You Should Open Your Eyes

Plans and Secrets

Emily's POV

Niall left half an hour ago and my mum hasn't arrived home yet. I was starting to worry but my mum was strong. She was late because of traffic or something. I started to think about how I was going to get my surgury done. I wanted it to be a surprise for my mum and Niall, but how could I do that? I would need parental permission wouldn't I? Dad wasn't going to help me. I haven't heard him since I was fully blind. Jaz could help me. But that means her being near the boys again and I think that isn't the best thing right now. The last thing the boys would want was a crazed directioner all over them.

I hear the door open and then close and keys going onto the kitchen sink. I walk into the dining room, and I mum says "Hey sweetie, sorry I was running late today" I reply happily "It's alright. I spent the day with Niall" I hear the microwave start humming so I knew it was time for dinner.

I set the table as me and mum talk about our day. After dinner I do the dishes and mum turns the tv on. I hear the news. I hear the reporter talking and I zone out. "Erm Em?" Mum's voice asks shockd and I listen in on the story.

"Mr. Niall Horan, the heart throb from One Direction has been spotted, walking with a mystery girl this morning. This happens to be the same girl that he took with him to the VMA's. Is there another romance in 1D land?"

I hurry to the tv and turn it off by the switch.

Silence rang through the house. I was the one to brake it by saying "mum? can I please talk to the boys? I have their number in the home phone" I try to keep my voice steady but it didn't really work. As mum footsteps get quieter and quieter my heart rate picks up. How did they find us? I swear we were alone then.

Mum walks into the room again and I hold out my arm so she can give me the phone. It was already ringing. I wait patiently and Zayn picks up. "hello?" I breath a sigh of relief because he could help me with the arrangements for the surgury.

"Hey Zayn! It's Emily!" I say walking into my room, so mum couldn't hear.

"Hey Em, I assume you want to talk to Niall?" He questions

"No! Erm, I want to talk to you first" I say quickly before he could hand the phone over.

"Okay? What about?" He asks

"Are you alone?" I ask

"No, do you want me to be?"

"Yes please" I reply trying to slow my breathing down. Calm down Emily! Your not confessing to murder!

"I'm alone" Zayn says then adds "Is something wrong?"

I take a deep breath and say "well, sorta, but I want to talk about something else first." I wait for him to reply, but he doesn't so I continue with. "I want the surgery date to be moved forward. I don't want anyone knowing. Not even my mum. That includes Niall and the others. I guess Liam can know"

I wait for Zayn to say something and when he doesn't I get worried. I knew it was a bad idea! Jesus can't you do anything proper these days Em? I mentally scream at myself.

"Erm, why?" Zayn's voice seems worried. Great, not I was worrying him as well. Good job Emily! "Because... I need for it to happen okay?" I plead. "Okay I'll see what I can do, but why can't anyone else know?" He asks and I felt really stupid. "This is where the bad stuff comes in." I say and Zayn groans. "Here we go"

Zayn's POV

"This is where the bad stuff comes in" Emily says nervous. This had to be big coz she sounded like she was sweating bullets! "Tell me" I say and she says it in one big breath.

"I was on the news with Niall, they were saying that we were dating and I know how much crap Dani, Elle and Perrie get from the fans. Imagine them finding out I'm blind! And also because the blind girl always gets the sympathy and that is the last thing I want right now." I freeze. On the news? What? "You were on the news?" I ask slowly. "Yeah" She whispers. Well crap! Now there is another girl we will need to make a fake name and age for! I hate doing this but management has made it a routine.
