Elsa's P.O.V.
Next Morning
“Elsa. Pssst. Elsa! Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.” Louis said.
“Louis go back to sleep.” I grumbled. I then felt the bed dip down and a heavy teenage boy body was laying on top of me.
“I just can't. The sky's awake, so I'm awake. So we have to play.” he added and then rolled on top of me.
“Go play by yourself!” I said and pushed him off the bed.
“Hmpf.” I heard Louis say as he hit the ground. Another body crawled on top of me and then opened my eye lid.
“Do you want some chocolate chip pancakes? Your fav.” Harry said.
I laughed and then Zayn took my arms and pulled me up.
“I can not believe we just quoted Frozen.” I laughed as we all walked into the kitchen. Liam was just setting a place for me at the counter and putting two pancakes on my plate.
“Hey, you're the one with the name Elsa.” Louis laughed.
“Shutup Tomlinson.” I laughed as I shoved some pancake in my mouth.
“Hungry much?” Harry asked.
“WhyyesIam.” I said as I talked with my mouth open and obnoxiously chewed.
“Close you're mouth you nasty girl.” Louis said and closed my mouth.
I swallowed and then let out a sigh of approval.
“Guys, I'm so glad I'm back.” I said.
“We are too. Elsa you literally had a miracle.” Liam said.
“I know and I'm so lucky.” I said.
“Hey Elsa, why don't you put your fork down and go in your room. I think there's something in there for you.” Zayn said and winked at me.
I smirked at him and ran to my room and saw the most beautiful dress laying across my bed. I then walked back to the kitchen and hugged Zayn.
“Thank you.” I smiled.
“You're welcome.” he said and kissed my forehead.
Award Show
“Wow this is so cool. The last time I went to one of these was when Niall and...” I said but stopped myself.
“I know what you're talking about love.” Harry said. I was sat next to him and Louis and I knew this was gonna be a fun night. Zayn was next to Liam and Liam was next to Niall. The awards went by and by and every so often Harry or Louis would put their hand on my back and draw circles. Finally one of their categories showed up and Lucy Hale and Zac Efron were presenting it.
“And the award for favorite band is.....One Direction!” Lucy said. I screamed in excitement and hugged each of the boys, and when I got to Niall I just turned and sat down. They then walked up the stage and started their speech.
“We want to thank each and everyone of you for voting us for this award. We wouldn't be where we are without you all.” Liam said.
“We want to say a special thank you to a good friend of ours. Almost a year ago, we almost lost her, and she was our inspiration for our Midnight Memories cd. She inspired us to write each song and now that we have her back we finally get to thank her. So Elsa, we love you so much and we dedicate all our progress on this new album to you. We love you so much.” Harry said.
“Thank you and goodnight everyone!” Zayn said. They then walked off stage and blew kisses to me. After a while, the boys still didn't come back and that's when the lights dimmed.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome back on stage, singing their new single Strong, One Direction!” Zac Efron announced.
“We dedicate this song to our beautiful friend Elsa Blake!” Harry said and then the music started playing.
“My hands, your hands. Tied up like two ships. Drifting. Weightless. Waves try to break it. I'd do anything to save it. Why is it so hard to say it?” Zayn sang.
“My heart, your heart. Sit tight like book ends. Pages between us. Written with no end. So many words we're not saying. Don't wanna wait 'til it's gone. You make me strong.” Liam sang.
“I'm sorry if I say, "I need you." But I don't care, I'm not scared of love. Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker. Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong that you make me strong?” they all sang.
“Think of how much love that's been wasted. People always trying to escape it. Move on to stop their heart breaking. But there's nothing I'm running from, you make me strong.” Louis sang.
“I'm sorry if I say, I need you. But I don't care, I'm not scared of love. Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker. Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong?” they all sang. I watched as Zayn was about to sing his solo and he looked over at me and smiled. He then reached his hand out towards the crowd as if he was reaching for me.
“So, baby, hold on to my heart, oh, oh.. Need you to keep me from falling apart. I'll always hold on,
cause you make me strong.” Zayn sang.
“I'm sorry if I say, I need you. But I don't care, I'm not scared of love. Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker. Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong?” Niall sang as he was looking directly into my eyes.
“I'm sorry if I say, I need you. But I don't care, I'm not scared of love. Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker. Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong that you make me strong?” they all sang.
I'm sorry if I say, I need you. But I don't care, I'm not scared of love. Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker. Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong that you make me strong?” they all sang and the music ended.
Instantly the crowd starting cheering and applauding and I stood up to clap for them. When they returned they each gave me a hug, besides Niall. Through the rest of the night, they won two more awards and couldn't have been happier. After the awards, the boys went their separate ways and Zayn and I decided to just head home as well. When we were walking outside, he grabbed my hand and we walked to the car and paps were taking our pics left and right and kept asking what happened between Niall and I and where I've been these past eight months. As Zayn held my hand tightly, his security guards were shielding us and directing us to the limo. I heard someone ask how long Zayn and I have been dating for and it made me laugh. Once we got home, I instantly went in my room and changed.
“Hey Els, are you decent?” Zayn asked from the other side of my door.
“Yes sir.” I said. He then came in and a huge grin appeared on his face.
“Did you have fun tonight?” he asked while sitting down on my bed.
“Of course. It was really cool.” I said.
“Okay good. Well I'm off to bed. Night love.” he said and kissed my cheek. As soon as Zayn left, I laid down on my bed and passed out.
“Mommy? Mommy what's wrong?” I asked as I went to her side of the bed. She was just laying there and not moving. When I moved her, that's when I saw all the blood. I covered my mouth and slowly backed up. I then made made my way to the living room and I saw my dad laying in a pool of his own blood. I ran and ran and found my brother and sister hiding in a closet. I hid in there with them and suddenly the door flung open and the man who had just murdered my parents grabbed me and slid the knife across my throat.
“Elsa! Elsa! Wake up!” a voice said.
My eyes instantly opened and I jolted up from my sleep and realized I was covered in sweat. I then started crying and Zayn held me tightly.
“Elsa, what's wrong?” Zayn asked as he rocked me back and forth.
“The nightmares. They're back.” I said.
“What nightmares?” he asked.
And that's when I told Zayn all about my real parents and how they were murdered and how I was four when my parents “now” adopted me and my siblings.
“I never told anyone that besides Niall.” I said as the tears flowed down my face.
“You still love him don't you?” he asked.
I nodded my head and sighed.
“I love him so much Zayn.” I sobbed. “Every time he's around it just brings back all my feelings for him no matter how much I want to hate him, I can't.” I sobbed.
“Elsa, I jus...” he started but I cut him off.
“But I can't take him back. He left me when he said he never would. I can't trust him.” I said.
He stared into my eyes and then leaned forward and kissed my forehead.
“Come on, let's go to sleep.” he said. I laid down and then Zayn wrapped his arms around me and I fell asleep.
All night, the nightmares came back and every time Zayn tried to calm me down, I would fall asleep and they would just come back. Niall was the only one who knew how to make them go away.
