The Rebel

Epilogue

- Zayn -

We formed a circle backstage and talked about the songs we're gonna sing at the stage. We've been doing this for six years and we've publish five albums already. Our victory from the contest in California helped us to be this popular.

"Okay, let's start!" Liam said and his voice is cracking, probably from crying. Alexa is crying too so as Harry and Louis.

This is our last concert. The very last concert. All of us knew this is going to happen. It's really the last.

"C'mon guys!" Randolph, our bodyguard said.

We positioned ourselves and the door opens. We walk to our instruments and I started to beat my drums. The lads followed the rhythm and finish the song in less than three minutes.

"Hello, London!" Harry shouted from the microphone, his voice sounds sad. The crowd cheered loudly and I wave to the group of girls calling my name.

"I hope you guys are enjoying tonight." Niall said as he walk in the center with his guitar.

"They are enjoying, Niall. It's very obvious." Alexa teased him.

The song we sang are Night Changes, then Fuckin' Perfect by P!nk, and Moments which is composed by Niall and Alexa.

We had a meeting last week about this, that this will be the last and we all felt sad about it. This will be last concert that The Rebel fans will see us. The fans don't know and it saddens us that we will see them cry, right in front of us.

"So, this next song is for everyone in the world specially to our fans. You know, guys, you're the most incredible fans in the world and we can't thank you enough for the support you gave us." Harry started to make the ending speech and I turned around and wipe the tear that fell from my eye.

"You know we'll always be here for you no matter what happen. So, the best we can do now is smile and enjoy this song. This is for all of you." Liam said.

He started to play the piano intro of See You Again by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth. The fans waved their hands from left to right while raising them up in the air. Some fans in the front row and west wing are crying and I feel bad about it.

Harry: It's been a long day, without you my friend. And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.

Niall: We've come a long way, from where we began. And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. See you again.

Liam started to rap with Alexa and I started to sing my line which is obviously just the same with Niall and Harry but with the higher note. We finished the song and the fans are crying already.

"So, everyone's kinda crying." Harry's almost-crying voice said.

"This is sad, you know?" Alexa said as she stop herself from crying. "We will always be here for you. We will never leave you because we love all of you."

"Yes, we promise that we won't leave you." I said through my mic. "It just that.. It happened to be."

The lads look at me and I bow my head down. Why do I have to say that? Because it's gonna happen. We don't have any choice.

"Lad," Liam said and he wiped the tears from his eyes.

"We're so fucking sorry to disappoint millions of dedicated fans like you. We're really sorry." I said through the mic, my voice almost cracking because I am crying. I sniffled and you can clearly hear it from the speakers of the arena. The fans are crying so hard and deep inside me, I just want to step out of this stage and stay beside them while I hug them all and tell them to be strong for us.

"We will never stop making you smile and we will make more music for you." Harry cried in the microphone. "Okay, so who's up for knock knock jokes? I made a bunch of them while waiting for the show to start."

Harry tried to lighten up the mood and Randolph handed him his journal of knock knocks. Harry opened it and scan the pages.

"Okay, here. Knock knock!" He said.

"Who's there?" The crowd answered.

"Irish!" Harry said.

"Irish who?"

"Irish you a merry christmas..." Harry lowered his voice to the last line. "Oh my God! Thank you so much for laughing! What's your name?"

The girl shouted her name and Harry move closer.

"Bethany! Hello!" He waved.

"Okay, knock knock!" He walk around and I beat my drums.

"Who's there?"

"Dwayne!"

"Dwayne who?"

"Dwayne the bathtub! I'm drowning!" He dramatically demonstrate and I laugh at him but at the same time, I'm crying.

"Last knock knock." Harry said. "Knock knock!"

"Who's there?"

"Daisy!"

"Daisy who!"

"Daisy me rollin', they hatin'" We all laughed at him and Alexa is dying of laughter beside Liam.

"Who wants more?" He asks and the crowd shouted.

"Knock knock!"

"Who's there?"

"Ach!"

"Ach who!"

"Sounds like everyone has a cold right now."

I laughed at him and the crowd keep on laughing, but at the same time they're crying just like me.

"So, lad. Those are some very nice knock knocks." Liam said as he slung his arms on Harry with Alexa. Niall, Louis, and I gather with them so as the back-ups.

"Well, with the help of Katy. Who wouldn't love them?" Harry said.

"So now what? Is this where we say goodbye?" Niall said.

"There''s no such word as goodbye, Niall." I said to him.

"Fuck. Where did I even got that word? Sorry guys." Niall said and Llouis wipe the tears away from his eyes.

"I just can't speak about what is happening right now. We can't accept the fact that we will just disappoint you, guys. But I think this will be the most memorable concert to everyone." Louis said. "As Zayn said, there's no such word as goodbye. There's only farewell."

"Farewell, to you my friends. We'll see each other again." Liam sang on his mic and Alexa cried on his shoulders. Liam comforts her by rubbing her shoulders and kissin her on her hair.

"Farewell!" We waved to them and make our very last group hug.

"Let's take a group selfie with them. Randolph?" Alexa called him and we gave him our phones.

"Excuse me, can the other security guards fix the center because the fans can't be seen. Please put the other half on this side and the other half on that side." Liam said.

We positioned ourselves and smiled. Randolph took two pictures each phone. He returned it to us and we thank him.

"We were The Rebels." We bowed down together and the lights went out after we straight up.

So I guess this musical journey of The Rebels will end here. We will just be Louis, Liam, Niall, Zayn, Alexa, and Harry.
