It was 9am and the studio was silent, you could hear a pin drop. Zayn was casually checking his reflection in the shiny grand piano.

‘Zayn, what are you doing?’ Louis laughed.

'Just making sure I look good!’ He replied, looking at the floor, blushing.

The boys’ eyes scanned each other cautiously.

‘So, you two still not talking?’ Harry questioned looking at both Liam and Niall, who were sat as far apart from each other as possible.

‘NO!’ they both said in sync.

‘You really need to sort this out!’ Harry replied.

‘Yes, you do!’ Louis added.

Niall and Liam made eye contact for a split second, trying to avoid the subject.

It was now 10am and the boys still hadn’t made any improvement on their new song.

‘Come on guys, we’ve been sat here for 1hr in complete silence, either sort this situation out, or let’s just go!’ Harry complained.

‘Harry, this argument doesn’t involve you, you don’t understand!’ Liam argued.

‘I was only trying to help sort this out’ Harry said, shocked at how Liam had just flipped.

‘Why don’t we all have a break for a few mins, just to clear our heads?’ Louis suggested.

‘Good idea!’ Niall agreed.

After 10 minutes everyone but Zayn and Liam had returned to the studio. Zayn suddenly burst through the door and his eyes were glued to Louis.

‘Louis how could you?!’ He exclaimed.

‘What, what have I done?’ Louis replied, his eyes widening.

‘You called Abi and Olivia last night, when we specifically told you not too?!’

All eyes were drawn to Louis, who was nervously tapping his knee.

‘No I never. Why would you say that?’

‘Because, I picked your phone up by accident and saw a message they had sent you this morning’

‘What did you say Louis?!’ Niall asked.

Louis shuffled in his chair.

‘Well...errm...Um...I was just so upset with you and Liam not talking I just didn’t know what to do, I didn’t want to call them, but I just had to. Im sorry’

‘Louis! What were you thinking!? Just wait until Liam finds out!’ Harry butted in nervously

‘Wait until Liam finds out about what?!’

The room fell silent as they slowly turned towards the door, to find Liam stood there cluelessly carrying a bottle of water.

‘Well, Louis decided it would be a good idea to ring Abi and Olivia and tell them we had an argument last night, when we promised we wouldn’t!’ Niall told Liam.

Liam’s face dropped as Niall said this.

‘Why did you RING THEM?!’ Liam screamed.

‘Because I was just so upset with you arguing!’ Louis argued.

‘That doesn’t give you the right to tell them our problems!’

‘Wait. Wait guys. Do you even know what they said in the text?’ Harry asked.

Zayn quickly pulled out Louis phone and read the message to the boys.

‘Hey Lou, how are you this morning? You sounded really upset when you rang us last night. Hope everything’s okay. Olivia & Abigail <3’

Liam aggressively snatched the phone from Zayn and pressed call on Abi’s name.

‘Hello?’ Abi said.

‘Hi Abi, its Liam, what did Louis tell you last night?’ Liam demanded.

‘Errm…hi?? And he was just saying he was upset about you and Niall arguing last night, was it true?’ Abi questioned.

‘We weren’t arguing we were just stating our opinions.’ Liam pointed out.

‘Well Louis sounded pretty torn up about it!’

‘Well Louis is just a very emotional person....’

‘I am not!!’ Louis screamed. 

‘Me and Olivia both think you need to work this out, it’s not right that you and Niall have fallen out over some disagreement’ Abi said defensively.

‘I guess it did get abit out of hand in the car last night, I just didn’t want you two to think we we're freaks’ Liam mummed.

‘Why would we think your freaks?’ Olivia asked, appearing from nowhere.

‘Because we were going to text you both last night, but we didn’t want to scare you away’ Niall replied in his adorable Irish accent.

‘Hahaa, nahh we would have never thought that, but you really shouldn’t have got worked up about it you and Liam are really good friends, it would be a shame to fall out over this’ Olivia answered.

'Anyway why did you fall out over this, it’s not exactly a big deal. Just saying’ Abi added.

‘Errmm. No reason....’ Niall and Liam said nervously.

‘Oh okay, well we’re gunna go now got our English project to finish, just text if you need us. Okay?’ Olivia said.

‘Yep sure, see you soon..’ Liam and Niall both said in sync.

‘Byee!!’ Abi and Olivia replied.

‘Well that was an awkward conversation’ Niall said.

‘You got that right, they ask so many questions, and it’s hard to answer them’ Liam added.

‘So we okay now Liam?’ asked Niall hopefully.

‘Yeah, course, I can’t stay mad at you forever’ Liam replied.

They both shook hands and gave each other an apologetic man hug.

‘Anyway, why was it such a big deal that we contacted the girls?’ Zayn sneakily asked.

Liam and Niall glanced at each other nervously. They moved in their seats. Niall cleared his throat and looked up and Liam.

Louis gulped.

‘Errm well you see, the things is.’

‘Guys what are you doing, it’s not a social group! Let’s get back out there and get some work done. NOW!’  Simon Cowell demanded.

The boys jumped out of their seats and scurried back to the stage for rehearsals.

‘Well done today boys’ Simon called after the boys as they left the arena.

‘Thanks Cowell’ the boys said in sync.

‘I’m starving!’ Niall moaned.

‘Niall your always hungry’ Liam laughed.

‘How about seen as we’ve had a stressful day, we all go to Nando’s?’ Harry suggested.

‘I love you Harry! But don’t you mean Niallandos?’ Niall joked.

The boys laughed as they climbed into the mini bus.

‘So Liam and Niall you gunna finish of telling us why it was such a big deal to text the girls?’ Zayn questioned.

‘Oh yeah, don’t think we forgot’ Louis added.

Harry laughed as Zayn and Louis high-fived each other.

‘Oh yeah...Errrm, oh look we’re here!’ Liam said relieved.

And with that Liam quickly dived out of the bus, Niall quickly following.

‘We will find out Liam!’ Harry shouted after them.
