking on the walk way as she walked along with the other five. Her messy pink hair was swept over one shoulder a braid cascading down, most of the upper layers where swept to the right like her bangs. Her white tank top doing little to keep her warm, the cream colored, long sleeved cardigan was far to thin to provide actual warmth to her thin arms. A bracelet with a small golden owl charm hung from her wrist, the ankle boots did little to keep her warm due to the fact that they were mainly stiffened lace on the top half. Louis opened the door and yelled "Mum! Dad, we're here!"
"Lou!" A woman's voice called as footsteps ran down the hall. The eldest member of the boy band let go of Avec's wrist to hug his mum. It was useless for Avec to try and escape, Liam was watching her like a hawk. She looked up at him with a cheeky grin and said "I luv you Liam."
"Uh huh, get your bum over there." Her shoulders dropped and she turned to face Mrs. Tomlinson.

"You must be cold dear, come in wouldn't want you to get frostbite." Mrs. Tomlinson said ushering the teens inside. "Very nice to see you again Mrs. Tomlinson." Harry smiled. "I see a new face." The woman chided looking at Avec who had done a lousy job hiding in the group of boys. "What's your name dearie?"
"Oh-I'm Avec Roe. I've heard a lot about you."
"All good I hope." Louis mother laughed. "Oh very good." Avec assured her. "Mark, girls! Louis home!"
"Lou!" A collective squeal was heard. Four young girls stampeded down the hall to the entrance hall "Let them get inside first." The group of teens made their way down the hall to the sitting room. "Tea?" Lou's mum called from the kitchen. "Yes, please. Would you like some help?" Avec asked walking into the small kitchen. "If you'd like. The tea in it that cupboard right there. You seem taller than me so I don't think I'll need Mark to get it this time."
"Maybe you should have him put it lower so you could reach it? I don't think I'm any taller than you are, I'm just wearing really high heels." The older woman looked down at her shoes and said "I suppose you are."
"Avie? You cook?" Niall asked walking into the kitchen to see the two women chatting over a pot of boiling water. "Yes, thank you very much."

"Mum! Louis doing that weird thing again!"
"What weird thing?" Johannah Tomlinson asked sighing. "That thing with his mouth!"
"What thing?"
"Talking!" The small girl cried with a giggle. "I resent that!" Louis yelled. Avec laughed quietly and called "He seems to do that weird thing all the time, I know the feeling!"
"Hey! Who's side are you on?" Lou cried. Walking into the sitting room Avec wrapped an arm around Lottie and Felicity. "Us girls have to stick together right?" The small group of females giggled and nodded. The pink haired girl stuck her tongue out at the brunette "Liam!" Louis whined. "What is it now?"
"Avie stuck her tongue out at me!" His voice still retaining the whiny pitch. "Your the one that wanted to bring her." Liam teased.
"Eh." He grumbled. Letting go of the young Tomlinson's, Avec walked to the singer and hugged him with a big grin. "Lou?" He groaned at the sight of her big chocolatey eyes. "Sorry." She said cutely. "Fine."
"Yay!" The girl cheered as she threw her arms around his neck again.

"Good night you lot! Daisy, Phoebe go to bed now."
"BUT MUM!" The twins yelled in unison. "No buts."
"Lottie gets to stay up, so does Fizzy!"
"They're older." Mr. Tomlinson called. "Daddy!"
"Good night luvs!" He yelled from down the hall. "Goodnight!" One Direction yelled in response. Laughter erupted from the group, the couch was completely occupied with five boys sitting next to one another. Liam and Niall took the arms of the couch, Avec was sprawled out over Louis, Zayn, and Harry with her head resting on Liam's leg. Felicity and Lottie sat in front of the couch staring at the TV, a movie played and they watched mindlessly. "Hey I'm going to go change for bed." She walked to her bag that Zayn had dragged inside earlier. Pulling out her long pants and a long jumper "Be back." Jogging up the stairs she peered into a couple rooms and found what appeared to be Louis' room, and finally she found the loo. Changing quickly she shut the door quietly and walked down the stairs.

