For The Love Of A Daughter♥ A Zayn Malik Love Story

A Drop In The Ocean♥

*Paetons POV*

"are you guys ready?!" niall yelled, jumping up and down excitedly, trying to pump us all up as well.

"You know it nialler!" liam replied with an eager smile.

"the judges are ready for you" said a tall woman with a black shirt reading 'crew' in white letters accrossed the back.

i crossed my fingers as we walked out onto the large stage, just the six of us.

today was the day we were auditioning for xfactor. to make our dreams turn into reality i guess you could say.

"hello, and you guys are?" THE simon cowel asked us from a small podium where he was sitting with three other judges.

"hi, im liam"

"im niall"

"im harry"

"im louis"

"im zayn"

"im paeton"

"And were One Direction" we all said in unison, obviously we had rehearsed this before.

"nice to meet all of you, now what will you be singing for us today?" he asked with a straight face.

"were going to sing A Drop In The Ocean by Ron Pope" liam replied respectfully.

"good choice, now begin" he said, gesturing to all of us.

"but im holding you closer than most, 'cause you are my heaven" i finished us off, nervously looking at zayn who smiled approvingly at me.

we turned to the judges with anticipation.

"well, i dont like you guys all that much, and i dont think it was the best performance of the night" he said, looking down at the table.

my breath hitched and i felt tears stinging in my eyes.

how could he not like us? i thought we performed it perfectly. i looked to the boys sadly.

"i love you guys, and i think it was the best performance of the year" he said with a sly smile.

"OH MY GOD" niall yelled as we all jumped and screamed happily to each other.

the crowd screamed and we grabbed each other, forming a group hug.

tears fell happily from my eyes as i reached to hug zayn.

simon loved us! how would you feel if simon cowell said he loved you? let me tell you, its an amazing feeling.

"i think i can speak for the rest of us when i say; im giving you guys a huge, 100% yes" he said, looking to the other judges who nodded their heads approvingly.

"i expect great things from all of you" he said with a smile, gesturing us to leave the stage.

"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD SHIT FUCK HOLY OH MY JESUS" i yelled jumping onto liams back and screaming on the top of my lungs as we walked backstage.

liam and the rest of the boys had tears of gratitude in their eyes and began cracking up at my outburst of joy.

"i think we need to celebrate" louis said eagerly, wiggling his eyebrows.

"you know i cant drink lou" liam said sternly.

"well go hang out with liz or something. WE DESERVE TO PARTY, CAN I GET A YALLA?!" louis yelled.

"lou, i think were all a bit stunned, maybe we should save the partying for when we get through bootcamp" i said, ruffling the eager boys hair.

"i agree" zayn said, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"anyways, you boys sang absolutely amazingly! we sounded perfect!" i said happily pulling them into a group hug.

"we did amazing? did you hear yourself?! you sounded a little bit like fergie mixed with jesus. and for a second, i swear you took the shape of a unicorn" zayn said in a silly voice, quoting one of the best movies of all time, causing me to burst into a fit of laughter.

"well, we need to pack our stuff, because were going to London!" i yelled, dragging them to the louis orange van that we had driven here.

zayn, and i sat in the back row, followed by liam and niall in the middle seats, with louis driving and harry in the passenger seat.

"great job" zayn said quietly, grabbing onto my hand.

"you too" i replied with a smile, laying my head on his toned shoulder.

i soon heard quiet snores fill the van, and i looked up to zayn.

his sleeping face was absolutely adorable, and he had his head propped up against mine.

'i should probably get to sleep, we have a three days ahead of us' i thought to myself, as my heavy eyelids closed.
