Picture Perfect (Zayn Malik)

Possibilities Are Endless (8)

Niall's POV

''I thought we'd go ice-skating" could he annoy me anymore. I use to be close to Zayn. Don't get me wrong, he's a good person, but he knew I liked Melissa; well I'm sure I made it clear that I liked Mellisa, but he still moved in closer to her. He likes her too 'apparently'. Those two are just never going to stop. I just wish it was me holding Mellisa, sitting beside her. I just want to be able to call her mine. I've had girlfriends before, but I never felt the way I do when I look at Mellisa. She's different, she's amazing. I barely even know her and I'm saying these things. I just wish she could see how much I really do like her. Like is an understatement, I just hope she could see how much I love her. She might not notice me now, but I'm not going to let her go so easily, I'm not giving up until I can call her mine, and that's a promise.

The thing that bothers me the most is that were only in Sydney for a couple of weeks, which means I don't have long before I will probably never see her again. Zayn, he's just another problem I have to deal with. There's no way I can get Melissa without hurting Zayn. That's not such a bad idea when I think of it, I mean he is hurting me.... I'm just not so sure he knows it. I guess I'll deal with him after I deal with my own problems. That's if I ever do. I just wish it was as simple as saying those three words and she would be mine. Three simple words, I love you, but life, and love are to things that aren't that simple. Right now, I think it's fair to say that my life is so messed up; to anyone else it was perfect. The way the media portrayed my life, the way fans saw me, and the way people in general perceived me and my life was so different to the way it really was. No one knows how I really feel, or what I go through but me, but I think I prefer it that way, just me knowing.

My thoughts were interrupted by the abrupt giggles and talking of the others. We were at the ice - skating ring now where all four boys and Melissa were putting on their ice skates and shoulder pads. I stayed behind making sure to keep quit some distance between myself and the others. I just couldn't and didn't't want to be around anyone right now. I felt annoyed and wanted to be left alone. I glanced over at everyone on the ring, they were all enjoying themselves, couples were skating together, some falling and being caught by their partners, children were smiling, and friends skating, and off course Zayn and Melissa. It was clear to me that Zayn didn't't know I had feelings for Melissa, otherwise he wouldn't have done this to me, were too close to do this to one another. He would never do this to me, would he?

I stood up and made my way to the exit. There was no point of me being here. I just felt like an extra load for the others to have to carry and worry about. I found myself walking through a very dark and quite park, not that I cared, after all I did want some peace and quiet, and I just wanted to be left alone to think. As I walked deeper into the tree's that were arched over a narrow path which I assumed lead to the other end of the park, I felt the Breeze get stronger, the cool wind invaded my body, but it didn't seem to bother me as I couldn't concentrate on anything but her. Why did I have to fall for her? I always fall in love with the wrong person. A person who I know would never love me back, a girl who is taken and a girl who's already had her heart stolen by someone else other than me.

I felt rather pathetic. This wasn't like me. But I guess people change, and so does life. At times it's like there's no use of me trying, no point in trying to get something I can't have. I could go out and find another girl to focus on, but at the end of the day, Melissa will be the only one I think of. I just want her and only her. If only we got everything we wanted in life. But in reality we don't and I think I just have to accept that.

The night was silent and empty, just the way I felt. I could now see the end of the path that lead to the other side of the park. I wasn't sure of where I was going, but I didn't want to go back to the hotel just yet. I kept on walking in the busy streets of Sydney when I came across a small Ice - Cream shop. The doorbell rang as I entered the shop. There was a couple seated beside the window and a group of teens seated in one of the booths up the back. I just really hoped none of the teens would recognise me, I pulled my hoodie over my head and put my shades on, this will have to do I guess. I waited in line until a young lady behind the register was ready to take my order.

"Hi, what can I get you today?" the lady behind the counter said while smiling. She sounded a little too happy for someone who was stuck at work, but I guess she just had a positive outlook on things in life, even the little things.

"Ehh, two scoops nutella, on a waffle cone thanks"

"I can tell you're not from around here, are you?"

"uhh, no I'm from Ireland" I flashed a small smile her way considering she had been smiling at me all this time.

"Hmm thought so, by the way I like your accent" I smiled to myself while watching her scoop the ice - cream into the waffle cone. I could hear the sound of the bell ringing which meant someone had entered the shop. Before I had a chance to turn around, the lady had brought me my Ice- cream. Pulling out my wallet, I paid for my Ice- cream and waited for the change.

"Here you go, I hope you enjoy your Ice- cream" I was handed back my change and placed it into my wallet which I slipped into my back pocket.

"Thanks" I licked my ice- cream whilst turning around to exit the shop, but as I spun around, something or someone had hit into me pushing me to the ground, and landing on top of me, and so did my ice - cream. 'Great just what I needed I thought'. I looked up ready to have a go at whoever had just walked into me. This was probably just an excuse for me to get everything that was bubbling on the inside of me, all the frustration out on some innocent person, but I really did need to get things off my chest.

I opened my mouth about to let out a few curses and insults, but nothing came out. I couldn't stop staring. It couldn't be. Was I seeing things? I could have sworn it was her. Her chocolate brown curly hair, her gorgeous brown eyes, that perfect smile. I could have sworn it was her.

"Uhh, Mellisa?" I anxiously waited for her reply.

"Oh, I am so sorry, I.... I didn't mean to, uhh I... I'm so sorry. I swear it w... was an accident, huh? Who's Mellisa" she tried to get up, but she didn't quit make it up as she was shaky and I could tell slightly embarrassed. The part that struck me was when she said whose Mellisa? I thought it was Mellisa, clearly it wasn't.

"Uhh, it's okay, I.. I mean it was ju.. just an accident" I fumbled and only muffled words came out as I intensely stared at her. "Niall, Niall Horan. Nice to meet you"

"Mary, nice to meet you to, and sorry again" I stood up and held out a hand, which she willingly took. I helped her up before grabbing serviets to clean up the ice - cream which landed on me. As I was about to wipe it off, Mary had placed her hand over mine while flashing me a smile.

"Let me get that for you, after all it is my fault" she giggled and I smiled back. She reminded me so much of Mellisa. She looked exactly like her. She was wearing white skinny jeans with a red blouse and heels. Her body was amazing. She had such a slim and gorgeous figure. It was insane.

"Thanks, but there's no need for tha -"

"Yes there is, I put it there, so I clean it" she was being so sweet even though she didn't need to. She could have gotten up and left but she didn't. later on she had finished cleaning up my hoodie. The stain was barely visible.

"There, all done, sorry about that again" she offered a smile.

"no.. don't be sorry and thank you for.. for umm cleaning it up, you didn't have to. I think we both deserve an ice - cream. Don't you?" I smiled really hoping she would take me up on this offer.

"I think we do" we ordered our ice - creams and headed for the exit. Thankful there was no more collisions.
