More Than This

Chapter Six ~ Up All Night

Recap : 

                 All the five boys, now in different clothes, waved at all of us. We cheered louder. 

                "This song is dedicated to someone and that someone is right here," Zayn started.

                 "Whohoooooo!" We all cheered. 

                 "Alana Peters, come up on stage!" Zayn said. I kept on screaming and cheering for them. Who ever the song was being dedicated to, must be damn lucky. 

                "Alana Maria Peters, come up on stage!"All the five boys said. Suddenly the flashlight was shown above me. 

                 I looked at Eric. He was grinning. "Go on stage Al!" he said. 

                "WHAT?" I asked staring at Eric's face. 

Now : 

                "Alana! Alana! Alana!" the boys started cheering. I was still so confused. 

                What's happening? Did One Direction just call my name? They called out my name! How did they know my name!? Oh my gosh! One Direction knows my name! Zayn asked me to come on stage! Oh my gosh! OH MY GOSH. 

               I could feel someone's palm hit my face hard. Eric looked at me and gave me a 'WHAT THE HELL' look. I looked back confused. 

                "Alana! Get your ass onstage already!  Zayn the freakin' Malik just called out your name!" he said pushing me. The girls around me started pushing me too. Now I was almost on the stage. Zayn, flashing one his million dollar smirks, came towards me. 

                My heart started beating three hundred times per minute. It was heard so loud that Zayn chuckled when he was standing right opposite to me. 

               "Breathe Alana breathe," I kept saying, trying to breathe normally. My palms got all sweaty. Why does Zayn have to be so perfect?

               "Girl, I know I take your breath away, but you have to breathe, cuz' its your birthday!" Zayn shouted over the microphone. Huh? My birthday? I looked at my watch. It was 12:03. 

              "Happy Birthday to you... 

               Happy Birthday to you.. 

               Happy birthday to dear Alana...

              Happy birthday to you.... " 

              The five gorgeous boys sang for me. Zayn took my hand and walked me to the centre. I kept staring at his beautiful face. Only to trip on my own feet and fall. I thought I'll have a bad fall, so I shut my eyes close. Instead, I was in a pair of strong arms. 

              I opened my eyes. Big brown eyes were looking into mine now. I was breathless. It was Zayn Malik. I WAS IN HIS FREAKIN ARMS. I stopped staring and muttered 'Thank you'. He chuckled. 

             "Ehh.. quite a scene there! Anyway Happy Birthday Alana!" Niall said. 

             "Eric! Come up now!" Liam said. 

             "Eric wishes Alana a very happy birthday!" Louis and Harry said in unison. Eric? ERIC? One Direction knew ERIC? OH MY GOSH. THIS IS SO FREAKISHLY AWESOME. 

             "Eric! You never told me know them!" I said loudly as the girls were roaring madly. Eric just grinned. Oh God! 

            "That's your birthday present from me Shorty! Happy Birthday," he said hugging me.
