                     It was 30 minutes before the show started, and we were all hanging out in the boy’s dressing room. “You’re on in 30 guys” the stage manager popped his head in, he waved to me and the other girls “Don’t get stage fright when you go up Marley” the stage manager said walking out the door, “Don’t worry I won’t!” I replied just before the door clicked in to place.  Even though I’ve performed live in front of hundreds of people in my early teenage years I was just a little nervous about going on stage at a One Direction concert.   I started pacing in a corner wondering ‘What if the fans hate me?’ ‘What if their mad at Zayn for keeping the relationship a secret?’ ‘What if it doesn’t work with me and him anymore?’ I stopped, sat in a chair and put my head in my hands stressed out from that little of thinking. 

                   “You guys are on it 5, make your way to the stage boys, girls you can go to your seats.” Wow I’ve been pacing for twenty five minutes? Zayn came up to hug me before we huddled in to a circle to pray and do the boys cheer.  “Good luck Zayn, I’ll be watching you closely” I said laughing as he pulled me in to hug, “haha, my eyes will be on you the entire time!” he replied.  Paul came over to us girls and took us to our seats, we started to cheer and screamed “Bring One Direction out already!” 

                           They started singing songs from Up All Night and Take Me Home.   It was half way through the concert when I heard, “Ok, the next song were going to sing is ‘They Don’t Know About Us.’” As I heard the piano go I knew that was my cue to get backstage and wait for Harry and Liam to come get me. Niall, Louis and Zayn ended off the song as Zayn sang “But I want to them, I want to the world that your mine girl!” Harry and Liam to pulled me on stage as they ended the song off before finishing.   Everyone started to cheer and my face went red and I was smiling, “Guys I want everyone to meet my girlfriend, Marley Conair!” he said as the instrumental for Little Things started.  “Marley and I have been dating a year, you guys have to promise no hate towards this gorgeous girl.” I started smiling really big and I felt my eyes getting really watery, Zayn put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him and gave me a hug than a passionate kiss.  

                   The crowd went wild and one fan screamed “Zarley for life!” me and Zayn turned to face the crowd as we both smiled.  Not even five minutes in to telling the crowd we were dating for over a year we already had our names joined as one.  Zayn handed me his microphone, “you guys can follow my Twitter, I disconnected it on our 1 year anniversary for personal reasons but Zayn will tweet it when we get home. Thanks for shipping Zayn and I!” The crowd screamed louder and started chanting “We love Zarley!”  They started to sing Little Things for real.

                 The boys successfully ended their concert, Paul took me and the other girls to the boys change room.  “Good job boys” Danielle said as she went up and kissed Liam.  Briar ran up to Niall, the fans already and they had no hate.  Niall picked up Briar and spun her around. “Great show!” I said as I casually walked up to Zayn “You shook a little when I handed you the mic Marley” he said poking at me, “I didn’t know what to say!!” Zayn posted my twitter on his and instantly my phone blew up with followers and mentions from all the directioners as I connected my twitter once again.   I flipped over to the discover page and scrolled down to see what was trending, lone behold “ZarleyWeLoveYou” and “Zarley” were already trending, wow that was fast considering we told them not even an hour ago.

               “We ready to go?” asked Harry as his curls bounced up and down from the adrenaline he just felt, “Yeah lets hit the road I’m exhausted!” Louis screamed right in Harrys face. Zayn  grabbed my hand as we walked out in to the crowd of eager girls waiting for the boys.  “Can I have your autographs and a picture with everyone?” asked one girl looking around the age of 8 she had tears running down her cheeks as she tried to desperately gasping for air, “Yes of course love” Liam said and started signing his name on her CD.  We all got the picture done and a few more autographs and pictures.  Zayn didn’t let go of my hand once, we finally made it to the car.  I was happy to be in Zayn’s shirt, in our bed and him laying beside me.  “Goodnight love” he whispered in to my ear and pulled my back to his chest, he wrapped his legs around mine and I instantly fell asleep.
