Danielle, Eleanor, Harmony, Lou, and I sat on the side of the stage where the boys were performing at. The concert had started thirty minutes ago and Niall was saying his thank you to the fans.

Eleanor and Danielle had excused themselves to go to the restroom and Lou had gone to check on Lux, leaving Harmony and I alone while the boys were now singing C'mon C'mon.

Harry was singing his solo at the moment as they got on the mini stage that took them to the center stage of the arena. He took one glance in our direction and caught a glimpse of Harmony before grinning and giving her a wink, causing her to blush.

I beamed at her and she blushed even more, embarrassed that I had caught her all loved up over my best friend.

"How long have you two been together?" I asked her.

"We've been together since June so about 11 months but we've had a break up in between." She answered after her cheeks had cooled down.

"Holy shit, almost a year!" Asshole didn't tell me he's been dating someone for a year?!

"Yeah." She nodded with a smile.

"Are you guys going to do anything special?"

"I don't know." She shrugged and glanced at the curly haired boy who was attempting to do a hand stand but failed when he fell down, earning cheers and laughs from the crowd.

We took a small pause as we saw the five goofs playing around on stage with each other, and yet the crowd still found this intriguing. It was because they were just normal boys who happened to sing. But they deserved everything they've gained, and no matter what, the fans would always have their back.

"I love him." Harmony spoke minutes later, turning to look at me. "He makes me happy." Her cheeks had turned into a soft pink as she spoke about him.

"And you make him happy, we can all tell." I grinned at her.

She grinned back, looking at the boy who had caught her heart.

"Next question," Louis read from the screen on stage. "Do you like American accents?"

Niall and Liam both said yes, and Zayn was about to answer but Harry beat him to it.

"You love American accents, don't ya Zayn?" What an asshole, I knew what he was doing..

"Um yeah, I find them interesting.." Zayn mumbled, clearly knowing where Harry was headed.

"It's a bit more than interesting, don't you say mate?" Harry smirked and I swear Zayn wanted to kick his ass for teasing him about me.

"Fuck you," Zayn laughed, the other boys grinning from ear to ear. "Don't be teasing me about my girlfriend when Mick and I clearly saw what you and your girl were up to backstage."

The crowd awed and whistled while Harry blushed and looked down, earning laughs from the crowd, the boys, the girls who now returned, and myself.

Backstage after the show, the boys were getting ready to go on the tour bus, Liam and Louis had already left with both Eleanor and Danielle.

Meanwhile, Niall was on the phone with Demi in the kitchen, I was waiting for Zayn to get dressed, and Harmony and Harry were speaking amongst themselves.

"I'll just go get my bag," Harmony told Harry before pecking him on the lips and escaping his arms before going out of the room, leaving Harry and I alone.

Harry glanced at me and quickly grinned at my frown on my face.

"Come on," he chuckled, walking to me. "You can't still be mad."

"Maybe I still am, asshole," I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Mickey," Harry continued to laugh.

"Harry."

"Please don't be mad." He frowned. "Please." He begged, a pout on his lips.

I sighed, knowing I couldn't stay mad at my best friend. "Fine."

"Yay!" He cheered, throwing his arms in the air before wrapping his arms around me and giving me a hug.

"This is the last time your ass keeps something from me, okay?"

"Okay."

"Anyways," I spoke after we let go. "I approve."

Sparks glinted in his eyes. "Really?"

"Of course I do." I laughed. "She's everything I could've hoped for you and I can see how happy she makes you. I really am happy for you, Haz."

Harry nodded, all seriousness in his eyes. This truly meant everything to him. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me longer than before. "Thanks Mick."

April 24

Weeks passed, and I hadn't seen Zayn ever since the boys' football match with Doncaster United, apart from Zayn because he wasn't sporty and he was a lazy ass.

Their tour in London had ended on Doniya's birthday and the families and the girls and I went.

They were now touring Europe and I was touring Europe also, but my tour was ahead of theirs.

After weeks apart, Zayn and I were meeting in Paris, close to where the boys' next show would be.

They had a day off and not all the boys were here yet, Liam's flight would be landing in a few hours, Louis was still in London saying good bye to Eleanor and his family, Niall was picking up Demi from the London airport before they headed here, and Harry was in LA with Harmony.

It amazed me that now all the boys had their own relationships, there was always one who didn't but it made me happy that they had their own person to go to just like I had with Zayn.

The thought of seeing Zayn in a couple of minutes still gave me butterflies in my stomach. He would always have this effect on me.

To: Baby ❤️

I see it! I'll see you soon (; x

From: Baby ❤️

Okay babe (; x

I looked up from my phone and grinned at the sight in front of me.

Zayn could be told apart from all the other people in Paris by how tall he was and by his looks. Nobody could look as attractive as he could.

He looked up as soon as I saw him and he immediately grinned when he saw me. I grinned back before running to him and embracing him in my arms.

"You're here."

"I am. Always."
