There's No Such Thing As Too Young

*Zayn's POV*

"Guys? Why is it so dark in here? What's going on?" I asked, holding Drella's hand tightly as the group followed behind the group into a small nightclub.

It was almost pitch black as we walked through the dimly lit hallway.

No one didn't answer me.

"Seriously, guys! This is so sketch-" I spoke but was cut off when Niall opened the door to the bistro.

"Happy Birthday!" The words echoed in my ears, and Drella jumped from next to me, scurrying behind my back.

I was surprised to say the least.

Justin Bieber, Austin Mahone, Cody Simpson, Selena Gomez, and the members from Fifth Harmony and Little Mix were stood in the room.

Our crew members were also there.

The room was decorated brightly, just like when Drella had her party.

But, this time it was a surprise party for me.

Wow.

I turned to Niall and the guys in pure shock.

"You did this for me?" I asked, my mouth agape.

"Yep, happy birthday, bro." He grinned, hugging me and patting my back.

"How?" I asked, still in shock,

"We rented the place out." Louis spoke up, his arm firmly around Emily's waist.

"Happy birthday, dude." Liam said, slapping my cheek and heading straight for the bar with Harry.

I was pushed into the room and I was swarmed by my friends as they greeted me.

Drella was still cowering behind me and I could basically feel her anxiety hitting the roof and that made me anxious.

"Hold on, mate." I said to Austin, who I was currently speaking to, I motioned Jesy Nelson over to me.

She looked confused for a second, before wondering over.

"What’s up?"

"This is Drella. Take her with you, she's a bit nervous." I murmured, nodding my head back to Drella who was gripping my shirt.

She nodded in understanding.

I turned around to face Drella, ducking down to kiss her nose.

"I'll be with you in a few minutes, I'm just going to mingle. Stay with the girls, and don't go anywhere on your own." I whispered in her ear, she nodded silently.

"Come on, little lady. Let’s get you a drink, ease that overactive brain of yours." Jesy teased, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, leading her over to the bar where Emily was with Louis.

"She's cute." commented, Cody prancing over to where Austin and I stood.

"She's also taken." I warned, narrowing my eyes at him.

"Chill, dude. I have my price charming right here, isn't that right, Austin?" Cody giggled, kissing Austin's cheek.

I rolled my eyes at them, used to their behavior as I was around them constantly when we toured together.

"Dude!" Austin cussed, punching Cody's arm.

They started play fighting.

I was suddenly pulled away to the side.

I looked to see who it was.

"Perrie!" I exclaimed, pulling the lady in for a hug.

"Zayn! How you been, man? Its shit getting older, isn't it?" She boomed, laughing as she hugged me back.

"I've been good, you? I already see you're taking advantage of the bar." I spoke, motioning to the drinks she had in each hand.

"Free bar." She nodded, her British accent thick.

"Free bar? Nice! I'll catch up with you lot later, don't enjoy yourself too much." I chuckled, withdrawing from her and wondering back over to Drella.

Harry was sat with her, keeping a close eye on her.

He knew what she could get like when she was stressed.

I'd told him everything about her, and he understood as he went through a lot of the same things when he was a teenager.

I hovered behind her, placing my hands on her hips.

"Are you alright?" I asked her, speaking loudly due to the club music now playing.

She nodded and leaned back into me, holding onto one of my hands tightly.

I waved the bartender over.

"Two whiskey and cokes please." He nodded and went to preparing our drinks.

Drella rubbed circles on the back of my hand, still looking around and analyzing her surroundings.

I watched her carefully, noticing how she looked at everyone, tilting her head to the side and gauging their personalities.

The bartender who was named 'Gary' placed our drinks in front of us, and I handed Drella hers.

I then grabbed mine and took her hand, leading her to an empty booth, not wanting her to panic with so many people surrounding her.

I pulled her into my arms as I sat down, and she perched herself on my lap.

She took shy sips of her drink before setting it down onto the table next to mine.

I rubbed her knee.

"You look very beautiful tonight."

"Thank you, you look very handsome." She replied, rubbing her fingers over my cheek.

I buried my face in the crook of her neck, pressing my lips to her skin, inhaling the smell of her perfume.

