They Say Goodbye to Zayn

If you're having trouble coping with Zayn leaving 1D, don't worry. I am too. So to help, I'm bringing the two bands together for one special chapter. I hope you like it.

Ashton hugged Zayn tight and teared up a bit. "I'm gonna miss hanging out with you mate." Zayn returned the hug and patted Ash on the back. "I'll miss you too. But it's not like I'm leaving the planet." Michael sniffled from the couch and wiped at the "invisible" tears running down his cheek. "Zayn it's not going to be the same without you." Calum admitted and Zayn smiled sadly at him. "I know. But it's for the best."

Louis walked into the room, followed by Niall and Liam. "I'm guessing this is where the goodbye party is." Luke wandered over to greet them as Harry crashed in through the back door. "Sorry I'm late! I had to...well nothing. I'm just late." Louis rolled his eyes and whacked Harry upside the head. "Nice going assclown." Luke raised his hand like a child and waited to be called on. "Yes Luke?" Liam acknowledged. "Um yeah. Can we all get along for the party? For Zayn's sake." Niall, Harry, Liam, Louis, Calum, Ashton, and Michael all shared glances. "Yes." They answered at once.

"Remember the time we all played Teenage Dirtbag on the Take Me Home Tour?" Harry mentioned and Zayn grinned widely. "Yeah the one where our band threw pies in our faces?" The boys all laughed and took sips of their beers. "Good times." Niall said in his thick accent. "We've had a great time touring with you guys. A lot of pranks and fun. Thank you for that." Ashton nudged Zayn and Liam. "So have we! Thanks for agreeing to tour with us." Louis smiled. The doorbell rang and the boys looked at each other confused. "Um..we're all here. Who else is coming?" Harry questioned. They all played rock paper scissors to see who'd answer the door and after about thirty rounds, Luke finally lost. He flipped the boys off and walked to the door.

"What are you doing here?" Luke asked excitedly. "I had to come! Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss this for the world." In walked Mr. Ed Sheeran with a giant box in his hands. "Hey guys! Someone's here to say goodbye to Zayn." Luke said, walking back into the lounge. Calum raised an eyebrow. "Who?" Right on cue, Ed walked in with a smile and his red hair. "Ed!" Harry yelled and Zayn grinned. "I just thought I'd stop by and say good luck to Mr. Malik over here." Ed announced and set the box down on the coffee table. "Thanks mate. It means a lot." Zayn looked around at his former band mates and best friends and new friends. He was definitely going to miss this.

It turns out the giant box Ed had brought, contained a large marble cake with the words "Good luck Zayn! We'll miss you!" written across the top. The cake was demolished within ten minutes. "Ok if I explode frosting everywhere, tell mum I love her." Michael groaned. Liam laughed and Niall let out a big burp. "Great. Thanks." Louis said, waving away Niall's gas. Ashton was busy taking pictures of the get together, as well as making keeks. Harry and Calum were talking about who knows what and Luke was asking Ed about song writing. Zayn ran a hand through his hair and remembered the good times he's had being a part of One Direction. "Guys I have an idea."

Luke, Ed, Niall, Michael, and Calum all held their guitairs and Ashton sat on his cajon box and smiled. "On three. One, two, three." Ash called off and the five started playing their guitars to the slow tune. Zayn cleared his throat.

"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me, but bear this in mind it was meant to be. And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks and it all makes sense to me."

Liam grinned at Zayn for hitting every not perfectly and started his verse.

"I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile, you've never loved your stomach or your thighs, the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine but I'll love them endlessly."

Liam, Zayn, and Ed harmonized together and brought it to the chorus.

"I won't let these little things slip, out of my mouth, but if I do, it's you, oh it's you they add up to, I'm in love with you. And all these little things."