Harry looked at the landing of the stairs and saw Avec standing there, her sleep bottoms hanging loosely from her legs. Her jumper slipping off both of her shoulders, her hair was down and hanging around her face again. The dark room was only illuminated by the Television, Felicity looked up and said "You look so pretty!"
"Oh? Thank you Felicity."
"Yeah, simply lovely." Lottie said with a grin. "Of course she does!" Louis laughed. Raising an eyebrow Avec made her way back to the couch and jumped on the boys. "OW!"
"Shh, your mum and dad are sleeping." Harry looked at Avec when she said that and scowled. She giggled and leaned up to whisper in his ear. "I'm sexy and you know it." The younger girls giggled and whispered to one another. "What are you two whispering about?" Louis asked looking at his sisters. "Nooothinng." He shrugged and snickered at Harry's expression. "You look like you just got a head." The young girls below the couch looked at each other in confusion. "Don't worry about it." Avec said looking at Louis in shock. "Well, girls what do you say you and I get to bed?" The short teen asked looking at the smaller girls. "Okay."
"Night lads." She pecked Liam's cheek and hugged each of them. "Night Avie."

As the three girls walked up the stairs Felicity asked "Are you dating Harry?"
"Hahaha, no."
"You two look good together though." Lottie said with a small smile. "I don't know about that." Avec laughed quietly. "So where am I sleeping?"
"Well, Fizzy and I are going to sleep in my room and you can sleep in there with us if you want or you can take Felicity's room."
"So which is your room?"
"Yay!" Lottie whisper-yelled. Opening a door she led the older girl inside A pallet was on the floor and Avec said "I'll take the floor."
"A-are you sure?"
"Abso-posi-lutly." She grinned. She laid on the floor and looked up at the ceiling a small girlish giggle was heard from next to her. "So, do you have a crush on Harry?"
"Maybe?"
"Is that a yes or no?"
"Maybe." She laughed. "Oh fine then." Felicity grumbled.

"Get up!" Niall yelled in the door. "ACK! My god, do you have to do that!?"
"Yes!" Niall laughed. "Get dressed!" Louis yelled as he passed the door. "Mornin' Avec!" Zayn called. "Hi guys! Alright I'll do that!" She then noticed the two little girls laying on her chest "Soft pillows." Felicity mumbled sitting up. "Oh dear, I'm sorry." She apologized. "S'okay, don't worry about it. You two feel like helping be get dressed?"
"Yeah!" They yelled in unison. "So where are you going today?"
"Bradford I think."
"Oh cool! Well lets' start!" Avec pulled her bag out and looked though it. "Why do have such pretty shoes and clothes?" Lottie asked in envy. "I've had a while to collect them, trust me. You never want this many shoes. It get's to be to much for even the strongest of wills, I have quiet a few back in Wolverhampton." The girls looked through all her tops and noticed something "You have a lot of tank tops, it's winter."
"Yeah, I know. Not my brightest moment."
"Okay how about this?" Felicity asked pulling out a pair of black jeans and a white tank top with lace trim. "And these and this!" Lottie said holding out a pair of black flats with silver buckles on them, and a bright purple pea-coat.

"I like it, I'll pick out what I'm going to wear with it though. Not that I don't trust you, I just have to be careful with some of my jewelry. My grand-mum gave me some of it." The pair nodded and watched her pull out a small wooden box. Opening it Avec asked "Want a look-see?" Peering over the older girls shoulders they saw a beautiful array of chains and charms, studs and strings. Avec reached down to a simple small clear rhinestone stud and turned so the little girls could see. "Dear god that's cold." She muttered as she turned back to the small box, the girls looked in her ears and couldn't find the ring anywhere. "Where's it at?" The pink haired female reached up and tapped her nose. They looked and sure enough on the left side of her nose was the stud "You have one of those?" Lottie asked in awe. "Yeah, again not my brightest moment."
"It looks so cool!" Felicity said with a huge grin. "Why thank you. I don't think Liam's noticed it yet, that's a really good thing. Now what about these;" She held up a pair of earrings that were shaped like bow ties. "Those are so Harry." Lottie giggled. Giving her a mother-like look that said 'We-Are-Not-Amused'. "And a silver bow necklace." She said pulling it out of the confines of the small box. "Pretty." Lottie mused. "Okay I'll go change. Go on down stairs to eat, I'll see ya down there."

