One in a Million

Chapter 21

Kendra's POV

"I like this song," my mom yelled in my ear, swaying to the melody of Live While We're Young. I couldn't help but let out a giggle because of how much of an idiot she looked like.

I was watching them all play from backstage and damn, were they good. I've never heard one of their songs before until this moment and the crowd was going absolutely wild. It looked like over 5,000 people had come just to see them perform. I have never seen so many people in my life!

I couldn't stop starring at Zayn, he was just so perfect. His voice had a special ring to it that caused my heart to rumble and melt at the same time. How could someone like me, meet him?

"Go!" Jessica nudged me towards the stage and I jumped out of my daze.

"What?" I shrieked. Why would she want me to go on the stage? They were in the middle of the concert!

I looked over at her and then back over to the boys, Zayn had his arm arched out, signaling me to go to him. My heart started to speed up, I had the worst stage fright in the world! I could never possibly go out there!

"Go sweetie!" My dad urged, my mom joined the peer pressure also.

"I can't," I whispered, starring out to Zayn, who had pleading eyes. My feet felt as heavy as bricks, my palms felt hot and sweaty, I couldn't concentrate.

"Kendra, please come here. So many people want to meet you," he gestured out into the crowd and I heard tons of cheering and screaming.

I gulped and went to move my feet but I couldn't. I just stayed in place. Zayn started to make his way over to me, biting his lip. "Baby, it'll be fine," he insisted, pulling me onto the stage. I let in and was guided onto the stage, which was lit up with bright lights.

"So this is Kendra, the girl I went looking for 1 week ago!" Zayn announced to the crowd, everyone was silent. He started to pace back and fourth in front of me, I just stood there awkwardly like a statue.

"And well, I found her clearly, but there's something I need your help with," he looked into the crowd, who was still quiet. "She has cancer and needs surgery, every little profit we make today goes to save this beautiful girls life," he pointed to me, I good feel my cheeks get rosey.

Immediately, everyone started to throw paper money on stage, overwhelming everyone. I gasped, Zayn really was my hero.

"Now I have something to ask you Kendra," Zayn said, walking over next to me.

"What?" I asked, trying to not be embarrassed by everyone watching.

"I know we only met such a short time ago but what we have is something that could take forever to find, I'm so in love with you, will you be my girlfriend?" The words shot into me and sent flutters all over my body.

"Yes!" I screamed out as I ran over and gave Zayn a tight hug, he lifted me up and kissed my lips. Everyone in the crowd started to clap and applaud. I didn't even care about them starring anymore, not even my parents. I was Zayn Malik's girl friend.
