“Alyson, it’s starting!” Zayn called out to her, as much as he can.

Walking in the room with a bottle of water in her hands, she handed it to him and sat on the bed. “They’re going to be fine.” She reassured him as the rest of the boys came into view on the TV.

“Hopefully…”

“Well, Liam, let’s start with the obvious, where is Zayn?” The interviewer said.

“He’s got a tummy bug and he couldn’t make it. But he really wants to be here and he was really upset about it but he’s resting right now.” Liam answered.

“Well, there has been a lot of concern and fans tweeting overnight about it. Is there something more serious than an illness…I mean is there substance abuse or something, what’s going on?”

“Oh my god…” Alyson said as her eyes widened.

“WHAT?! What the hell?! What the fucking hell?!” Zayn said, sitting up.

“No, he’s just got a stomach bug, that’s all it is really.” Liam replied.

“Turn it off! Turn it off, dammit!” Zayn yelled, getting off the bed.

“Zayn, get back in bed. Zayn, you’re not well enough to get up.” Alyson said, walking towards him. “It’s okay, alright? It’s just one silly rumor and it’s not true so don’t mind it.”

“Don’t mind it?! They fucking think I’m on drugs! They think I had an overdose or something! Is that what people really think of me? Really? Just because of one fucking video!”

“Baby, please. You’ll be back in a few days and you’ll show them that it’s not drug abuse and that you’re perfectly fine. Don’t listen to that dumbass, please.”

He looked down and turned away from her.

“Zayn…Zayn, don’t cry. Oh my god, you’re crying. Please don’t cry. Baby, please.” Alyson said, wrapping her arms around him.

He let out a sob as he wrapped his arms around her. “Why is it always me?!”

“Hey, It’s going to be fine. We’re going to show those idiots that you’re fine.”

“I…I would never…I’d never do that. I’d never do that. Just because I smoked weed once doesn’t mean I’m on drugs. Why are they always judging me?!”

She didn’t say anything as she held him, letting him cry and let out his anger as she ran her fingers through his hair.

“I’m going to give them a fucking piece of my mind!” Alyson spoke through the phone.

“Alyson, calm down.” Louis said.

“Calm down?! They fucking called him a damn druggie on TV! How the hell do you want me to calm down?! He’s been crying all day! This isn’t fine, Louis. They’re bringing him over the edge and I don’t know if I can stop him this time from quitting it all. If your fucking management doesn’t do anything about it, I will.”

“We denied all the rumors and nothing like that will be repeated again.”

“Happening once is enough for it to last a life time, Louis.”
