NIALL'S P.O.V

"Hey, Ally!" I called out to Ally, giving her a bear hug. She hugged me back with a little squeez as her body was way smaller than mine. "Hey, Niall," she replied as we started to talk about stuff. Her band was coming on tour with ours so it's important that we get along. And, of course, Ally and I got along pretty well. I like her, and I have a feeling she likes me back as well.

Our conversation was cut off, however, when Simon came in the room and announced his arrival. "Uncle Simon!" I heard Camila and Lauren squeal in unison. "Hello, girls. And guys." He greeted us. We picked a table for 11 people as I chose to sit between Liam and Normani. Harry sat in front of me with Zayn on one side and Camila on the other. I couldn't help but smirk because of what I heard happen between the two. Harry, who clearly noticed gave me a look which said 'i know what you're thinking but please don't start'. I casted a glance at Ally who sat next to Camila as she was giggling about something with Louis and Lauren. I would be lying if I said I wasn't the slight bit jealous of Louis. The meeting+lunch proceeded as it wasn't much of a big deal considering we only talked about the tour and our careers. He cleared up the fact that our first show was going to start at 6 till 9. 1 hour for opening acts(Fifth Harmony and it turns out aswell, 5 Seconds of Summer) and 2 hours for us, One Direction.

After about 3 hours, Simon stood up and said : "Right. I'm going to have to leave now. Good luck for tomorrow, you guys." Smiling and waving us off, he departed the restaurant.
"Soo.." Louis started, attempting to start a conversation. "Uhm..."
"Hey!" Piped up Harry "Who wants to come over to my place for like a hangout or something?"
We all nodded in agreement, seeing it was only 4 or something and most of us had nothing planned for today.

"Oh.. um I have plans with Sophia." Said Liam. I don't know if it was my mind playing tricks on me but I'm pretty sure I saw Ally and Dinah exchange looks of urgency when Li brought Sophia up. I glanced at Ally again who was making hand signals to Dinah. All of a sudden, Dinah gave an exasperated sigh and said "Liam, can Ally and I talk to you?" Ticking her head outside. Harry looked at me as if asking me if I knew anything. I shrugged before Harry whispered to Camila and I saw her shrug aswell. After one or two seconds, we just started talking as if nothing happened when the three walked out.

LIAM'S P.O.V

Agreeing, I walked behind Dinah who led Ally and I outside the restaurant. Thankfully, there were only three or four people around and no paps. "What is it?" I asked them. They gave each other a look and then Ally spoke up.

"Liam, this is gonna be really hard to hear and I'm sooo sorry about this." She said. I looked at her a confused expression on my face. What is she talking about?

"This morning.. around 3, I suppose, I heard my neighbour, Jake talking with someone when I got out to get the daily newspapers." Started Ally "I-I think he was hooking up with Sophia."

I could feel my body tense, my adreneline rushing even though I just stood there listening. "Li, you can believe whatever you want but Ally just wanted you to know." Dinah said. I forgot she was even there. Ally then said all the things she heard them say as I stood there looking hopeless.

"No, no. Th-this can't be t-true" I replied, beginning to stutter "Ally, that couldn't have been Sophia." Ally and Dinah glanced at each other, nervous. I could see they were telling the truth. They wouldn't lie. Is Sophia actually cheating on me? I shook my head, refusing to belive in the truth, again. "Li, I'm sorry you had to hear it this way" Dinah said, surprising me with a hug, obviously attempting to calm me down. Yup. Its deffo true Sophia's cheating. Ugh.

I hugged Dinah back as I felt the tears stinging my eyes. "What are you gonna do now?" Asked Ally. Still in Dinah's embrace, I shook my head vigorously. "I don't know" I replied. I felt Dinah squeeze me tighter to give me reassurence before pulling back. It worked. I felt slightly better. "Thanks guys... for telling me." I said.
"Oh, no problem." Replied Dinah and Ally. "You're an awesome guy, Li. Don't let something as stupid as this bring you down because you don't deserve to be treated like this" added Dinah. I smiled at her sweet words as the three of us made our way back inside. I stopped in my tracks and said : "Hey, I think I'll head back home. Tell the others about Sophia because I just can't deal with people right now. I just need some time alone." I saw them nod, understanding my current situation and heading back inside while I walked away to find a bus stop so I could go home.
