Chapter 9 : Serenades & Carson

*Fay's P.O.V.*

"Okay everybody! Do not split up! If any of these girls recognize you believe me , they will eat you alive."Edith said seriously as she grabbed us all and lead us through all of the screaming girls.

"We have to find Haya before we can go inside."Edith said as we all looked around for Ed's girlfriend. She should be here somewhere...I got on my tip-toes to try and get a better look but Edith pulled me down.

"I found her , let's go meet up with her and than we are gonna go find out seats before the concert starts."Moni said as she waved us over. We all followed her till we were standing in front of Haya.

"Finally you guys are here! I was starting to get worried , these girls are vicious!"Haya cried as she stared around us. We all laughed lightly as Ed came up next to Haya trying to 'blend in'.

"Hello ladies , you all should really get to your seats before anyone notices you , and I'm surprised no one has , let's go. The concert should start any minute now."Ed said as he lead us into the huge arena.

"Where are our seats?"Ari asked next to me. I shrugged and looked around till I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I whipped around praying that it wasn't a fan and was pleased to see Carson standing in front of me.

"Carson!"I exclaimed loudly as I brought the tall boy into a tight embrace. Carson laughed as he hugged me back equally as tight before we both pulled out of the embrace.

"Fay! Glad I found you , wanna sit together?"He asked. I smiled and nodded as he grabbed my hand. We weaved through people and groups of girls till were at the front row , closest to the stage.

"Best seats in the house."I laughed as I sat down next to him. He just sent me a cheeky smile as he glanced around. We fell into a comfortable silence as I looked around trying to find my group of friends.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen! We hope you all are doing well today , now I know why you all came here today and so I'd like to introduce to you...One Direction!"A voice yelled as the buzzing arena went crazy with screaming girls and guys.

"Hello! We hope you all are doing well today."Liam said as the five boys appeared on the stage smoking and waving. I caught Zayn's eye and he smiled sending me a wink while I smirked at him.

The boys started talking to the fans as I looked around quite amused. These girls said the funniest things and I absolutely loved their signs.

"Okay , well we are currently gonna be singing a song called 'I Would' and I'd like to dedicate it to a very special friend of mine."Zayn smiled as he nodded his head at the band and the music started.

The boys all started singing and I of course , stood up and sang along , I didn't dare dance though , that was something these people did not need to see.

'Would he say he's in L-O-V-E?

Well if it was me, then I would, I would

Would he hold you when you're feeling low?

Baby, you should know that I would, I would'

"So , which one is your best friend?"Carson asked as he stared up at the stage.

"Guess."

"..Harry?"He questioned. I smiled and shook my head as I pointed at Zayn.

"Zayn's my best friend."I replied. Zayn noticed me pointing and he smiled and waved but his smile vanished when he saw how close Carson and I were. I waved back but he ignored me and turned to the guys.

"You bust after this?"Carson asked nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Nope! I'm completely free!"I said smiling at him. I really hope he's gonna ask me what I think he's gonna ask me.

"Well...You want to maybe...hang out after the concert?"He asked hopefully as he looked down at his shoes. I grinned and bit my lip.

"Like..a date?"I asked.

"Well..yeah. Like a date."He smiled.

"I'd love to."I replied honestly. He looked up at me shocked.

"A-Are you serious?"He asked his voice cracking a bit. I giggled as he blushed in embarrassment.

"I'm very serious."I smiled as I grabbed his hand in mine. He looked down at our hands before looking back up at the stage with a smile on his face.

*~*~*

"No! I'm serious! I liberally rode on a pink tricycle , not exactly the coolest thing to do but...I don't have an excuse for it."Carson chuckled while I laughed loudly but I quickly covered my mouth.

"I can't even imagine you on a pink tricycle , oh my that must have been embarrassing."I said after I had calmed down from my laughing fit. Carson smiled and nodded.

"Probably the most embarrassing thing I've ever done to be honest."He chuckled as we continued walking down the pavement till we stopped in front of a little ice cream parlor. He opened the door for me and I smiled and walked in.

"This place is cute."I mused as I looked around , the parlor had white and black checkered floors , colorful walls with old pictures , lots of booths and a ice cream / milkshake bar.

"Hello , what can I get for you?"The woman behind the counter asked as she gave us a warm smile.

"Um...two chocolate chip cookie dough ice creams please."Carson ordered glancing at me but I was to busy admiring the shop. Carson paid and got our ice creams before we went to sit in a booth in the corner.

"I believe it's your turn to tell me an embarrassing story about yourself."He said smirking a bit.

"True , true , it's only fair. I guess one embarrassing moment I've had is when..Okay , I got it! So back when I was younger , zayn and I were dancing on top of desks in one of our classes , and when I was dancing and trying to be 'Cool' , I ended up falling off the desk and landing on my arse."I said shaking my head.

Carson was quiet as he stared at me before he started laughing. I rolled my eyes playfully as I pinched him.

"It wasn't funny!"

"Yeah it was! So , are you and Zayn um..together?"Carson asked as he moved his ice cream around not meeting my eyes.

"No, no! We are not together , I am currently single."I chuckled. Carson smiled and looked up at me. He opened his mouth to say something but he was interrupted by someone stomping up to our table.

"Faylen Monique Villanueva! Where the fuck have you been?"Zayn fumed as he stood in front of the table Carson and I were currently occupying. I looked at him shocked taken back by his sudden outburst.

"I- we-"

"I don't care right now! Come on , we're leaving."He growled as he grabbed my hand and yanked me out of my seat.

"Um excuse me! Carson and I are busy right now , I'll leave when I want to!"I shot back at him as I yanked my hand out of his tight grasp.

"No Fay it's fine , it is getting pretty late. I'll call you."Carson smiled at me as he walked out of the ice cream shop. I turned and glared at Zayn who rolled his eyes.

"Don't give me that look Faylen. I have every right to be mad at you just like you are at me."

"What? I didn't even do anything and your mad at me!"I said incredulously.

"You didn't do anything? Hello! You just left after the concert without telling any of us or at least calling or texting us to tell us where you were! Do you have any idea how worried sick I've been about you?"

I frowned and looked down , feeling guilty.

"You're right , I'm sorry Zayn. I should have told you."I sighed. Zayn's expression softened a bit.

"It's fine , let's just go , I'm not in the mood to deal with this right now and in all honesty I'm not in the mood to deal with you."
