kidnapped by one direction

CHAPTER 36

Morgan's Perspective

"Babe, it's okay," Niall says. I shake my head, furiously wiping at my eyes, "If okay means everything is ruined then yeah, everything is okay."

"Morgan."

"Look, Niall, I am so happy for Zayn but it's just the fact there's no more One Direction," I whisper, "all your fans will be devastated."

"It's his choice. He wanted to leave. I think it is his time, have you seen what people have been saying?" Niall asks, rubbing my back. I shake my head, looking at the ground. "I guess."

"Don't be upset, okay? It's his own choice and now he's going to be happy. There's still Liam, Louis, Harry and I."

I shrug, putting my head on his shoulder, "Remember back when you first kidnapped me? I was so happy. We were so happy."

"Fame does that to people. We are too caught up with all that," Niall whispers. "I see why Zayn wants to leave."

"I love you," I whisper quietly, hoping he doesn't leave too. Niall smiles and kisses me on the lips. "I love you too."

Zayn tweeted about it all. Simon understands. Zayn is doing one last concert then he's gone. I can't believe how much time I've spent with these boys. All the happy and sad memories. It's kind of crazy.

"Tomorrow is our last concert with Zayn," Liam tells me quietly. "I-I-"

He stops, and leans back on the couch, and unexpectedly starts crying. A lump forms in my throat as I stare at Liam.

"I can't handle it all, Morgan. He's leaving us. I can't-"

"It's okay," I weakly smile. "He's going to be happier."

"Was he not happy with us?" Liam asks, and I nearly start crying too.

"I love Zayn," Louis says to me honestly. Harry pouts, "I thought you loved me."

I laugh a little at that.

"I do love you. I love you too Morgan," Louis whispers. "I wish that he didn't have to leave."

"Me too. But he wants to live normally. To be happier," I say, fighting off the tears. "We can't stop him."

"I-I remember when Zayn pretended to leave. I cried for hours," Harry whispers. "Now that he's actually leaving, I have no more tears left to shed. I've cried all last night."

"Me too," Louis whispers. "We all cried together."

"This is it guys," Zayn yells. "My last concert. Forever."

All the fans stand quiet, sniffles and sobs only heard over Zayn's voice. I bring my hand up to my mouth, trying to stop the sobs.

"Don't forget I love you, because I really do."

The crowd yells back to Zayn that they love him so much. I wipe the tears from my eyes, noticing how the four other boys were crying behind Zayn. Zayn too was crying.

"I'm going in another direction," Zayn whispers into the microphone. "This is it, guys. This is the last of me."

Everybody stays silent.

"Goodbye."

And then the crowd starts sobbing.
