Roxanne's POV

College was the highlight if my life. It was great, Way better than miserable highschool.

I had friends. People liked me. I was actually socialising.

I was dong good in my classes. Everything was going perfect. I had a boyfriend.

My grandfather was right. My life did get better. I just had to believe, think positive.

My phoned buzzed.

1 new message from Zayn<3:

Hey,the girls are here. Were about to go. I'll swing by your dorm in a few. ;)

Dani and Eleanor were coming to visit. The boys and us were all going out to dinner.

I had completely forgot. I was so busy with studying for exams.

It was 6:30 p.m. and I still wasn't even dressed yet.

After minutes of rummaging through my closet, I decided on an outfit.

Some boots, white skinny jeans, and a blue and black checkered tee. Basic, but I didn't really have anything else to wear.

There was a knock at the door and. I knew it was Zayn. When I opened it, he was leaning against the door frame.

"Well, hello there sir. Have you seen Zayn anywhere?"

"Why no, I'm afraid I haven't. How about I escort you to dinner instead?" He held out his arm.

I chuckled and gladly excepted it.

"Come on the van is outside."

-

Dani and El practically tackled me and pulled me into the van.

"Roxy! We missed you girl!" Eleanor shouted.

I was pulled into a bear hug as soon as I got in the van.

Oh how I missed those girls.

We went out to this loud and lively restaurant/ bar.

Loud rock music filled my ears as we went to our table.

The music was soon cut short, and they announced that it was karaoke night.

I kind of wanted to do it, but I decided not to. I didn't really have a good singing voice, and I was to nervous.

But all of a sudden, I was up there on the small stage singing.

"Everyday, is so wonderful. But suddenly, it'd hard to breathe..."

Zayn gave me a thumbs up to keep going. So I did.

"Now and then I get insecure from all the pain. I'm so ashamed. I am beautiful, no matter what they say, words can't bring me down...."

The whole time I was singing I was staring at Zayn, and thinking of my whole life as a montage.

All the bad moments, to good moments.

The bad was in the past now, behind me. Now it was time for me to move forward, onto good things.

I looked over at my friends. These amazing people were my friends. They helped me all get through so much.

Zayn. Zayn helped me. He came in and changed me life. I was so grateful.

I had  people clapping along with the beat. I smiled.

I was free. I had beaten the monsters inside of me.

I was happy again.

I was ecstatic.

When I finished, i was out of breath from holding out the last note. Flushed, I walked over to our table.

"Amazing!" Danielle shouted.

"Beautiful!" Harry gave me a pat on the back and I was rewarded with a kiss from Zayn.

The night was fun, we stayed out late.

We hung out at my dorm for a while before Dani and El had to drive back home.

As everyone was leaving Zayn stopped to talk to me.

"I'm proud of you. You did it. You gained your confidence back. I love you."

We had a long, lingering kiss by the doorway. I was surprised that Lex hadn't come out if the shower to interrupt.

The kiss left my insides tingling after.

I had no idea I could fall so in love with someone in such a short amount of time

I lay in bed that night thinking.

I really am different...

I realized that everyone is different in there own ways.

Not one person is alike. (That would be boring)

And besides, being normal is overrated anyways...

Hi. I'm Roxanne Mars. I'm different, and I'm proud of that.
