Twitter Girl (Out Now!)

January 2013

*Zayn's POV*

I sat in the living room of my childhood home and watched on my computer the ball in New York drop. Even though it's already been New Years here for 6 hours I just felt like watching the New Year be rung in the U.S. I went to the Twitter tab I had opened and I quickly sent a tweet to my fans in the U.S.

@zaynmalik: Happy New Year to the U.S. fans! #2013finallyhere

I scrolled through some of the tweets on my timeline. Seeing nothing interesting I decided to check Avery's profile and see if she's said anything.

@AveryLuvsZayn: It is officially 2013 make new memories and this year better than last year

@AveryLuvsZayn: New year new beginnings new memories new personality

"Zayn what are you doing up?" I hear a voice say

I turn around and see Doniya standing watching me.

"Watching the ball in New York drop. Why are you up?" I answer closing my computer

"I normally get up at this time," she says plopping down on the couch next to me

"At seven in the morning?" I ask looking at her

"Yeah I have to be at work by nine silly," she says messing up my hair

"Hey watch the hair!" I say going to fix it

She laughs and rolls her eyes at me "Same old Zayn,"

I just shot a fake glare at her and cross my arms.

"Oh come on you know I'm only playing with you little brother," she says "Anyway who was that you were looking at on Twitter?"

I turn to look at her and say "I was looking at my profile,"

"Zayn last time I checked your not a girl and your name isn't Avery," she says "Now tell me why were you stalking a girls Twitter?"

"I wasn't stalking it I was just merily looking at it," I say

"Okay so why were you looking at a girl on Twitter?" she asks exasperated

"Because I can," I say

"Zayn come on you can tell me," she says resting her hand on my arm

I look into her eyes and see she's full of curiosity and has that look she always gives me when she knows I'm hiding something from her. Stupid older sibling intuition.

"Because I think I may be in love with her," I say opening my computer again.

Avery's profile was still open and Doniya took the computer from my hand and looked at the picture.

"She's pretty," she says handing the computer back to me

"She's beautiful," I say looking at the picture getting lost in it

"Have you talked to her?" she asks

"No," I say "I just got a tweet from her one day as I was going to follow her but I saw her picture better and just kinda got lost in it and got weird feelings all over my body,"

"Wow I haven't seen you like this since Perrie," she says patting me on the shoulder

"Yeah well this time it's worse. I just don't know what to do," I say putting my head in my hands.

She puts her hand on my back and starts rubbing up and down. I was relaxed when I heard a squek of the floorboards and turned around towards the stairs.

(A/N: Okay so in the story the Malik house for Christmas is set up with the tree in front of the window which is by the front door and the stairs are on the other side. Then by the tree is a arm chair looking towards the TV over the fire place mantle. Then the couch sits across the fire place and looks out the window at a angle but you can still the TV. So good luck imagining that)