Man, I loved her scent.

Drella turned my face and tilted my chin, bringing me in for a kiss.

I eagerly responded, just happy to be with her right now.

Last year I spent my last birthday on tour, in a cramped airplane with the other guys, flying through different countries.

Drella and I pulled away as someone else slipped into the booth.

We looked over to see Selena Gomez, and her friend, Ariana Grande.

"How you doin'?! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever!" Shee exclaimed, knocking knuckles with me.

"You saw me two days ago, girl. We spent three weeks together touring, silly." I laughed, holding onto Drella.

She was swirling her drink around her glass.

"Hi! I don't believe we've met, I'm Ariana." Selena's friend introduced herself to Drella, holding her hand out.

"Drella." She responded quietly, hesitantly shaking Ariana's hand.

I knew Drella didn't like physical contact with anyone she didn't know, and I was proud of her right now for stepping out of her comfort zone.

We all mingled for the next hour or so, just chilling out, catching up, sharing tour stories, drinking and just having a good time.

It was nice seeing my friends, and I was so grateful for my band members doing this for me.

I'd just left Drella with Emily again, while I went out for a cigarette.

I leaned against the wall, lighting up my smoke and breathing in deeply.

I let out a sigh of relief, leaning back against the brick wall of the club and closing my eyes.

"Overwhelmed?" Someone chuckled, leaning next to me.

I opened my eyes to see Justin stood by me, smoking himself.

"You could say that, having a good time?" I asked, flicking away some ash.

"Free bar, mate. Need I say anymore?" Justin laughed, his cigarette hanging from his mouth.

"Good point." I grinned, shaking my head and taking another drag.

Goosebumps covered my skin, as the bitter air surrounded me.

"There are some fit girls here, man." Justin stated.

"Yeah? I didn't notice." I shrugged.

I had a girlfriend who I loved very much.

Why would I need to look at other girls?

Nobody would ever compare to Drella.

"There's a brunette in there that I've got my eye on, she's sexy as hell, I think she'll look even better underneath me though." Justin said.

"What does she look like?"

"Brunette, like I said. She's tall, with amazing legs." He said dreamily, practically drooling.

"What's she wearing?" I wondered, absentmindedly gazing at the smoke emitting from my cigarette.

"A black dress and leather jacket." He answered.

I nodded and butted out my cigarette, before promptly grabbing Justin by his shirt and pushing him against the wall.

Justin jumped in surprise.

"Keep away from my girlfriend, and I swear to god if I catch you even looking at her, I'll knock your teeth out. Do you understand?" I growled.

"I didn't know, man! I swear!" He defended his eyes wide with fright.

I could be scary when I wanted to.

"I mean it, Bieber. Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself, because I can assure you that the only person she's going to be 'under' tonight, is me."

Justin gulped and nodded.

I loosened my hands from the tight grip I had on him, and pulled myself away.

Justin immediately straightened himself up.

"I'll be watching you." I warned, before walking away back into the bistro.

I made my way back over to the bar, wrapping an arm tightly around Drella.

"What took you so long?" Drella asked, wrapping her arms around my neck.

I saw Justin walk back in out of the corner of my eye.

"I couldn't get my lighter to work, darling." I lied, bending down to capture her in a deep kiss.

Sometime later we were all outside of mine and my place, pretty much hammered except for Liam and Harry.

Actually, Drella was only tipsy too.

She could handle her alcohol well and was a quiet drunk.

Everyone was too drunk to go back to their own homes, so we were all crashing here.

"Bed, baby." I told Drella, dragging her through the front door.

I leaned down on wobbling legs, and pulled off her heels, chucking them to the side.

"Goodnight! Thanks for the great birthday." I slurred, giving everyone a thumbs up as they scattered throughout the house.

Drella giggled and grabbed my hand, pulling me up the stairs.

I rested my hands on her hips as she guided me to my room, pulling me inside and locking the door behind us.

We both got ourselves changed, and Drella was dressed in one of my shirts and her underwear.

If I wasn't so drunk I probably would have jumped her.

We then collapsed on the bed, with Drella in my arms like normal.

"Goodnight, beautiful." I sleepily mumbled.

"Goodnight, Zayn."
