Zayn's POV:

The paparazzi swarmed around me like moths to a bulb. Good thing that the movie was sold out. Now even none of the boys could disturb me. I could enjoy a nice evening with Perrie. Finally. I've been asking her for a long time, but she kept refusing.  What made her say yes now?

As we finally entered the cinema, guess what? Instead of being captured by the press, I saw many directioners taking full footage of me. Great... there was one in particular that was really stood out. I think she is a big fan. I just hope this evening will not be awkward.

We sat down together and started speaking softly. A few minutes later, the movie started.

I tried holding Perrie's hand but she kept fidgeting and pulling away. What's wrong with her? 

So I just retired and left her alone. I was pouting. This wasnt a proper date. It couldnt be classified as a date. I should've just stayed home with the boys. Well avengers is a pretty good movie. So I'll just focus on the movie rather than her. 

We were watching for about 40 minutes when suddenly we heard a noise from behind us. I looked back and got the shock of my life. Anger filled me from head to toe. Why now.... Why here....?

Liam's POV:

I finally reached the cinema and waited for a few minutes to let Zayn enter the cinema. The fun is about to start...  He finally got in and there was a huge swarm of paparazzi after him. I think the movie was sold out because some paparazzi and fans were disappointed after checking with the cashier. How am I supposed to get in?

I just got out of my car with my hoodie on. If anyone found me here... I'm dead. And Zayn will kill me. So I just acted natural and started walking towards the cashier. She looked starstruck. I guess she was a fan too. 

"Ummm... Mam, may I have a ticket to see the avengers? Please...? I hesitated.

"oh I'm sorry... Avengers is sold out. But Hunger games is still playing. Would you like to watch that?" She politely responded.

"You really dont know who I am. I need to get in somehow. Its important." I replied to her desperately.

"Who are you?" She said puzzled.

I had to do it. Hesitating a little, I slowly lifted my hoodie and revealed my face. I showed myself to the world. Well... technically only her. The other paparazzi had left already. Thank God. 

Her face was filled with utter shock and excitement. Her eyes went wide completely and I really thought she stopped breathing for a second.

"Ummm.." I said awkwardly.

She snapped out of it and smiled "Of course there is a ticket, I'll give you one immediately." She said fangirling. She printed out the ticket and handed it to me.

"Where are the rest of the boys?" She said smiling. "Well, they aren't coming today but I'll make sure they come sometime soon." I flashed a smile at her and she literally died inside. I just started walking inside leaving her to stare. We have the best and awkwardest fans ever.

I wore my hoodie back on again even though it was dark in the cinema. I didnt want to take any risks. So I entered inside the cinema and looked around, it was packed. How did I manage to get a seat in this crowd? I slowly walked around and looked for my seat. H13 was the number. I reached row 'H' and realized it was fully full. Wait.... that meant she copied someone elses seat as my own!!! God... what was I supposed to do now?

I walked until my seat and saw who was in my seat. It was the same girl who I saw earlier. Why her? I couldnt disturb her, but I wanted to sabotage Zayn. What was more important? I had to prove that I wasnt the fun spoiler. So I made up my mind.

"Umm... excuse me. You are in my seat." I said hesitantly. I felt guilty and if it wasnt dark everyone could see that I was going red. Even when I'm wearing a hoodie. After I said it, I regretted it. Why did I do it?

"No. This is my seat. See, check my ticket!" She responded. Her friends then started backing her up.

"YES THIS IS HER SEAT!!" They shouted in unison and earned glares from nearby spectators. I knew I was defeated and then had an idea. It would either work or blow up in my face. Lets try it out. 

I removed my hoodie and said as softly as possible, "I'm Liam Payne" and saw their eyes grow wide. Not again. Why do I have to come across fans always? Not that I dont love them.... Because I love them with all my soul. They are the reason we are so famous. But this time was bad.

"You are Liam Payne?" She said. I nodded. She stopped herself from fangirling and said. "Well I dont care because this is my seat." She stuck her tongue out at me. 

Her friends reacted much differently. One of her friends spilled all the popcorn over her. Ouch.... this was bad. She sat up immediately and wiped off all the popcorn that stuck to her. I tried helping her but she pushed me away and ran out. 

This was bad. Liam, you are supposed to be the responsible, caring one. Not the one who makes fans cry and run from you. I thought to myself and bit my lip. I had to make this right.

"Oh no!! Hazel dont go!" She said after her. "It wasnt his fault, it was mine. HAZEL!!" She looked guiltily at me and said "Im sorry for that. She hates being humiliated. I'll be right back." She pushed me away and started walking until I grabbed her by the arm. "No, have to go after her. I did this mess. I must clean it up myself."

I started to walk down the aisle of the cinema. *I would walk through the desert, I would walk down the aisle. I would swim all the oceans just to see you smile*  I really hope to see her smile.

 I exited the cinema and looked around. She couldnt have gotten far. I had to find her no matter what. I cannot ruin anyone else's night.... well except Zayn's of course.

Hazel's POV:

As the movie was playing, suddenly a guy in a hoodie started walking towards me and said "Umm... excuse me. You are in my seat." puzzled and confused I said "No. This is my seat. See, check my ticket!" I showed him my ticket.

All my friends started backing me up and I fake smiled at him. Then he said  "I'm Liam Payne". My whole world blacked out around me. Did he just say...? I just controlled my fangirling when he raised his hoodie off. OMG I love avengers..... And I never will say I hate it again. But I kept calm and said "You are Liam Payne?" Then I retaliated by saying, "Well I dont care because this is my seat." Triumphant, I stuck my tongue out at him.

I was definitely proud of the fact that I didnt fangirl but my friends didnt seem to catch on. Katy, in excitement spilled all the popcorn over me. What...How....Why??? I looked all over my top. It was covered in popcorn and butter.

I quickly stood up and started brushing off all the popcorn that stuck to me. Liam tried helping, but I was too humiliated and I just rushed out of the cinema. Rushed out of the pressure. Rushed out the excitement. This was just a bit too much.
