Zayn & Camila told both their groups about what had happened & what Perrie Edwards had said to them. Their groupmates were all very understanding.

The show at Minnepolis' Target Center was a huge success. Fans raved about it on Twitter. There were concert videos posted on YouTube that got thousands of views, & there were even positive reviews posted on Facebook. Even media types from TV to radio to newspaper went nuts.

Now both groups were headed to the place that would provide their greatest test on the tour.

The place was Maidson Square Garden in New York.

One Direction had played there several times, but Fifth Harmony never had & were excited about the chance to perform there. It had been a dream for all five girls ever since they had formed on The X Factor.

As soon as they got to their hotel, The Plaza Hotel, both groups got a major surprise.

Both groups' families were there as were some famous friends. DJ & producer Zedd & his fiancee Selena Gomez were there as was singer Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, DJ/producer Calvin Harris, and actress Sarah Hyland among others. There were lots of hugs going on.

Zayn & Camila took Selena aside & told her what Perrie Edwards had told them in MInnepolis. All Selena could do was shake her head.

"I had a feeling that Justin would do that when he got together with her. He did it before with both Kendall Jenner & Hailey Baldwin. I didn't feel sorry for them, but I do feel sorry for Perrie," said Selena sadly."She didn't deserve to get deceived like that." Both Zayn & Camila agreed with Selena.

Meanwhile, Harry & Ally were chatting with his ex Taylor Swift, who was in a very happy mood.

"I really like that song you guys hae on your album," said Taylor. "Which one?" asked Harry. "The one you wrote with Liam called 'You Never Loved Me'. It's about me, isn't it?" asked Taylor. "Somewhat," said Harry. "Well, I think it's a great song. The lyrics really hit me hard. I guess that song is what I get for being a bitch to you, isn't it, Harry?" asked Taylor with a smile. Harry just laughed & hugged Taylor, letting her know in that way that it was OK.

After rehearsals and some naps, 1D & 5H were ready for the show. 

For Zayn, however, it was nerve-wrecking for him.

He hadn't performed at MSG in a couple of years since the Where We Are tour. Zayn felt himself choke up as he remembered the joy he had felt when he & 1D had performed there. He had fully realized what he had missed out on when he had briefly quit the group to sort out his own life, which had sprilled out of control during that tour.

Now things were different. Zayn was healthier, happier, and more eager to let the world hear the music of him & his four best friends. He also had Camila, a woman he loved more then anything.

After the breakup with Perrie, Zayn never thought it was possible to be in the place he was at in his life.

Now he believed.

As he & his groupmates readied themselves, he felt a pair of arms go around his tummy. He turned around & saw Camila smiling at him.

"Good luck, Z. I love you," said Camila with a smile that melted his heart. "I love you too, baby," said Zayn who then kissed her. He & the others then went out on stage.

The crowd was electric. When Zayn began singing the first words to "Kiss You", the crowd exploded. He felt the tears coming. He had missed this part of performing. He did, however, manage to keep his emotions at bay.

The rest of their set went flawlessly. From "What Makes You Beautiful" to "Story of My Life", the crowd sang along.

As soon as the guys were done, they went backstage & were greeted by Fifth Harmony. They were all so happy.

When it was 5H's turn to take the stage, the crowd went crazy. They really went wild they heard the beginnings of "BO$$".

Their set was brilliant. From "Miss Movin' On" to "Worth It", the girls put on one hell of a show, & like everyone else, the 1D guys were having a blast.

The crowd really went wild when the girls began singing "Sledgehammer". Everyone began singing along including One Direction, who were hanging out backstage. Even the guys were singing along.

After Fifth Harmony's set was over, One Direction joined them onstage for "We Stand Together". In a surprise move, DJ Zedd joined them on stage & positioned himself at the turntables. That especially got Selena Gomez super excited.

The song had the sold-out crowd whipped into a total frenzy. It was amazing.

When it was over, however, Dinah noticed something that caught her eye.

Something involving Louis & Normani.
