Zayn sat in his room on the floor. It had been two days since he talked with management.

He hadn't really talked to anyone. Liam and harry seemed to be doing fine. Niall was dealing. Louis...he couldn't talk to Louis.

He wished he'd never said anything. Why did he have to leave his room.

This was going to be his last show. His last concert with his friends...with the person he loved. Would he ever see them again?

He didn't need to tell any of the boys that he'd gotten fired. They already knew. He was being used as a example. Do what your told or else.

He started to cry. He didn't want to leave. This,...this was home now. He would never be able to hang out with Liam and Harry while they made tea. Or chat with Niall about his potatos...and Louis..

Not Louis. No. Please I don't want to leave him. He's...he's what I wanted so much. After what I did I know it's not far to keep him but, i-i love him.

Zayn started to cry harder. Would he even still be a singer? Could he even sing without the others?

Why? Why did he have to talk...to speak up. Why?

The knock on the door made him look up. He opened it hoping to see Liam...or..or Louis no...he can't talk to Louis.

It was just a assistant. "Sorry mister Malik but it's time to get ready...are you alright?"

Zayn knew why she asked. He hadn't eaten at all since they all got split up. The fact his eyes were red and puffy from tears didn't help.

"Yes I'm fine. I'll be there in five." The assistant nodded and hurries away. Zayn shut the door and got dressed putting make up on to hide the bags under his eyes. The make up person would notice and probably do better but he might as well.

The walk to the van was gloomy and dark. It was the last time he'd perform. Louis...no don't think about him. You...can't...no.

He'd asked to ride in a different car. He knew seeing the other boys would just make him cry then the everyone at the show would know and...well basically it would be to much.

Even the ride there was painful. It was quiet. Not even the car radio could lighten the mood. Louis could...no.

"Alright mister Malik ready to go onstage?" Zayn nodded even though he knew he wasn't. The last time....the last time.

The second he stepped out his heart started to hurt. He looked at Liam who was trying not to give it away. He knew Liam didn't want him to leave. They were such good friends.

Then he looked at Niall. He knew Niall would run up and hug him goodbye before he left for good. He'd honestly miss the strange conversations he and Niall had.

Then there was Harry. No one really knew it but him and harry were also good friends. They used to spend hours talking about tea and music. Would that ever happen again?

Then there he was. The one he so desperately wanted to avoid. Louis. Zayn looked at Louis with a pained face. His throat caught. He wanted to scream nothing would come out though.

Louis. No. I don't want to go. Please. I don't want to leave him. I-i don't want to...

"Hey it's okay. We will see each other again." Louis was now standing In front of Zayn. "B-but" Louis shook his own head silencing Zayn, he leaned in giving Zayn a warm hug.

Zayn wanted so much to stay that way forever. He wanted to cry into Louis shoulder and for Louis to tell him it would all be okay. Doing that now though would only get them in worse trouble so he let go.

The whole performance had a different vibe. The crowd even seemed quieter.

Then it was time to announce it. People cried,shouted, even cursed, but none of them knew how they boys were feeling as they hugged onstage in one big group.

Zayn was going to leave. There was nothing they could do. Louis gave Zayn another hug after the show.

"I love you." Zayn sniffled. "I love you too." Then Zayn ran out. He couldn't stand one more second with Louis. Or any of the boys. He was sure he'd die or start to cry waterfalls.

Was this the end of one direction?
