Zayn's POV
"Hey, have you talked to Harry yet?" I hear Demi say through the speaker of the phone. "or Niall?" she continues. "No only Louis and Liam..." I mutter. I have been here for approximately 3 hours now, and can't sleep. I roll over, constantly switching positions in hopes to get some sleep.
"Well you better get something out of them, Zayn. People are gonna notice the tension tomorrow, trust me." she says but I only hear it as a faint whisper. "Mhm" I mumble before falling into a serious state of slumber.

"Zayn, get up" I feel Liam shaking me. "Up" I mutter before pulling a shirt over my head. "We gotta record some this morning, leaving in 10" he says before jogging out of my room. I huff, pulling on some jeans, brushing my teeth, not bothering with my hair.
I make it to the lobby swiftly with 1 minute to spare. I see Harry & Niall on their phones as I try not to make eye contact. But... I need to talk to them sooner or later. Tonight. Tonight after the concert. This can't keep happening. Thinking of Demi... I haven't called her, or Selena.
I quickly grab my phone, as my fingers diall Selena's number. "Hey" I breathe, thankful she picked up at this late our in America. "Hey... Zayn. What's wrong?" she asks. "Nothing, just was gonna ask how Demi was doing, since you know..." "Since what?" "Oh um.. um.. well a couple weeks ago she relapsed.. and I don't want anything else happening while I'm not there." "Oh.. I didn't know that. But I didn't notice anything yesterday, but I will keep an eye out. Okay?" "Okay, thanks!" "Bye" "Bye".

We make it to the studio and start recording "Right Now". I finish my part fairly quickly, avoiding any interaction for the morning. We head to the venus, still no interaction with the guys. This is seriously messing with my head.
The concert goes smoothly although I can't stop thinking of Demi. And I can't keep focusing on Harry and Niall. What is their problem?
We get off of stage fairly quickly and I hop into the car, next stop: hotel. I'll talk to Niall and Harry, separately. We get back to the hotel fairly quickly, and as soon as I get out I call Niall.
"Yea?" he looks back at me. "Can we talk in my room?" I ask. He nods following me upstairs. We make our way over to the two chairs in the kitchen and sit down. I look at him and decide; it's now or never.
"Explain" I say looking him straight in the eye. "What?" he says back. "This" I signal with my hands infront of me. "Ju-just because I have a girlfriend you're not happy with" I say.
Niall takes a deep breathe before looking back up at me. "It's not that anymore, Zayn. I'm over it, okay?" He says, eyes glossy. "Then what is you guys' problem?" I ask looking at him.
"Well-well we are okay now, but... but Harry.." Niall starts. "Niall, what is it?" I say sternly. "It-its nothing okay?" he says before storming off, giving me no time to call after him. I'll just have to find out from Harry myself. That is exactly what I am going to do.
I walk over to the next room, "Harry I gotta talk to you" I say. He suprisingly gets up without an argument. I take him back to my room, sitting him in the exact seat he was just in. "So I was talking to Niall earlier-" I start, but I was cut off. "No- I am not talking about this" he says standing up. I grab his arm, "No, Harry, dammit. We can't just go around ignoring each other. We are in a bad for gods sake" I say calming him down.
"Harry just tell me" I say, as soft as possible. "No" he raises his voice standing up. "Harry, you are going to have to eventually. Stop hiding this from me" I stand up. "It's nothing important" he semi-yells again.
"Yea, well then why do you keep ignoring me? My personal, is MY personal life" I yell because this is just getting out of hand.
"Zayn, you would fucking hate me. It's already as bad enough as it is." "JUST TELL ME" I threaten.
"I LIKE DEMI, OKAY? I HAVE BEEN DISGUISING IT AS HATE. SEEING YOU WITH HER FUCKING BROKE ME. SO GO AHEAD HATE ME FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, BUT I DIDN'T FUCKING CHOOSE THIS" he yells before slamming his door shut.
All I can do is stand there, dumbfounded. How did I not see this?
