One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter 16

 Back to Zara's P.O.V

Since the accident, Louis hadn't left my side. He'd come everywhere with me, making sure I was ok. In fact, he was even staying at my house. And with him in it, my bed felt so much warmer- more complete. And just waking up to his face was amazing.

Today, Louis and I were going shopping. Now that it was Summer, I needed lots of new clothes- plus I needed a dress for my birthday party, which was a week away on August the third.

I picked up my phone and called Louis, who answered quickly. He told me he was on his way, so I got everything I needed ready, stuffing a few notes into my purse. And after checking my hair, I ran downstairs to get the door.

"Hey, babe. You look lovely." He smiled. He had some kind of power. That, or he just loved seeing me blush. My cheeks flushed red- after so long he could still do that.

He chuckled and I looked back up at him. He was wearing orange shorts and a navy and white striped top, with navy Toms to match. Although, to be honest, he could dress up as a tomato and still look fit.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "Bye, mum!" She replied to me, and then I followed Louis to his car, getting in the passenger seat. Today was a Saturday, and in two day's time it would be my last day of college. Finishing on a Monday is weird, I know, but it was the crazy mind's of those who ran the college.

"Excited?" Louis asked me, extending his hand out to me. I took it.

"About what?"

"Your birthday!"

"Oh," I began. "Well, yeah, I guess." I was having a big party, but everyone else- as in my friends and Louis- were planning it. So all I had to do was turn up. I had to admit, I was quite nervous about what it would be like. But with Lilly in charge- Penny, Layla and Farah helping her- I knew it would be ok.

It wasn't long before we arrived at the shopping centre. I hopped out of the car excitedly, and then Louis and I walked hand in hand to the doors. The first shop we went in was called Bella's, and it was a small clothes shop which I quite liked. I was hoping to find a nice dress in here.

No way. Bella's was full of Summer clothes- no dresses. I did pick up a few outfits, but nothing for the party. Louis and I walked around for ages until a legs and arms hurt.

"Last shop, I promise." I told Louis, who looked exhausted carrying four bags.

He nodded, and we walked into a shop called Spice. I didn't usually like the stuff in here, but I still hoped that I might find a good dress.

"Wow!" I gasped. I picked up a short light pink dress, and held it up to myself. It was way too big.

"That's nice." Louis commented. "But you need to find your size." I looked back to where I'd got the dress, but there were no others there. I walked over to someone who worked in the shop.

"Do you have this dress in an eight?" I asked. The man took the dress off me and began speaking into a walkie-talkie.

"I'm sorry, madame, no." I sighed. That dress had been perfect. The man saw the look on my face.

"We're getting a delivery tomorrow, some more of those dresses might come." My eyes lit up.

"Really?" He nodded. "I'll come back tomorrow!" I ran back over to Louis, and told him about the situation.

"Ok, we'll come tomorrow." He replied. We walked back to the car, and put the bags in the boot, before driving off back home.
