Leigh-Anne nearly choked on air, her eyes blinking, and widened like two saucers. He couldn’t be serious. “You’re not..serious…are you?" she asked, skeptical of the question. She knew Zayn wasn’t happy, and she knew that for a fact. He wasn’t happy with his career,or with his way of living. She saw all of that, but she’d never thought in a million years he’d leave the group. She felt like she was about to be sick.
"Of course I’m serious." he snapped, furrowing his eyebrows into one, and scrunching his nose. Zayn couldn’t say he was ever so sure of something in his life. Sure the band had been a complete success in the beginning, but what goes up, must come down. And that works with the mess of One Direction too. “And.." Zayn started, walking toward Leigh and rubbing her shoulders almost as a bribing of a sort. “I was hoping you could help me." he finished, kissing her neck quickly and massaging her shoulders.
Leigh sighed deeply, she knew he wasn’t happy. But, but this….it was just so sudden. So…drastic. “But. Can’t you just wait-" “No Leigh. I can’t do this anymore babe. You see for yourself how mad and unorganized everything is. It’s a train wreck. And all it’s gonna do it bring me down hill even more." he said, stopping his work on her shoulders and returning to his seat across from her. He took both her hands in his, looking into her eyes.
"Baby, I need to leave. It’s only best. I’m bringing them down anyways apparently." he said, shrugging. He didn’t care about his decision sounding selfish. He’s been only thinking about everyone, but himself for the past year, and look where it’s gotten him. This will work. He’s been dreaming of a solo career since he was 15. All he needs is a platform. A new record label.
"So….you’ll help me right?" he asked, biting his lip. Leigh looked skeptical, and he wouldn’t take no for an answer, not now.
"Babe, Please?" he begged again, pouring his sad, and pleading eyes into hers. Leigh could never get past Zayn’s eyes. They were some unique color, honey, with splashes of green laced all through it. And when he’s pleading like this, his eyes become persuasive. She can’t say no to him. It’s impossible for her to say no to him.
She sighed, looking down at her twiddling thumbs, and bit her lip. “I’ve got to make a few calls to get them started." she said, looking up to his eyes again with a smile that easily said she was hesitant of the decision in the first place. But that went unnoticed by Zayn, as his smile slowly built into a huge one from ear to ear. “You’ll be just Zayn Malik in no time." He nearly leaped from his seat, and gripped Leigh’s face, giving her a quick kiss. “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." he cooed, smiling wide at her as he kissed all over her face. She couldn’t help the giggles erupting out of her. And that reminded her of the happiness she’d see in him. That’s the only thing motivating her, and telling her it’ll be okay because he’ll be happy for once now.
But Leigh-Anne had a terrible feeling about this.
