ZAYN'S POV

"Can we strike a Disney Princess pose ?" , a seven year old girl with gray eyes politely asked us.

The meet-and- greet with fans was almost over since this little angel was the last person to meet us. We had been posing for photographs and signing autographs for our fans since the past two hours and considering the hiatus today had been for me , I was particularly exhausted , mentally counting the minutes left so that I could merrily cuddle with Allana to sleep. Although I had one major task pending to be completed which was to talk to Niall privately.

When did talking to one of my best mates become a task for me ? Jeez it surely drives me crazy to see just how fast the night changes.

" Sure love , tell me which is your favorite Disney princess ?" Harry asked the little girl bending down to be at eye-level with her.

" I really like Snow White. She is beautiful and kind-hearted." She replied back to Harry , flashing him a bright smile , revealing a missing front tooth.

" Alright then my dear little Snow White we will be the friendly dwarves for you. Boys , get down on your knees and surround our Princess." Liam instructed us as the little girl beamed.

" Louis , there is no need for you to get on your knees , you are already a midget." Harry snickered at him playfully while Louis glared at him.

" Liam is Doc because he is the smartest , Zayn is Bashful because he is shy , Harry is Dopey because he is weird , Louis is Grumpy because he looks angry right now and Niall is Happy because he always makes me happy." She said pointing her little finger at each one of us while stating her winsome explanation.

" Happy is my favorite and so are you Niall." She said tugging at Niall's sleeve who gave her genuine smile as he hugged her.

"You are my favorite too doll." He told her as we took our positions to click the pictures.

" The kid is smart Haz , she knows you are weird." Liam nudged Harry who stuck his tongue out at Liam in retaliation.

In my peripheral vision I saw Allana intently watching us , with a clipboard and pen in her hands. Her eyes were still swollen from shedding tears over the heated exchange of words between her and Niall . I had held her in my arms consoling her while she sobbed , her tears soaking my white button-up shirt. I loathed it when she cried especially when I was partially involved for causing sorrow to her. If I had not fallen for her , if only I had maintained my friendship with her there would be no reason for a squabble between Niall and her. Truth be told , I never expected myself to surrender my heart willingly to any girl after my horrific experience with Perrie but then again Allana was just not any other girl.

She was the lyrics to the song of my life , the soothing melody which comforted me when I felt low and the most amazing high note I had struck. She was the person I found solace in , she made the world seem like an illusion with only her being my gorgeous reality. She had made me believe that relationships simply required honesty , trust , care and love. Loving someone did not mean gifting expensive objects to each other , splurging on luxurious dinners or vacations , adoring only the physical attributes of an individual without taking the initiative to understand the beauty of their soul. In a world where love in synonymous with materialistic objects abstaining from its actual meaning , Allana Francis had made me acquainted with this sacred emotion in the most realistic sense.
