Zayn's POV**

As I struggle to open my eyes, I run my fingers through my hair.

Our first concert is in two days so we've been practicing like crazy.

I've lately been trying to tell Ally that ever since I met her when we were sixteen, ive been in love with her but I'm scared that she doesn't love me back and I don't know how to tell her that will be special enough.

The way she laughs. The way her brown eyes sparkle in the sunlight. How I wait hours to spend minutes with her. The way she puts a smile on my face that never goes away.

Eleanor is coming over later. I'll talk to her.

I get out of bed and put on black skinny jeans, a tee and my red high tops.

I fix my hair and make my way to Ally and Louis' room.

Louis is awake but ignores me when I walk over to Ally's bed. She is so cute when she is asleep. I sit beside her and start to sing.

"I've been waiting on the sunset

Bills on my mindset

I can't deny they're getting high

Higher than my income

Incomes bread crumbs

I've been trying to survive

The glow that the sun gets

Right around sunset

Helps me realize

This is just a journey

Drop your worries

You are gonna turn out fine.

Oh, you turn out fine.

Fine, oh, you turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

You gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know it's hard,

To remember sometimes,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I've got my hands in my pockets,

Kicking these rocks.

It's kinda hard to watch this life go by.

I'm buying into skeptics,

Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes

I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled

I start to compromise

My life and the purpose.

Is it all worth it?

Am I gonna turn out fine?

Oh, you'll turn out fine.

Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

You gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know it's hard,

To remember sometimes,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

Only rainbows after rain

The sun will always come again.

It's a circle, circling,

Around again, it comes around again.

I said,

Only rainbows after rain

The sun will always come again.

It's a circle, circling,

Around again, it comes around,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

You gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know it's hard

To remember sometimes,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

Keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

Keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

Keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down.

I said oooh"

I sit still as Ally's eyes slowly open.

"GO AWAY ZAYN!" She screams rolling over and pulling the covers over her face.

"Most girls would be thrilled to have Zayn Malik sing to them in the morning!" I pout pulling a sad face.

"Whatever" she says into her pillow. "I'm getting changed" she says pushing me off the bed.

*******************************************************************************************

She walks back in wearing a black skirt, black crop top and booties. She is so pretty.

She walked in the kitchen and makes breakfast.

"Do I look ok?" She asks

"Do I need to say when the answer is so obvious?" I reply my head tilting to the side.

"Do I look ugly?!?!" She yells stomping her feet.

"NO you look beautiful!" I mimic her voice.

"GOOD" she answers passing me a roll with chicken.

I scoff it down as she takes small nibbles.

We were interrupted by a knock on the door and Ally and I race each other seeing who gets there first. Even though I won, Ally opens the door and Eleanor comes out, giving out hugs.

Louis sprinted to the door as soon as he heard 'hellos'.

After an hour of the girls chatting and Louis and Eleanor kissing I decide to ask Eleanor how to tell Ally that I love her.

My steps are slow as I make my way to the couch.

"Eleanor, can I ask for your advice?"
