Teenage Struggles - Chapter Twelve

I woke up early to the sound of What Makes You Beautiful at 845am (It’s my phone ringtone) The caller ID said Zayn Malik.

“Hey Zayn” I happily said

“Morning babe, sorry for calling so early but I just want to let you know that I’m going to need to pick you up in about an hour so there isn’t that many fans outside the building. Oh and for most of the time you and the other ladies will be in the backroom where there’s a kitchen and TV, but I don’t care what security says, I’m going to make sure that at one point or another, you’re sitting with me at the signing table.”

“Sound’s good Zayn, I can’t wait!”

I heard Zayn laugh quietly.

“Is there someone with you now?” I asked, hoping that the answer was no

“Yeah, just Niall. He came over at 6 o’clock this morning because he knew I had pistachios in the cupboard.”  Zayn said laughing

“Aw he’s adorable! Anyways I better get ready, I’m still in bed” I told him

“Alright babe, love you” Zayn said, hanging up the phone

My heart started racing when I realized Zayn said he loves me. I looked over to the thousands of posters I have on my ‘wall of One Direction’ and couldn’t help but smile. I hurried into my closet to pick out something cute to wear, I decided on my favourite grey top, a pair of short shorts and my bright pink Nike’s. After I came out of the shower, I quickly straightened my hair and applied some makeup. I looked down at my pink watch; it read 9:57am. The doorbell rang, from upstairs I heard my dad go to answer it.

“Oh hello, nice to see you again” I heard my dad say “APRIL! Get down here!” He yelled

I ran down the stairs to see Zayn standing at the door. He and I both smiled when we saw each other. He was wearing a plain white t-shirt and a pair of ripped blue jeans with a pair of grey Nike’s.

“I texted you a few times and you didn’t answer so I thought I’d just come and get you” Zayn said to me “Were supposed to be there in 10 minutes” He said looking at the time on his phone

“I know I just saw the texts now, I’m so sorry. Let’s go” I said feeling guilty

“April, I will probably not be coming home tonight. I’ll be staying at a co-workers house because we have to go into work early tomorrow. Zayn you’re welcome to stay the night if you’d like.” My dad said smiling at the two of us.

I nodded “Alright, thanks Dad.” I said as Zayn and I ran out the door to his car.

I decided to do what my dad said and show Zayn the text message Laura had sent me the night before; I read it out to him as we were driving to the Cd signing. Zayn had a horrified look on his face when I had finished reading the text to him.

“That bitch better not treat you like that ever again or I will fire her. But April please don’t let her get to you, you’re going to get a lot of hate from a lot of people even from just being seen with me. If anyone ever says anything like that to you ever again I will personally speak with them. I never want to have to see you upset over any of this or over anything and that message just disgusts me.” Zayn said

I looked over to him and smiled “Thanks Zayn, I love you”

A small smile formed on his face when I said I loved him. I guess he was waiting to hear those words come out of my mouth like I was with him.

As we neared the building, Zayn handed me a pair of sunglasses and told me to put them on. I did as I was told, I then started hearing loud shrieks and screams and I figured we were there. He parked the car close to the door of the building then he pulled out his blackberry and texted Liam, letting him know to tell security that we were outside.

“Wow, I don’t know how you deal with all these screaming girls every single day.” I said

Zayn laughed “At first I was a little frightened of it all to be honest; it can get pretty intimidating knowing that so many people know your name and are screaming it at the top of their lungs. Now I kind of enjoy it, I really like it now actually.” He admitted

Before I could respond, 4 tough looking security guards opened the car doors. I stayed as close as I could to Zayn as we walked inside. There were girls all around us; two security guards had to walk behind us while the other two walked on either side of us. When we got inside I saw Louis sitting crossed legged on the floor and Eleanor sitting in front on a chair; it was the only chair left so he must’ve given it to her. How sweet! Liam was sitting on the couch with Danielle on his lap and Harry was on the phone. (Probably with Caroline)

 “Hi guys” I said smiling to everyone

Everyone said ‘hey’ back to me almost in unison

Zayn grabbed my hand and led me over to the couch to sit beside Liam and Danielle.

I looked over behind the couch to see Niall and Dana play wrestling. Knowing Niall, it was probably because he stole her food or something.

The boys’ manager walked over to the group of us.

“The doors are opening in 5 minutes guys, you should go sit at the signing table” He advised them “Oh and it’s nice to meet you April, Zayn has told me quite a bit about you.” He said smirking. I blushed and looked away. Zayn gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before getting up to head over to the signing table.

“I’ll come see you at 1 for lunch, alright?” He said giving me a wink before disappearing behind the big curtains that separated the back room from the front where the signing table was.

Danielle and Eleanor walked over to Dana and I and introduced themselves. “It’s nice to finally meet you girls!” Eleanor said to us. Danielle greeted us as well and began to speak “Let’s go to the kitchen together and make some coffee so we can all get to know each other personally, we’ll probably be spending a lot of time together now!”
