Lost Souls And Lullabies (A Zayn Malik Fanfic)

Chapter 5 ~ Falling For You

+ Zayn's Point of View + 

I was just about to open my mouth and say something to the beautiful girl ahead of me, but then I heard something.

Footsteps. In the hallway.

Oh shit, I thought and stepped aside so that the girl couldn't see me. I was lucky, she hadn't gotten a chance to see me before I made my move. What if she had? Maybe she would have started to scream so that she woke the whole household up. Her little sister and the two other girls.

And how did I know that she had two other girls staying the night?, you might wonder. Well, my father always told me not to lie, so... I had been walking around the house tonight. I didn't mean to be a creep or so, I really didn't. I just couldn't help it! I had to see more of that girl, and then she invited her friends and... If it wasn't for them, then maybe I would've gotten a chance to introduce myself and actually talk to her. 

But what if she actually couldn't see me? Or hear me? I mean, she sure heard me play the piano. But my voice? Did she hear it? Did she think about it as much as I thought about hers?

Okey, this was totally starting to get weird. I was probably invisible for her human eyes.

But aren't you human, Zayn?

Well, I don't know what I am anymore...

"Hello?" The beautiful girl said with a shaky voice. She was scared. Poor girl. I didn't mean to scare her? I just wanted to--

"Audrey?", said another voice, and the footsteps were coming closer.

"Audrey...", I said quiet to myself. So Audrey was the name of my beautiful girl? Sweet. It sounded like a flower, and Audrey was just as pretty as a flower.

"Jaclyn?", said Audrey, and the girl named Jaclyn turned the lights on.

"What are you doing?" Jaclyn yawned and stretched her arms out in the air. She didn't notice me, so I guess she couldn't see me at all.

"I had a bad dream again, and then I got thirsty and...", Audrey explained. "I thought you were a serial killer!"

"I'm sorry", said Jaclyn and yawned again. "Irini hit me in her sleep so I woke up, and then you weren't there so I just wanted so see where you had gone..."

"Okey, well let's go back to bed then."

Audrey turned out the light, and then the girls walked towards her bedroom again. I hesitated for a moment, but after a while I decided to follow them. When I was sure they had all fallen back to sleep again, I opened the door and walked into the room. Jaclyn and the other girl slept on a mattress on the floor, and Audrey was lying in her own bed.

I sneaked across the room, careful not to step on the girls. I didn't even know if they would be able to feel the weight of my body, but I had to be careful, just in case. 

Audrey looked like a little princess while sleeping. That kind of princess you wanted to wake with a kiss. But first of all, I couldn't wake her. Not here, not now. And for the record, could she even feel my lips placed on hers? And we didn't know each other. She didn't know who I was. She hadn't seen me. Maybe she never even would.

Okey, that made my heart sunk.

Sure, I didn't really know Audrey. But I knew enough to know that I have feelings for her. The kind of feelings I've never had before for any girl. The kind of feelings my dad had for my mom, and vice versa.

I, Zayn Malik, was falling for this human.

Oh Audrey...

I stretched out my arm to reach her hand, but I did not dare to touch it. She looked so peaceful while sleeping. I didn't want that to go away, and if I touched her, then maybe I'd wake her. I turned my head to the other girls. They were sleeping, and you could see on their faces that they were far away right now. Maybe in a land with unicorns, flying pigs, singing flowers and such my little sisters always talked about.

Singing... Maybe I could sing to Audrey? I mean, if the other ones couldn't see me, then they probably couldn't hear me either. 

I started to go through my memory, looking for a song to sing. I had alot of blackouts from my time as a real human, and some of the songs I used to know had gone with it.

I cleared my throat a little, and then I started to sing with a quiet and calm voice. 

"Within a minute I was all packed up

I've got a ticket to another world

I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go

Sudden words are hard to speak

When your thoughts are all I see

"Don't ever leave", she said to me

When we both fall asleep underneath the same sky

To the beat of our hearts at the same time

So close but so far away

Can you hear me?

She sleeps alone

My heart wants to come home

I wish I was, I wish I was beside you

She lies awake

I'm trying to find the words to say

I wish I was, I wish I was beside you..."

A big smile was placed on her perfect lips, and I couldn't help but smile too. She was so beautiful, it was unbelieveble.

I bit my lip and reached out to touch a strand of her long, shiny red hair. It was soft. It was softer than grass on a summer day. And I bet it was smelling good too. But I didn't dare to smell it. I shouldn't be too close, in case she woke up.

I wondered how it would be to hold her in my arms. To give her a kiss on the cheek and tickle her small body. I wondered what it would be like, to have her looking me in the eyes. What it would feel like if she touched my hair or kissed my lips. So much questions, but no answers.

I knew this was wrong. I shouldn't think about Audrey in that way. She was a human. And what was I? ... Dead?

I didn't know, and I was so confused.

Thanks for reading, I know it's short. But I'm really busy since I just got home and so on (I've been in Stockholm for a few days. Shopping and such, for those of you who didn't know.), so this is all I have time for right now because I really really really wanted to give you a chapter tonight. But as I said, I'll do my best to update more often. I really miss wattpad, but I think I'm finding my way back. :)
