Autumn (int. Zayn Malik)

Prologue

Prologue (Autumn)

Evanna Autumn Clarke.

When people hear my first and last name, they won't care. If you ask them who she is, they'll say, "Oh she's the short girl with blonde hair who rides the skateboard and has a girly twin sister, no big deal."

But when people hear my second name and surname, they chase me and take pictures with me. They immediately know who I am, and that makes me annoyed and scared shitless.

I blame you Zayn.

I have been best friends with the guy for as long as I could remember. Yes folks, I'm best friends with the Zayn Malik from that famous boyband your daughters love.

Oh joy.

And that was sarcasm, if you didn't know.

But anyhow, I've known him for more than fifteen years and I grew up with him. Even with millions of girls crushing on him or even daydreaming about him, I still see him as the Zayn I met at the playground, and the Zayn from Bradford.

The fans tell me I'm a lucky girl. That I could always see Zayn and be with him.

But let me tell you this. Being his best friend has its ups as well as the downs.

Spending time with him and his four bandmates are nice. Having fun with him and doing the things we did when we were children, were definitely one of the ups.

And there goes the downs of our relationship.

Imagine yourself running from the paparazzi or the fans. Imagine, wearing an oversized sweatshirt just to hide yourself. The best part is, you get to receive angry looks from the girls at your school.

It's hard.

Another hard thing? Being judged by people just because of your looks and receiving hate.

I may seem strong or boyish, but I'm also a girl at heart. Most of the time, I just laugh the hate off, but sometimes it gets too much. I'm a sensitive person. I get hurt and I'm only human.

Though the hardest part of having him as a friend, is being in love with your own best friend.

Unbelievable.

But yes, you heard it right. I'm in love with Zayn. Surprising isn't it?

But it's a pretty stupid thing you know? Being in love with someone who only sees you as his best friend.

Zayn Malik-- a handsome, good-looking, tall, kind, sweet, caring, shy, you name it, famous person who not to mention is 1/5 of a famous boyband who was formed by a famous artist in a famous and known contest.

I need to find another word for famous.

And as much as I hate to say this, but he has a girlfriend who is very beautiful, blonde, kind and sweet, skinny, flawless and not to mention she looks undevilish. Actually she's not one of the pawns of satan.

The two fit together, and both are singers.

Now that's what I call, a match made from heaven.

I can't believe I just said that.

Then there's me. Me? I'm not a singer. Hell I can't even sing the right note. Unlike Perrie, I have a 5'0" height and I'm considered as one of the guys. I ride the skateboard, she rides a limo. I play video games, she goes shopping. She's famous, I'm not.

So, what chance do I have with Zayn?

Hmm, a zero would be perfect.

It's strange actually. I would have given up by now, especially since I know Zayn and I just don't match. But no, I'm still here waiting for a miracle to happen.

One tiny miracle.

But no matter what I do, the two of us wouldn't just work out.

And I've already accepted that. I've learned to act like it doesn't matter to me when he holds my hand, or when he hugs me. I've learned how to hide my feelings, because that's what I've been doing for the past 5 years.

I may not be good in singing, but I surely pass at acting unresponsively when he does those stupid things.

The truth is, I get a giddy feeling when he holds my hand. I feel my heart beat when he hugs me. My palms are sweating when I see him shirtless and all those shit.

I love Zayn, I really do. But I can't be with him, and I accept that. Even if it hurts, I try my best to smile when I'm with him. But no matter what, I'll always be his best friend.

I'll always be there to support him. I'll always be the girl he dumped his crayons at, and he'll always be the boy I kicked at the shin. We'll always be the best of friends, and it's not gonna change for a while.

So life doesn't give us purpose. We give purpose to life. And if my purpose here at earth is to help Zayn in whatever he needs help with and just be his best friend..

So be it.

Because, that's what friends are for. And I'll do anything for the people I love.

Ugh, why did I have to fall in love with my best friend?
