Demi's POV
Liam has invited me to one of their concerts tonight in L.A.
I mean I guess I could go, I can talk to Zayn after.
I pick up my phone, not hesitating to text Liam.
*I'll be there :)*
*Great :)*
I need to go take a shower, do my makeup, and hair, and pick out something to dress.
Zayn's POV
"You gonna be okay tonight mate?" Liam startles me, while I was shaving.
"Yea, gotta do what ya gotta to" I try to press on a smile.
I finish shaving, and hop in the shower. I get on my clothes and get out my every so boring phone.
No texts from Demi.
Odd.
"When do we have to leave?" I ask Liam.
"10 minutes" he says right as Harry, Louis, and Niall walk in.
I put my head down and walk back to my room.
It is going to be a long night.
Demi's POV
I finally finish my hair and makeup. It is now like 5 o clock and I need to text my driver.
*hey, I need to go to one directions concert tonight please.*
*okay I will be there at 6:30*
I don't know what else to do now. I just walk around this hotel suite, probably looking like an idiot. I'll text Zayn.
*hey guess what?*
*what?*
*im coming tonight!!*
*agh really?!?!*
*yess! :D*
*cant wait!*
It is now 6:30 and before I know it, we are at the arena.
I go backstage when someone stops me.
"Name?"
"Oh, Demi Lovato"
"Okay, Zayn & Liam are the 5th door in the left"
I nod and walk off. Well how convient.
The closer I get, the more anticipation.
My hands are trembling when I fidget before knocking on their door.
Liam immediately opens.
"DEMIIII!!!!" He says and gives me a big hug.
"Hey" I say with a smile.
I walk over to Zayn and give him a hug.
"Hey" I say with a smile.
"Hello" he says and motions for me to sit down on the couch next to him.
"So when do y'all go on?"
"40 minutes I think" Zayn says.
"Liam, what are you doing?" I ask while he is rummaging through random makeup.
I feel Zayn tense. I put my hand on his knee signaling him to relax.
Before I know it, we are walking out of the dressing room.
We approach Niall & Harry and they ignore me, what douches.
I see Louis and he greets me with a smile.
"Hi Demi" he says.
"Hello" I say returning the smile.
"5 minutes boys" I hear one of the crew members say.
I pull Zayn behind a curtain when I see his fists clench by his side.
"Hey" I say looking up at him.
"Don't worry about them. Worry about singing tonight" I say with a smile.
He pulls me into a hug before I hear a crew member.
"Now boys" he looks at me.
I smile and nod, signaling him to go.
He walks off, and one of the crew members takes me to the side of the stage.
I finally get my seat.
I am greeted by a curly haired girl, with great posture from first impressions.
"Hi, I'm Danielle, Liam's girlfriend." She says friendly.
"Oh, hi" I give her a sly smile before sitting down.
The show starts, and I automatically see Zayn. He is not in a good mood.
He is distancing himself from the boys and I wish I could just push then together.
They start off with Live While Where Young, Danielle and I singing along.
They continue with Kiss You, Little Things, and Summer Love.
They continue singing their next song, although I don't know what it's called.
I look up to Zayn with tears in his eyes infront of thousands of people.
Danielle looks over at me.
"What?"
"Shh" I say trying to listen to the lyrics.
* Never felt like this before
Are we friends or are we more?
As I'm walking towards the door
I'm not sure*
The other boys continue, Zayn with his head down.
His second solo comes up, and I'm suddenly scared.
*But baby if you say you want me to stay
I'll change my mind
'Cause I don't wanna know I'm walking away
If you'll be mine
Won't go, won't go
So baby if you say you want me to stay, stay for the night*
He suddenly stops and darts of stage, the crowd gasps.
Danielle gives me this look.
"Please go talk to him, Liam told me" she says and I nod.
I run to the other side, no caring about any security.
My heart is beating so fast, as I run to his dressing room.
"Zayn" I say and let out a big sigh.
He keeps looking down, this is the second time in a week, yet he doesn't know that I know about Liam.
"Hey" I said putting my arm around his neck, comforting him.
"It's okay" I say rubbing his neck.
"No Demi. It's not okay. You heard those lyrics, it embarrasses me. I've NEVER felt like this okay, it's scaring me." he says and my heart drops.
"I-I" I begin.
"No you know what, it was my mistake. I shouldn't feel like this, and it's just stupid of me. I- I" he says and walks towards the door.
No, I am not letting his fragile heart slip away.
"Zayn, stop right there" I say in a commanding tone.
He freezes dead in his tracks.
"Sit down" I command and he looks frightened.
He walks over to the couch.
I face him on the couch, clearing my throat.
"What if I told you that every time we hung out in these past weeks, I always wanted to be alone with you? What if I told you that I always wanted to text you or call you? What if I told you Liam told me about you coming to him when Harry & Niall were getting to much? Liam told me everything, but don't get mad at him. He told me how you were about me and it only made me... made me..." I hesitate, his eyes burning deep into mine.
"made me fall for you more. Trust me, I didn't except for this to happen either, but I can't change wait happened. So what if I told you, I mean those exact lyrics, just the way you meant them towards me?" I say not sure of his reaction.
"Is that better?" I ask.
He cups both of my hands in his.
"You have no, I mean no idea how much I wanted you to say that. I don't even know what to say"
"Then don't say anything" I turn to lay my head on his shoulder.
Next thing I know Harry is barging in.
No, not him, not now. First Niall, now him. What fucking next?
