"Thank you boys for being up this early..." Ross, one of the heads over One Direction gave them a small smile through the webcam. "As you are all more than aware, Zayn is away from tour due to some much needed space and time with loved ones."

Louis held back a sarcastic remark, shifting on the bed to place a hand on the small of Liam's back, knowing the lad was aching about his boyfriend being away.

Ross cleared his throat slightly, shuffling his papers-clearly not wanting to have to make this announcement. "We have spent most of the past couple days in relations with Zayn and his lawyer and it is my duty to announce to you that he has decided it is in his best interest to leave the band.

Liam's eyes grew wide, the laptop screen going blurry in an instant and he quickly began shaking his head. "No. No he can't leave. He can't leave just like that what are you talking about?" he asked, voice straining in panic, this had to be a publicity stunt.

Ross looked down, shaking his head, "I'm sorry to have to do this to you, and personally if I were in your position I'd be infuriated that this wasn't face to face news from the source...uh...Liam, I'm speaking directly to you here. Main reasons behind Zayn leaving is-in his words-'while my time with One Direction was a brilliant experience and despite the bonds I was able to create, the one thing that wasn't real throughout it was my relationship with Miss Perrie Edwards from Little Mix. However over the past six months, on top of all the interview questions and meetings I've had with Perrie, I've grown a certain attachment to her that, with the pair of us both travelling, I will not be able to enhance. It is now a sad moment in which I ask you to break the news to my boyfriend Liam Payne, that I don't want to be in our relationship anymore as I've found love somewhere else.'."

Liam let out a small noise in the back of his throat, shaking his head vigorously. "No! You're lying, you're fucking lying! She was a beard, a decoy. She was thrown in because neither of us were ready to be public! You're lying, you forced him to do this!" he screamed, wanting to reach through the screen and strangle Ross.

Ross shook his head, his eyes wet as he watched Liam's breakdown, he watched on as Louis wrapped his arms around the male, pulling him close, trying to get him to calm down, watched as Niall stared at the screen, seemingly lost in his own thoughts, and watched as Harry struggled against the need to cry. "I'm terribly sorry to be the one to break this news to you...all of you, but especially you, Liam. He should have told you face to face but...he didn't. I'm sorry."

Louis hugged Liam tightly against him, shaking his head, "Just shut up, Ross. We'll continue this later." He muttered, reaching forward to end the call, apologies weren't exactly going to make this situation any better.
