For the first time after times of worrying solitude, Niall wanted to be alone. Alone with the person he'll share his portrait of dreams. He wanted to be alone with the girl that tickled his hidden passion to care and to protect others. And the same girl who betrayed him with lies of her identity. Julia was a fan all along! It made Niall's heart sank like when a tossed stone momentarily hits the surface of the water then sinks under the bottom. For once, he thought that normality can still be seen in him yet it was disregarded because his fame overwhelmed it all. He guessed that since Julia knew who he was, she pretended like he was nobody to get her hands on him. Niall carelessly fell in her trap! But sometime between the trap of hers, he saw that she wanted to get out of their presences quick. She refused to go with them multiple times. Then his nagging heart, kept on wanting to be close to her. That's when he realized that deep inside of him a war erupted between his lost thoughts and feelings.
A plane ride to London was ten minutes away. The rest of the band had their own roles in addressing this problem; Liam was on the phone with the management, Harry and Zayn went to Twitter to calm down some fans and Louis talked to Eleanor for a strategy plan. Niall sat on a steel bench on the airport.
That look in Julia's eyes, the way it shouted hurt, as she turned away lingered in Niall's mind. He was hurt too but it didn't amount to what he saw deep in Julia's eyes. Niall saw a crumbling universe in her dark brown eyes.

With all of them working to flatten the crease on this mess, Niall felt he should be working as well. After all, they're in London now and there's no backing down. Maybe he just need to sleep this all out, Julia's confession. There was a time where Louis and Niall fought because Louis was being too silly and stole Niall's chips from his bag. Niall had to physically drag Louis out of his bedroom to interrogate him about the missing chips. Since Louis zipped his mouth shut, Niall let it slip off by sleeping. And that's what he is about to do now but the touchdown to London wasn't easy and it could surely set off anyone's mood for sleeping.
The airport was filled with loads of paparazzi, securities tried to back them off and was still trying when the boys came back. Flashes of lights where scattered, numerous voices sprouted here and there, questioning the boys' opinion on their leaked album. It was beyond suffocating because even as they step on to their vehicle out of a secret way out of the airport, fans were able to follow them and diverese opinions were screamed back at them.
Some were saying, "GIVE OUR MONEY BACK! All that "reserving the album" was a scam!"
Indeed, the album that was supposed to be realeased could be reserved by the fans with payment, so that when the album selling comes up, they don't have to line up from stores. Instead, they will be directly sent to them but this leakage caused everything. EVERYTHING.
Louis was so upset from the news that he was endlessly with a paper and pen to come up with a plan that'll raise money in order to save the tour and the fans. He didn't even dared to touch his carrots and supportive Eleanor was right beside him. Liam assured everyone that everything will be fine. That's because he is Liam. Zayn and Harry tried to answer as many possible questions on twitter to inform the fans and to address their problems. But at the end of everything, they really don't know what to do. Until they haven't reached their hotel room, there was nothing they can do.