"Hullo boys." Avec said as she walked into the kitchen to see everyone trying to sit around the table. Frowning at the lack of seats she decided to find on for herself, she looked for an available one. Giving up she settled for pulling the back of Harry chair "W-What are you doin'?" He stuttered as she jerked on his chair. "There aren't any chairs left for me to sit on."
"So your stealing mine?"
"No, I'm not mean. I'm going to sit on your lap." He shrugged and let her sit on him. "Good thing your not boney." He watched her take a spoonful of his porridge "What do you think your doing?" He demanded attempting to take the spoon from her. "Enjoying breakfast, what does it look like?"
"Enjoying my breakfast, is what it looks like!" She giggled and he pushed away from the table deciding he was done, he then stood up with out letting Avec get up. "EEP!" She yelled clinging to his neck. "Put me down, put me down!"
"Just put your feet down." He said in between laughs. "I can't reach." She said kicking her legs. "That's because your short Avec." Louis called from the end of the table. "Your only an inch taller than her Lou." Liam defended. "Please put me down Harry." She asked quietly. He smiled softly and set the short girl on the floor.

"Love you Louis, phone us when you get to Bradford."
"Okay mum, love you too. Bye-bye Fizzy, Lottie, Phoebe, Daisy."
"Bye Lou!" The group of girls called in unison. "Bye Avec." Avec heard as she was about to get in the van, turning she saw Felicity. "Bye Felicity." She smiled. The younger girl wrapped her arms around her waist and hugged the teen. Running a hand through her hair she smiled and pulled away saying "See ya later."
"You'll phone me?"
"I'll steal the phone from Lou." She grinned. Felicity giggled and said "I'll look forward to that, bye bye!" Finally free of small girls she shot into the van and sat in the seat next to the window. Louis got into he drivers side and waited for the group to get buckled up. "You made quite and impression on my family." Lou grinned looking into the backseat. "Your sisters clearly like me." Avec said with a grin on her face. "Was that so hard?"
"No I suppose not."
"We're going to Ireland last right?"
"Yes." Niall said from behind her. "Okay then." A small smile painted her lips.

"Can't we stop for a while and stretch." Zayn groaned. "Ten more minutes." Louis said determined to make them wait. "Lou! That's what you said twenty minutes ago!" Avec cried. "Pull over already." Harry agreed. "Oh fine." He found the next turnoff which was a wooded area, the ground blanketed with snow. "What a great place to stop!" Louis said in a rather excited voice. They all got out and walked around for a few minutes "Harrry~!" Avec sang. The curly haired boy turned around only to be hit in the face with a ball of snow. "Oh your gonna pay for that!" He laughed whipping the snow from his face. He took a handful of snow and packed it rather loosely, looking for her he saw a shock of purple and threw there. "Ah!" Avec screamed when the snow came in contact with her bare neck. "Okay t-" Snow came in contact with Harry's mouth. His eyes widened at the sight of Louis grinning and then the older boy realized he was going down hard. "Avie! Protect me!" He yelled as he dove behind the small female. Seeing the tail of Zayn's coat she jerked the tall boy in front of her. He stiffened and said "Okay, we're done!"
"No Liam and I haven't thrown any yet!" Niall yelled. "This. Means. WAR!" Louis yelled jumping out from behind Avec throwing a pre-made snowball straight at Liam.

