One Direction

Short Story

"Thank you" Liam said to the fans his voice pained. "For everything you have done for us." Niall nodded and stared out into the audience,tears stinging the corners of his eyes, "For being here while we did what we love. Thank you for staying through the tough times and loving as with your heart. "

"We love you "Harry continued, the spotlight hitting his face perfectly as he admired the thousands of fans before him. "You guys made our journey amazing and something that will never be forgotten."

The boys all nodded, tears rolling down there cheeks. The crowd was confused, what were they trying to tell them? Zayn steps forward, losing his normally calm composure. "You're all beautiful. You're all amazing and you're OUR fans." The crowd fell silent as Louis stepped in front.

All the fans were not really realizing what the boys were saying.
"It's so hard to leave all of you... It's hard to end this and leave the boys but we have so many beautiful memories. So many perfect reminders of how perfect our lives have been. "
The boys formed a group hug, crying into each other's arms as the fans finally fully realize it's been there last performance as One Direction.

They turned to the audience, kissed their fingertips, raised them to the audience and waving slowly smiling through their tears.
They brought their microphones to their mouths and each inhaled sharply.
I'm Harry styles, I'm Zayn Malik, I'm Niall Horan, I'm Louis Tomlinson, and I'm Liam Payne, and we WERE One Direction.
The stage became completely black and a hushed silence fell over the arena. The screen above the stage lighting up. As their X factor performances flashed on the screen the boys stood offstage, staring at the screen before them. The clip slowly faded to darkness again, and the boys turned to each other, silence falling over the room. "So this is it?" Niall whispered, his voice cracking. Harry nodded before quickly wiping away a tear. They hugged for what seemed like forever, unable to let each other go before Harry adjusted his curls and walked to the door, waving goodbye to his four best friends. His four brothers.
Zayn followed, along with Niall and finally Liam, leaving Louis to sit on the guitar amp, his fingers drummed on the side as he stared at the ground, his tears falling quickly.
"Forever young..." He sang quietly as his tears fell. "I wanna be... Forever... Young."
