A few days went by,Zayn rung occasionally telling us how some things were almost sorted-when he rang he brought everyone together in your hotel room,desperate to find out more news on how hes doing.

The boys were struggling at first but fought through it and learned to deal with Zayn not being on stage.You couldnt wait to see their faces when Zayn comes back.

Zayn had told you and everyone last night that he was going to ring just before everyone went to the next concert.He had an hour left to ring before the boys were due to be at the concert. 

You decided to sit in the hotel room and count down till he skypes you.Everyone were in the hotel room.You watched the clock tick by-gradually getting closer,while everyone was chatting and laughing.

45 minutes. 

You looked at everyone smiling and joining the conversation.

When people say when your having fun time goes by-they was right!

Zayn rang,you looked at the time there was half an hour left till you all had to leave you go to the concert!Zayn normally rings when there was around 10-15 minutes left.

You answered the skype call by clicking the green bubble with phone symbol and then what looked like a video camera. There appeared a heartbroken/upset Zayn-the same apperance he had when you walked in his room,when you both shared a cry and he concluded on leaving the tour.

"Zayn..." You trailed off,you looked at Harry and everyone they all looked gobsmacked,Mia was in Darcy's arms,you looked at Darcy carefully holding her baby sister,she was looking at Zayn confused. You took Mia off Darcy.

"I-im gonna take the girls out the room" you said begining to get up,Harry sat you back down. 

"Y/n dont leave me-i think im going to need you here" Harry said.

"i'll take them" Beau said,you thanked him before handing him Mia gently and watched as he took Darcy and Mia out the room.

Zayn wiped his eyes and began to speak.

"I've had my lawyers look at some papers..." Zayn choked out,you looked at the screen,which had the image of Zayn.You was confused.

"Zayn,man what papers are you on about?" Niall spoke,he looked just like you did and everyone in the room.Confused.

"The band papers,t-the-my lawyers also spoke to Simon as did i" Zayn said,he wasnt facing the screen,he was looking down.Whatever he had to say you knew it wasnt going to be good.

"You confusing us man,whatever it is you can tell us.We'll support you.Just tell us straight-anything you need we will do it" Liam said. 

"I-im...its hard" Zayn said still not looking at the screen-the screen which on his laptop/device should be showing your's,Harry's,Niall's,Liam's.Louis',Luke's,Jai's and Ariana's confused and anxious face.

"Come on man,we're here" Louis said you all nodded.

"Im sorry guys-i really am.I-im leaving the band" Zayn said and looked up to the screen,his eyes were dead on the screen,not blinking just looking at everyones reaction.

"H-how long?" Harry asked.Zayn didnt reply.

"How long man?How long have you wanted to do this?" Harry asked,tears were filling his eyes,Harry was facing the screen waiting for Zayn to say something,you looked at Harry and put your hand on his back for comfort. 

"I had the lawyers look at the papers and speak to Simon a couple days ago-about a day after i left the tour and arrived home" Zayn said,Zayn was avoiding Harry's question sort of.

Wait,what?! Did he really just say that?From all the time's you guys have been skyping-he didnt even think to mention one word to you guys on what he was doing besides 'speaking to family members','speaking to Perrie','having a family gathering and speaking about what actually happened','feelings'-all that but not 'hey guys,I've been having a couple of lawyers check out the band papers and ive had a meeting with Simon.I hate to tell you but im leaving band-its too stressful i hope you understand' If he had told you what was happening then you could appreciate and accept his decision instead of waiting a while to tell everyone.Everyone reacted fine when he told them he wanted to leave the tour-but i guess he just didnt want to tell,maybe he needed to get his mind wrapped around everything first.

"How long have you wanted to leave?"Harry rephrased his question.

"A while"Zayn replied.

"How long is a while Zayn?"Louis asked.

"3 months" Zayn said.Wait he wanted to leave ages ago,before the tour even started.You looked at the boys they sighed,Ariana looked anxious,Luke and Jai had the same expression on their face.Confused.Everyone seemed gutted.

"Look guys,i know i may have upset you but it just dont feel like me anymore-i just dont feel like-..."Zayn trailed off.

"It's not real to me"Zayn finished.

Everyone was completely speechless.Trying to process the fact that Zayn was quitting.Trying to agree with Zayn's decision.Thats all we've done for the past few weeks:Agreeing.

"I just want to be a normal 22 year old" Zayn began to give everyone more reasons. 

"A normal 22 year old?Do you mean try get out the spotlight?"Liam asked. 

Zayn nodded.

"How Zayn?The paparazzi's are still going to be following you.Your not going to be a normal 22 year old!You've been in a worldwide famous boyband and your wanting to exit it?! The paparazzi's are still going to be chasing you with everything you do.Zayn i support your decision and i know it may not feel like it but its hard man!"Harry broke down crying,Harry seemed to be finding it hard the most.The other boys must be finding it hard but just dont want to show it.

"I know Harry,its okay!"Zayn cried.Everyone in the room was in tears including you.

"Its been so many years we've been together as a boyband!Brothers.We're going to stick together whether or not we go our separate ways"Niall began.

"Them years we've been singing,on the road and just fooling around together i've enjoy and will cheerish.We're gonna miss you mate!"Niall finished. 

Zayn smiled weakly.

"I love you guys!" Zayn wiped his eyes and laughed.

"You better get to the concert" Zayn smiled.

"Should we tell the fans?"Liam asked.You stroked Harry's back in circular motion to comfort him.

"No,not yet" Zayn said and Liam nodded.

"I'll tell them soon,you guys better go,i dont want you to be late" Zayn said and with that he ended the call.

"I just dont know why Simon didnt tell us!"Louis said angrily.

"Ask him"Ariana said wiping her eyes.

"We'll do it when we get back"Niall said.With that you all stood up and walked out the hotel room.You went to get your girls and Beau then finally made the way to the stadium where there should be excited fans prepared to see their idols.
