Author's Note: Just a few things before I start the chapter. I am fully aware of the boys' specific management, and everything I mention about it in this chapter is obviously false (hence, 'fan fiction.') Also, of course I know that Zayn Malik has left the group in real life--it was a traumatic time for me if I dare admit it. But as of right now, he will continue in the story because of his role in it when I first began writing. Thank you and enjoy!
____________________________________________________________
The group (except Niall) sits uncomfortably in the cusioned chairs in a row in front of the desk. You sit in the corner with the baby twins in their carseats on the floor and Davis sits to your right. The room is very large, but you can tell that the boys feel so crowded.
Louis is seated a few extra feet from the others, with Paul very close behind him. It is the first time you're able to see him since last night. However, his face is still hidden because of the oversized hoodie he apperantly insisted on wearing.
The silence is unbearable. The head of the boys' management sits behind the desk in a large chair with the face of irritation.
"Sir," Liam suddenly says, "It's Niall..."
You notice Louis bury his face into the wall.
"He is..." Liam continues, "He is going to quit One Direction."
The man snorts, then sighs and leans over the desk. "I know," he says. "Niall called me last night."
"What?" Zayn asks. "Last night...?"
"At one o'clock in the morning, mind you."
"Why on earth is he in such a hurry?" Liam asks himself.
"He sounded strange," management mentions.
"Strange? What do you mean?" Harry asks in his deep accent.
"Very monotone," management explains. "Almost seemed confused...but definitely certain of what he wanted."
Louis mumbles something that no one can quite make out, but he is quickly ignored.
"What if we talk to him again?" Zayn suggests.
"Boys," management suddenly says, "It is too late for that, I am afraid."
"Again..." Liam says, "what do you mean?"
"Well, your whole tour is ruined, isn't it?"
The three boys nod slowly.
"There is no doubt about it," management declares. "So, there is no way that you four..." he pauses to glance at Louis, "...possibly only three of you boys can continue."
"That's right sir," Liam quietly says.
"Look boys, we put a lot of money into this tour," management continues. "The stadiums, the stage...lighting, sound systems...the lot. We cannot let the whole thing go to waste."
"What exactly are you saying?" asks Harry.
"Well...I wouldn't normally even tell this to you anymore, considering you will be forced to sign out of your contract. But ultimately...we are replacing you."
"Replacing?" Zayn reacts. "US?"
Management laughs sarcastically. "Yes, YOU! As I already said, the equiment and travel costs are too expensive to give up. A waste of the company's money, really."
"I understand," Harry says, speaking for himself. "Can we ask who is replacing us?"
"It has come this far, so I don't see why not," the man says. "Marsol, please come in here."
