Zayn's POV

I smile as I look outside the window; our fans are outside singing the lyrics to Little Things

“I won't let this little things slip out of my mouth 

But if i do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to 

I’m in love with you and all these little things

I flop on my bed and smile; we have the best fans in the world. To make it up to them, I decided to go on Twitter and do a #zaynmalikfollowspree within 30 seconds of tweeting that, I already had 5,652 retweets and 3,696 favorites. I go to my mentions and I start to follow people, but then something catches my eye, I see a girl tweet me:

@RileyBoo: Every time @zaynmalik has a follow spree, he doesn't follow me...he always follows the beautiful girls…

I frown; it breaks my heart when our fans don't think they're beautiful. I look through her pictures; she has a pretty round face, gorgeous auburn colored hair, and a gorgeous smile. How can someone as beautiful as she is feel so insecure?

@zaynmalik: @RileyBoo I'm sorry babe, I get a lot of these. But I think all girls are beautiful, you are exceptionally beautiful :) Xx

After I tweet her, I follow her. I smile, I try to imagine the look on her face when I follow and tweet her. I look on her Twitter page, 

@RileyBoo: WOW thank you @zaynmalik no one ever called be beautiful before <33

I frown again; I can't believe no one has called her beautiful. I decide to DM her,

@zaynmalik: Hey babe :) x

@RileyBoo: Babe? Me? Lol are you sure you sent this DM to the right person?

@zaynmalik: I’m sure, I don’t do this often, but you seem…different. So can I know more about you? Sorry if I sound creepy lol...

@RileyBoo: oh its fine, my name is Riley Westly I'm 18 years old and I'm from Texas, I lived there for 14 years. But my dad's company changed and I moved to the UK now I live in a town called Birmingham. And I can’t believe I told you all of that, for all I know you may be a creepy hacker trying to kill me :o

@zaynmalik: Really that’s like a half hour from Liam’s hometown; maybe if we’re visiting him, we can come to your place. And don’t worry, it’s definitely me and not a creep :D

@RileyBoo: Isn’t that what a creep would say O.o but I believe you! It would be awesome, yet crazy if you boys came to visit me.

@zaynmalik: yeah, it would be. Well it's getting late; I should be going...I have sound check in the morning. Can we talk tomorrow?

@RileyBoo: yeah :) talk to you tomorrow. G'night

@zaynmalik: night, night

I look at the clock, it wasn't that late...I felt bad for stopping the conversation, but I don't want to run out of things to talk about with Riley, she is a really nice girl. So I decide to go down in the loft where the lads were sitting. I see Niall in the corner playing his guitar calmly, to Harry and Louis. I walk over to Liam who is sitting by himself at the fireplace.

“Hey Liam—why are you sitting by yourself?”

He shrugs, but doesn't say anything.

“C'mon Li, you've been like this for weeks now. I know you and Danielle had something special but, you can't block your friends out.”
