It's Always Been You

These past two years have been absolute torture. Zayn ended up moving through to live shows with a group of four other guys and they named themselves One Direction. After the finals they went on a tour with contestants from the show. Then they got their own tour and now they’re in the middle of another.

So many times I came so close to seeing Zayn. Each time I found out he was back from tour or interviewing or anything I would make it over to his house as soon as I could, but by the day I could make it there, he already left again. It’s getting really difficult. I’ve been holding in telling him I’ve liked him for a while now.

While he was gone I knew I had to find another person to be my other best friend with Donyia. I decided I would get closer to Donyia’s other best friend Perrie. She did have her Little Mix things going on but we made it work. We’ve actually gotten really close and do feel like best friends.

I can talk to her about anything. Since Donyia doesn’t seem to support my love for Zayn, she suggested I ask Perrie for help. She’ll know what I should do. I still haven’t told her I like him, because I was scared she would put me down just like his sister. But I need to talk to someone!

I went to Perrie’s and knocked on the door. She opened it and said, “Hey Dalila what are you doing here?”

“Hey um…can I talk to you about something?”

“Sure come in…what’s up?” she says closing the door and sitting down.

“It’s about a guy.”

“Ok who?”

“Um…well you know I’m friends with the Maliks.”

“Yeah...wait a bit. Is the guy Zayn?” she asks surprised.

“Yeah…I kinda like…really like him. And I have for a while. But I wanted to wait until I saw him again in person to tell him how I feel and—“

“Noooo. No no no don’t do that.”

“Well why not?”

“Beeeecause telling him could jeopardize your friendship! If he doesn’t feel the same for you, your friendship could be ruined and you would end up hurt.”

“But there’s that chance he does feel the same and if I don’t tell him I could regret it forever.” I say trying to justify myself.

“I don’t think it’s worth the risk. Look just forget about it, okay? Why risk getting your heart broken and losing everything you have right now with him? Now uh…I need to go and…make dinner so I’ll see you later. Bye!” she says practically pushing me out the door and closing it in my face. ….well that was weird. Great, can I get anyone on my side here?!

*Perrie’s POV*

I quickly closed the door and pulled out my phone. This is bad. This is reeeeeeally bad. I dial Zayn’s number and pray he answers. The phone rings a few times before he answers it. “Hey what’s up?” he says on the other end.

“Zayn I have some bad news.”

“Oh no what happened?”

“Dalila was just over and we talked about guys and girl stuff like that and…she doesn’t like you back. I’m really sorry, baby.”

“Oh…it’s ok Perrie. I guess since I can’t date her, would you want to go out with me?”

“That was the deal, wasn’t it?”

He sighs, “yes…it was.”

“That’s right. I gotta go now. I’ll talk to you later, boyfriend! Bye!”

“Bye…” he hangs up. Mission accomplished. Better report back.

I go through my contacts, find the one I need, and press call. A little while later she finally answers saying, “Hey so what’s up? Did she go over there like I told her to?”

“Yep she sure did. And she did tell me she likes Zayn and I told her not to tell him. And then when she left, I called Zayn and told him she doesn’t like him back so now he’s mine!”

“Awesome that’s great.”

“Thanks so much, Donyia. You’re a good sister.”

“Hey anything to keep her from dating my brother like every other friend I’ve had. You’re the only real fit for him that I’ve met! Had to save him for you.”

“Aaawh that means so much. All right well I gotta go brag about this online so I’ll talk to you later, girl! Thanks again.”

“Don’t mention it. Lemme know if I can do anything else for you. Bye!” and she hung up. And Dalila thinks I’m really her friend. Ha! I’m not friends with anyone who tries to steal my man. Oh no…anyone who tries to steal my man is going down. And I’ll see to it that she does. Hard.

Notes

Just wanna say that I LOVE Perrie Edwards and Little Mix, and I love her with Zayn in real life! Just made her evil for story purposes. Until tomorrow, take care lovelies! <3
