Alex's *POV*

I look down at the text trying not to sob, and I rush over to my seat.

Once I sit down I lean my forehead on the window and put my earbuds in, listening to Ed Sheeran.

It's not until I'm listening to Autumn Leaves that I feel wet tears in my cheeks, thinking about Zayn. I can't bring myself to change the song, I just sit here crying and listening to the lyrics of the song.

Is it that it's over or do birds still sing for you?

Float down

Like autumn leaves

And Hush now

Close your eyes before the sleep

And you're miles away

And yesterday you were here with me

Ooh how I miss you

My symphony played the song that carried you out

And Ooh how I miss you

I miss you and I wish you'd stay

I'm mad at myself because I broke my promise to Zayn.

Regretting the fact that I dated him, as soon as I knew Zayn was in a band with Liam I should have stopped talking to him, I should have stopped falling for him, and I was falling hard and fast, I regret everything.

I wipe the tears and take a breath and calm myself, glad that the seat next to me is empty.

Zayn's *POV*

I look at the phone, waiting for her to text me back.

Part of me knows she won't. I go sit on the couch as soon as I get inside Liam's house. The guys look at me and I guess they notice my frown cause they turn the telly of and look at me, waiting for an explanation.

"She is gone." I say and they look like they don't understand. I run a hand through my hair making it messy and moving my gaze so I look at Liam.

"Alex went to America." I say and the guys look shocked, Liam looks ready to cry. I feel my eyes starting to water and I curl up into a ball. It's all becoming to much, the attention from the paps, the bad press, people hating me because of my faith, and now I've lost my girl, the girl I fell for, the girl I fell for hard and fast.

"Because of me?" Liam asks, his voice cracking and a stray tear rolls down his cheek.

I want to say no. I want to tell him it was always her dream to move there, but it wasn't. I want to tell him that she couldn't handle the relationship with me, I want to say anything other than that it's his fault.

Liam's *POV*

Was I that bad of a brother that my sister had to flee across the pond just to get away from me. Zayn hasn't said much since he came back, he has been calling Alex over and over again, kind of like how I was first when I came here.

People always think being famous is being perfect, everything perfect, clothes, food, houses, family and friends, that's bull. Nothing is ever perfect and I know that now.

Alex's *POV*

I rush out of the cab and into the hotel I'm staying at.

My heart aching for the dark haired, tattooed man-child I fell for.

I fall back first into the bed and breath out a heavy sigh as I think about what I'm going to do in America, I really have this urge to find someone to sign me, it's my dream, but being Liam Payne's sister makes it a little difficult.

I turn on my side and close my eyes, hoping for some shut eye.

I sit up squinting my eyes as I look around the room.

My heart starts to beat faster when I don't know the room I'm in, until I realize I moved to America. Home sickness fills my mind but I brush it of and go and sit down on the couch to watch the telly.

Zayn's *POV*

I haven't talked to the guys and I'm just hanging out in my room, doing nothing. I don't eat I don't sleep I just think.

Harry's *POV*

I look at Niall and Louis worriedly as Liam and Zayn deny coming out of the rooms they've locked themselves inside of. Niall tries to tell us they just need time.

"I think they need Alex." I say arguing against his point.

"The more time we give them, the more they don't want to come out." Louis backs me up but Niall just sighs looking around the room until his eyes stop at a certain object.

"His phone." He whispers and rushes over to the spot.

"Zayn's phone! We'll just call her and ask her to talk them out of those rooms!" He says and I look over at Lou to see his eyes sparkling with excitement of the idea to help his best friends.

I nod and he dials the number and we wait.

"Uh... Hello?" Her voice, uncertain, rings through the speaker. I wait for the guys to speal but they just stare at me.

"Uh, hey Alex, I was wondering if you could talk to Liam and Zayn? They've been locked inside their rooms and refuse to come out." I tell her and we hear her sigh on the other line.

"Okay, but... Liam first." She says and I almost run to the door to Liam's room, I knock until a tired looking, with messy hair and clearly un shaved face, Liam looks at us and than at the phone.

"It's for you." I say and hand him the phone.

Liam's *POV*

"Um, hello?" I ask and sit down on the bed trying hard not to fall back asleep.

"Hey Li-Li." I hear a soft voice on the phone, a voice I know from my childhood, a tone that is very different to the one she used talking to me a few days ago.

"A-Alex!" I exclaim surprised as I stand up from excitement of her talking to me.

"Yes, the boys told me you've been hibernating in your room because of me." She says and I can almost see the small smile playing at her lips while she says the words.

"Uh, I guess sadness got the best of me." I say awkwardly and wonder if she really is concerned.

"Liam, I never knew who I was and that's partly the reason I came here, it has nothing to do with you! I love you okay! I love you big bro." She says and tears start forming in my eyes at her saying that.

"Alex I always loved you, and I am so sorry for everything I love you." I say and I hear her laugh a little.

"Is it okay if I talk to Zayn now? He's also locked in his room." She says and I walk over to the room Zayn is sleeping in and knock on the door, a tired looking Zayn with bags under his eyes and stubble on his jaw and chin. I hand him the phone and run to the bathroom to shave and shower.

Zayn's *POV*

I put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I ask, wondering who's calling me.

"Zayn, I am so sorry, you have no idea how much I wanted to stay with you! To be with you!" I hear her and I sigh listening to her voice, convincing myself it's not a dream.

"Then why didn't you?" I ask her sounding ruder then I intended.

"I couldn't! I need to find who I am, as cliché as it sounds, I never knew who I wanted to be I always knew who I didn't want to be, Liam's sister. Now I have to be me." She says, her voice cracking and I close my eyes, imagining her crying because of me.

"Come back as soon as possible." I say, don't ask, just say.

"I promise." She says.

"Look I have to go talk to you later, bye!" She rushes out and then hangs up.
