Jasmines POV

"I can't believe we've been here for 2 months already." Hailey sighed sadly. She was leaning against the head board on Harry's bed running her hand through his curls as his head rested in her lap. Louis and I were snuggled up on the couch and we were in the middle of watching "The First Time". I'm not sure what everyone else was up to.

"I know... But why so glum chum?" Lou asked, sincerely. She shook her head and leaned it back against the wall, clenching her eyes shut.

"I just... I'm not ready to leave. I mean, I know we still have two months but after that... Things are gonna change and I'm scared..."

She was right, things would change and quite honestly I was scared too. Harry sat up and gently pulled her into his chest as small sniffles started sounding from her. He kissed the top of her head lovingly and continued to stroke her hair as he said, "Love, don't be scared okay? I love you and nothing is gonna stop that! If you have to go back to Doncaster instead of staying here in Manchester I'll still come see you almost everyday and I'll call you every night and I'll be super cheesy and serenade you with corny love songs because my love you for you is so cliché that it's perfect and I'm not gonna let anything happen to us, alright? Do you understand?"

She pulled her head from his chest, eyes red rimmed, and looked him reassuringly in the eyes as he held her head between his hands. "Promise?" She squeaked.

He nodded his head and cracked a small smile as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "I promise. I love you, Hailey Tomlinson."

She pecked his lips chastely and whispered, "And I love you, Harry Styles." He pulled her closer her, sealing the small distance between them with a soft open mouth kiss. Mockery and sarcasm are my best assets so I turned to Lou dramatically and slapped my hands down on his shoulder letting out a loud gasp. He smirked as he caught on and swiftly scooped me into his lap, faking concern. "What's wrong, my love?"

"Nothing I just... I just..." I trailed off.

"Just what angel?"

"I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LOUIS WILLIAM TOMLINSON!" Lou and I did our best to remain serious as I could her Harry and Hailey trying to muffle their sniggers.

"I LOVE YOU TOO JASMINE LEIGHA KANE!" He pressed his lips to mine using an over exaggerated 'muah' sound before pulling away and grinning like a maniac. The whole room was silent for an awkward moment before the four of us burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Do we really seem that cheesy?" Hailey giggled. I shot her a cheeky wink and a flashy smile.

"Yes, yes you do!"

"Fair enough." Harry shrugged.

"No but really though can we be serious just for a minute, Haz you can't drive out to Doncaster everyday just to see me. That's crazy!" Hailey huffed. "I wish I could just stay here, I wish we all could..."

"Then do it!" Louis smiled.

"Our parents would never let us do that Lou!" I stated. If I even asked to move in with my boyfriend and his friends my dad would have my head, and Louis' balls!

"Jazz is right... I'm gonna miss being here everyday with all of you.."

"Hailey, I promise you we'll make this work, I love you and the girls too much to let you all go." Harry assured. It warmed my heart to know that these guys would do anything for us! And we don't have to worry about them leaving anytime soon.

Liam's POV

FUCK!!!!! Pardon my language but fuck fuck fuck! This is so bad! I just got off the phone with Simon. Our tour wasn't supposed to start for another 4 months and now it's starts in less than 2!! How in the hell our we gonna tell the girls? We'll be gone for at least 4 months! And even then we only come back for 3 weeks then we're gone for another 5 or so months. This is so so bad.

"Uh Liam? You alright mate?" I jumped slightly in surprise as Niall placed a hand on my shoulder. I turned to meet a very concerned pair of wide blue eyes.

"No, not really." I admitted.

"Why? What happened? Is Marissa okay?"

"Marissas fine Niall but... She won't be, none of us will in 2 months time.." I mumbled. Niall visibly tensed seemingly getting an idea of where this was heading. His hand dropped from my shoulder as he shook his head disbelievingly taking a few small steps back.

"What are you on about Liam?"

"We're going to Australia... In 6 weeks." I croaked. Niall sucked in a sharp breath and I knew this wouldn't be good, he was very sensitive. His bottom lip began to tremble and he placed his head in his hands.

"We can't leave them..." Nialls words were slightly muffled by his hands but I could still hear the sadness behind them.

"It's just 4 months... And as much as I truly hate to be away from any of them that long we can't just cancel the tour. It breaks my heart too Ni but I'm more concerned about the girls. They'll be crushed. Long distance is tough Niall..."

"Liam I swear to god if you're even thinking abou-"

"We have to...," I cut him off, not wanting to hear my thoughts out loud. "More than anything in the world I don't want to but we gotta do it for the girls."

I tried to avoid any sort of tears but as I realised my worst fear was becoming a reality i felt the water works coming on. Niall was already way past my point and was curling himself into my chest, dampening my shirt with his tears. I rubbed his back soothingly and let a single drop slide down my cheek.

"We have to tell the boys about this." I whispered. Niall didn't answer but I knew he was thinking it too. Harry is gonna flip. I pulled out my phone, not wanting to leave Nialls aid, and sent a group message to the boys summing up my plan and delivering the heart shattering news. Within seconds the other three burst through the doors of my room, panting nervously and breaking down at the sight of me and Niall. Obviously realising this was not some stupid joke. It was a frightening reality.

"Liam we can't..." Zayn croaked.

I shook my head in sadness. "Sorry lads... But you know we have to do this..."

"So this is the end huh?" Lou snapped. "Just like that?"

"Just like that..." I sighed sadly.

Louis and Zayn burst into tears, shocking me and running over to hold onto Niall and I. I looked over to Harry who was standing in the doorway in shock, mouth agape, glossy eyes and tear stained cheeks. I knew he wasn't gonna take this well. None of us ever will.

This is gonna be the hardest decision we've ever made.
