We Need A Reunion

Part 15

Louis and I went up to my hotel room and waited for the rest of the boys. Louis has texted them all which hotel room we were in and told them to come by in ten minutes while we freshen up.

I took off my makeup before slipping off my dress, shoes and jewellery. I put on a pair of leggings and one of Zayn's hoodies that I stole last time I was over. I also took out my contacts and put on my glasses. Crying with contacts in hurt.

Five minutes later Louis came back with sweats and a t-shirt on. The boys all then arrived first Harry, then Liam, then Niall. Zayn came a few minutes later and I immediately got up and hugged him.

"You literally saw me not an hour ago." He said chuckling but hugging me back anyways.

"I know but I deserve hugs I was working all night." I say pouting while pulling out of the hug. I lead him to the couches where the rest of the boys were and plop down with my legs over his.

"Is that my hoodie?" Zayn asks pointing at the hoodie I have on.

"Yup! I would've had one of Lou's on but I couldn't find it." I say. He and Louis laughed at me.

"Hey Lou. How did we end up with this hoodie stealer?" Zayn asks Louis.

"Well I walked in on her life. I don't know about you though." He says in amusement.

"Wait. Hold up. How do Zayn and Kayleigh know each other? How'd they get so close? How come Zayn is still talking to Lou? And since when did Kayleigh wear glasses?" Liam asks seriously confused.

"I'm so confused" Niall whispers to himself. I giggle slightly at that. Niall looks up and gives me a smile.

"Well Li, Z and I met four years ago at the same event as tonight. He'd just gotten signed with my Uncle around the same time as Lou. Lou wasn't there as he had an interview that day in England or else he would've been there. I was nervous and bumped into Z and we got chatting and we hit it off. He's one of my best friends now and has helped me through a lot and vice versa. Zayn talks to Lou because they're both my friends and I'm not letting them not like each other. And I've had glasses since I was fifteen but I normally wear contacts." I say turning to the boys while Zayn puts an arm around me. I look over at him then as I remember our earlier conversation. "By the way, do you wanna tell them now or at a later date?"

"It's better now than never right? I mean there's no point in not telling them" he says back.

"Tell us what?" All four confused boys ask in unison. I giggle at that.

"I want to to hear Z out and not to interrupt. Just know that I will throw a potato at you if you don't listen or if you interrupt. Leave the questions till the end please." I say sternly while smirking slightly. The boys nod so Zayn takes a deep breath before explaining.

"You guys know that when I left the band, I let you believe that I wanted to. That's not the case. Management and Simon thought it would bring more attention if one of us started drama so they forced me out of the band. I really didn't want to but Simon said that I had to as I was still under his contract. He said that as long as I was under his contract he could do whatever he wanted to me, to us. He made me leave and told me that if I told any of you, he would destroy both your and my careers and I couldn't do that to you. I didn't care about my own at that point but you all love your jobs so I couldn't not do it. So I left, I've always wanted to tell you. That's why I wrote that song I sang tonight. I missed you lot and was so much happier when I was with you. I didn't think you'd ever hear the truth but K here reminded me that I'm no longer under Simon's influence or contract. That's why I'm telling you, it's been hard without you. I also thought that you'd hate me for leaving and I thought you were all happier without me. I mean you all looked happier in interviews and you made an amazing album without me. I just want you to know that I really, truly missed each and every one of you. I will always rather be performing with you lot and having fun than performing on my own. It's just not the same without you guys. It's been hard lately with everything that's going on."

By the time he finished the boys were angry and in tears.

"So they made you leave?" Liam asks angrily. Zayn and I nod.

"We never hated you Zayn. We were just confused as to why you left. We were happier in the interviews because we'd made the solo decision and were excited for that. Not because we were happier without you." Niall said.

The boys look at each other before standing up and having a group hug. 'Just like old times' I thought smiling. They broke apart smiling with tears running down their faces. They sat back down and I immediately put my legs back on top of Zayn's which he laughs at.

"Am I ever getting that hoodie back?" He asks.

"Nope! Mine!" I say giggling.

"If you don't mind me asking Kayleigh, why were you crying while Lou sang his second song?" Harry asks.

I stop smiling at that and look at Lou.