"That was so stupid." Avec giggled as she crawled into her seat shivering and damp, snow clung to her long thick lashes. Her dark eyes peered over to Harry who was shivering as well, a merry grin on his face. "That was fun." Niall decided with a huge smile sprawled over his face. "I have to agree." Liam grinned. "Yeah!" The remaining four called. "Harry."
"Mm?" He hummed in response. "I'm cold." Avec replied. "I'm sorry."
"Can you warm me up?"
"Uh?" Before he could respond properly she had burrowed under his arm. "Your pretty warm."
"I'm in the line of the heater." He chuckled. "I think I- YAWN - 'll take a nap." She seemed pretty worn out, resting her head on Harry's firm and build chest she let her eyes flutter shut. Harry leaned back and closed his eyes as well. Niall's voice shook him from his trance "What are you doin' Zayn?"
"Shh." Zayn snickered. A small tickling on Harry's neck made him reach back and smack the culprit. "I'm not asleep yet."
"Oh." Zayn said, the he looked in the window to see if his hair was messed up. Letting his mind wander, he tried not to think of the girl cuddling into his side. "Do you think he's asleep this time?" He heard Zayn ask quietly. "No he's not" Harry whispered trying to stay as quiet as possible, Avec was a surprisingly light sleeper so they had to be quiet.

"Your going to Cheshire now?"
"Holmes Chapel to be exact." Harry replied to Mrs. Malik. "Well have a good trip."
"Will do!" Zayn yelled as he got in the passenger side. "How do you wear those thin things?" Harry asked as he looked at Avec. "What do you mean?"
"Those cardigans and tank tops. It's super cold, I don't understand it." She shrugged and said "At least I wore boots today." He nodded and said "Maybe we'll have another snowball fight in the middle of nowhere."
"Haha, that was fun." She chuckled, and got into the van's second row. "Alright! Holmes Chapel!" Louis grinned straightening out his hat. "Right." Harry said getting in the passenger seat, Niall slid into the second row with Avec and Liam and Zayn got in the very back. "Nialler?"
"Hm?" Niall asked turning to look at Avec. "Do you have any Jelly Babies?"
"Uh? Yeah, want some?" He asked fishing a package out of his pocket. "Yes please." She grinned, he smiled and handed a few to her. She grinned and merrily at the sweets "Jelly Babies?" Liam asked raising an eyebrow. "Yeah." She said rubbing her ear as Zayn blew on it. "Would you knock that off?" She asked slightly irritated. "No, your reaction is to funny." She giggled and said "I'll give you a Jelly Baby."
"Not taken the bate."
"Aww! Please."
"Alright only cause you saw that thing, that time and you were okay with it." She grinned and patted his hand that was resting on the back of her seat. "Saw what thing, when?"
"Nothing!" Zayn and Avec yelled at Louis. He snickered and said "Okay, okay!"

"Harry!" Anne said hugging her son, Avec rubbed her arms uncomfortably. This never to easier for her, Louis hugged her from the side. "Chill out Avy, they're gonna love you."
"You must be Avec, Harry talks about you all the time!"
"Mum." Harry mumbled with a small blush on his cheeks. Avec started laughing at the sight of the player blushing. "Y-yes ma'am. Pleasure to meet you."
"The same to you. "His mother smiled and asked "Harry, you running a temperature. Your face is red."
"No mum." He mumbled a dusting of red on his face. "Let's go eat dinner!" Anne said with a big grin. "Robin, is it ready?"
"Yes dear." He yelled. They made their way to the kitchen, Niall sat next to Louis watching the food come to the table. "Toad in the hole?" Harry asked excitedly. "Yes, because I know it's your favorite." A grin crossed the 17-year-olds face as he waited for his awesome dinner.

"Avec?" Harry asked quietly "Mm?" She mumbled waking up slightly. "Your laying on my bed."
"And?"
"I was gonna- Never mind." He sigh crawling in next to her, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep again. Her pink hair was illuminated with moon light "Harry? I though you weren't going to make a move on Avec." Liam whispered anger coloring his tone as he looked at them. "Huh? She wouldn't move, and you lot took my floor." Harry whispered in response. Nodding Liam pulled the blankets up over his shoulders. "Night Hazza." Liam whispered using his nickname for Harry. "G'night." Harry sigh feeling her wrapped in his arms was slightly comforting to the fact that he liked her. Hopefully she wouldn't be upset in the morning, shutting his eyes he heard Louis singing in his sleep. Reaching for a foam ball to chuck at the older boy all he found was a tissue box, shrugging he tossed it at Louis head. "HUH!?" The older boy shot up fully awake. "Shut up." Niall snickered. "Kay." Louis said falling asleep cuddling with Zayn's sleeping figure. "Ngh." Avec mumbled pulling herself closer shivering. Harry yanked the blankets up to cover her body.

