Chapter 1
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Everyone chanted. Today is February 11th and my birthday. I’m so excited. Today is going to be a great day. This is my first time celebrating my birthday in London, and it was going to be amazing. I moved here from New York a year ago. Since then I met many new people; I made many new friends.
I don’t trust people that easily, and I don’t get close to them either. But I moved to a whole new place, so I thought this would be a great place to change myself. That was probably my best decision; I met many great people, and one special person in specific.
Speaking of him, where was he this whole time I haven’t seen him. I searched throughout the house; I couldn’t find him anywhere. I asked a few people, but no one saw him anywhere. Every second someone came up to me and said “happy birthday”, but I really wasn’t paying attention to them. My eyes were searching for him. Finally I was able to go to the backyard. I skimmed the backyard; he wasn’t even near the pool.
“Did he even come?” I murmured to myself.
This is pissing me off. How could he be late on my birthday? Right when I was about to turn around and stomp back in the house, I felt a hand cover my eyes. His hands were soft and warm. He came near my ear:
“Happy Birthday love.” He whispered.
His warm breath tingles my neck; his amazing voice melted me. Every time he came near me, my heart skipped; I could clearly hear my heart beats, and this scared me. I always wondered if he heard my heart beat; I always wondered if his heart beats like that whenever he saw me. I can’t stay mad at him for long, but this time I’m not going to forgive him so easily. I crossed my hand.
“What the fuck?!”
Instantly he removed his hands, I think he understood that I was pissed. He took from the waist and slowly turned me around. He was looking directly in my eyes. His eyes were beautiful, they were perfection. I could stare at them forever, and just get lost.
“What’s wrong babe?” He had his worried face on. He looked so indescribable
“I don’t know you tell me?” I tapped my right foot on the floor and still had my hands crossed.
“Is it because I’m late?” God, his worried was so irresistible.
“No Shit!”
“Aw I’m sorry love. It was just…erm…I was busy and all. So I kind of got late. I’m really sorry.” He had his sad face on I really couldn’t stay mad at him anymore. I had to forgive him.
“God I can’t stay mad at you long for too long.” I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a hug. He smelled really good, it was the same smell as when we first met.
I finally released him.
“I’m just happy that you came.” I gave him a smile.
“How could I have not come? You know how much I love you.”
“Yeah.” Honestly I didn’t, we really never talked about this before. I was always scared to know, what if he didn’t love me the same way. What if it was only one sided love? I always kept it to myself, even though I think I made it pretty obvious. A lot of people guessed it by know, except him. I wonder what goes through his mind when he sees me, when he hears my name. Does he even think of me?
I gave him a slight smile.
“Let’s go inside, everyone must be wondering where the birthday girl is.” He had his hands in his pocket, nudged me with his shoulder and gave me a smile. He took his hands out and took my hand in his. They interlocked perfectly, a smile started to grow on my face, and I started to get butterflies in my stomach. I didn’t want to go inside; I wanted to freeze this moment right here. I wanted to be with him and only him.
“Okay, lets.”
We entered the house, our hands were still interlocked. Everyone started to stare at us. I quickly took my hand away and put it besides me.
“What are you guys looking at?” Seriously, what were they looking at? It’s not like they never seen us together before. Sometimes people can be so confusing.
Everyone’s gaze finally turned away.

Twenty minutes in to the party, and I was having a great time. I was talking to my friend when I felt a hand gently tap my shoulder. I spun around to see who it was, and once again he was standing in front of me.
“What’s up?” I bit my lower lip as I looked up into his eyes.
“Erm…I had a surprise for you.”
“REALLY!” A big smile came upon my face, I practically jumped.
“Yeah.” He gave me a slight smile, a smile that I would die for.
“OH MY GOD. You really didn’t have to do anything.”
“Well I wanted to. But it’s not here.”
“Then, where is it?” I slightly tilted my head and gave him a confused smile.
“Well you’re going to have to come with me to see.”
“Come where?”
“Here, come.” He took my hand and headed towards the door. I can’t believe it. He actually had a surprise for, I wasn’t expecting anything special. I couldn’t contain my happiness or butterflies that were in my stomach. He brought me out of the house and closed the door behind us.
