"I can't believe we're doing this. My first time in LA, and my first time in your house. And our first time really going out, and we're going to a freaking movie premiere. There'll be journalists, photographers, the whole deal. What if someone wants to talk to me? I'll start rambling about random stuff, and then you'll see Gigi on the red carpet, realize she's a better fit for you, and—"

"Hey, hey, breathe," Zayn interrupts, his voice carrying that rough, yet comforting edge. He reaches out, placing his hands on my shoulders, giving them a reassuring squeeze. "You're overthinking."

"I know, but what if I embarrass you?" I stammer, feeling the anxiety bubbling up to my throat.

Almost.

The ride to the premiere is a blur of LA lights, the city buzzing with an energy that I'm not used to, and my stomach is in knots by the time we arrive. The second we step onto the red carpet, the flashes of cameras and the hum of voices surround us, closing in like a tightening net.

I cling to Zayn's side, his presence grounding me, until suddenly, it doesn't. People swarm, interviews beckon, and before I know it, we're separated.

I try to hold it together, but my heart starts racing as I find myself standing alone, face