"WOLVERHAMPTON HERE WE COME!" Avec yelled making Harry jump off the edge of his bed. "What the hell!?" Louis yelled as Harry landed on him. "Louis, quite spooning me!" Zayn hollered. Niall began to laugh at the whole strange situation. "What are you all screaming about?" Liam asked waking up. "Everything." Avec giggled. "Ah! I can't wait to be home!" She was clearly excited about it. "Well, I'm getting dressed." She said getting out of bed making sure not to step on any of the others. Grabbing her bag off the floor she threw some clothes onto the now empty bed and picked some out. "How long does it take you to pick something?" Liam asked setting his chin on her shoulder. "I'm trying to figure out what I want to wear for a long-ass car trip." She said with a small laugh. "Seriously? You seriously have that many shoes?" He asked pulling out a pair of brown boots with wedge heels. "Thank you Liam, I think I'll wear those."
"I give up." He laughed. "Good, you never win anyways."
"I can beat you at football."
"Suuuuuree." She laughed as he pouted saying "You're a mean woman."
"Thank you, I try very hard. Now I shall go change if you don't mind." She said walking out of the room, closing the bathroom door she pulled her jumper over her head and got dressed.

"You look like a tree."
"Yes with pink leaves." Avec responded to Louis' silliness. "Well your a very pretty tree." Harry's mum said with a chuckle. "Thank you ma'am." Avec said as she took the last seat before Louis could get it. "Louis Tomlinson, get your fat ass off me!" She screamed. "No." He said putting more of his weight on her. "Li! He's sitting on me."
"You sat on me yesterday." Harry said. "That's different I'm a girl."
"You mean I'm not?" Lou asked in 'confused' voice. Her chiming laughter fell from her mouth "Lou I'm sure you'll look great in a skirt."
"Ookay." Anne said smiling. Harry laughed and his sister Gemma looked at the group like they were insane. "You have interesting hair." She said to the younger girl. "Well thank you." Avec smiled. Their breakfast was finished and Avec sprinted out the front door and yelled "Dibs!" As she shot into the passenger side. Louis smiled and climbed in with her "Awesome!" She cheered excitedly. "Onward Tommo." Liam called from the third row. "Right-o!" He played along. The van pulled out of the driveway and down the streets of Holmes Chapel. "I love you One Direction!!" Girlish voices screamed from outside, the cold the after Christmas season doing nothing to damper their spirits and fan-ness.

The radio played some old jazz tune "Change it." Zayn groaned from the back. "No, I like it." Avec said smirking in her mirror. "You listen to this kinda stuff?" Harry asked letting his head fall on the headrest. "From time to time." She shrugged. "Right then, can you turn it down."
"I think I can do that." She smiled. "For the love a god, Avy, change it. It's French jazz, and it sounds way to.....French." Niall groaned. "Alright, but only for you Nialler." She smiled over her shoulder as Niall cheered and smirked at Zayn. "Aw, don't you love us Avec?" Harry asked rubbing her shoulder blades with his thumbs. "If you keep doing that, I'll love you forever." She joked, enjoying the small massage she was receiving. Louis chuckled and said "Alright, were about an hour and a half away. So don't....Freak out."
"Woo!" Avec was thrilled as she watched the frost covered trees pass the windows. "This is the most excitement I've ever seen you have." Louis chuckled. "Well 1: New Year's Eve is only three days away." She said with a big grin. "Which we'll be spendin' in Mullingar." Niall called from beside Harry in the second row. "Yes we will, and two; I get to see my mum and dad."
"Don't forget Eddy." Liam said laughing. "Who's Eddy?" Harry asked slowly becoming worried. "My little brother.
