The Love Behind Everything Else
Chapter 9
(Niall's POV)
It's been two days since Zayn told us he was leaving. We were all back to normal and talking again, it was the sudden shock that left us feeling broken. Well, we couldn't be as normal as before; he was leaving this month, near the end. Only a few days to go.
Louis was really upset, but somehow, he kept his cool and spent almost every passing moment with Zayn. I knew that he was deeply affected and it hit him the hardest.
Liam and Harry were better too. Though Harry still got emotional a bunch of times. Liam was really brave. Him and Zayn have been the closest and this is hard on him, but he keeps smiling knowing that Zayn was finally going to be happy.

"Elizabeth, Alexia! You ready? We have to drop you off in an half an hour!" Liam shouted around the suite, making sure all the girls' luggage was here.
"Liam, I'm outside!" Elizabeth laughed. "Where's Alexia?" he whined, throwing his hands in the air.
"Right there." she pointed behind Liam. "Can we go now?" he glared Alexia. "Sure, and you better hurry
or we might be late." she said walking out.
"Hurry or we might be late!" Liam mimicked, annoyed. "Hey, don't let it get to you!" I chuckled, helping him with the suitcases.
We walked downstairs and quickly put the luggage in the car.
"I'm going to miss you guys." Alexia informed. "Oh, really. Well none of us are going to miss you." Liam replied, annoyance was still in his voice. "Aww, Leeyum." she laughed, poking his arm.
"Please don't call me that. You're only allowed to call me Sir Liam Payne." he told in a posh accent. "Sure I will. Sir Leeyum!" she laughed. Liam glared at her.
This just made me and Elizabeth laugh hysterically. Liam was just so gullible sometimes, but his kindness got the best of him.
Soon we arrived at the airport, but the paparazzi had reached there before us. I'm guessing Louis, Harry and Zayn arrived a little while ago.
"There you guys are! We've got all your stuff checked in." Harry smiled as we walked up to the three.
"Thank you so much!" Elizabeth chirped.
"Well, I think it's time to say goodbye, you've got a few minutes before boarding." Zayn said, pulling in both the friends in for a hug. I could tell he had mumbled something to Elizabeth, making her tighten her grip.
"I'm gonna miss you so much, Liz. Maybe you too Alexia." Liam said, hugging the girls. "We're going to miss you too, Liam." they replied in unison.
"You two have been so fun to be around with. Thank you for everything." Harry grinned as they all hugged.
"You were really something." I laughed as I pulled Alexia in for a hug. "Thanks. You're really sweet." she chuckled.
I could feel the tears starting to form up as it was my turn to say goodbye to Elizabeth.
"Thank you for coming to visit us. It means a lot. I'm going to miss having you around." I whispered. "You're a great person, Niall. Thanks for spending time with us. I'm going to miss you a lot too." she cried, wrapping her arms around me. I smiled, knowing that she had fun while she was here.
Lastly it was Louis's turn. His eyes were all watery and tears were falling down. Elizabeth moved forward and wiped away his tears as tears were forming in her eyes too.
They both hugged for a while, before Louis pulled back. He planted a kiss on her forehead and hugged her one last time before the girls' had to leave.
"Bye guys! Hope to see you soon!" they called as they got in line to board the plane. We waved and stayed there until they had boarded.

I laid in bed after dinner, quiet and just thinking about Elizabeth. She was such a kind and amazing girl. Always smiling and helping us whether we asked or not.
She really helped us understand that it was best for Zayn to leave. She told us everything they had talked about a few days ago in the park.
*Flashback*
"You guys have to understand that Zayn never planned on hurting you. He wanted to protect you and help you all these years. And I know that he did. You all enjoyed your time with him and had fun. But he was missing something while doing all this. He never fully enjoyed the music; he wanted to do something else. It's like he's been acting for the past five years of his life. He wants to break free and do something more Zayn. Something that'll make him feel complete, satisified." Elizabeth told us.
"He told you how he felt?" Harry asked. "Yeah." she nodded.
"Well then, we better make the best of the time we've got left with him, right?" Liam said. "Yes, we should make his last days in One Direction pleasant ones!" I added. The others nodded in approval.
