Chapter 21:

(Sophie’s Point of View)

Two days later

            I stood off stage with my guitar slung around my shoulder. I stood by as I watched my boys and Alice run around the stages as they sang and danced around. Every now one of them, usually Alice, Zayn, or Niall, would look over and smile at me. I loved how happy each of them looked when they were preforming. It almost reflected how I felt.

Niall looked over at me for a second, after they sung Everything About You, and he had a gigantic smile on his face. I shot him a puzzled look as he walked off stage and grabbed my hand.   “Come on princess.”  He smirked. “It’s time for your songs.”  

Niall gave me a peck on the lips as we stood off stage. He waved over at Zayn who smiled and held the microphone closer to his mouth. “We have a little guest for you.”

The crowd screamed and I felt my heart speed up.

“Emphasis on the little…” Louis said as he sent a wink in my direction.

I pressed my lips close to the microphone as I eyed him from off stage. “That’s not very nice.”

My voice echoed throughout the arena sending thousands of people into a mess of excitement.

“Here’s clue number one. She has blonde curly hair.” Harry said with a sly smile.

“She plays the guitar.” Liam revealed with a smile.

“She is also my best friend.” Zayn pointed out. “Do you know who it is?” The crowd continued screaming my name as Zayn pretended they didn’t hear them. “Ladies and gentleman, I present the lovely Sophie Rae.” The crowd went wild as they continued cheering my name. Niall pulled me out on the stage and towards a microphone.

“Hello. Sophie here.” I smiled and saw posters that even had my name on them. “So, this is my first time singing this song. Here is Falling For You.”

I started strumming the chords out on the guitar as I sang. “I don't know but I think I maybe fallin' for you, dropping so quickly. Maybe I should keep this to myself. Waiting 'til I..

know you better. I am trying not to tell you but I want to… I'm scared of what you'll say. So I'm hiding what I'm feeling. But I'm tired of holding this inside my head.

I quickly looked off the side of the stage and saw Zayn smiling proudly. I scanned both sides looking for Niall, but he was nowhere to be found.  I continued the song, still feeling a little sad and hurt that Niall was nowhere to be found while I was singing.

“I've been spending all my time just thinking about you. I don't know what to do, I think I'm fallin' for you. I've been waiting all my life and now I found you. I don’t know what to do,  I think I'm falling for you... I'm falling for you...”

I quickly took off my guitar and set it on the stand as Dan took over from where I stopped. I wrapped both hands around the microphone and continued singing as the crown sang along.  “As I'm standing here and you hold my hand.” As if on cue, Zayn started to walk on stage towards me. He took one of my hands off the microphone and held it tightly. I grabbed the mic from the stand and held it to my mouth as I posited myself to be looking at Zayn.

“Pull me towards you and we start to dance.  All around us, I see nobody , here in silence it's just you and me.” I looked into Zayn’s eyes as I sung. I started to feel my face heat up and turn crimson.  “I'm trying not to tell you, but I want to. I'm scared of what you'll say. So I'm hiding what I'm feeling, but I'm tired of holding this inside my head.  I've been spending all my time just thinking about you. I don’t know what to do I think Im fallin' for you. I've been waiting all my life and now I found you. I don’t know what to do I think I'm fallin' for you. I'm fallin' for you.”
