Liam's view:

"Hmm" Liam let out a groan as he heard his phone going off. He pushed himself up on his elbow blinding reaching around for his ringing phone. He managed to find it quickly answering it.
"Hello?" He asked sleepy he rested his head against his pillow waiting for an answer. "Liam?" Came his sister Ruth's voice she sounded like she had been crying.
"Ruth?" He asked sitting up his sister didn't usually call him with how busy they both were,the time zones etc.

"Is something wrong?" He asked when Ruth didn't say anything after a moment. "God Liam" sobbed Ruth making Liam worry even more "Ruth your scarying me what the hell is wrong?" He asked wishing more than anything that he was home with his family especially with his sister crying like this.
"Li grandpa passed away last night" Ruth whispered letting out another sob Liam felt like he had been punched he was incredibly close to his grandfather his granddad always encouraged him to chase his dream and never to stop singing.
"What?" He asked praying that his sister was just fucking with him. "Granddad is dead Liam" Ruth said once again sniffing. Liam let out a choked sobbed doing his best not to let out a scream of heartache "god" he sobbed doing his best to stay calm the last thing he wanted was to get the other boys attention he didn't want them to see him like this "mom didn't want me to tell you she didn't want to hurt the show" Ruth whispered causing Liam to scoff "of course she did" he muttered "she means we'll" Ruth said "can you come home for the funeral?" She added "fuck I don't know we're so busy" Liam said digging the heel of his palm in his eye doing his best to stop the tears.
"It's okay Liam" Ruth whispered wishing more then anything that she was with her brother so she could pull him into her arms and just hold him. "Liam you should try to get some sleep I'll keep you updated okay" she said softly running her fingers through her hair she hated that not only did she call and wake up her baby brother but now she couldn't do anything other then tell him he should get some sleep.

He nodded "yeah your probably right" he said softly "I love you" he added "I love you too". Ruth whispered before hanging up the phone. Liam placed his phone back on the bed side table with a sigh he knew for a fact that he wasn't gonna be getting any sleep. He couldn't believe his grandpa died he had just talked to him not that long ago before the boys got on there flights. The last thing his granddad told him was that he was proud of him and that he loved him.

"Fuck" Liam whispered forcing himself up from the bed he started pacing back and forth running his fingers through his hair tugging at it harshly he needed to feel something because right now he was completely numb. He so badly wanted to wake up one of the boys just so he wasn't alone maybe get in some comfort and cuddles for a band of 5 guys there was always a lot of cuddling and Liam loved when they had there little cuddle sections.

After pacing back and forth for a few more moments he quickly grabbed his jacket making his way out of his hotel room. He quickly made his way down the very long hallway making his way to Niall's room. Once he arrived at Niall's door he stood outside for a moment hesitating wondering if he really should wake up his friend. Before Liam could knock on the door the hotel door open which startled Liam "Liam?" asked Niall running the sleep out of his eyes looking at his older friend in confusion.

Niall's view:

Niall had no idea what woke him up but he had a feeling that he needed to wake up he had a gut feeling that he was needed.
He got out of his bed making his way to the hotel door quickly opening it. He was taken back to see Liam was standing in front of his door looking a little out of it. "Liam?" He asked rubbing the sleep out of his eye. "Is something wrong?" He added taking in his friend. He frowned when he noticed the redness in his friends eyes "have you've been crying?" He asked gently grabbing Liam's hand pulling him into his hotel room.
He wasn't gonna lie he was a little freaked out that Liam hadn't said a word to him he wasn't use to seeing Liam like this his larger then life friend seemed so small and lost. "Liam your scaring me" admitted niall "he's dead" Liam whispered "whose dead?" Niall asked softly "my granddad" Liam said his voice breaking.

"Oh God Liam" Niall whispered pulling his taller friend in for a much needed hug "I'm so sorry for your lost Liam" he said softly moving closer to the bed once they were on the bed he quickly pulled him into his arms he knew how close Liam was to his grandfather and knew this was killing his gentle friend. He felt his heart break as Liam started to sob clinging onto Niall's shirt "that's it let it out" Niall whispered kissing Liam's forehead he knew Liam needed all the comfort he could get at the moment.

Leaving one hand on Liam's back he used his other hand to grab his phone quickly shooting off a text to the other boys before placing his phone back down. Louis had a master key that allowed him to get into any of the boys rooms so Niall wouldn't have to get up and let them in.
"It hurts" Liam sobbed "I know it does baby I know it does" Niall said softly wishing he could take his friends pain.

It didn't take long before he heard his door opening "Niall? What's the 911" asked Louis making his way into the room harry, and Zayn at his heels "Liam's granddad passed away" he said softly "oh Liam" harry whispered making his way to the other side of the bed wrapping his arms around Liam from behind. "I'm so sorry for your lost". Zayn said making his way on the bed as well placing his hands on Liam's legs squeezing them gently "oh Payno" Louis said softly sitting next to Niall grabbing Liam's hand "let it all out Liam let us take care of you for once". Harry said resting his head against Liam's back squeezing him tightly as Liam cried some more.
The boys knew that Liam didn't like to fall a part he was so use to taking care of everyone else that he often didn't take care of himself the fact that he was letting himself break in front of the boys meant he trusted the boys enough for them to see him lowering his walls.

The 4 boys shared a look each providing there fallen friend as much comfort as they could. They would always provide all the comfort he would need in upcoming weeks. After all they were family.

Rest in peace grandpa Payne 💖
