Disappear [A Zayn Malik Fanfiction]

[Zayn's POV]

I'm sitting on the couch at my flat, thinking about what had happened a year ago from today. I know it's weird remembering what happened a year ago when I have so much on my mind, but this moment just stuck to my brain like glue. The more I sat here and thought about it, the sadder I got. Suddenly, tears started strumming down my face. They couldn't stop.

Ariana meant everything to me. Until she died exactly on this day, exactly a year ago.

A YEAR BEFORE....

[Ariana's POV]

"OMG! I almost forgot! You've got to meet my friend Zayn!" My best friend, Carter, exclaimed way too loudly.

A few people were staring at us since Carter had announced it to the universe. I gulped and eyed her, trying to ignore the stares we were getting.

"Sure, just don't shout like that again, 'kay?" I plastered a fake smile on my face, as Carter laughed like she knew I was being sarcastic, but I really wasn't. She stopped laughing and instead started hitting my shoulder. What was her problem?

Suddenly a boy with black hair, and a blonde stripe in his hair approached us. Ooh, I get it Carter. I shot her a look, basically a smirk and half a wink, but she shook her head and pointed at me. Which meant "no, he's your crush".

Carter and I stopped shooting signs at each other when the boy came up close enough for us well to smell his breath. Kidding. I didn't want to.

"Hi." He said with a white pearl, full-length smile. I could hear Carter giggling beside me, but I nugded her.

"Um hi," I greeted him back. Carter held up a tray of cinammon rolls and handed them to me as if she wanted me to ask the boy if he wanted to have one or something.

I looked at her blankly, but took the tray anyway. Not knowing what to do for a few seconds, Carter kicked my shin so hard she could kick away my ankle. I groaned in pain, forgetting there was a cute guy standing in front of me. Remembering, I pretended it was just a cough.

"Um, do you want to- t-try a finammon- I mean kinammon-" I stammered. WHY WAS I TALKING SO STUPIDLY?? Did I suddenly forget what language I speak just because I'm talking to someone hot?

"She means CINAMMON!" Carter whisper shouted into my face. I nodded, holding out the tray for the boy. He kind of laughed, and took a cinammon roll. I noticed the tray was now wobbling like crazy. I hoped he didn't notice, because I was VERY nervous for some reason.

"I'm Zayn," He said with a few pieces of the cinammon roll in his mouth. Wow. What kind of boy does that? It's not a bad thing..to me. It seemed very attractive at the moment. Because of him.

"I'm Ariana and that's-" Carter kicked my shin again. I groaned this time, feeling like it was okay to groan now.

"He already knows me," She smiled at me, then looked at Zayn. "Yeah, that's Ariana."

I shyly waved, then gritted my teeth, whispering to Carter. "You didn't have to kick my shin to tell me that."

She gritted her teeth back. "I know. I just wanted to see if you would groan in front of Zayn this time. He thinks it sounds cute when a girl does that."

My eyes widened, but then they went back to normal, so it didn't seem obvious in any subject.

"Well, since this is a Christmas party, shouldn't there be mistletoe?" Zayn asked Carter, finishing his cinammon roll. Why would he be asking a question as silly as that?

"There is mistletoe," My friend replied back. "Why?"

Good Carter. Let's see what he says.

"Because I wanted to know when a couple was gonna kiss under the mistletoe." He replied, eyeing his watch. "Oh yeah! Midnight. I forgot. Who's gonna kiss?" Zayn asked another question.

"Um, I don't know. Emily and Corey, I think." Carter looked over at Emily and Corey, a couple who went to our school. They've been going out for about 2 and a half years now.

"Wow. Well okay, see you around. Tell me if you change your mind." Zayn waved and walked away.

"SQUEE! THAT WAS SO OBVIOUS-" Before Carter could say anything else, I kicked her shin as hard as I could and covered her mouth. That was best friend abuse right there, but I didn't care. I already warned her not to shout like that.

"On the count of 3, i'm going to let go of your mouth. When I release you, you will tell me in your normal voice. Got that?" Carter nodded. I nodded as well, and started counting. "1, 2, 3."

She sighed, then took a deep breath. "That was so obvious was Zayn did. He wanted to kiss you under the mistletoe!"

I shook my head, staring at her, although I kind of agreed. "No way."

Of course Carter didn't like what I said. "Yes!! Come on, I changed my mind. You're gonna kiss Zayn under the mistletoe!"

My jaw dropped as I gazed at Carter for what seemed like a decade. ME? ZAYN? WE BARELY KNOW EACH OTHER!! Even though I was kinda happy and lovestruck about the idea of kissing Zayn, I still had a bad feeling of what could happen after that.

It was 11:15 PM. I only had 45 minutes to convince Carter to change her mind. AGAIN!!
