27th of March 2011, the day I met him. It was like a scene cut from a movie where we both met, went out, fell in love and will hopefully live happily ever after, only we did not meet in the same old cliche way.
It was at my grandmother funeral and I was sitting under a tree, away from everyone else crying my eyes out because I missed her. Then I felt someone sit down next to me, at the time I had no idea who it was but I didnt care I just needed a shoulder to cry on which he provided me with. We started talking and became friends. Later when I found out he was Zayn Malik from One Direction, I didnt care because to me he was the one who gave me a shoulder to cry on. From that day, he became my bestfriend and so much more.
Today he is my only support as I am his. We've been to hell and back but didnt leave each other. And if I were to make a confession about him, I'd say that I have been in love with him ever since he offered me a shoulder to cry on. Simply because the first time he saw me it was at my worst but unlike most people he did not walk away but he stood by me and I plan to do the same with him whenever he needs it. By this point I should probably tell my name, I am Mia.
You needed to know our history to understand our present. And now that you do, imagine my shock when I woke up to a text by Zayn telling me that today would be the day my life changed. All morning I lay in bed thinking about what this meant and when I finally got tired of thinking, I picked up my phone and asked Zayn if he could come hang out with me to which he refused. This might not sound unusual to you but it does to me because Zayn is the one person who always has time for me. Then two hours later he called me to tell me to to dress fancy as he would be picking me up in an hour to go for dinner. And so I did as he had asked me to.
I was ready when Zayn rang my doorbell. There he was looking handsome as always. He told me I looked beyond beautiful, then he took my hand and led me to his car, he opened the door for me and closed it as I got in. He got to the other side and started driving. During the drive we talked normally like none of this was unusual and we did this all the time.
However the most unusual thing happened when he helped me out of the car and he got into a very expensive resturant. Not that Zayn couldnt afford it but why take me and not some supermodel on a date because lets be honest, that's what it was right? But I still did not ask any question. We ate our meal, talked, laughed, giggled, made fun of others, made fun of eachother, the usual bestfriend stuff. But later on after desert Zayn led me to one of the terraces of the resturant. There some guys with violins were playing the music, did I mention I love violins? No? Okay now I have. So anyways Zayn told me he had a confession to make. I told him to go ahead. And what he said to me had been like this:
"Mia, you remember how when we met at your grandmother's funeral and I offered you my shoulder to cry on? Well, I always said that it was fate than led me to you when you asked why I did what I did. I lied, it was not because of that. It was because when I first saw you, you had you head buried in your mothers shoulder and kept repeating how much you loved your nani. Even then when I couldnt see your face I knew there was something special about you and that I had to get to know you. So I followed you until you were alone under the tree. I walked up to you and saw that you needed a friend and so I offered to be that friend. As the time went by we became so much more than just friends, you became my whole world and I started feeling empty without you. At that time around two years ago, I fell in love with you. I dont know how or why it happened or even when, all I know is that I am in love with you, I have been for a really long time now and everyday I fall even more in love with you. I am not going to list all the reasons why I love you because that would take forever but I am going to say that I have never met a single person like you and I probably never will because you are one-of-a-kind. And I am lucky to have you in my life and you not knowing how I felt was killing me so I had to tell you. And I also had to ask you something and that is *at this point he knelt down to one knee and pulled out a ring* Mia Elizabeth Harper, would you please make me the luckiest man alive or dead by marrying me?"
By the end of his speech, I was in tears and all I was able to do was nod my head and put my hand forward. Zayn slipped the ring on my hand and stood up and put his lips on mine. We stayed like this for, well, a long time. Eventually we had to pull apart to breathe and I saw that zayn had tears in his eyes. So I can without a doubt say that that was the best day of my life.
And just now I realized that Today 27th March 2016 is the day my life changed forever. Only beacause of Zayn.
