I. His and London's Eye

He said move on where do I go? I guess second best is all I will know'

I watched the London's Eye slowly swivel as the pretty lights around it twinkle through the night sky. We used to love this place, this park, where we can both have a perfect view of the huge wheel. I can even remember the way he promised me to take his first ride on it with me, but unfortunately, we never had the chance of doing it. We were seventeen back then, a small town teenagers exploring this crazy world, clueless on where life will take us. I wonder if he still keeps that promise even if our old times were long gone.

This view could've been better, I would've felt warmth not coldness, if only he was with me - If Zayn was with me. But he is on the other side of the world now, where everybody knows him and the dreadful word 'fame' kept us millions of worlds apart. Yes, I was talking about the famous Zayn Malik from the boy band that everyone seemed to fell in love with – One Direction.

Millions of girls adore each of them, idolize them and love them. I can even remember hearing someone say "One Direction conquers the world". But would you believe me if I say that I was once the only fan of one of them? Apart from his family, I was the only girl who truly loves him, the only girl who believed in everything that he can do – the only girl for him. I was once his world and he was mine but since he joined the X Factor, everything changed.

Zayn Malik, once conquered my world – and I think he still does.

I know he knew that but he still left me.

He thought that he wasn't the right one for me. He said he'll only hurt me in one way or another and he doesn't want our relationship to end in a bad way. And so he let's go of me and to all the things that we had.

"Let's go Anna, the snow will fall anytime soon" Al wrapped his arm around my shoulder, rubbing it so I'll stay warm. "Are you okay?" he asked calmly, his voice made me feel his concern for me. I just nodded whilst giving him a small smile. We walked down the block to his car. He tightened his grip on my arms just enough to remind me that I have someone like him who'll stay by my side.

Zayn made me choose Al, our childhood friend. They knew each other since first grade and they're best mates. I can say that the three of us grew up together considering that our families are really close. The three of us grew up in Bradford, that small town where all the best memories I had with Zayn were kept. I wish I could turn back time where all we knew was to dream about what we wanted to be in the future and make him remember that being a teacher was his ultimate dream – not being an unreachable pop star.

Zayn knew Al's feelings for me since then. That's why he trusted the lad. He said that Al would be best for me, Al will take care of me and will love me the way he loves me, or maybe even more. Zayn wanted me to think of him as something good that happened to me...but how.

How can Al be the best for me when all I've ever wanted was him? How can Al love me the way he did, when his love was something different that surely cannot be replaced by anyone else. The way I feel every time he's near me was a feeling I never felt when I'm with Al. I may somehow like Al but the way Zayn brought gazillion butterflies dancing on my tummy every time his eyes met mine was something different. I cannot specify how, or when did I fell for him this deep. All I know is I wanted him to be with me forever. He's the man I planned my future with and what we had was something I never imagined that would end.