“Umm where are you taking me?” I gave him nervous laugh.
“You’ll see.” He took me near his car; opened the door for me and told me to sit in. He was such a gentleman, but I was so confused.
“Umm where are we going? You do know that there is a party going on in my place, not any part but my birthday party. Wouldn’t everyone think why the birthday girl is missing?” I grinned at him.
“Don’t worry babe. Just get in the car, the boys will take care of the party.”
“Are you sure?” This didn’t seem like such a great idea.
“Positive, now get in.”
“Okay.” I got in the car, I still wasn’t sure if I should just leave but I don’t know why but I just followed what he was telling me to do.
“So where are we going?”
“Ugh you ask so many questions. You’ll see. Anyways, it wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you.” He looked at me and winked, this gave me so many butterflies in my stomach.
“Okay.” I sighed. I put up the volume of radio. Drake was on, I loved him; he was one of my favorite. I put my head on the back of the seat and closed my eyes.

“We’re here.” I opened my eyes. He opened the door for me, put his and in front of me. I held his hand and came out.
I was excited and nervous at the same times. My stomach felt like it was turning. I took a deep breath and followed him. We went in the back of Birra Moretti, a really expensive and great Italian restaurant. Everything looked beautiful; there were lightings all over the place and one table in the middle. There was soft music playing and our own special waiter.
“Sit.” Like a gentleman, he pulled the chair for me.
“Wow, this place is beautiful.” I sat down and looked around.
“Not as beautiful as you.” My stomach twisted, and my heart fluttered to his words.
“Thank you.” Was all that came out of my mouth. It was hard to take everything in. We ate, talk and laughed. This was probably the best birthday; I don’t think it could get any better.
He got up and came around the table.
“Would you like to dance with me?”
“Sure.” I put my long, black hair behind my left ear.
He put his on my waist and I put my hand on his should, while our hands were interlocked. We slowed danced to the soft music.
“Ermm…I wanted to ask you, but I didn’t know how to and when.”
“What do you want to ask? I gave him a slight smile, trying to hide my excitement.
“Okay, so I know you for a year know, to be exact one year and one month. Since the first time I laid my eyes on I fell for you. Every day I fell for you even more. You’re different; I never met anyone like you. I always wanted to ask you this, but I never knew how you would respond. You’re the most beautiful girl I ever laid my eyes on, an-”
“I’m not that beautiful.” I cut him. I never really cared about how I looked or what I wore. So I never tried to look nice. I never wore make up, if I did than it would be mascara and sometimes lip gloss. I wore what was comfortable.
“Yes you are. Beautiful is an understatement. You’re more than that. I just wanted to ask…Saira, will you be my girlfriend.”
I stopped dancing. I couldn’t believe he just asked me that, I never thought he ever would ask me. He was so fit, so extraordinary. So many girls threw themselves over him, and he asked me. I couldn’t contain my excitement anymore.
“YES!” that’s all I was able to say. Before I knew it he crushed his lips with mine. I couldn’t resist and kissed him back. It felt perfect. It felt like fireworks in my stomach.
The rest of the night we looked at the stars, talked, laughed and gave each other stolen kisses.
“We should head back, it’s getting pretty late, and I wouldn’t want to make a bad impression on your parents.”
“They already know you, but we should head back. It’s getting late.” Honestly I didn’t want to leave. This was the perfect moment. I wanted to capture it forever.
We headed back to the car and drove off.
In the car we were laughing and joking around.
“Slow down, you’re going fast.”
“Nothing will happen, I’m here with you.” He was going really fast, it was kind of scaring me. It was pretty late to drive this fast.
“Slow the fuck down. It’s dark.”
“Okay calm down.” Before he could slow down, a car was coming in front of us. Was the driver drunk, he was driving on the wrong side of the road. I was freaking out.
“MOVE. THERE IS A CAR COMING IN FRONT OF US.” I screamed. I put my hands in front of my eyes. The light from the car was blinding me. We lost the control of our car, and the next thing I knew our car hit the car that was coming in the wrong direction; our car flipped over.
“ZAYN” I screamed on the top of my lung.
The last thing I remember people were screaming. Zayn was unconscious in the car and after that everything got blurry. Before I knew it everything turned black.
