ZAYN'S POV:
Sitting with Grace at the premiere of This Is Us was the most perfect thing that could ever be. She had her head buried in my t-shirt under my collarbone.
It was nice to get out of a suit and tie coming into the theatre from the black carpet interviews and pictures. We were dressed almost the same. I was in my black v-neck and favorite grey sweatpants. Grace was in her black One Direction t-shirt and grey sweatpants with the word "Carver" written down the leg. She had gone to school, and lived, in America, but she came everywhere with us. She lived life on the road with us and opened up for us at every concert we performed at the Take Me Home Tour.
I knew this part of the movie. It didn't show any part of Danielle or Eleanor, but it showed Grace and gave her a little section because I wanted to show the world our story and how much I loved her.
She saw her performance of her song "This Could Be Forever" on the screen and covered her face with her mouth. "Zayn," she whispered to me.
"Yes babe," I answered.
"What am I doing on the screen?" Grace laughed.
"Surprise." I hugged her. I felt her laughing on my shoulder.
The movie kept playing and it showed a clip of us walking into the O2 Arena holding hands.
"I can't explain it," I said. The screen switched to tweets we both have tweeted.
"@GraceKellyMusic: who else gets to say they've opened up for 1D love you all so much & this is all because of you❤"
"@zaynmalik1d: @GraceKellyMusic you did amazing I love you xx"
"@Harry_Styles: looking at these two makes me sick. blehhh .x"
"@NiallOfficial: tonight was amazing! thank you to all the fans and @GraceKellyMusic we love you sis!"
"@GraceKellyMusic: tonight> the fans were incredible and @onedirection was amazing as always. now for a night of relaxation well spent with my love(:"
"@zaynmalik1d: me & my babyyy @GraceKellyMusic" (with a picture)
"@Harry_Styles: still blehhh"
"@Real_Liam_Payne: there's no relationship like @zaynmalik1d and @GraceKellyMusic love these two" (with a picture)
"There's no one that makes me feel like she does, so I needed that feeling with me at all times to keep me going. So she's opening for us," I explained.
"Ladies, One Direction's Zayn Malik is off the market, and he sure is happy! Twitter has been blowing up with 1D tweets from the boys and Grace Kelly, with adorable and funny tweets about their relationship," a TV news cast reported.
"She wasn't with me during Up All Night, and it was so hard talking to her. And it was a test to see if we could make it through, and we passed. But I didn't want to take it again for ten whole months."
"He was a wreck for the last week and was just dying to see her," Harry said.
"She's like a sister to all of them. But Zayn was in bed every night and only got 4 hours of sleep at the most for the last week of the tour, and that was because he stayed up all night talking on the phone to Grace," Paul said to the interviewers.
"Zayn doesn't count in this case because I'm talking about best friends. She's closest with Niall. And he would talk to her a lot more than the rest of us. They're the best of friends," Liam said. "But we all talked to her all the time and we were just gutted that we couldn't see her at all."
"I tell her everything, and without her it was painful for all of us," Niall said before the next part.
There was an emotional scene that came next, and I had remembered this phone call like it was yesterday.
I dialed, I called, and she answered.
"Hello Zayn," her angel voice said on the screen.
"Zayn, this was recorded?!" Grace smiled next to me. I kissed her on the side of her head for the longest time.
"Hi darling, you ok?" I asked her.
Watching this back was amazing.
"I'm ok, how are you?" Grace asked.
"I'm great, I miss you though."
"Aw I miss you too. Is it fun?"
"Yes, it's amazing. What do you think of the UK?"
"I love it. Can you believe the timing of these tours? We switched places."
"I know, I'm leaving San Diego right now, I have my last show tomorrow, then I'll see you at your show."
"I'm so proud of you guys, you don't understand," she said.
"You're gonna make me cry shut up," I replied.
"I'm already crying..."
"Aw babe, why?"
"I miss you guys so much."
"We miss you too; you have no clue how much we miss you. But you miss me the most right?" I jokingly asked. She laughed at me.
"Of course. I love you Zayn, I have to go."
"I love you too. Goodnight."
I began to cry after hanging up the phone. I then felt a wet spot on the place on my shirt where Grace's head was. She was crying.
"Babe," I said as I comforted her.
The screen came up with a picture of the sunrise and it said "Nine Months Later" on the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
Grace called me that morning and it was recorded, too.
"Hey Zayn, did you text me last night after I hung up?"
"Yeah, I wanted to ask you someth- oh, sorry, WE wanted to ask you something," I told her.
"Hi Grace!" the boys screamed.
"Boys!" Grace laughed.
"So are you ready? Who's gonna ask her?" Niall said.
"We'll let Grace pick," Harry said.
"Grace, pick a number between 1 and 10 but don't tell us. The closest number gets to ask her," Liam added.
"Uh...ok I got it. 3, 2, 1!" she said as we all screamed out our numbers. Louis was the closest.
"Grace are you sitting or standing?" Louis asked.
"I'm sitting, why?"
"Stand up!" Harry, Niall, Liam, and I all screamed.
"Ok I'm standing. What did you want to ask me?"
"Grace, do you want to open up for us in the Take Me Home Tour?" Louis asked.
"Oh my god!" Grace screamed over the phone. The whole theatre was laughing, while Grace was crying.
"Of course! I can't wait!" she said over the phone. We all screamed and freaked out. Then the scene faded and it went to the next scene.
It was when Grace and I saw each other for the first time since we had that phone call. She got off the plane in London and I was right outside the gateway. She dropped all of her bags and threw her arms around me, and that was all it showed of her.
"To think that if none of that happened that this wouldn't have happened," I said to her. I lifted her hand up and we both took a glance at the ring.
"I can't wait until the day I get to say I do," I added.
"Why not say it now?" Grace said.
"What?"
"No, not like that. Tell me you'll be with me forever. Just say I do and that's all I need. Not another thing from you ever again."
"I do," I said into her beautiful eyes. "I do I do I do, infinity times I do."
"So do I," she laughed as she kissed me. I played with her ring through the whole kiss.
It was like everything was perfect. I was getting married to this flawless girl.
