Stand Up

Stand Up - Part 17

Zayn’s POV:

The concert was almost over. It was really awkward between Niall and Liam. They didn’t stand next to each other, they just ignored each other. I hope the fans didn’t noticed. When the concert was over, we all went backstage. It was a pretty good show honestly, even though we didn’t really rehearsed. Louis, Harry and I were talking and laughing while Liam and Niall were just sitting there. Harry and Louis were also doing kind of mean to Niall, I was the only one who was acting normal to him and Emma. I know there’s nothing going on between them, I know it was just because they were drunk. I understand they’re mad at them and that it hurt them, but kicking Niall out the house, that’s over the top. He still belongs to our band, without Niall our band doesn’t exist anymore. Niall stood up and left, I immediately ran after him “Hey, hold on. I’m coming with you” I said, he smiled at me and nodded. I went back inside, grabbed my stuff, said goodbye to everyone and walked outside with Niall. We took the underground. “Where are you staying right now ?” I asked “I’m staying at the Hilton hotel” he replied “Really ? You’re paying for a room ?” I asked “I won’t it free” he chuckled “Mhm” I mumbled, “Why are you doing this ?” he asked “Doing what ?” – “Doing so friendly to me, aren’t you mad ?” he questioned, I sighed “You know, what happened between you and Emma isn’t right. Everyone knows that, but Louis and Harry shouldn’t act lik this to you anymore. Ofcourse everyone was mad, and I understand if Gina and Liam are still mad, it’s not something you forgive easily. But atleast we can act normal to you again, cause you did’nt do anything wrong to us. And I thought you maybe could use a friend” I replied, his face lit up “thanks” he said “No problem buddie, I’m always here for you, you know that” I replied, he smiled and nodded. We went inside his hotel room and I lit a cigarette on the balcony as Niall was ordering two pizza’s. We watched some movie’s together, drunk beers and ate pizza.

Next morning Niall was watching TV as I was smoking on the balcony. “Zayn !” Niall shouted, I immediately went inside and looked to the TH. Oh no.. “One Direction splitting up ?” the women said as a picture appeared of Niall and I walking inside the hotel followed by a picture of my smoking on the balcony. “Niall Horan and Zayn Malik from the famous boyband One Direction were spotted after the concert last night in the Hilton Hotel. Apparently the boys are in a fight, because of this” a picture of Emma and Niall kissing in the club appeared on the screen, my jaw dropped. Who did something like this ? “This is the girl Niall kissed with. Liam Payne’s girlfriend.” a picture of Emma appeared on the screen, this would be a total mess “Would the kiss make One Direction split up ? It’s been rumored they will, we will…” Niall turned the TV volume down, his eyes were tearing up “This can’t be happening” he said, I took a seat next to him and rubbed his back “It will happen. And you have to ignore every paparazzi and even the questions from the fans about it. They will show up by the hotel” I said, he sighed and wiped his tears “They will be crying, they will be scared and they will be hurt cause they think we will split up” he said “Maybe the band better takes a break” I replied “You think ?” he questioned dryly. I took a shower and than I left. I went outside the hotel and the girls started screaming, around 50 girls showed up, I smiled and waved at them, took some pictures but I said I couldn’t give an answer on their questions, there was also a lot of media, but I ignored them. I hugged a girl who was crying a lot. I could see the pain in her eyes,  I whispered in her ear everything will be alright but that she couldn’t tell anyone, she nodded weakly and I kissed her forehead and took a taxi home. I was thinking the whole ride of the fan, I’m sure she wasn’t the only one who was hurt so much jus because of the rumors. We had another concert tonight so we can show we’re not splitting up. The radio was playing “The One Direction concert tonight is cancelled” – “Hey could you turn the volume up please ?” I asked to the taxi driver “The boys from One Direction cancelled their show tonight and not only tonight but all their upcoming shows next month are cancelled. Is this the beginning of their split up ?” – “Thanks” I said as he turned the volume down. I can’t believe they actually cancelled the show !

 Emma’s POV :

I finally got up. I haven’t ate lately. I went outside to check our mail, from the moment I went outside Liam arrived with his car, I ran to him when he got out. I grabbed his arm “We need to talk” I said as my eyes filled them with tears, Liam put his arm away and walked away “Liam please ! I listened to your story too after everything that happened between you and Caitlin !” I shouted as I started crying, Liam turned around and walked up to me. He was standing so close, I was scared. His eyes were full of anger “I had a reason behind it, I couldn’t do anything about it. You could, you didn’t have a reason” he said “I can explain it, please listen to me” I said as he was walking away, I grabbed his arm again. He turned mad around and pushed me off him “Keep your hands off me ! I don’t want to be touched by sluts !” He shouted as he walked inside and left me standing there, in total shock. Louis and Harry were looking from the door, Louis walked inside and Harry walked to me “Come love, go inside” he said as he walked with me inside my house, I looked around and saw some paparazzi arrived, I cried tons. I don’t understand how I still have tears left, I’ve been crying every day.
